HEIGHT AND BUILD: 5"7, lanky and skinny.
PLAY-BY: Jamie Lee Curtis
EXPY SOURCE: Laurie Strode (Halloween)
FULL APPEARANCE:
Laurie has a slim face with slim lips, an upturned nose, and beige skin. Her poofy hair often covers the majority of her cheeks and most certainly always covers both of her ears. She has faded dark circles under her eyes. Her appearance is a second thought to her, yet she likes having some element of style. This style never seems to translate into her hair, which constantly looks a little on the frizzy side, but that's just its normal state. It is quite soft. She has no freckles or any beauty marks to be seen, in fact her skin is quite clear of any blemish marks, but she does have one long, thin scar from a knife on her upper left arm.
She near always wears a duo of a shirt and pants, no longer a fan of long skirts. Light blue shirts are often tucked into her pants as a stylistic choice, even when half of the shirt comes undone from running around too much. Cardigan like items are a favorite of hers, as they keep her arms warm when she starts complaining about the cold.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Laurie is a girl who leans slightly towards introverted side of things with a keen sense of her own mortality. Very book smart, built around a tough backbone, a little bit of a loner, she often distances herself from people unintentionally, but at heart, she is a very sweet girl who is an asset to have around.
A fan of learning, Laurie would take up any course offered to her just to get some more knowledge stored away in the back of her mind. Despite her book smarts, she does have a good amount of street smarts that she uses to keep herself out of trouble. A fan of common sense, she doesn't make stupid decisions before thinking about just how badly they can screw her over. While she does distance herself from people, she truly craves fun conversation with a group of friends and someone to hold her for a while and tell her everything is alright.
She is a bit jumpy around shadows, extra tall people, and creaky noises (like old wood flooring). Sometimes, she has nightmares of a tall man with a large dagger, but she tries to push them out of her head as soon as she wakes up. Certain things scare her and she does not want to be around them any longer than she physically has to. She doesn't like sharing what scares her as she thinks it makes her weak, but life moves on and she works through it.

BIRTHPLACE: High Reaches Weyr
HISTORY:(Trigger warnings for death and trauma)
Youngest of three children, Laurie can't remember much about her old family, namely anything to do with them. She was forcefully separated from them at the age of two after the killing of her older sister, the disappearance of her brother, and the death of her parents during threadfall. Being adopted by a local couple, Laurie was raised under a new name and a new life. As the new daughter of two quiet parents, she grew up the quite the quiet child herself. In her youth, while kids her age were running around wild, yelling and screaming at each other, she studied anything she could. While she was interested in scribecrafting, she never picked it up, as she thought she'd be better off as a jack-of-all-trades, while never having any formal training. Laurie really shone in watching after the younger kids around High Reaches, being something along the lines of a babysitter of sorts. She was good with a smile and a kind word to the younger ones, making her a favorite among them.
As she grew older, Laurie was tormented with dark nightmares of a tall, shadowy figure chasing her through her home. She could never make out the figure's face, but she could make out the dagger in his hand which gave her all the reason in the world to run. Night after night without fail she woke with a jolt, day after day she pretended that nothing was wrong, although she became more and more on edge. Figuring something was wrong, her parents thought that she might need to talk. After a while, they finally pulled together her strange dreams into a coherent thought. Thinking of the wellbeing of their daughter, they figured some time alone from their home would bring her back to her quietly happy state, as well as taking away her nightmares.
She transferred to Semaca when she turned eighteen, a decision that she made of her own will, without her parents. This new place was like a new world to her, so many new possibilities. Yet, the nightmares persisted. She figured that they might never stop, so she needed a distraction. Quiet life was driving her crazy, not talking about how she felt was killing her from the inside out, feeling something that she could no longer stand made her do a decision that she never felt compelled to do back home in High Reaches, becoming a candidate. While, personally, she does not feel as if she should be doing this, it is better than walling herself up again. It is getting her back out there, which is what she aims to do in this new location.
