p e r s o n a l i t y .
general.
Laura is a timid soul, serene and also incredibly polite, always using appropriate honorifics for the people she meets and never calling people by their first name until they give her permission to that effect. Her privileged background has proven effective at giving her a strong sense of morality, though she often strays due to her lack of resistance to peer pressure. Her dislike of competing and fighting is born from a fear of not being able to meet another's expectations, which has stunted her chances of love many times in the past also. Most likely due to her mother's contempt for her, Laura lacks self-confidence, however she is eager to impress and is thus very hard-working, only taking time off when it is appropriate or when it helps others.
She is also rather empathetic and somewhat wise as well if you catch her at the right time or the right subject crops up in conversation. Working in the science and healthcare fields, it is quite obvious that Laura would have some degree of intelligence, enough to pass two degrees at only age 21, degrees that normally would take 3-4 years a piece. She takes her time when dealing with situations, preferring to carefully think through a solution before putting it into practice with the utmost precision. She has demonstrated a willingness to take decisive action multiple times, however the urge to do so is sporadic in nature and she often fails to be an effective medical practitioner as a result, a flaw she must overcome.
Laura gets on well with her fellow Gym Leaders and often finds herself having a good time with them, apparently being the only people she feels truly comfortable around. Some are motivated to protect her due to her shy and reserved nature, however many, like her best friend and head of security Shino, possess a quiet confidence in her abilities and will assure others in their doubt.
She also has a uh... well a bit of a dark secret. Laura is in every sense of the word, an otaku, an avid fan of the Haruhi Suzumiya series and often cosplays as Asahina Mikuru, one of the female characters of the show when she's alone in her apartment. If anyone were to find out about this, she'd be devastated, though she does dream of being confident enough to put on a Haruhi-based show for her sister some day. Being as shy and timid as she is, Laura has a few problems dealing with people she doesn't like and often, when confronted with aggression, panics and recites a reference to the Haruhi anime series, called the 'Mikuru Beam'. She is completely oblivious to the fact that it doesn't work in the slightest, though using it has provided a brief moment of confusion for attackers in the past, just long enough for her to get to safety.
Now, here's something you weren't expecting... ok maybe you were if you were paying attention, but Laura is in fact homosexual, attracted to only females. Despite her shy and reserved nature she is no stranger to love, having numerous ex-boyfriends throughout the years, all of which have ended in a bad break-up, which hasn't exactly helped her self-confidence much, however she has built up a sort of resistance to it over time. Somehow she has managed to stay friends with a lot of her ex's, including her head of security Shino Shoukichi, who still loves her to this day, despite the feelings being one-sided. As such this creates a lot of awkward conversation around the two, however they have become good friends during the project, often going out drinking together and the like. Now we go on to a rather touchy subject, Laura's virginity. She is still very much a virgin, despite her many relationships in the past, mostly due to her self-conscious nature and embarrassment. However, due to the fact that she has had boyfriends in the past, many believe her to be strictly heterosexual, which is not true. In fact, she has never had any sort of attraction to her male counterparts whatsoever, only really going out with them so as to not seem rude. She is in every sense a lesbian, though she would never admit it, especially in front of her sister, who she may or may not have slight feelings for. Frankly Laura's not even sure herself.
A little secret of hers is her tendency to talk in her sleep, usually about things she isn't allowed to speak about when awake. It has served as an endless frustration to her parents, friends and previous lovers, as she often spills secrets while in this sleeping state, usually in great detail. It doesn't help that she's also the sleepy drunk type, meaning that usually after one or two rounds off drinks, she passes out and can't be woken up for several hours afterwards.
a p p e a r a n c e .
general.
Well well well, what can we say about Laura? For a timid soul, she's a looker isn't she? Or at least, that's what everyone else thinks. She's not exactly the type to faun over her appearance but her diet is reasonably healthy despite the odd fast food trip now and again, but then again, who doesn't. Her profession does have an interest in keeping their employees physically fit, so she is rather avid sprinter, despite lacking strength, she is nimble and light.
Her features exude a shy beauty, hidden away under walls of cold, hard logic and reasoning. To many she is pretty enough to even be a model, though obviously with her nature that route is impossible. Instead, she is the healer that can cure with but a smile, her soft lips colored a glossy pink, warm and inviting when she casts her beautiful smile. Her hair is long, straight and silk to the touch, cut in straight bangs over her eyebrows and extending down to the small of her back, colored slate blue, though shimmering purple when the light hits it. The style of her hair has changed quite a bit over the years, from a short ponytail, to almost like a bowl cut, to long and wavy during her teenage years.
And then we come to the most interesting part of Laura's facial features, her eyes. Now, you may have already noticed the fact that they are indeed colored a chalky white and lavender, this is due to the fact that Laura was in fact blinded in a car accident at the age of 16, inherently caused by Uesugi Masato, who lost his wife in said accident. Out of guilt, Masato spent 6 months obsessively developing eye implants for the girl, spending copious amounts of money on researching the type of surgery needed to implement said implants. Eventually they were placed into her already existing iris, along with a microcomputer that allowed for software updates and the like. These implants allow vision far superior to that of normal humans, capable of seeing twice the distance and also having a focus distance of 1.5 times that of regular eyesight. There has also been talk of a zoom function being added, though it has yet to be fully developed and would require more surgery. There is a very large drawback to her eyes however, being that she suffers migraines at random intervals, usually when too much stress is put on the eyes. As such, she is required to take painkilling tablets every time she suffers one of these headaches.
Her body is very much the subject of a lot of jealousy among her colleagues, despite the fact that she covers herself up as much as possible. As stated before she is rather athletic, due to her lab's company policy of keeping their researchers fit and healthy. Her legs are reasonably well toned, again due to her sprinter training and she in fact had quite a lot of physical stamina, more so akin to a marathon runner rather than a sprinter. The rest of her body is quite lean and shapely, with reasonably large breasts and soft, pale skin that compliments the color of her eyes.
clothing.
As for her apparel, Laura has many different outfits for her various jobs and situations. I will start with her casual attire and move on to her various other wares of interest. Her casual outfit usually consists of a brown fishnet undershirt, made of an elastic nylon material and a hooded jacket made of thick polyester with a front zip, colored either a dark blue or lilac. Her three-quarter length shorts are also colored a dark blue and built to resist tear and weather damage. She often does not wear socks, though in winter she has been known to wear a pair of dark tights with her tough-heeled sandals.
Of course, due to her job as a Water-type Gym Leader, Laura has to have some sort of apparel to wear in the Gym itself related to her theme. She didn't choose this however, instead her rather over-zealous sister stuck her in the costume and the funding of the Gym seemed to like the idea. It is a swimsuit, a bikini to be exact, something that Laura would never
|
[/u] wear of her own volition. It is colored a dark blue and is styled in such a way called a side-tie, where, as the name suggests, the bikini bottoms must be tied in a knot at the hip. The bikini top is tied at the back f the neck around her reasonably large chest. She often gets flustered and embarrassed in this costume, to the point of trying to cover herself with her hands when a challenger appears to face her Gym. She has been invited to formal occasions before and as such has an outfit especially for said events. The dress itself is long and flowing, usually barely scraping the floor and secured around the wait just below the bust. It is in fact strapless and fastened with a zip at the back, with a pattern of diamonds near the right breast in the shape of a heart. Her hair is usually worn wavy and tied into a pair of ponytails on either side of her head, coming over her shoulders.[/blockquote][/blockquote] [/blockquote][/size] h i s t o r y . chapter I | -----.
