Lara (Fairy Tail Origins)

Lara is a side character in Fairy Tail Origins S5 and is one of the newbies of Divinus Magia. 
== Bio ==
Lara one day simply appeared at Divinus magia requesting to join, seeming like just a random thief seeking to make up for her crimes. All that however was a lie to cover up her intentions and questionable alliences. She is a C rank Dance Mage. She can mostly be seen hanging around Fuarn and Kit who she treats like younger siblings despite her being the youngest of their group. She is the younger sister of Biblico.
Lara was abandoned by her parents as a baby and only survived thanks to her older brother who found fefuge for them in an abandoned church. She grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere with very little magical knowlege available, but still managed to learn dance magic with her brother.
When she was 8, a Devil calling himself The Lord began manipulating her brother which led both siblings down an evil path which eventually brought them to Devil's Toungue. Lara was never a member of the dark guild, however she participated in their quests and considered herself an ally.
== Appearance ==
Lara is a very tall cat girl. She has short curly black hair, yellow eyes, rounded face and a darker complexion. Aside from her years and tail, she also has whiskers and paw pads. She wears a bell necklace around her neck at all times.
===Old Outfit===
Lara wore a pale yellow long-sleeved button up shirt with a green and grey coat thrown over it. The coat had a diamond-shaped hole in the back for her tail to stick out and a hood that she could be seen wearing from time to time. Her shoes had little bells attached to them. They are clearly only there for appearances' sake because they have no soles.
===Sleepwear ===
Lara's sleepwear consists of a short-sleeved yellow shirt and green shorts. When she wears it is the only time her guild mark can be seen. It's a green upside-down Divinus Magia mark.
=== Current Outfit ===
While Lara's shoes and shirt remain nearly the same, Lara has replaced her coat with a dark green tailcoat and a large brown belt that holds a bag for Devin's books and the sword she received from Mario. A bell similar to one Biblico wears is still present in the outfit
=== Winter Outfit ===
When out in the snow Lara puts on a brown coat with green fluff and legwarmers. She has a Divinus Deliveries logo on her arm and a brown bag .
== Personality ==
Lara is very stiff in her behaviour, trying her very best to come off mature to those around her. She displays an outwardly disdain to anything childish and gets offended at the implication that she is anything less than grown-up. This insecurity gets projected onto others quite often. It's typical of her to react to negative or difficult situations with anger and stubbornness. When scared, she'll often get very angry while at the same time backing up. She very easily becomes awkward and begins to stutter and stumble over her words coupled with copious apologies when faced with unfamiliar social situations. She's a skilled liar, making up complex cover stories for herself often on the spot and remaining completely confident when saying them. 
A completely different side of her can be seen around people she's close with. When in their company she becomes sweet, kind and very starry-eyed. She adores fairy tales and tends to picture herself and others in the typical roles of said stories. She allows herself to smile, laugh, joke around and gets concerned and defensive over them if anything is wrong. It's also around them that she allows herself to be most vulnerable and honest.
== Plot ==
Lara one day simply appeared at Divinus Magia requesting to join the guild, claiming to have been a thief in the past. She came along with a friend of hers (Fuarn) who was there to drop her off. Her entrance into the guild quickly became chaotic when her pirate friend took an interest in Miss P's ship. He was soon apprehended and both friends ended up as C rank members of the guild. Kit made sure to help Lara settle into to the guild despite her odd behaviour. 
Her first weeks at the guild were turbulent at best with multiple disagreements sparking up with the members. She mostly stuck to Kit who she relied of for giving her explanations to different interactions. Things settled down eventually and she became somewhat more friendly towards others afterwards.
Unwittingly, Lara hinted at her connection to Devil's Tongue, speaking about it as if rumors of them were commonplace when they weren't. She also clearly recognized Indoles, who was a spy of the guild at the time.
The person most suspicious of Lara was Flurry, who had a vendetta against her brother. Lara reminded Flurry too much of him. Even though she put up a smiley act around her after their first interraction, Flurry continued to be passive-agressive and suspicious.
Lara began to question her allegiance to her brother around the time of the sleepover, using stories to reveal fragments of her past and ask for advice on it. The sleepover was the first time Lara ever openly admitted to enjoying herself.
That same evening everything went wrong. While out questing, she unfortunately bumped into her brother Biblico. Despite efforts to explain herself, every word was shut down and she was belittled for her "rebellious phase" and love for fairy tales. She agreed to return home as long as she got to say goodbye to some people. With that granted, she returned to Divinus for what she believed to be one last time and met Devin. No longer bothering to keep up appearances, Lara revealed her love for storybooks to him as well as intentions of "going back to being bad". Although it hurt him, Devin created whole stacks of books for her to take along for the journey and reassured her of that she isn't a bad person. 
Saying goodbye to Kit and Fuarn was impossible though. And after a failed attempt to sneak out, the two convinced her to stay despite her fears of betraying family.
The GMG served as a good distraction for it all and Lara soon returned to regular questing. She had the pleasure of meeting Nix, whose disguised form she perceived as the perfect hero. She also had the displeasure of meeting his true form who messed with her as much as he could.
During the Eclipse gate arc Lara followed orders and stayed back at the guild. The following morning she visited Kit to make sure she was okay and to come clean about her true past crimes and her initial doubts about being in Divinus. The two had a heart to heart about elements of their past during which Lara comforted Kit through a breakdown and for the first time ever called her "sis".
While the guild was away at Salode, Lara and the other Newbies started a delivery service to cover the costs of disaster relief after the eclipse gate. During that time Lara also visited Indoles who was in a magical coma.
Both Flurry and Ritchie were onto her by then, and while she avoided Ritchie's wrath thanks to the Salode visit, Flurry had decided to take her revenge on Biblico and kidnapped Lara to do so. Lara only got out alive thanks to Yamitsu's intervention.
That same night she confronted her brother about the years of mistreatment. She refused to join Devil's Toungue despite having once wanted to do so and broke off her bond with her brother. Throughout her conversation she tried to tell Biblico that the two of them had been tricked by the Lord and to offer him a chance to change but both statements were ignored. Like that, Lara made her final decision to stick with Divinus Magia despite her brother's threats to kill her.
Since then she has been fully cooperating with Divinus Magia and has provided the guild leaders with information on Devil's toungue. She still however wishes to spare her brother's life and is desperately hoping that he can change since she has done so herself. However she has been doubting whether or not her brother is still even in there
