Lauren (Slender)

Lauren is the main protagonist and playable character of the 2013 survival horror video game, Slender: The Arrival. She is Kate's childhood friend.
==Biography==
Lauren first appears in the first chapter of the game, trying to find her best friend Kate. She goes to her house only to find it empty. She finds writings and drawings on the walls. As time goes on, the weather starts to get stormy. Lauren investigates the house a bit. She comes across Kate's bedroom, but when she tries to open the door, she finds out it's locked.
She then ends up having an encounter with Slender Man. She makes a run for it and then finds a flashlight. After that, she finds the key to Kate's room. She goes to the room and enters it. Inside the room, she finds notes about Slender Man. She looks at a broken window inside the room. She then hears of what sounds to be screaming coming from the woods.
She then heads to the woods. Upon her arrival, she finds out that the screaming came from the Oakside Park. She finds herself engaged in the same situation Kate had experienced a few years back; grab all eight pages. Lauren finds them all, but is then caught by Slender Man. She's then teleported to another location. Lauren then ends up becoming unconscious for some time.
She then wakes up. She finds herself near a mining facility called Kullman Mining Co. She investigates the facility a bit, but then she sees that she needs to power six generators to activate the lift. When she heads to the first door in the shaft, she starts getting chased by a proxy of her best friend Kate. She also gets harassed by Slender Man along the way.
Lauren finds out the Chaser's weakness; the bright light. She uses the tactic and activates all of the generators. She goes to the lift and escapes. When she leaves the lift, she finds herself near a cliff. She travels the mountain to find the radio tower. She goes to the tower only to find the forest burning. She heads towards the tower with an enraged Slender Man chasing her. She gets to the tower on time, but her battery dies out. She runs through the hallways only to find a dead end. She finds the burnt corpse of CR, and finds a recording.
First Ending: Lauren then sees images of what could possibly be a child named Charlie Matheson Jr. or a proxified Kate is some type of web coming closer to her. A angry entity (possibly Slender Man) approaches her. The camera's battery the dies and Lauren is possibly killed or proxified.
Hardcore Ending: Lauren sees the image of either Charlie or Kate coming close to her in a web. She falls off the radio tower. The film cuts to the camera lying to its side and the static flickers until the battery dies. Whether or not Lauren survived the fall is never shown.
Official Steam Edition Ending: After Lauren listens to the recording, Charlie (now a decaying proxy) knocks Lauren and then locks her in the basement of Kate's burnt house. If the players move, Charlie will watch your every movement by moving his in your direction just watching you. Lauren collects a book from a cell, Charlie disappears and Kate's crying is heard. Lauren walks up the stairs coming across Kate. Lauren gets closer to her, but Kate turns back in to a proxy and kills her. The film cuts to the camera lying to its side, showing Lauren's dead, limp, and unmoving legs. Her legs is than dragged by an unknown being. The camera battery then dies.
