Lauren Atwood

== Before Vampirehood ==
Lauren was born on October 8, 1753, into a rich family. Her parents are unknown, but she has an older brother, Emmett. They were brought up in Ship's Haven, a small port-town. 
Her family has always been envied, especially during the second Water War (1777-1781), when many residents died due to the lack of drinkable water, while the rich were provided more than enough to survive. 
During a celebration of Emmett's engagement, an unknown assasin slaughtered her entire family, including her. The incident happened on October 23, 1782.
== Being a Vampire ==
The dead bodies were set to be burned by the residents of Ship's Haven, however Dominus - in the middle of his quest to recruit vampires- collected Emmett and Lauren's bodies, just in time to save their remains. He resurrected and turned them into vampires on October 25th, 1782.
It took her decades to get used to being who - and what - she became. She avoided the public and was only seen on rare occasions, alone. She buried herself in her grief and wanted to get revenge on the assasin that murdered her family. She managed to get her revenge in 1788 and was reunited with Emmett in 1789. They lived together for much of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Following Emmett's advice, she started doing therapy in 1987, 200 years after turning. After years of therapy, she became friends with her therapist, Miranda.
Their friendship completely changed Lauren, and made her open to the world again.
On a fateful night in 1993, she was forced to choose between Miranda and Miranda's baby's life, and her choosing Miranda led to them having a falling out.
== In the Series ==
Lauren is now a notable member of the vampire community, and actively keeps her eyes on the Coven. After finding out about Zack's past, she teams up with him in order to stop Zelda. 
Meanwhile, she's trying to make amends with Miranda, after decades of bad blood.
At the end of season 1, she is crowned as queen of the vampires, after Sheamus's fall.
In season 2, she battles a group of rebels who want to dethrone her for making an alliance with the Coven. She later agrees to marry one of the rebels, Hunter, to keep the peace, but this only causes further problems for her as queen.
