Laura Kinney (Earth-101001)

Laura Kinney (ローラ・キニー Rōra Kinī) is one of the main protagonists in the anime series Kingdom Hearts.
== Appearance ==
=== Normal ===
Laura has tanned skin and her dark brown hair is tied in a long ponytail with a white ribbon, the ends of the ribbon standing straight up. She wears a red jacket with orange accents on the arms with a black tank top and red jeans. In her hero outfit, She wears a short black dress and covers it with a small, light grey jacket, with samurai leg armor on each side. Around her neck is a long black cape with white trim.
== Personality ==
Under the Facility, Laura was raised to be a living weapon and treated as a tool, with only her mother Sarah Kinney treating her with kindness. Being forced to kill them under the influence of the Trigger Scent was a deeply traumatic experience for Laura, who internalized a deep sense of self-loathing and guilt. For much of her life, Laura struggled with her self-loathing and the belief that her past as an assassin made her unworthy of being an Avenger.
Laura has shown to have trust issues due to her history. She does not like being deceived but accepts the fact that it can be used as a tool in the outside world. Her own relationship with everyone was not always strong, seeing as how none of them trusted her or even liked each other for that matter. However, with the support of Logan, Emma Frost and the rest of the Avengers, Laura was slowly able to work towards overcoming her traumas -- best seen when she cast aside her Facility-assigned codename of X-23.
== Biography ==
After begin escaped from the Facility, Laura is wandered the streets, leaving her emotionally distraught and defenseless as the A.I.M. took her away to A.I.M. Headquarters.
After four years, the military transport containing Laura crashed near a gas station. Thus she became a fugitive, ended up both destroying buildings and cars in Shibuya and running into 7 teen heroes with whom she would later fight crime.
Snow Girl suggested that fighting may not be the answer, and only then did Osmosis notice the handcuffs. Carefully, he talked Laura down and took off the handcuffs. She grabbed and kissed him, and warned him to leave her alone if they do not wish to die. Having been tracked by the Ultimate Avengers, she reunited with them and fought off the members of A.I.M. sent to recapture her.
Angered at their promise of destruction, she yelled at Marcus, reminding him that she told him to leave her alone. The two got into an argument, but the situation was quickly defused after they apologized to each other. After saving Shibuya from A.I.M.'s particle weapon, she was not arrested and instead decided to join the team, so that she could learn self-restraint, taking the enemies alive and acting more responsibly.
In the season finale, Laura has died when she sacrifices herself to help her friends to kill Naga.
== Powers and abilities ==
=== Powers ===
Mutant Physiology: As a clone of Wolverine, Laura possesses most of his mutant powers.
* Superhumanly Acute Senses: Laura possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. She is capable of seeing at much greater distances — and with perfect clarity — than an ordinary human, and her visual acuity is so refined she is able to see a single Sentinite with her naked eye. She retains this same level of clarity in near-total darkness. Her sense of hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing her to both hear sounds that ordinary humans can't and to hear sounds that ordinary humans can, but at much greater distances. Laura is able to use her highly developed sense of smell to track targets by scent with an impressive degree of success, even hours afterward. She was even able to detect the victim of a killing had high cholesterol by scent alone.
* Bone Claws: Laura's skeleton includes three retractable bone claws in each arm that she can extend and retract at will. These claws are housed beneath the skin and muscle. Unsheathing them causes her skin to tear and bleed, but the wounds are quickly dealt with by her healing factor. Laura can unsheathe any number of these claws at once, although she must keep her wrists straight at the moment the claws emerge. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than normal human bone, allowing Laura to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials.
* Regenerative Healing Factor: Like Wolverine, Laura's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing factor that enables her to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. She is capable of fully healing injuries resulting in massive tissue damage and blood loss such as multiple bullet wounds, slash wounds, and puncture wounds within a matter of minutes. Her healing factor is developed to such a degree, she is capable of reattaching severed limbs, such as a hand. She has also proven capable of regrowing an entire arm on her own (Elixir was incapacitated at the time). Her healing factor may fluctuate with her psychological state as battle wounds tend to heal very quickly, but her self-inflicted cuts appear to remain visible for some time.
* Foreign Chemical Immunity: Laura's natural healing also affords her the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs. She can be affected by some drugs, such as tranquilizers if she is exposed to a massive dose.
* Disease Immunity: Due to her highly efficient immune system, Laura is immune to all Earthly diseases and infections.
* Longevity: Presumably, because Laura is a clone of the mutant Wolverine, her healing factor will also provide her with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process.
* Superhuman Stamina: Laura's muscles produce considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of an ordinary human. She can exert herself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair her.
* Superhuman Agility: Laura's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
* Superhuman Reflexes: Laura's reflexes are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. In at least one case she reacts to and slices in half with her claws a bullet fired at her face from nearly point-blank range.
* Superhuman Durability: She was capable of fighting many Heartless without sustaining any severe injuries and surviving energy blasts from Brois Ravencroft (even if she required healing and nearly died).
===Abilities===
Expert Covert Ops Training: Raised in captivity, due to her extensive training as a top-secret operative, Laura has been trained to become a living weapon. She is highly trained in the use of long-range weapons and explosives and is an expert in assassination techniques.
Expert Tracker: Due to her enhanced sense of smell, Laura is a dangerous tracker and has memorized many different scents.
Master Martial Artist: She is a master in hand to hand combatant, with intensive training in numerous armed and unarmed martial arts techniques during her time in the facility.
Master Acrobat: She is an Olympic class athlete, gymnast, acrobat, and aerialist capable of numerous complex maneuvers and feats.
Multilingual: Laura can speak fluent English, French, and Japanese. She says she is fluent in many other languages and has been shown speaking Russian.
Gifted Intellect: She possesses the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly responds to changing tactical situations, being able to produce precise odds in different situations. Additionally, Laura has been stated to have a photographic memory.
===Strength level===
Because of her healing factor, Laura can push her muscles, joints, and ligaments to levels beyond the natural limits of a girl of her height, weight, and build without sustaining injury. Unlike Wolverine, her skeleton isn't laced with Adamantium. While her skeleton, much like her musculature, can withstand greater pressures than a normal human skeleton, she can only withstand so much weight and pressure without sustaining fractures. While not superhuman, her strength is at the peak of human potential and can lift about 800 lbs with maximum effort.
== Trivia ==
* X-23 has been known to practice self-harm, and has injured herself on a consistent basis using her claws from a young age. She was first seen engaging in the behavior after killing her sensei under the effects of the trigger scent.
* Her healing factor acts faster than Wolverine's due to the lack of Adamantium in her body, but since she is so young, it fluctuates to the point that it becomes slower more often than faster.
* It's stated that Laura Kinney, 'professional hard-case with zero patience', thinks bananas smell like nail polish remover.
* Laura once stated to Storm that she never loses at chess.
