## Biography

*To see Laurel's appearance on Coda, visit her page here.*

Originally seen as a random outsider, Laurel was quickly welcomed into the group. She bonded with Erin, and was kicked out alongside him by Brayden. They found Kaitlyn on the street and picked her up and lived at an abandoned and overrun town called Regalton. This is when Laurel revealed she was actually a part of the Delta, a small militia stationed a couple hours away. A struggled ensued due to Erin's growing suspicions of Laurel's motives being confirmed. She took Kaitlyn and left Erin.

At the Delta, Laurel became feeling conflicted, and she decided to return to the prison. She was welcomed back, ironically, by Brayden. Now a full fledged member of the group, as Belle returned from the Delta, she asked her to kill Lilly, her sister. Belle went through with it. Laurel worked on speaking to Ellie, however, Ellie was virtually cold to her. After Lilly's death, Laurel left the group. After many confrontations, especially with Xander and Noah, Laurel became good friends with Daisy. When the walkers got into the Hardware Store, Laurel was presumed dead. She was saved by Erin and Belle, and she repaired her relationship with Erin.

After this, she left the group to make sure the Delta was gone. After three months, she returned with Max and Aidan, two new people she met. At Regalton, as the prison was overrun, Laurel accidentally ate some of Ellie's poisoned food. She became sick and lashed out at Daisy and Ellie. She tried to leave the group again, but Max refused to go with her. She had a seizure but woke up the following episode and is currently trying to make amends. Following the final confrontation with Noah, Laurel and Belle are separated from the group after they are attacked by a pack of walkers, leading them onto a new adventure.

## Relationships

### Belle Woods

Belle is Laurel's best friend in the group. The two have had an on-and-off relationship until Season 2, where they become very close companions.

### Erin Raine

Initially, the two were very close, as they joined the group at the same time. However, after Laurel's actions led to Kaitlyn's suicide, Erin and Laurel's relationship became very strained, with Erin being hostile to Laurel on numerous occasions. Periodically, the two would have moments that were friendly, however, they never did get over their past.

### Kaitlyn Kern

After Laurel and Erin were banished, the two came across Kaitlyn, who was driven away by a pack of walkers. They rescued her and hid in Regalton. After Laurel revealed her motivations, she took Kaitlyn to the Delta, leading to Kaitlyn's escape and eventual killing of Laurel's boyfriend, Charlie. The two never made up after Laurel was redeemed, as Kaitlyn committed suicide just after Laurel returned to the prison, devastating Laurel.

### Lilly King

Presumably, the two had a stable sibling relationship pre-apocalypse, until the Delta was formed. Now, the two have a very hostile and passive aggressive relationship. After Laurel decides to betray the Delta, she asks Belle to kill Lilly. Belle's assassination attempt failed, unbeknownst to Laurel, and she doesn't seem to regret the decision.

As seen in the second season of Coda, Laurel is frightened by her sister, who leads their small scavenging and recruitment group with an iron fist.

### Ellie Casteele

In the first season, these two didn't interact very much until the end. They were very on-and-off due to Laurel's betrayal in the past. In the second season, this develops into a full fledged rivarly, leading to an argument outside in Regalton over Ellie's accidental poisoning of the crops, leading to Laurel having a seizure. After Laurel wakes up, she accidentally kicks Ellie in her pregnant stomach. The two eventually made up after this and continued on as friends.

### Daisy Page

Laurel was one of the first members of the group Daisy met. The two lived together in Regalton for a while, until they had a fight, leading to Daisy punching Laurel in the face. Daisy was eventually murdered by Noah before her and Laurel could rekindle their friendship.
