**Laura**, more formally known as the **Head Teacher**, is one of the secondary antagonists of *Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski*.

## Appearance

Laura is a female, faceless, human-shaped phantom with greyscale skin and hair, long legs, a short body and long hair in a ponytail and a fringe. She wears a matte black headset microphone, a light grey top with a white collar and a medium grey skirt and shoes, and she constantly floats a short distance off the ground. In many versions of the game, she also has a "cat" costume, which only consists of two simplistic cat ears and lines drawn on her face as whiskers, as well as a tail. This costume is not present in the latest version, however. In her evil form, she suddenly has wrinkled cream-colored skin, red hair, large white eyes, a large grin, white antlers, a red top, and a black skirt and shoes.

Laura almost exclusively communicates with Angell through walkie-talkie, the only exception being when she is in her evil form and is yelling at her.

According to MrDrNose, Laura is a "physical phantom" - a phantom that has a physical body, and is made up of flesh, bones and other human body parts.

## Personality

While she is being affected by the Curse, Laura is quite an aggressive character, as shown in multiple instances. Some examples include the way she talks, the punishments she gives out (especially the final punishments), her statement about the protection of the school decorations, and how she yells at Viktor after making Erie storm out due to his joke in *AEwVS: Christmas Curse*. She also will chase and catch Gingerbread-Men every time she gets to one and will brutally decapitate them without hesitance.

She is also known to actively mock Angell for being human. This includes calling her insults such as "fucking human", or making fun of humans' common weaknesses. As she is no longer a human, she seems to now have some kind of bias against humans.

When not being affected by the Curse, she is not as aggressive, and she does not enforce the school rules as aggressively. However, she will still get angry at anybody who gets in her way or offends her friends.

## Backstory

Laura was previously a human, but she died due to a brain aneurysm and was later resurrected through unknown means.  How she came to become the headmistress of Infinity School is unknown.

## Abilities

* **Levitation:** Laura constantly hovers a short distance above the ground.
* **Transformation:** Laura can change between her default form and her "evil" form at will.
* **Powerful Strength:** Laura is able to pick up Angell effortlessly and drag her long distances without stopping, as well as break down doors while doing so, despite being "the weakest character in the game" according to MrDrNose.
* **Teleportation:** Since Laura is a phantom, she is able to teleport. She does this either after putting Angell in the punishment room, when the Announcer calls her, or if she is somehow stuck somewhere. She finds it much harder to teleport with another person, which is why she carries Angell to the punishment room instead of teleporting her there.

## Behavior

Laura spawns near the corpus B entrance in the math level. When Angell first answers a question wrong, she will begin patrolling the school. Sometimes, in the Language Level, she will stop roaming and stand somewhere to take a break from her constant roaming patrol.

If she sees Angell breaking any of the school rules, she will stop what she's doing, tell her which rule she has broken, and start moving toward her until she catches her and takes her to the punishment room. Each time this happens, she will give Angell one warning, and lock her inside the punishment room for a set amount of time. If Angell has already been given four warnings and she is then caught breaking the rules again, Laura will give her the last punishment, which is always some form of torture, depending on which level she is in. During this, she will transform into her evil self and screech at them furiously. After this is done, the game will end, and the player will be taken to the game over screen.

If Laura sees Angell holding a blacklisted item, she will take her to the punishment room, confiscate all of her items and lock them in the level's safe.

This is the list of actions that are considered against the rules by the school:

* Running, eating or drinking in the corridor during the lesson time.
* Running, eating or drinking in a classroom at any time.
* Holding blacklisted items.
* Littering (dropping items on the ground (this rule was removed in 0.27)).
* Entering staff-only rooms (supply closets, secret areas, etc.)
* Leaving the punishment room while the punishment timer is still going down.
* Setting off alarm clocks (this rule is no longer used as alarm clocks were removed from the game).

When the Announcer broadcasts his message throughout the level, Laura will stay in place for a short time.

### Christmas Curse DLC

In the Christmas Curse DLC, she will behave much differently than she does in the original game. After the protagonist talks to Erie, they will then be told to talk to the Head Teacher. Once they open the punishment room door, Laura will appear in her Christmas costume with red glaring eyes telling them to stop, assuming she knows why they are there (thinking it's because they want to know where Mr. Mix hides his donuts). Once she realizes the protagonist needs something else, she will tell them what to do in decorating the school. She will also mention a minor problem: Erie is in possession of the toy box, and she will tell them to talk to her again and acquire it. After she finishes, her eyes will flare red again, and she will declare that she will protect the school decorations from the Gingerbread-Men.

After talking with her, she will roam around the school as usual. However, instead of watching the protagonist in case they violate school rules, she will ignore all of the school rules and instead focus on hunting down the gingerbread men, and immediately decapitate any she sees.

Once Viktor tells everybody to go to the Cafeteria, she will go there and wait at her chair. Once everybody is there, she will sit down while the ending occurs.
If Erie storms out crying due to Viktor's mean prank, she will stand up and call him out.

## Tips

* It's important to note that Laura doesn't have a delay between when she sees you breaking a rule and when she tells you off for it, meaning that if Laura sees you breaking a rule for even a split second she will immediately begin to chase you and take you to the punishment room. Because of this, breaking rules is very risky as Laura could turn the corner and catch you at any time.
* If Laura catches you holding a blacklisted item, before she reaches you, you should attempt to get rid of all the items in your inventory, either by dropping them on the ground or putting them in a trash bin. Not only will this prevent the items from getting locked in the safe, but Laura will also give you an icecream.

## Trivia

* Laura's Christmas Curse costume is styled to look like a Gardevoir from Pokémon.
* Laura did not write the school rules, and says the Accurser likely wrote them instead.
* Her sprite is taken from an Admerex advertisement, except her face is removed, and all colors are removed.
* The unused line "GOTCHA, BITCH" may be a reference to a memorable line from comedian Dave Chappelle.
* In older versions, if Laura caught Angell holding a secretive item, such as the rusty knife or one of Albert's pieces, she would instantly take them to the cauldron or the iron rod, all while in her normal form. This was removed in Alpha 0.18.
* MrDrNose once had a dream involving Laura dressed as a nun.
* Laura owns or has owned firearms before; her favorite firearms are a magnum and a shotgun. She also likes rifles but does not have any experience with them.
* Laura's favorite method of execution is shooting her enemy in the forehead while looking into their eyes.
* There is 2 duplicates of laura's old "BOLING IN THE CAULDRON" Voiceline Prior to 0.0.1
