## History

### Early Life

Laura Reynolds was born to Dodola, goddess of Rain and Daniel Reynolds, a mortal man in Kazan, Russia on June 1, 2004. Daniel Reynolds was the owner of a not-so-popular bar in Kazan Only a few regulars came by so he was surprised when a beautiful woman came in, nearly crying her heart out, and ordered the strongest liquor he had. He listened as she talked about her cold husband and her overprotective mother but stopped serving when she seemed too drunk. She told him she had nowhere to go, not wanting to go to her husband's home or to her mother's, so he told her she could stay upstairs in his apartment. The night ended in a drunk's mistake and Daniel woke up to see a single flower, which he later found out to being a hydrangea, and no sign of the gorgeous woman he had shared a bed with. About one year later a basket full of blankets and a small baby girl inside. He didn't need a note to know she was the product of that drunk night and took her in, naming her Laura

### Childhood

She grew up a restless child, running around town and making trouble whereas she went. Everyone thought she was a strange girl, not talking much despite her trouble making. Truth is, she didn't need it, her pretty eyes got her out of any trouble she got herself into. Laura always loved playing in the rain and splashing in the puddles, feeling a sense of comfort whenever it rained. When she turned 10 there was a gift on her desk when she woke up. It was a necklace with a rain drop charm and she loved it. There was no note but her father smiles wistfully and said it was probably from her mom. She wore it on all special occasions, the charm was really pretty, and seem to change with the weather. Laura never thought about why, she just thought it was a pretty hefty trick and paid no mind.

### First Monster Attack

She had one great friend, Marvin, who was always by her side. He had a weird way of walking that made most people judge him and tease him but Laura liked him. At a school party, the cutest guy in school asked her to be his date. She bought the prettiest dress and matched it with her always present necklace. The night couldn't have been more perfect but when they were going back to drop her off a weird form appeared in the middle of the road. The car swerved the other way to avoid it and flipped over, nearly knocking her out. Josh, the guy, was bleeding and wasn't moving. She screamed and screamed for help but something big jumped on top of the car and nearly tore off the door. She freed herself of the seat belt and jumped over Josh, trying to get away through the other door.

She got out and saw what looked like a huge cross between a bear and a hound looking at her with beady hungry eyes. She screamed and ran away, stumbling in her heels and falling. Her crown fell off her head and she struggled to get it back but the thing was coming closer. She closed her eyes, knowing her death was close but something stopped the monster. She opened her eyes to see Marvin hitting the thing over the head with a large stick. She took her necklace in her hands and it turned into a round blade, like Xena's. Marvin was struggling with the black thing so L threw the crown/blade at the dog-bear and it cut it's eye (she had a nice aim from PE). It moaned in pain and started running around, confused by the sudden blindness. Marvin took that moment to take Laura and her blade and get the hell away from it.

### Coming to Camp

When they got home, Marvin explained it all to Lara. How she was a demigod and he a satyr her mother had sent there to take care of her, the necklace she wore was a protection agai.nst monsters but it couldn't last forever. It expired when she turned 14 so she was now in danger and had to go to Camp Olympia She said good bye to her dad, telling him she'd visit when she could, and left with Marvin to Camp. It was a long journey and she struggled to learn English when finally in The US, but the journey went on, she slowly became fluent in the Language. She was finally able to make it to camp and was claimed by her mother

## Personality

Laura is known to be an emotional person. When she feels a feeling, she feels it all at once. She's a girl with years of spunk and sass under her belt. She's a creative young teen who loves music and art. At times, Laura is polite and gentle to those she loves. She can be kind and chill, sorta like a calm cloudy day, but other times, she's temperamental and sarcastic. At other times, she's honest and compassionate. Being the daughter of Dodola, Laura is a literal force of nature. Flight-obsessed but not flighty, she tackles all situations with an aggressive resolve, barreling headfirst like a tornado torpedo and hardly ever missing. Whether it involves punching, analyzing, talking someone down during a difficult time, or punching some more, she swoops in to save the day with godly determination and purpose. In fact, she could even be described as a little impulsive. Abrasive like a strong wind, she’s tragically prone to arguments and confrontations with those who doubt her or otherwise make others feel less than, and she’s not about to be complicit in that nonsense, making her the epitome of “do no harm, take no shit”. Due to her boldness and talent in stopping treats large or small, she leans towards cocky at times, and is definitely classified as an overachiever by her peers, flying like she’s got something to prove. And perhaps, once upon a time, Laura did. Being a nervous girl from a ghost city transplanted to the heart of camp Olympia itself, her unique blend of origin story can make her feel distinctly “alien” when surrounded by more well known myths. Upon coming to the family, this instilled a certain loneliness within her. But it’s rarer than golden wool to find her wallowing, because she knows those days are over with. Of course, Laura has never truly forgotten her past. As an abuse victim, she’s learned effective ways to keep herself calm and collected around the people that matter, and despite her bias for flying, is pretty grounded when she needs to be. She's stellar at comforting others, and many will seek her out for this very purpose. This effectively buries whatever broad strokes “bad” reputation her no-nonsense attitude and otherwise intimidating drive might’ve left behind. Overall, she believes in her heart that the amount of goodness she and her team put out into the world will always surpass the bad things that have happened to herself and others like her. As with all the best storybook heroes, Laura is assured to her core, and despite her troubled first chapters, she is adamant on perceiving the inherent righteousness in all others. As far as she’s concerned, she’s already dealt with the maximum amount of vice and cruelty people have to offer: whatever’s left, it can only be good. After all, you can’t keep someone like Laura down for long. She belongs in the sky. Laura is an adventurous, free-spirited, and fearless mermaid, who wants to take charge of her own dreams of living on land. She is a determined, feisty dreamer. She loves the thrill of adventure and wants to see and experience new things. Laura is far from weak and helpless, she often has a "I can do this by myself" attitude. She doesn't know how to ask for or accept help when she needs it. Laura can be naive at times because she was kept away from having a real life as a child. She is a pure hopeless romantic. She dreams of finding her true love even though she's terrible at romance. Over all, Laura is truly a storm of a person
