Laure

## Personality

Although Laure is gifted with intellect, she is quite irritable towards others that act solely on impulse and/or haphazardly, which causes her to be rather unfavorable towards those types, whom she would prefer to not associate with. She does hold a positive outlook on her job, and despite her occasional impatience, she is resolutely loyal to the monarchy, and is proud to serve the Lucii Kingdom. Laure most assuredly does not lack a sense of humor, however, and is more than content with engaging in banter and quips with both her friends and her sister. As a result of her intellect, however, she has a tendency to be pleonastic.

## Primary Elemental Abilities

Being a wolf with Glacies powers, Laure has access to ice-based abilities. There are a few that she commonly utilizes:

1. Scattershot
	* Laure releases ice projectiles that then split into multiple, smaller fragments, which can be shaped into small spikes if she so desires. It isn't necessarily life-threatening, but can inflict pain and occasionally minor wounds on foes that are struck by it, providing Laure a window to either to attack further, or to retreat from a more hairy situation. However, every time a burst is fired, her body will accumulate more heat; after a certain amount of times (varying, depending on the temperature—the colder the temperature, the more scattershot bursts she can release), she will be forced to suspend usage on this ability, otherwise she risks blacking out, which would obviously leave her incredibly vulnerable. In order to use the ability again, Laure must find a way to cool down, which may take quite the amount of time.
2. Eye of Arctics
	* Her more commonly used and favorite elemental ability, Laure can transform her eyes and the surrounding skin into thickened ice, increasing their durability and, only when the ambient temperature is very low, allowing Laure to detect heat signatures of creatures, albeit faintly, and it only provides the general direction of the creature rather than its exact location. One of her favorite combat tricks (and humorous prank to use upon her friends and sibling) is to activate this ability, and angling her eye correctly, reflecting the sunlight from her icy eye to the eyes of an opponent, temporarily blinding them. Although this won't harm Laure's own eyesight, her vision will be obscured in the process, making it extremely difficult to maintain the blinding effect on someone, regardless of it being used as a playful gesture or a combat tactic.

## Non-Elemental Abilities

* When danger is lurking about, the feathers on Laure's back will frill up, alerting her (and any allies) that there is danger. However, it does not clarify who or where the danger is originating from, nor does it clarify the exact degree to which something is dangerous. For this reason, it is more of a warning than anything, and she will have to decipher the rest herself.

## Strengths/Weaknesses

* Gifted with high intellect, Laure may be difficult to deceive or outwit, and more than likely, she is actually quite a few steps ahead of those who are not structuring their elements of deceit cautiously.
* Being a combat specialist in the Crownsguard, she is an experienced combatant, and has engaged a wide variety of foes over the years, even some that are larger in size.
* Her elemental abilities are weakened/inhibited in the presence of more extreme heat, rendering them both far less effective against wolves with heat-based abilities. For this reason, Ignis wolves are the individuals that she will struggle against the most.
* Because of how low the ambient temperature must be in order for *Eye of Arctics* to detect heat signatures in creatures, she can only do so in very cold areas such as tundras or taigas. The only exception would be during rainfall, which permits heat-sig detection.
* Due to her disdain for haphazard and nonsensical behavior, Laure has little to no tolerance for the types that act recklessly and on impulse, causing her to work very poorly with them and possibly giving others a poor impression.
