## Background

Older sister to Marcus Bennett and the eldest daughter of Lelah and Sam, the original Laura Bennett died tragically in a car crash when she was 12. Terrified at the prospect of losing her only daughter, Lelah told everyone, including Marcus and her husband, that Laura had been kidnapped.

Lelah found out about Synchroneity Tech through her scientific connections, who claimed that they could bring back those that had passed, for a price. Lelah convinced her family to move to Kollok, claiming that she felt that living in L.A. was too unsafe after what happened to Laura.

During her time at Synchroneity, Lelah spent her time working on their cloning program to Laura back. Using Marcus's DNA, they created a genetic clone of his 10 year old body. Though it's never specified, it's assumed that Lelah and Synchroneity contracted a Broker in order to steal an Ego of a 17-year old Laura Bennett from another universe.

### **Prime A**

For 8 years, Laura was stuck underneath Synchroneity, living with herself and a woman that wasn't really her mother. After the explosion at Synchroneity, Laura finally escaped the compound she was confined to, and revealed to Marcus and her father that she was alive. Marcus, wanting to bring things back to a semblance of normal to be able to cope with it all, changed all of their memories to make it seem like Laura never left, and that they'd been living together this whole time. Laura realized this, and feeling betrayed, ran off into the woods. It's unknown what the fate of Laura in Prime A might be, but it's assumed that she most likely perished in the flame and destruction.

### **Prime B**

During the interim between the Kollok Radar saving Kollok and Portland and the tragedy at Crater Lake, Laura is hired at the park, most likely as a part time Ranger. In this time, she is living with Lelah Bennett in a motel. Laura is invited by Tibby Devin to a game of Teenagers in Outer Space after they meet in the park. Tibby says to Billy that he invited her because of the memories given to them by Marcus, after seeing that she really had nowhere to turn.

Laura becomes a member of the Kollok Radar as the group gets closer throughout the summer.

During the events at the beginning of season 2, Laura grapples with her place and identity. She wants to believe she can be successful in Kollok, but such things are proving difficult. Laura takes care of Cheese while he's in the jar, and slowly realizes that she wants to take care of him more than he need her. She feels inadequate for not having powers, and is fighting with the fact that none of this was supposed to happen to her.

Laura moves in with Mallory at some point before Episode 36, "Lullaby".

While traveling through time, Laura blames herself for leaving Em behind in 1940 after trying to save Cheese.

While spending time in the House of Night and Day, Truth reveals to Laura that she is "The Devil", though it is not entirely clarified.

While under the effect of Tilly, Laura is chosen as her Herald, and is given telekinetic abilities. As she begins to break free, she realizes that she's killed people, and hurt her friends. After Laura kills Tilly, it is unknown whether or not she still retained her powers, as Isaac was around her when she attempted to use them.

## Personality

Laura is whip-smart and often bright compared to the others in the Kollok Radar, though she harbors a deep resentment of those around her for the universe she lost. She is a profoundly lonely character, as she often feels left out on the things afforded by the others in the Radar. Powers, an identity of their own, a life that was always there. Laura is deeply empathetic character, often using her own experiences to coach other passengers through things they don't understand, or can't fathom.
