## Lore

Lauren was born in 🇮🇪Ireland🇮🇪 17 years prior to the games events. We know little of her life there, but she did pick up Irish which she occasionally speaks throughout the game.

Lauren's primary troubles come from the loss of her sister Kayla. It is evident that they were very close, as Lauren continues to mourn her death, even though it occurred seven years ago, stating that her statue in the memorial garden gives her the power to do extraordinary things.

Lauren is the owner of the Mystic Enclave, a place where powerful magic users can go to get free use of their services or to hone their abilities. The Indolent Mind Stoppers are a powerful entity that Lauren also has control over, serving as guardians for both her, and the enclave to ward off any unwanted intruders.

Unfortunately, Lauren has a bad history with a large portion of the Mystic Enclave's guests, many of which were banned for their conduct. One of these bans was, humorously enough, Olivia Aiche, Grand Guard of Witchopolis. We learn that the cause of her ban was due to her selling illegal narcotics and planting a bomb on Boundary Road.

Kayla Woods mentions that she never spoke much with Lauren, but she does mention that whenever things start to go south, she jumps in at the end with powerful magic.

## Appearance

Lauren has a terrible taste in fashion. She wears the goofiest possible hat one could don as well as bright purple "arcane" shoes. She has a cloak with various astrological symbols on it and wears dark navy trousers. She's also ginger.

## Personality

From the early moments in the game, Lauren is somewhat pensive and thoughtful, with her sisters often lamenting over her being stuck in the past in regards to their deceased sibling, Kayla. In truth, Lauren is extraordinarily zany, often using modern internet euphemisms such as "Lol" and "IN THE DESERT I WAIT IN THE RUINS I BURN - METAL IS WATER - STONE IS WAX - FLESH IS SMOKE - ENTER ME AND BE NO LONGER."

Lauren is seen to have a sense of solitude, preferring to speak of esoteric matters on the Sector Langley dock than return to the tower.

## Gameplay

Lauren has a very defined niche, that being magic damage and costly MP skills. She has the greatest magic potential out of the whole cast, with powerful abilities such as Crack the Sky or Gathering Flames right off the bat. Lauren is, however, physically frail, meaning she will die to most physical attacks before the others would. Lauren makes up for her physical frailty through high magic defence and an innate +25% magic evasion.

During Chapter 4, Lauren gets access to the Meniscate's Blessing, a powerful armour piece that gives her a heavy boost to many stats.

## Trivia

* Lauren's first two tarot cards, the fool and the magician, do not have a space after the hyphen in the skill name whereas the rest of the tarot's do.
* Olivia is bisexual.
