Laramie “Laurel” Gomez

## Backstory

### Childhood (Child abuse warning!!)

“Laurel” was born on Cinco de Mayo in 1973, she lived her first thirteen years in La Mirada, LA, during those years her parents often dropped her off at her grandma’s house, leaving Laurel alone in the care of her abusive grandmother. Often, her grandma would tell her about he she would look better in dresses and makeup (hence which is why she wears makeup and a dress today.) By the time she turned 13, she had a birthday party, she invited her classmates yet was forced to invite her grandma, after blowing out candles and giggling with her friends, her grandma pulled her aside and yelled at her for not wearing all the makeup and one of the dresses she gave Laurel, her parents just down the hall and near the corner heard this and pushed Laurel’s grandma away and decided to kick her out and cut contact with her grandma and decided to move to Spooky Town.

### Joining the cult.

After moving to Spooky Town and growing up with her two younger sisters, her sibling, Sunny asked if they could go to the store, Laurel agreed and got in the car with her sister and started driving, during the drive, she was a little bit on edge and tense about….well everything. When Sunny asked what was wrong, she got scared and swerved the car suddenly into a ditch, causing a major car crash, luckily Laurel survived this yet was unsure if Sunny was alive, she checked her pulse and she was still alive just unconscious. Laurel being more out of her mind, reassured herself that she’ll be back and ran off back home, during her walk back home it became more dark and got a bit scared and found a small house on the hill, she soon walked inside, and well you should know what had happened next. She joined the cult. After a few days, she came back home looking a bit different, longer, more redder hair and slightly wider eyes, her family thought nothing of this and thought it was just the sun and her anxiety catching up to her. Laurel announced at dinner that Sunny died in the car crash and tried to get help but there was nobody there, her family was devasted at the news, however Laurel only cared about the warm plate of food in front of her, little did she know that Sunny would come back home in a about a year.

### Meeting Bob Velseb

A few years later around the early 90s she started her career as a band teacher in a middle school, in 1994, she went on a walk one day and since she had her wallet on her, she decided to have a small snack at the restaurant closest to her, and luckily for her, the infamous Boys n’ Grills was open and all ready open just for her. She walked inside and looked inside before laying her eyes on the employee, Bob Velseb standing at the front counter waiting for the next customer, she smiled and walked towards him ready to make her move on him, they soon fell in love and decided to date each other.

### Death and marriage

A few months later the middle school that Laurel was working at shut down which gave Laurel a chance to work at Boys n’ Grills to get closer to Bob. after a few years of dating, the restaurant shut down and Bob got placed in prison for cannibalism, Laurel being a bit pissy at this and started working at a local gas station just for money. At the start of 2013, she heard that Bob got out of prison, she was extremely giddy and happy about this and drove to Bob’s house immediately to stay with him until Halloween, which soon labeled her as missing due to cutting contact with most of her family and friends. Bob and Laurel were so happy together until October 31st 2013. Laurel was waiting for Bob to come home anxiously while having snacks and candy on the table and two engagement rings, one was black for Bob and the other was rose gold for herself. She was watching TV before the news came on, announcing that Bob Velseb was officially dead, Laurel was extremely devastated by this fact and immediately got pushed into a state of depression and grief, she often stayed and slept in Bob’s home, in his bed as to deny the fact that he was dead, she later decided to host a funeral for Bob, but her frenemy, Esme jumped into the situation and thought about this, knowing that no one would actually come to the funeral so she changed it into a wedding and got married to Laurel (of course they didn’t actually do any actual romantic activities due to Laurel being incapable of loving anyone other than Bob.)

### Death

After a month or two of being married, Laurel had enough and decided to kill herself by jumping off in a river, thinking that she would be happier and be happily in the afterlife with Bob, and so she did. Laurel died and got to see Bob again and remain happy with him. After this, Laurel’s “wife”, Esme was devastated and shocked by this, no one knows what happened to Esme other than she took ownership of Laurel’s home just for her.
