Laura Canciella

Laura is one of the main characters of the Sergioverse and a member of the Newsboy Legion.

## Background

Laura is the youngest of the Canciella family, who since many years ago has been dedicated to all sorts of fine arts such as literature, art, music, etc.

Since she was very young, Laura has been known for being a famous idol in the capital city of Polaria (Located at the north of the Mushroom Land). Her music somehow had magical effects, making her able to mesmerize anyone with her melodious singing voice.

During her gigs, she has been in numerous occasions in Comet City, which lead to meet Marta and the two became very good friends, increasing the good chemistry between both locations.

As of today, Laura has dropped her singing career due to how it drained her both physically and emotionally and now composes her own music, ranging from pop, techno, electro swing and even "high quality video game rips". Though the latter is mostly when she's utterly bored, which happens sometimes due to how much her career has drained her.

She has had to deal with Alfonso as well, getting herself captured like Marta one time. However, it was Jorge who saved her then. Jorge has admitted his love to Laura but she didn't do it yet, which causes her to get greatly embarrased when Jorge acts lovey-dovey with her.

After that, she became a member of the Newsboy Legion.

## Appearence

Laura is a female around her 20s with a slightly tanned skin. Her eyes are purple and her hair is long and blond. Her everyday outfit consists of:

* A pink sweater
* Black tracksuit pants with dark teal vertical lines
* Pink sneakers
* Her pink headphones

She also has other outfits depending on the occasion.

## Powers and abilities

Laura's main talent is her music. Her voice has strange properties and people can get mesmerized by hearing it. This also allows Laura to weaponize her own voice, creating powerful sound blasts.

She also especializes on wielding whips and other kinds of flailing weapons.

## Personality

Laura loved being an idol year ago, but now, she has been kind of drained emotionally, to the point she looks completely deadpan and stoic when compared to her friend Marta.

Laura is the kind of person that very rarely speaks and she sometimes can get too snarky in her words, being fully aware of her utterances.

Ever since retirement, she has started a love for internet culture such as memes and started a YouTube career to show off her compositions.

She's in a bit of a relationship with Jorge, but she didn't admit it yet. This causes her to act a bit tsundere towards him.

Kotone inherits Laura's stoic behavior and often isolates herself with her headphones and stays quiet, making her look like she's not paying attention to conversations, but, on the contrary, she's a good listener. After being saved from the Zodiac Shadow of Virgo, she becomes a member of the Basement Dwellers with her own Persona.

Her Persona is Idun, Norse goddess of apples, youth, spring and rejuvenation. It specializes in Wind skills, as well as access to healing and Hama-type skills (Mainly Hama and Mahama). It resists Wind but is weak to Ice.

Kotone has a Social Link with the Protagonist representing the Justice Arcana. After maxing out her Social Link, Kotone will have a second awakening, causing Idun to be reborn into Diana, the Roman counterpart of Artemis. Diana gains the ability to block Wind-type skills.
