## Biography

### Childhood

**Cynthia Myers** was the third of four children born to Donald and Edith Myers. She was born in 1961. When she was only two, her six-year-old brother Michael brutally murdered their teenage sister Judith with a butcher knife on Halloween. He was sent away following the incident. The next year in 1964, at the age of 3, her final sibling, Beau, was born. On January 3, 1965, her parents were killed in an automobile accident and Cynthia went into the foster care system where she was immediately adopted by  Morgan and Pamela Strode, who changed her name to Laurie. The Governor of Illinois kept her records sealed so that no one would further connect Laurie Strode with her psychotic older brother. In 1969, at the age of 8, she asked to be taken to visit Michael at Smith's Grove Sanitarium. Laurie eventually forgot about her birth family and the visit she made to her brother.

### October 31st, 1978

By 1978, Laurie was a kind-hearted yet introverted girl of seventeen who attended Haddonfield High School with her friends Annie Brackett and Lynda Van Der Klok. Laurie was shy and bookish and did not share her friends' overt personalities. She always claimed that her brainy ways scared boys away, which accounted for her sparse dating history.
On October 31, her adoptive father Morgan Strode, owner of Strode Realty, asked Laurie to drop off a set of keys to the old Myers house, which had been on the market for quite some time. Laurie had no idea that this was, in fact, the house she was born in.
During literature class, Laurie glimpsed a man staring at her across the street. After school, Laurie and her friends were walking home when she spied the same strange shape peering at them from around a corner. Annie went to investigate but found nothing. She teased Laurie, saying that she "scared another one away". At home, she thought she saw the samestrange, masked man in her neighbor's backyard behind a clothesline.

After taking a shower, Laurie was visited by a frantic Lynda, who claimed that someone had been following her. Laurie worriedly assumed that Lynda's stalker was the same man she had been seeing, and became increasingly paranoid. Later that day, she went out with Annie and learned that someone had broken into Nichol's Hardware Store and had stolen a Halloween mask, a rope, and a couple of knives. As Annie and she drove around town, Laurie expressed an interest in going out with a boy named Bennett Tramer. Annie decided to take matters into her own hands and surreptitiously contacted Ben without Laurie's approval. Laurie was deeply embarrassed when she heard the news and begged Annie to call him back and break it off.
That evening, Laurie went to the Doyle residence to babysit young Tommy Doyle. She brought along a jack-o'-lantern and entertained Tommy by reading him some of his comic books and watching scary movies. As the evening wore on, Annie came over to the house with her own charge, Lindsey Wallace, in tow. She asked Laurie to keep an eye on Lindsey for the next few hours so she could go out with her boyfriend Paul Freedman. Laurie did not like the idea but agreed after Annie told her she would cancel her pending date with Ben Tramer.

What Laurie was unaware of at the time was that her psychotic brother Michael Myers had broken out of the mental institution and had returned to Haddonfield to kill again. It was him that Laurie had seen earlier at school, on the sidewalk, and in her neighbor's backyard. While Laurie was watching over Tommy, Michael was killing her friends one at a time, including, Annie, Lynda and Lynda's boyfriend Bob Simms.

Laurie went over to the Wallace residence to check on Annie, but instead found the bodies of Annie, Lynda, and Bob strategically placed in key positions throughout the house. Michael emerged and attacked Laurie, slicing her arm with his knife. This caused Laurie to fall over the second-floor landing, and she fell down the stairs, cracking her ankle in the process. Screaming in horror, Laurie limped back to the Doyle house and called out to the children to let her inside. Tommy finally opened the door and Laurie quickly entered the house, locking the door behind her. Michael got in through the window and attacked Laurie again. She kept him at bay by stabbing him in the neck with a knitting needle then ran upstairs. Michael followed her up the stairs, cornered her in a bedroom closet and tried stabbing at her with his knife. Laurie straightened out the end of a clothes hanger and jabbed Michael in the eye, forcing him to relinquish his blade. Laurie picked it up and stabbed Michael in the stomach. He slumped to the floor and Laurie believed he was dead. Tearfully, she exited the closet and issued instructions to the children to leave the house. Moments later, however, Michael rose and attacked Laurie again. He began strangling her and Laurie managed to pull his mask away, seeing his face for the first time. At this moment, Michael's former psychiatrist Doctor Samuel Loomis burst into the house and fired a bullet into Michael's body. He followed with five more shots, which drove Michael through the bedroom window, out over the balcony and down onto the ground. When Loomis looked over the balcony, however, to check on Michael's body, he was gone. A shocked Laurie meekly stated, "Was that the Boogeyman?," to which Loomis replied, "As a matter of fact... it was. Laurie was taken to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, but she was in too much of a state of shock to provide the EMT's or hospital staff with any pertinent information regarding her assailant. A young ambulance driver named Jimmy took a liking to Laurie and promised to watch over her as she recuperated. Jimmy told Laurie the name of the man who had been trying to kill her.

Laurie was terrified about being put to sleep out of fear that the "Boogeyman" would get her. The chief of medicine Frederick Mixter dismissed her concerns and kept Laurie heavily sedated. After awakening, Laurie was alarmed to learn that the man who had pursued her was, in fact, Michael Myers and worried when head nurse Virginia Alves told her that her parents could not be contacted. Later, Laurie learned from Jimmy that Michael had supposedly died in a car accident, although the victim in question was, in fact, Laurie's crush Bennett Tramer. Laurie panicked and tried to escape, causing the staff to sedate her once again. While unconscious, Laurie had a dream wherein she saw images of her brother at a young age and she recalled her mother telling her that she was actually adopted. Waking from this dream, Laurie began to slowly grasp her connection to Michael Myers, though she had yet to realize that he was, in fact, her brother.
Michael meanwhile, having survived his initial encounter with Dr. Loomis, had tracked Laurie to the hospital and sought to finish her off. One by one, he cut his way through each member of the attending hospital staff until nothing stood between Laurie and himself. When Laurie realized that Michael was still hunting her, she left her hospital room and began shambling down the empty corridors. Michael eventually discovered her and gave chase, but Laurie managed to escape by climbing through a window in a storeroom. She then hid in an unlocked car that happened to belong to Jimmy, who joined her shortly. He told her that they were going to get away but soon passed out due to a concussion he had suffered earlier, with his head on the horn. Laurie tried to start the car but was unsuccessful and she was forced to get out. She then saw Dr. Samuel Loomis, his assistant Marion Chambers and Marshall Terrence Gummell enter the front doors of the hospital. Laurie tried to call out to them, but her voice was too hoarse. Michael appeared before her, and killed Jimmy in the car by ripping his head off. He approached Laurie, but she managed to get back inside the hospital.

### Meeting The Eighth Doctor

Dr. Samuel Loomis pushed Laurie behind him and temporarily halted Michael by firing several more shots into his chest. This only slowed Michael down by a matter of seconds, however, and he quickly got back up and began chasing them. However, a strange whirring sound distracted Michael long enough for Laurie to stab him in the neck with a scalpel. Millie Malencia and the Eighth Doctor arrived in Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween Night, 1978. The TARDIS arrived in front of a hospital, the Haddonfield Hospital. The Eighth Doctor and Millie Malencia entered, and to their shock found the bodies of Jimmy, Marshall Terrence Gummell, Virginia Alves, Frederick Mixter, Jill Franco, Budd Scarlotti, Bernard Garrett, Janet Marshall, and Karen Bailey. The Eighth Doctor told Millie Malencia to run, and she did, screaming "Bloody Murder!" alerting Marion Chambers who was using a radio to call the police. Millie took shelter with Marion and sat in the car with her. By now, Samuel Loomis and Laurie took shelter inside one of the empty examination rooms. After the doctor handed Laurie a gun and locked the door, Michael broke through. Samuel Loomis tried to fire a round at him, but his gun was empty. Michael grabbed him and critically injured Loomis. Laurie fired the gun, shooting both of Michael's eyes. Though blinded, Michael continued to slash away at the air, hoping to connect with Laurie. The bleeding Dr. Loomis and Laurie then began releasing the valves on several canisters of ether. As Laurie vacated the room, Loomis ignited the ether, causing a massive explosion, attracting Marion Chambers there. Millie ran out of the car and into the hospital after her. Laurie turned around to see a burning Michael still trying to walk towards her, but he finally fell down and was assumed dead. The Eighth Doctor, who was partially injured, helped Laurie get outside, and Laurie was then taken into an ambulance. (TV: Halloween)

### After The Doctor

Following the traumatic experience of 1978, Laurie married Alexander Lloyd and in 1980 had a daughter with him named Jamie Lloyd. Laurie was also extremely scared for the safety of Jamie, so put her into foster care---if Michael Myers is still alive and hunting Laurie, he may hurt Jamie to get to her. In 1981, she had another child named Karen whom she intentionally protected, hidden in the sixth basement of Laurie Strode's Malibu Beach House. Laurie faked her own death, relocated to California and changed her name to Keri Tate. However, Michael Myers still found Jamie, but Loomis had succeeded twice in stopping Michael from killing her. The first time, helping gun down Michael, then asking Jamie to kick him down a mineshaft. Michael made it out as they dropped fireworks inside. The second time, Michael was beaten with a wooden plank and "supposedly" drowned in a river. This was on October 31st, 1988, and October 31st, 1989.

In 1995, much later, a fifteen year old Jamie Lloyd was supposedly raped by Robyn McAdam and became pregnant with Steven Lloyd-McAdam. Soon after childbirth, she put Steven with Loomis before running into a barn. Michael later killed her, with Loomis finding her body impaled on a piece of farming equipment which had activated, mulching out her insides. Loomis went to a telephone book to call 9-1-1, but when they got there, the barn had already lit on fire.

After this, he was captured by the Cult of Thorne and kept hostage. Luckily, she had given Steven back to Laurie (who was visiting) and her cousin Carah Shrood. After a debate with Michael Myers, Loomis handed Steven over, but tricked him. Danny Shrood (Carah's son) jumped on Michael through a hole in the ceiling and breaking his spine. Allowing Loomis to douse Michael in gasoline, toxic waste, and acid. Carah, Laurie, Danny and Steven all ran out as Loomis beat Michael with a pipe, and finally throwing in a match.
Apparently on October 31, 1998, Michael Myers attacked Laurie Strode again. This time he was decapitated. However, when he had the time, Michael Myers crushed the voice box of a surgeon named Ronnie Pupper and swapped clothes, tricking Laurie into killing him. However, the police understood and told her to stay in California. She did, staying a quiet life living with her daughter, now Karen Nelson. Michael Myers was one hundred percent killed in 2002 by Samuel Loomis, and Laurie was mostly at peace.

### The Fifteenth Doctor

The Fifteenth Doctor returned to Laurie Strode, but Laurie did not believe she was the same person as the man she met in 1978. After an altercation, the Fifteenth Doctor gained her trust by reciting the adventure she had had with Loomis and the Eighth Doctor word for word. They then stopped the Master from taking over the Earth using brainwashed children, before two of these children joined them in the TARDIS (TV: The Timeless Children)

Laurie assisted in the destruction of the Haureyn Temple (TV: Trust Me On This!)

### Exit

After Jed defeated the Sontarans, Laurie admitted to the Doctor that she didn't know if she would be able to keep up anymore, and left so as not to slow the Doctor down, but gave the Doctor her email address incase he needed her help. Laurie then reunited with her daughters Karen and Jamie, and her grandchildren Alison and Steven for a dinner, and began telling them the stories of the Doctor. (TV: The Sontaran Invasion)

## Personality

Initially, Laurie is a weak girl who is incredibly scared of Michael Myers, but very capable of defending herself and the kids she was babysitting. While in the hospital, she's very dazed and even less able of defending herself, with her legs partially broken. However, when she was older, Laurie was a brave and strong woman, her house barricaded with barbed-wire electric fences, and she is skilled with guns and knives. She's still paranoid of Michael Myers, but ready to kill him off at her first chance. She is also very skeptical of most things, although very intelligent. However, after over a year of TARDIS travels, Laurie grows completely exhausted and decides to leave.
