But during times of great stress, she starts to break down to her past self: angry, destructive, and controlling.
• Backstory: Laura Zbigniew was born in Virginia to a poor family, where "love" came in the form of the belt and fist. Her father was a man who drowned his frustrations and pain with vices; alcoholism was his greatest demon. From as young as she could remember, Laura would stare up at the ceiling, listening to her mother cry herself to sleep, and where her mother's suffering ended, Laura's started. Her father would barge into the bedroom, filled with fury from drink and stress, and would point his wrath at Laura and her siblings. This happened frequently, and Laura got used to the pain, but the stench of sweat and alcohol always made her stomach churn. Naturally, her abuse reflected onto her character. Skittish, reclusive, and quick to anger. At school, she drifted from class to class just to sleep at her desk. At night, she'd avoid home and get into trouble, smoke, and sit under an overpass, contemplating her life. Most avoided her as her anger issues flared often and made her abrasive, and she believed she was destined to be a friendless loner. That was until she met a classmate, Kaila, a demi-human wolf girl. Kaila was everything Laura wasn't: loved, confident, and bright. Yet, there she was, standing before Laura one night under the overpass. An unlikely friendship began, and the two would be each others accomplices and confidants during the night as they would alternate between vandalism and quiet conversations. Both girls avoided home, sharing the same suffocating feeling, but with different circumstances. One made of pain, the other born of love. One night, they broke into a building, intending on tagging the place, but they were spotted by a police officer who immediately started to chase them. Both of them ran but Laura was caught, letting Kaila get away. That was the last time she ever saw Kaila. As for the police officer, Bobby Moss, he didn't cuff Laura. Rather, he showed concern for her, a young girl going down a dark path. Laura didn't know why she did, but she spilled everything. Her life. Her situation. Her escape that came in the form of spray paint and broken windows. Bobby took it upon himself to bring order to the chaos of her life, and from that night on, he became her mentor and the father she never had. Laura was on the right path now, and her life started to improve, step by step. Her family separated from her father, she started to participate in school, and she learned how to manage her anger. Following Bobby's footsteps, Laura entered into the Virginia State Police, and during that time, hate for non-humans began to rise. She witnessed terrible cases of prejudice and violence, and worked to resolve disputes between humans and non-humans up until their expulsion in 2022. The war with the S.C. put a bad taste in Laura's mouth, as she saw Kaila in every non-human and hoped for the war's end. Now, Laura has been forced, again, into circumstances out of her control. Bobby's dead. Washington burns. Chaos has been brought to order. This time, she won't hide; there's no where to run.
