History: Loralie and her twin sister Jean were born to Darren and Veronica Norwich in Michigan, Loralie is the older twin by 15 minutes. Darren was deeply in love with his wife but Veronica was an alcoholic and chain smoker who'd fallen into a deep spell of depression after giving birth and didn't step up for the girls at all, so Darren had to, raising them practically on his own for three years until Veronica suddenly left them and moved far away. Jean and Loralie hadn't been planned. Darren had to raise them all on his own and never remarried, although he had a few relationships. When the girls were six, the family moved to Ouray where Darren could receive some extra support from an old friend of his. Loralie and Jean grew up very close and even as their paths split in their teenage years they still kept on very good terms and in close contact. When she was twelve, Loralie met Liam and Jonah and they became quick friends, all sharing a rebellious spirit. At 14, Marvyn joined the group, and though he was a little hesitant and nervous, Loralie took him under her wing instinctively. At 16, they formed a band: the Quiet-Boy Killers, in which Loralie played the guitar. The band grew in popularity– at least, as much as it could in Ouray– and Loralie very much enjoys doing shows. After a gig, she likes to wind down at the bar her sister owns and just mingle with the available, looking for someone to finally catch her interest.

In a relationship: Loralie is very protective of her partner and will destroy absolutely anyone who harms them. She has no problem with public displays of affection and will give her partner the same amount of love and attention wherever they are. She's very understanding, despite being quite intimidating, and will talk her partner through what they both want in the relationship so they can understand each other better and compromise. Privately, she's happy to do whatever with her partner, showering them in affection and love.

Sexually: sexually, Loralie is a top. She is dominant in the bedroom and has a wide range of what she's happy to do, she just wants to make sure her partner is comfortable. Loralie is typically quite rough but will be gentle if required to, she's happy to engage in whatever desires her partner has as long as they're safe and not too outlandish, though she's always up for something risky.

Other: Loralie is omnisexual, meaning she is attracted to all genders but has a preference for her own (female). She will engage romantically with people of any gender. Loralie does not hide the fact that she is homosexual and regularly stands up for gay rights and makes her views on transphobes and homophobes very clear.
