Laurel Ryan

Background
Laurel’s life started the moment she died. A bit of a contradiction but all true in the same sense. When her body was struck by the car, her life had been snuffed out like a candle’s light. She didn’t remember the bite, the blood gift or the days of pain where her body made the change. All she remembers is waking up in the morgue, tag attached to her foot. Jane Doe. A name so fitting to how she felt. Ever since that eventful moment, Laurel has never been the same. She hears constant voices in her head, sees visions of things that don’t make sense. All Laurel wants is to find the being that put this curse upon her and return to her normal life. Laurel fights a constant battle with herself everyday, trying to stay good when the darkness is beginning to overcome her more and more, with each passing day. But sometimes it’s hard to fight her baser needs off. Voices call to her, coo, urge, persuade for her to give in. Laurel resists as much as she can but sometimes the hunger gets too far and Laurel blacks out, waking up after a binge of hunger and bodies piled up around her. It’s what lead her on the search for the monster that created her, falling trails into a town called Emerald Cove. She wants to find answers and see if she can maybe get her life back because, quite frankly, she’s getting tired of waking up after monster binges with no one to answer to but herself.

Personality
Laurel is quiet and withdrawn, because she still doesn’t know how to react to what has happened to her; she doesn’t know who to ask or where even to start on the path to knowing about her cursed state. She spends a lot of her time on the outskirts of town or just watching the people around town, and doesn’t talk to many people. She tries not to get too close to people, never knowing when she’ll snap on them and lose control of herself, leaving herself open to attack them.
