Character Summery[]
The longing for adventures is genetically coded in humans, a kind of inherited wiring that equates adventures with benefits. In some sense, adventure is a human instinct. Laura was born into a family filled with adventurous genes. Laura's father was a legendary treasure hunter. To her, the legendary figure of the old man lives on in her memories, notes, bonfires, and the fragrance of barley tea. And her own legend unfolds at sea, and nowhere else.
Laura grew up listening to stories of Atlan as her bedtime stories. The fantastical depictions had her questioning if they were firsthand accounts from her old man or secondhand tales. But deep down, she always hoped they were true. The ocean covers 70% of the planet, and it would be quite boring if it didn't conceal some magnificent lost civilizations.

Fortunate enough after Neso rescued Marco, she mistakenly noticed him as part of Morden's men and decided to ambush him.

Laura's sniper is also a laser gun; she fires it straight ahead when on the ground or does a field sweep on the hook.
She can throw knifes at the player and cover the ground with landmines. When up close at the ground, she swings her gun around in a circle. If below her, Laura swings on one of the hooks and does a ground slam producing a shockwave on both sides.
