Name/Nickname:
Laurie Ann Barlow
Age:
23
Gender:
Female
Height:
5’8”
Weight:
137 lbs
Alignment:
Chaotic Good
Affliction:
Werewolf (family curse)
Nationality:
English/Irish/German; born in Wisconsin
Occupation:
Waitress at the Fisherman’s Hook, librarian, and occasional drummer whenever/wherever she’s needed
Skills and Abilities:
She’s an okay waitress and multitasker, and she can play the drums fairly well. She’s learning how to control her curse from Rosko McTavish, another werewolf. As a human, retains some heightened senses (though she isn’t really aware of that, as she’s been that way her entire life).
Weaknesses:
Silver, traditional werewolf weaknesses
Relationships:
She’s very close to her parents, Liz and Sean, who live several cities over; she’s especially close to her father, whom she inherited her curse from. Marlee is like a younger sister to her; Malcolm like an annoying younger brother. She loves Marlene and feels indebted to her after Marlene helped her get back on her feet. Mik Dombrovski is her boss, and Om Anila and Jack DeLuca are acquaintances from work. Paste is her lawyer, to whom she’s forever grateful, and Cut is a fellow musician and ‘babysitter’ of Marlee; she visits them often. She’s willing and happy to make friends with anyone, though she can be just as quick to accidentally alienate these people.
She’s not exactly ready to reenter the dating scene, but if someone arrives to sweep her off of her feet, she’ll definitely take that opportunity!
Personality:
Laurie is a helpful, curious and empathetic young woman who would gladly and enthusiastically be anyone’s friend. However, she’s also painfully impulsive and prone to mood swings, bouts of depression and guilt. She values love and loyalty within the family and friends, and is also an enormous activist. If something’s wrong with anything, she WILL point it out and do her best to fix it – it doesn’t matter if its world hunger, governmental policy or the stain on your blouse. That last tendency may come off as rude and off-putting to many people, but she honestly doesn’t mean any harm by it. She likes parties and dancing (even if she isn’t particularly good at it), and loves telling and listening to stories – though she generally hangs back in many conversations, she will talk your ear off once you get her going on something she likes or that really funny thing that happened at work yesterday. Peace, love and understanding, as well as a strong sense of justice, are the guiding forces of her life. The last person you’d expect to be brutally mauling hobos and the wayward teenager by moonlight, right?
Appearance and History:
scribblerrigby.deviantart.com/art/BRIDGEPORT-Laurie-Barlow-87430471 though she needs an updated reference sheet. She has dirty blond hair that she wears in various styles and dyes in various colors – though her current favorite color is bright blue.
This might be better: scribblerrigby.deviantart.com/art/Bits-of-the-Barlows-108132218
Anything Else:
- She loves baggy clothes and HATES blond hair.
- Drives an unreliable 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, which often breaks down in all sorts of ways. Because of this, she’s more frequently seen on a blue motor scooter (a finished project of her dad’s).
- Has absolutely NO control when in wolf form - basically a starved, bloodthirsty, yet cruelly intelligent lunatic. Your typical, completely berserk werewolf.
- Has a weakness for Mel Brooks movies
- Anything by Douglas Adams or Hunter S. Thompson is the best book, ever.
