Appearance: Lauren's hair is a dark, mousy brown like her mother's hair, which she tends to keep up in a pony tail or down to let it fly in the wind. She also got her mother's chocolate brown eyes and huge toothy smile...though that might have come from her dad as well. Size wise, she is small compared to other girls her age, but is slowly developing into her own shape and style. Though she appears weak, Lauren is a mover and a shaker and so is much stronger than she looks thanks to all of her physical activity.
Though she is a tom boy by heart, loving to wear jean shorts and t-shirts while at home and then jeans when not in the school uniform at school, she secretly likes to dress up with her big sister, Becky. Even putting on make up and going all out for parties and such, though she has yet to attend a Hogwarts ball. Her over all style is casual with her being barefoot half the time because she simply forgets to wear shoes. Her jewelry and accessories are minimal and she 'borrows' whatever she likes from Becky when the time feels right to do so.

Boggart: Like the rest of her family, she is afraid to lose them, but her twin, Matt more so than the rest.
Dementor: One day she had been out surfing with her brother when a big shark happened to come a little too close. Their parents had been on the beach and could not get to them quick enough. She and Matt tried to surf back into safer brothers, but the sharp toothed animal took a nice bite out of her board, making her crash into the water where she almost got eaten herself if Matt had not come by to slam his board into the shark's face.
Patronus: The first time she got up on a surfboard and felt like she was on top of the world! It was the moment she knew she loved the feeling of flight with the wind in her hair. Takes the form of a sea gull.
Amortentia: the beach, chocolate, the coconut smell from sunblock
Personality: One of the biggest words to describe Lauren is hyper! She was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder when she was nine years old which now explains her ability to easily get distracted and hyperactivity. When she does take her medicine, she can be extremely focused to the point of it being scary when she studies like pulling all-nighters to get ahead on her work. Though that is a rarity for her as she tends to save her work to the night before. She has to constantly plan things out and write things down or else she will forget to do important things for school and other parts of her life. She loves to daydream, though it gets her into trouble in class.
Outside of class, Lauren is constantly laughing and on the move. Sitting still for too long makes her antsy which is why she is always running around. She loves sports, especially Quidditch, Basketball, and Surfing. Her favorite position to play is Beater as she gets to hit the living shit out of the Bludgers that come her way. Her favorite game to play inside is Exploding Snap. Sometimes she can get easily frustrated with school, especially when the teachers don't understand her essays which make perfect sense to her. Over all she is generally happy, but can feel down on herself and overly self conscious sometimes when she is not around her family who get her the most. She loves to laugh and hang out with her friends and family. One of her favorite things to do is mess with her brother, Matt, especially during the summers since they are in different houses. One could say that she is a bit much when they first meet her, but usually learn about her quiet side the more they get to know her.

Birth place: Long Beach, California, USA
Overall history: Lauren is the middle girl of her four siblings, and the twin sister to Matt. Out of all of her siblings, she is closest to him, but at times is close to her sister, Becky, since they live in the same house at Hogwarts. Growing up in California gave her a love of the outdoors and playing in the sunshine. She is used to having a very active lifestyle with her friends and family back home. Thanks to the insistence of her father, she even went to Muggle school for a few years before getting her letter to go to Hogwarts with her siblings.
After arriving at Hogwarts, Lauren learned several things about herself: she hates the cold of the castle, really likes the complexities of Transfiguration magic, and wants to grow wings and fly like a bird more than anything. She also learned that she was not the strangest duck in the pond after getting to know some of her roommates. The wonders of the castle constantly kept grabbing her attention, which did not really help her ability to get easily distracted. A slight bit of movement or something shiny that passed her by and she was gone from the current task at hand, which would then take a bit for her to get re-focused again.
It was a rarity to find her inside the library trying to be quiet and study. Lauren loves the outdoors too much to not be in it, even while she is studying. She can be very loud and opinionated about things around her. One often sees her flying about or playing basketball with either her brother or a close friend who has learned the game over the years.
