note: while i've written laura lee since march of last year, i still haven't fully fleshed her out in a canon divergent version of yellowjackets where she doesn't get on the plane to go find help for the rest of the the team. the information below is subject to change if her portrayal shifts, but, for now, the information is for a more fandomless laura lee or a laura lee before the plane crash.

sex & intimacy.
current marital/relationship/sexual status: single, not really interested.
sexual orientation (is it something they question or a secret): demiromantic, demisexual. (preference for women). laura lee is entirely in the closet, she’s a teenage catholic girl in the 90s who is afraid of the entire world’s opinions.
views on sex (one night stands, promiscuity, etc): not until marriage, and not interested.
ever been in love?: i’m not sure, maybe not actually?
do they fall in love easily?: fall in love, no, though i do think she loves, easily, in general. she trusts easily, she cares easily. laura lee falling in love requires a strong connection and commitment from both parts
do they desire marriage and/or children in their future?: yes, to both.
thoughts on public displays of affection?: she doesn’t prefer it more than private displays of affection, i think she finds them more meaningful and just prefers more private relationships in general. pda tends to makes her shy, even when she’s not the one who’s receiving or giving it. i think she could get used to it if her partner loved it, but she prefers smaller acts and more private. holding hands is and hugging is okay, but that’s about it.
how do they show affection/love to their partner?: words of affirmation is a big one, acts of service and quality time are next.
==relationships.==
social habits (popular, loner, some close friends, makes friends and then quickly drops them): laura lee has a tendency toward introverted behaviors, but her closest friends are the team, and she clings to them like sisters. she doesn’t know and isn’t close to hardly anyone outside of the team, which makes it hard when they shut her out and don’t tell her anything, because she’s lonely. + more here.
how do they treat others (politely, rudely, keep at distance, etc)?: she’s very polite and kind, though she may seem sort of anxious and quiet when you first meet her, once you get closer to her, however, she gets a little less anxious, though i imagine she still has an air of mysteriousness about her, because she only ever talks about the good parts of her life, or rarely talks about it at all, saving her sins and most things about herself for confession and prayer.
argue or avoid conflict?: avoid conflict 100% and try to fix it in a calmer way.
companions: leonard!!! (her teddy bear, which was given to her by her maternal grandfather. he originally had a pilot's vest on, but it has gotten lost over the years. laura lee suspects that one of the twins had stolen it, but her mother told her to forgive and forget and not worry too much about it.), lottie matthews, taissa turner, vanessa palmer, shauna shipman, jackie taylor, coach ben scott, natalie scatorccio, mari, akilah, javi martinez, travis martinez.
antagonists: no one :) (except like,,,, satan ig)
==secrets.==
dreams: furthering her relationship with the lord, helping her family succeed and be able to be comfortable.
greatest fears: being sinful and wicked, failing her family.
biggest regret: [insert minor sin here], but, seriously, she really hasn’t done anything horrible, but i suppose her suspicion that she killed her grandfather is her biggest regret, even though everyone has told her the idea is ridiculous.
what they most want to change about their current life?: she often wishes she could be braver, and she also grieves for her grandfather greatly and misses him. she also wishes that her parents didn’t have to work so hard and that they could just relax.
likes & dislikes.
hobbies: in addition to playing soccer and her after-school bible study, laura lee also has piano lessons. she plays well, though sometimes she gets anxious and second guesses herself. sometimes she'll stay late during bible study to practice on the church piano, as her parents hope she'll play during mass some day when she gets older. when she's not at soccer practice for her high school team (the yellowjackets) or school, you can find her volunteering at a soup kitchen or at bible study, but other than that she stays home often to take care of her younger sisters or her tired parents and grandmother that lives with them.
interests: catholicism, soccer, sewing, baking but like.. not the fancy stuff just like :) lil homey tarts and pies, old books, piano, handiness/mechanics which her grandfather taught her about.
indoors or outdoors?: outdoors. the lane house backs the woods, and laura lee grew up playing in it and enjoys being outside a fair bit. there are various marks of her childhood lying in those woods, ranging from playhouses to leftover toys buried in mud. once leah anne was born, laura lee stopped playing as much and began taking care of her younger sisters instead.
favorite color: yellow.
favorite smell: warm scents, often nostalgic ones.
favorite and least favorite food: she likes simple foods in general, anything with a lot of spice is something that she dislikes, though she’s not a very picky eater and will try to eat everything she is given because that’s how she was raised.
coffee or tea?: tea, specifically warm tea.
favorite type of weather: a cool breeze and sunshine.
favorite form of entertainment: reading, especially older books.
how do they feel about traveling?: laura lee’s never really traveled anywhere before, though she wants to take a pilgrimage one day, her family’s just never been able to afford it before. nationals is the first time she’s ever been on a plane through an airline- though she has flown with her grandfather before in his plane -or gone anywhere that was that far away.
what sort of gifts do they like?: really anything, she’s very sentimental and will appreciate anything beyond belief, especially since she doesn’t have much. i think she loves little earrings though, just little things in general to make her think of the gift giver.
drugs & alcohol.
thoughts on drugs and alcohol: her parents try to keep certain 'unpure' things out of her life. music, movies, and shows that were deemed something that god wouldn't have approved of were banned from the household. though, laura lee finds ways around some of their rules through the yellowjackets. she’s only drank alcohol at church when it’s blessed to be jesus’ blood, and she smoked one of her friend’s cigarettes only once before she decided she hated it. because of her love for her friends, she doesn’t judge them too harshly, though she does worry for their souls and their bodies.
do they smoke? if so, do they want to quit?: no.
have they ever tried other drugs? (which, what happened, consequences): no.
do they have any addictions?: no.
other details.
most important/defining event in life to date: laura lee had always been catholic, having been taught since birth by her parents. but her faith was heightened even after she survived hitting her head on the bottom of the pool of mary magdalene summer camp when she was 13. laura lee’s grandfather’s death also played a huge role in her life, it was the first time someone close to her had died and he had almost been like a second father to her.
daily routine: she starts early in the morning to take care of her siblings and make sure they get up for school, as well as get some chores done to make it easier on her parents before she leaves for school. she doesn’t come home until after practice that goes on for two hours after school, and then if she doesn’t have anything to do with church, she’ll do her homework and make sure her siblings have done theirs, before getting them dinner and off to bed before going to bed herself, definitely at an early time for her age.
typical saturday night: staying home and taking care of her siblings and grandmother or out volunteering. on the rare occasion of her not being busy, she can be persuaded to go out with her friends, but she’s incredibly cautious the entire time.
what is home like (messy, neat, sparse): as neat as a house with a bunch of kids can be, but laura lee tries her best to keep it neat.
can they hold their breath for a long time?: yes, it’s necessary for pen cleaning at the farm dishvjccdbj
do they know how to swim?: yes, though she hasn’t swam very much since she hit her head at summer camp.
can they cook (if so, how well and do they enjoy it)?: laura lee can cook, she has to in order to take care of her sisters, though it’s mostly basic, simple things. she likes to bake as well, but it’s not very intricate or detailed, or even very pretty. but they taste good an are filling and that’s all that matters to her.

profession: n/a, highschooler, she’s an altar server but she doesn’t get paid for that.
parents: noah and catherine lane, they are kind but strict and incredibly busy, though they love their daughters fiercely. they are very, very catholic, which is why they’re so strict. laura lee’s parents aren’t as fond as soccer as laura lee is, they think it cuts into her relationship with the lord and her piano lessons. they weren’t very pleased that she was going off to nationals because she’d miss church, and they made her swear that she would still do her prayers and read the marked bible sections for those days.
siblings: laura lee lane is the eldest of six girls, the amount of children the lanes have puts them in lower class, which in turn busies mrs. and mr. lane trying to make ends meet and put laura lee into a caregiver position for her younger siblings. the lane children: laura lee (17), abigail brooke (13), mary rose (10), leah anne (8), and the twins, june sofia and lucy claire (5).
extended family: laura lee’s grandfather, jonah lane, has been someone she’s been close to ever since she was little. she loved to hear his stories in his big, warm armchair and hear all about his plane. he first inspired her interest in mechanics.
species: human.
nationality: american.
ethnicity: caucasian.
residence: her family farm in wiskayok, new jersey.
physical & appearance.
faceclaim: jane widdop (teens - early twenties), clémence poésy (beyond).
height: 5’6”.
body type/frame: laura lee is thin and athletic, very soft curves but they aren’t very defined and not very noticeable, especially with the loose clothes she wears.
distinguishing features: just her overall gentleness? you can just see it on her face when you meet her.
eye color: blue, tho like a very pure blue you feel.
eye details: medium in size, framed by short blonde eyelashes.
body hair color: pale blonde, hardly visible.
body hair style: thin and wispy, but she doesn’t shave due to not being allowed to, though it’s very rare that large patches of her skin are visible anyway because of how modestly she dresses.
head hair color: "very shiny” - van. towards the roots, a mousier blonde, teetering on light brown, and a more pronounced blonde at the mid-length and ends where it meets her shoulders.
head hair style: straight for sure, she keeps it cut to her shoulders and usually pushed back from her face using a headband or pulling pieces of it back in a half-up half-down kinda vibe.
complexion: pale with light pink undertones, light freckles scattered across her skin, but notably across the bridge of her nose. she has sensitive skin and is prone to blushing and redness when it is cold.
voice: gentle, usually quiet and soft spoken. she always speaks sort of cautiously, and she normally has at least a thousand more things to say but she’s too shy and anxious too.
posture: straight, almost obsessively so. like keeping herself to herself as tight as she can.
scars: one fairly healed at the top of her head, under her hair, from where she hit it at the bottom of the pool at summer camp when she was thirteen.
most noticeable features: her smile i think when it is big and bright and present, due to her cute little dimples.
general facial expression: probably like, anxious if you were to see her from across the room or just candidly, but she carries a much softer, warmer expression when engaging in conversation, or when she’s with her friends. when she’s with her sisters, her demeanor is very taut and stressed due to dealing with five other children and the chaos that they bring, chaos that laura lee finds incredibly overwhelming, though she loves them so much.
default body language: generally taut, anxious, fearful and shy. definitely a different story when around her friends, though she’s still anxious and a little on edge, but most of it, then, is worrying about them more than her usual pile of anxieties and nervousness. it’s not necessarily closed off in a guard-y way though? however, she is prone to reaching out and comforting others whenever she sees it.
general movements: similar to body language. but i think it’s important to note that she’s not a fiddly kind of anxious? she doesn’t fidget that much, she just stays very, very still to hold everything. the only thing that sort of counts as fidgeting is when she gets anxious she has a tendency to just hold her cross necklace in her hand to try to refocus her attention to god
presence: gentle and warm, pure as well, generally pretty sound i think. sound as in she will stay and she genuinely wants to be where she is and isn’t going to leave or is too much in her own head. attentive, i guess, is the right word. she sometimes gets wrapped up in her worries, but she’s pretty good at staying present. i think she has a naturally peaceful and calming sort of presence, like everything's going to be okay when you see her.
appearance: clean and tidy, though she thinks she looks plain after being told so for so many years by others. her general insecurities with the way she looks assists in the way she presents herself, but also the ideals that traditionally come with the culture of her faith, like modest clothing and little embellishment.
scent: clean linen if anything, but not like overpowering laundry detergent.
what do they consider their best feature?: she really doesn’t think of her appearance much? she wants to look neat and clean but other than that she considers vanity sort of a sin.
style of dress/typical outfit(s): her clothes are old fashioned and hand-me-downs from her mother or her mother’s sisters, and hardly ever fit correctly. sometimes they are made by her mother, hardly anything is bought new. she likes long skirts and cardigans, often in pastels.
jewelry? tattoos? piercings?: laura lee always wears a dainty, gold cross necklace around her neck, given to her by her grandfather, as well as having her ears pierced.
do they work out/exercise?: she attends consistent and frequent soccer practices daily during the school year, as well as practices in the summer that are less restricted by the school day, so, yes she works out a lot. laura lee’s family also lives on a farm and they cannot afford anyone else to help out, so she spends a lot of time doing chores at the farm as well, which is rarely easy work.
belief & intellect.
level of self esteem: low, levels of anxious teenage girl low. she rarely ever defends herself when shut down, and her faith is really the only thing she has confidence in.
known languages: english and high school level spanish class.
gifts/talents: she’s a quick learner, she knows how to sew, often stitching up her younger sisters' clothes or her own if need be, she’s good with machinery and also just like farm skills in general but she knows the most about machines because if there’s one thing a farm’s gonna have it’s just a bunch of broken shit to fix.
how do they deal with stress?: prayer.
what do they do when upset?: pray first, but she’s pretty good at self regulating i feel? like she can talk herself down fairly easily, because she’s used to dealing with emotional young children (her siblings) and often uses those tactics on herself.
do they believe in happy endings?: absolutely, the lord will provide.
how do they feel about asking for help?: prayer is often asking for help and guidance, so laura lee is used to asking for help from a young age.
optimist or pessimist: optimism. again, the lord will provide.
extrovert or introvert: i interpret canon as laura lee strictly when she’s comfortable and with people she’s close to, so i think she has a lot shyer disposition to people she does not know. however, when she’s around her friends and loved ones, she’s very bright and perky, almost unbearably so.
leader or follower: definitely more of a follower, not very much of a leader but a caretaker.
makes decisions based mostly on emotions, or on logic?: she’s very mature, and tries to make decisions based on logic because she knows that’s what she’s supposed to do, but she rarely is able to go through with it.
spontaneous or planner: planner, often talks herself through things and what she’s going to do next, even for simple tasks.
thinker or doer: thinker.
organized or messy: organized.
worrier or carefree: worrier.
artistic?: not really, but she enjoys art and beauty and that sort of thing.
mathematical?: like moderately honors for her age group, but not anything outstanding.
personality: laura lee is incredibly kind and has a very gentle and nurturing nature. her faith is reflected anyway she can in her life, and she resembles someone pure and holy. while that's true, she is not entirely naive nor is she dumb. she also isn't completely sheltered from the world around her, she's still a teenager and at least hears about the things that her peers are up to, even though she doesn't participate in them herself.headcannons: laura lee + the sacraments, personal canon timeline.other important tags: gen headcannon, gen study, blogcanon.
