Be sure and include their relationship with parents and any siblings.</strong><em>Laurie is the younger sister of a track star who has always been her parent's darling. She has long been the black sheep of the family with her artistic endeavors generally critiqued, her poor academic performance lambasted and no real support for her behavior. She was, at least, supported in her transition. Her parents accept her gender but not her attitude or aspirations. Laurie's father in particular is often cruel to her and has hit her more than a few times, being a relentless bully in their family home while letting the others off. Laurie tries to love her sister but she's pained by the way her big sis ignores her father's bullying.</em><br/><strong>Describe your character's school-life. Are they doing well? What is their relationship like with their teachers and peers?</strong><em>Laurie struggles considerably academically and generally performs poorly in most classes outside of art and has moderate success in athletics. She is a habitual rebel and chaos-causer who is always finding new ways to get into trouble. She's popular with others who flout the rules.</em><br/><strong>Describe your character's relationship to the stuffed animal that they brought. How did they acquire it? Did they want to bring it? Are they proud to show it, embarrassed to have it, or something else?</strong><em>Laurie's bear, Bella, was bought for her by her grandmother Emelda. She brings Bella any time she goes away from home for a longer period of time, treasuring her and being more than content for others to know how much she loves Bella. Any friend of Laurie's knows Bella.</em><br/><strong>What is one thing will make your character most home-sick while they are away?</strong><em>The music and atmosphere of the New Orleans streets that she loves to wander.</em><br/><strong>What is one thing will your character be happiest to hopefully 'leave behind' while they are away?</strong><em>Laurie is very, very happy to be away from her father. She quietly hopes that in some twist of fate he won't be there when she gets back. She has guilt about it but she wouldn't even be sad if he was to be truly gone forever.</em><br/><strong>What is your character's favorite campfire story and why?</strong><em>'The Tale of Henry the Hook' is a story about a hook-handed horror of the night. Laurie loves it, and lots of other horror media, because it's distracting, thrilling and a much more tangible, manageable fear than the others she's all too used to.</em>
