Personality::
When people look at lauren they think that they are seeing some simple quiet little girl who hasn't done a thing to ruin her reputation, but that's only the view that other people have. Though the view is all but correct, lauren is actually a complicated young woman.
INTELLEGENT. Lauren for one is a very smart young women, she know's exactly what she needs to fo to make it and is completely prepared to do so. It's more of a skill she has, she doesn't study but she remembers things well, an aspect of her that she rather enjoys. Some people call her a walking thesaurus because she has a grand ability to use larger, more complex words rather than short simple terms. She can't stand it when people can't understand what she says because they don't know what the word means, even though she has quite a few friends that can't understand what it is that she's saying half of the time.
EASILYAGGRIVATED. It really doesn't take much for lauren to get aggrivated, not nessecerily mad, but aggrivated. If you repeat yourself constantly Lauren is going to say something to you about it, because it annoys her. Girls who fret over stupid little things, annoy her as well. She doesn't exactly have a short temper though, it's not that she gets so mad that she would hit someone but it's the little things that irk her.
ADDICT. Lauren has a bad habit of getting herself addicted to things. She seems to always do it, there's the pills, there was not eating, there was drawing on her walls, it's just random things that she starts to feel sick if she doesn't do. It's a part about her that she really dislikes because she ends up blowing off her friends so she can go do it so she won't feel sick. It has been this way ever since she was younger and has been trying to control it but it never seems to work out the way she wants it to.
PYROMANIAC LAuren has always had an odd love for fire, when she was younger she was constantly getting scolded for running her hands over the flame of candles and lighting papers on fire just to watch them burn. Now she just plays with lighters for fun but her mother had always said she was going to be accused of arson because of it one of these days, that one she actually wouldn't doubt. She would hate for it to happen but it is actually a very likely thing to happen.
CARING. Lauren is always trying to help out her friends when things go wrong even if it may possible jepordize something in her own life. She always has put her friends problems above her own and probably always will, everyone is always telling her to just think about herself for once and try to get her own life straightened out but that never really works, lauren never really listens to anyone when they tell her to take care of herself, but when they tell her to do other things she usually does.
HYPOCRITICAL. Normally everyone is a little bit of a hypocrite right? Well Lauren seems to go a bit overboard on that factor sometimes, she will tell people not to do something and then go right around and do it. It's not because she enjoys lying to people or getting them mad at her it's just that she cares a lot about her freinds and as stated, puts their problems ahead of her own.
POETIC. this has become a part of her personality, it is how she lets everything out, she writes poems and such about things and then just keeps them to herself until they are a year or at least seven or eight months old. She also has a habit of writing down old Edger Allan poe quotes, never speaking them in fear of people thinking of her funny, just because she likes his writing and finds the mysteriousness of it all quite exciting to her own taste, an odd taste that she does have in writing.
BLUNT. this characteristic of her personality is one that seems to stand out more than others. She always tells things how they are and isn't the type to sugar coat anything she says, and she says what she thinks. She does try and find the best part in every situation and does seem to have a knack for doing so which she gained from the years of trying to make her freinds feel better but not wanting to lie to them to make them feel better.If you look terrible, she'll tell you. She won't even lie to make you happy when your completely and utterly depressed, but she will find the good in the bad to make you happy, because she for one hates seeing people sad.
INDEPENDANTShe thinks that she can make it on her own and do everything by herself without help from others. Which is mostly true, she's a good leader and knows what to do in most situations but of course there isn't anybody who can completely do everything on their own now is there? Nope, she tried to hardest though. She hates admitting that she needs help. her. It doesn't matter what happens she's going to try to do it on her own before letting somebody else help her.
LOWSELFCONFIDENCE. She can't help but to think of herself as so much worse than everybody else. She knows deep down that she isn't as ugly as she could be and she could be much heavier than she is now but she just can't think of herself as that way, esspecially not with Imogen being her best friend. It doesn't matter how many people are going to tell her that she is perfectly fine the way she is she is going to see herself as worse.
DRUGGIE. Lauren is what you would consider a bit of a druggie. Wherever there are drugs near, she's either already taken some or is on her way to go do so. She wasn't much of an addict until recently when she became addicted to some pills.
STUBBORN. She hates to admit when she's wrong about something, she'll try her hardest to battle her way out of something simply for the feeling that she was right, even if she was wrong. She's a bit childish in this aspect, she's like a kid competing over who gets the last chocolate chip cookie. :]

Brief History::
June 21, 1989 was a marvelous day for Martin and Charlie Carmen, it was the day that their beautiful baby girl was born, Lauren Mae. The couple was very much so in love and were proud of their young girl. The girl was said to be sick and they hadn't an idea wether or not she could find the strength in her young body to fight off the sickness. Surprisingly enough she fought back, all of her body growing enough to make enough strength to fight it off. She was said to be something of a mericle child. It was a few weeks before she actually got to go home and be with her family, still on major medications.
Life for the young baby was grand, her parents were so greatly well off that the little girl had ended up with more things than she could imagine, and the best medical help to make sure that she grew up to be a normal young toddler learning at the same pace as other children which happened, not much to do with the medical help but the natural learning ability the girl had. As a toddler she picked up things very easily and was reading in preschool. The education officials were very surprised to hear of the girls history when she applied to be in the school, in a good way.
She soared through grade school easily, making friends well, making grades even better, and her home life was just fantastic. The fact that her parents seemed to have the perfect relationship made it even better, most children traumatized by their parents constant aruging and fighting. Lauren hadn't ever had to deal with that.
In fourth grade another surprise came, her parents announced that she was going to be having a new baby brother soon. Lauren wasn't worried about it at all, she hadn't ever thought that her parents would be the kind of people who ignored their first born becuase they had gotten another baby. When the baby was home, Lauren noticed a change, she was getting yelled at more often and they were starting to stop playing with her. That luckily had only lasted until the baby brother, caleb, was about six months. Those, to lauren, seemed like the longest six months of her life.
Her parents had then explained to her that the young child needed more care than an older one, Lauren understood, now being in fifth grade, still immature yet well thought out. After that everything seemed to go smoothly until lauren hit eighth grade, that was when the worst day of her life happened, and it was all her fault, her responsibility and she never let herself live it down.
It was a summer day and she was home, responsible for watching Caleb, she was outside with her friend and they were out by the pool, Caleb only four, turning five the next week, swimming around the pool in his floaties, not a strong swimmer just yet and she went inside to prove to her that she didn't steal her bracelet and when she had returned outside she couldn't find her brother, only his floaties on the water, She ran up to the pool and what she saw terrified her, her brother at the bottom, he had somehow gotten out of the floaties but couldn't swim.
It didn't matter how much her parents told her that it wasn't her fault she couldn't help but to think that it was, if it wasn't hers than who else's was it. Ever since then she couldn't help but to be terrified of the water.
Everything went smoothly until Lauren hit sixteen, her parents left her there so they could go on a trip to australia and lauren was absolutly fine with it, i mean come on it was three weeks without parents, who wouldn't enjoy it? Well about two weeks into their trip she got a call from her parents that was telling her that they were making the trip a permenent move and lauren was going to be living by herself and that they were planning on sending some people up there to get their things. Lauren was heartbroken, sure she could live on her own but it didn't mean she wasn't hurt by the fact that her parents would up and leave her without even coming up to make sure she was alright.
Lauren got a not so pleasent surprise about a month later, when she was coming out of the shower she found her uncles there waiting, they were supossed to be getting her parents stuff, which they did, after they had tried to rape her. They had given up after two hours of fighting with her, deciding that she kicked and bit too much to keep trying, so they left lauren in her room and finished moving the stuff into the van, then returning to lauren to tell her that her parents wanted her to come down and visit. After the plane rides there and then spending the time she came back as soon as they would let her, which leaves us at now.
