So, it's kinda funny Laura is coming directly after Manitou Dawn, because how I came to like her as much as I do is kind of opposite to how I came to like Dawn.

I very specifically recall Scarlet in a voice chat one time long ago mentioning that he didn't really care for Laura Penn all that much, being that she was in that grouping of characters that technically appeared in DC comics but were basically original characters but hadn't been fully crafted like Patch or Starsa or Pixie. He didn't understand why she was suddenly getting so many scenes over much more developed characters (I'm paraphrasing, give me a break, it's been like 2 years).

The why, of course, was because she Z'onn Z'orrs resident tailor, which gave players a specific service that only she could provide. Now, deep down, part of me can't help but want to be a heel of a player once in a while, and this negativity only made me want to go see her more, which worked out well, as her skills are more than just making clothes. She serves as a sort of mirror to the characters (to Bloodfruit at the very least), helping to craft the player's vision of who they want their character to be. In a world of superheroes and endless numbers of special or magical items, your outfit is essential in establishing your own character.

Laura's been there every step of the way, helping me craft the way Bloodfruit portrays herself to those around her, and helping me along in some of my most important personal quests (we'll get into those later). And I'd LIKE to think that in the time since the initial sentiment Scarlet has come around on her, and recognized her importance the way the players (or me, specifically) see it.

Hint for #32: This character has an alliterative name
