Role(s) Melee damage, combat maneuvers, alchemy, scout

Summary A tough, shell-shocked woman with a disturbing pet. Something monstrous is growing inside of her, though she feels a connection to it, and it drives her to violently protect it and her companions.

Backstory
Her name is Lora, or "Bloody" Lora as she was called, but she doesn't remember why. She doesn't recall anything more than flashes of blood and pain from before she awoke, but she has an enormous scar on her abdomen as if she had been cut open at some time in the past. Also, her belly is enlarged, as if she were pregnant, and she feels like something is living inside of her. This should be terrifying, but for some reason she feels tranquil. Her body is comfortably numb.

She remembers fighting a lot for food on the streets of whatever town it was she grew up in, usually with other children that were bigger and stronger than her. Except for one particular girl, a half-elf, who ran things. Lora always did what their leader said to do, and their leader looked after her. It was very cold there. She was learning how to use her body as a weapon, to pinch and punch with fingers, elbows, and knees. When she got hold of something, she had to consume it quickly before the others ganged up on her and took it away. She remembers drinking a tiny bottle of alcohol that she had found once while surrounded by... well, not children, things. Things that looked very alien to her, with lots of legs. The liquid burned as it went down, but she passed out anyway.

She seems to be older now, and her body isn't as agile as it used to be. That probably has something to do with her incredibly distended stomach; it slows her down and makes it harder for her to maneuver. She had a dream once where something crawled out of her and then back in again, a many-limbed lump of flesh that she felt was a part of her, like a child or a pet. She should probably feel something about that.

Description
About 5'8", Laura has long, dirty red hair that hangs in front of her eyes and her large forehead. Her nose and teeth are pronounced, and her chin is snug. Her skin is light brown. Her stomach has an obvious bulge, like she is pregnant, and a distinctive scar that runs all the way up to her sternum. She wears shiny metal armor of interlocking scales, a small metal shield, and she carries a large and curved sword in both hands. She seems very taciturn and distant, like she is in shock, or not all there, mentally.
 

“familiar”

 

Laura's familiar still lives inside her belly, as it grows larger and stronger. It appears to be an aberration, a warped creature with long, spindly crab legs and the head of a human infant.

Lora does something brutal and heroic.

Lora speaks! "What is that noise? Get behind me, get behind me!" she says.

Who are these people? Are we friends? I don't remember anything about them. But thank the gods my baby is safe... for now, Lora thinks.

(OOC) Lora does something out of character, like making a roll or moving.
