Laura is a 21-year-old woman. She's a little below average height, fairly slight of build, but curvaceous and busty. She has a young-looking face, pale skin, brown eyes, and shoulder-length red hair. She wears makeup, but not a lot. Most of the time she dresses quite femininely, in dresses or skirts, with her hair down or braided. If she's working, she'll be dressed practically, generally in a jumpsuit or overalls with her hair tied up or in a ponytail. She's very much conventionally attractive on the cute side, though she doesn't usually emphasize the fact in how she presents herself. It wouldn't be unfair to describe her as a moeblob, looks-wise, though she doesn't act helpless.
In mannerisms, she's friendly and pleasant but also shy and somewhat self-effacing. She's soft-spoken with a London (not Cockney) accent. She is in fact stronger than she looks, though that's still not very strong. She's a competent fighter, enough to defend herself against someone with minimal training, but not to fight evenly against a soldier or specialist without using her powers. She works as an apprentice mechanic, and also helps out in the kitchen and to a lesser extent the medbay and arboretum, so she knows a little about all of those roles from a ground level view.
At virtually all times she wears a device like a bulky, robust wristwatch on her left wrist. This is her amplifier, which enables her Shifter powers. The short version is that given a couple of seconds to transform, she becomes armoured, superhumanly strong and tough, environmentally self-contained, capable of flight and able to summon objects such as blades and shields. Even when not transformed she has accelerated healing. This is noticeable in that she has no scars or calluses.
If you have a nodding acquaintance with Laura or have heard other people talking about her, you probably know that she's generally well-liked, trains with the Britannian 501st Strike Witches and Clan Wolf, and is gay, being involved with Lily Rain.
