Hello, all! It's Nye. And this is Demeter or Laura Schreiber.
She is Flauros' older sister. (She's 28, but will soon be 29 in 5 days.) Because of her brother's poking and prodding, she applied and got into grad school for Nutrition and Dietetics. She hasn't started yet; the summer semester marks her return to the academic setting. She decided to come out to Montenegro early. She has a small apartment and works at Olive Our Gardens, a nursery. She loves to garden, and will have some kind of fruit, vegetable, and herb growing somewhere.
She knows she's Demeter, but it was a recent discovery (about three years ago). She was hospitalized for severe depression after the sudden death of her two month old son, and that is when everything came flooding in. It was the first time she was hospitalized for her depression. When she was a teenager, she was diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder, but none of the treatments helped. After realizing who she was, she figured out why she was depressed during the fall and winter months.
She is divorced. They tried, but their marriage couldn't survive the death of a son and Laura's talks of being Demeter among other things.
Her powers include listening to plants (they don't speak to her, but somehow she knows when they need to be watered, pruned, picked, etc.), being effected by the seasons (this happens gradually; she won't wake up one morning and BAM! depressed...right now, she's starting to come out of her winter depression...and the plants around her will feel it too...it's explained better in her app), and she makes the best damn breads ever. And she shares.
I'm not going to say much more, but Laura is fun (she doesn't like parties but smaller outings), loves the outdoors (playing in the dirt is a good thing), a girly-girl (she likes to get dressed up and will cry from watching animal creulty commercials), stubborn (when she puts her foot down, she means it), can get crazy angry (mess with her brother and find out), can't flirt or pick it up in others, and can get lost while driving.
