[hider=Who am I?]
[b]What do you look like?[/b] [indent][i]"I am a scientist. It's not my place to have opinions or relations. I must be as impartial as the facts themselves."[/i][/indent]
	A tall, thin woman who clearly does not get enough sleep or sunlight. Her pale skin is offset by dark red hair and vibrant green eyes, each underlined by dark, heavy bags. A network of blue veins are visible beneath her thin, vitamin deficient skin. She wears khaki pants with a black dress shirt and green tie, all adorned with wrinkles and sometimes loose strands of hair. The accompanying black shoes are scuffed and lusterless, the white lab coat yellowed and stained from coffee and smoke. She wears the face of one that has not interacted with her own kind in many years.

[b]What do you remember?[/b]
[indent][[color=778899]• "He pushed me off the playset. That's why I bit him. It was his fault."
• "He held me down and spit in my eyes. That's why I shoved him down the steps. I don't care if his wrist broke."
• "They stole my books and ripped the pages out. My mother can't afford to pay for them."
• "I just told them to do their job. If they got their feelings hurt, that's their problem. This is a job, not a family."
• "They [i]invited[/i] me. They [i]wanted[/i] me here. Now they treat me like a burden, all because of their own mistake."[/color]]

[[color=B0C4DE]• "The sun is a star! And every star might be a sun! That's so cool!"
• "She said I write better than everyone else! I love writing now!"
• "I thought I'd be more squeamish about it, but dissecting frogs is fascinating! I've always liked taking things apart and seeing how they work."
• "I can't believe it! I got in! They accepted my application! This is the first step toward a better future!"
• "My own lab...? I- er- I mean, *ahem!* Yes, I would be honored to take the job."[/color]][/indent]

[b]You brought something with you, what is it?[/b][indent]A plain black notebook and an expensive looking pen. The pen is black with a gold colored tip, clip, and click-top. Taped to the inside cover of the notebook is a polaroid photo of a woman who bares striking resemblance to Laura, but older, pinker, plumper. [i]Happier.[/i][/indent][/hider]
[Hider=Stolen Memories]
[b]If you had one wish, what would it be?[/b]
[indent]"I wish people weren't so terrible. Then maybe I could stand them."[/indent]
	What Laura really wants is companionship. She doesn't care what kind at this point, romantic, sexual, intellectual. She needs another human to validate her own humanity. Unfortunately, she'll never admit this, not even to herself. Humans are disgusting, selfish, ignorant, stupid, panicky animals. She has not met a single one that she deems worth the effort. The one or two she'd be willing to interact with have had the good judgement not to associate with her.
[b]Who was the most important person in your life?[/b]
[indent]"I hate this question. Everyone asks it as if the answer will reveal something deeply insightful, when, in reality, there's only one correct answer; myself. Just like every other creature on this planet.[/indent]
	In truth, the most important person to Laura had always been her mother, the only friend she'd ever had and, in all likely hood, the only thing that's kept her sane all these years. And she's dead now.

[b]If you could change something about yourself, what would it be?[/b][indent]"Why would I want to change anything about myself? I'm not the problem." [/indent]
	If she could, she'd make herself more outgoing and charismatic. She'd have a veritable cult of people hanging on her every word, too engrossed in what she could teach them to even feed themselves. Of course, this would first require being willing to look at other humans, which she most definitely is not.[/hider][/hider]
