Skills:- Static Trapeze- Is a trapeze act in which the performer moves around the bar and ropes, performing a wide range of movements including balances, drops, hangs while the bar itself stays generally static.
- Swinging Trapeze- Is an act performed on a trapeze swinging in a forward - backward motion like the swings many people sit in at parks.
- Flying Trapeze- Is a trapeze act where a performer, or "flyer," grabs the trapeze bar and jumps off a high platform, or pedestal board, so that gravity creates the swing. The swing's parts are the "force out" (sometimes called the "cast out") at the far end of the first swing, the beat back and the rise (also known as "seven") as the performer swings back above the pedestal board, and then the trick is thrown at the far end of the second swing. The performer often releases the bar and is caught by another performer, the "catcher," who hangs by his or her knees on another trapeze, or sometimes on a cradle, which can be either stationary or also swinging.

Personality: Laura is a friendly young woman but very private with her true feelings, this is due to her childhood spent as a performer in the family business.
A private person she isn’t shy just careful about what she tells people outside of the performers she’s spent her life with forming a family that shared genetics isn’t required to be a member of.
Well traveled she is at ease in new surroundings quickly, not a picky eater either.
She loves to laugh among people she knows
Bio: Born in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada Laura is the 3 daughter out of 4 an the 5th child in birth succession she comes from a large family who have been aerialists and acrobats since the 1500s
Hers was an odd childhood spent training in the family acrobatics school in hope of one day becoming the star or member of a troop. The family school always had at least 15-20 students studying at any given time and it wasn’t all performance and from what Laura discovered was a serious school in other areas. They were forced to learn history but from the point of view of performers, family genealogies, the names of Kings and Queens as well as other nobility and whether they were good or bad patrons. Math came next and it was focused on accounting and engineering skills needed to erect the gear and make sure the performers were safe. Reading and writing may have been last but they were still stressed so that they could read or write contracts.
Her family were made up of people from around the world and most of them still kept their old country languages alive by passing it on to the children most members able to speak at least 3 other than their own
At 9 Laura displayed skills in contortion which got her a summer job touring with the Jacoboni circus with her Uncle and Aunt’s small troop.
At age 11 Laura had developed further skills as a Highwire Walker and secured a job with the Windham & Wilson traveling the sunbelt of the US which meant she was now homeschooled on the move with the troop and other performers acting as teacher and tutors.
!5 years old and she’d finally made the coveted position of named performer of the Flying LaClair’s; they called her Destiny LaClair. It was all so fun that it was hard for her to believe she was being paid.
She was approached by one of the huge Casino’s last year as her troop was finishing up and they offered her huge money to become their next star. So after having so much money thrown at her and a discussion with her family Laura was given the name of an industry trusted lawyer and urged to seek her fortune in Sin City
