Much of Laurina's past is shrouded, even from her. While she remembers sketchy details, some terrible event in her past erased much of her memories, leaving her with only shadows. Her memories clear around the time she turned 18, when her mother and father were betrayed and killed by her grandfather, and she left home with her twin brother Ancamarath to search for their elder brother, Ancalagon. A year later, she found herself alone, the victim of repeated brutalities, her brothers killed in their search for revenge, and her true love unreachably distant. After much soul searching, she agreed to come to Cove, hoping for a brighter future. Her hopes were dashed by the church, and she fled, fearing harsh repercussions, only finding out of the events leading to the collapse of the church after reading a heartfelt public letter from her love, who she believed lost to her forever.
 Laurina is a small, delicately pretty girl with child-like eyes, self effacing to the point of crippling shyness, which is compounded by life's somewhat harsh treatment of her. She is nervous and servile around people, owing to her past, and her deeply shrouded childhood. She does not trust easily or fully, the exception being her beloved, who she views as her sanctuary, hiding behind his strength in front of others. She rarely speaks to strangers, unless addressed directly, and much of the time, it is left to those who know her to answer in her stead.
