Editing Lauren Snyder (section)

==Abilities==
She is bound to a [[familiar]] named Manu, a simple [[spirit]] poisoned by a sliver of something [[Demon|dark]].<ref>Lauren Snyder had picked a familiar.  When she couldn’t manage it, she’d bound it inside herself.<br><br>Now that her head was cracked open, it could crawl forth from her heart.  A simple spirit given physical shape.  Nothing complex, nothing overwrought.  Something animal.  The horror didn’t have the senses to see the particulars.<br><br>But inside the spirit was a sliver of something.  It had bitten into something very, ''very'' bad, and that something had poisoned it.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/21/break-4/ Excerpt] from [[Break 4]]</ref> Her tie to her [[familiar]] had caused her to lose much of her strength.<ref>“No.  I don’t have the strength for a con.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/21/break-4/ Excerpt] from [[Break 4]]</ref>

She can not properly die, when killed her familiar is instead released from within her body. When her familiar is defeated it returns to Lauren, reviving her.<ref>“Manu is still a spirit, still feels, still doesn’t want to die.  So it falls back if it starts getting too drained.  If I die, Manu comes out, if Manu dies, I come out, but beneath it all, feeding it all, that flow of divine power that’s been forced to constantly flow.  Keeps us alive, even if it doesn’t keep me very strong or well.  I think it’d be satisfied to leave me withered, broken, and immobile, so long as it could keep drinking from the well.  I’m hoping to avoid that.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/28/break-5/ Excerpt] from [[Break 5]]</ref>
