Laurie is Rowan's girlfriend.

Personality

She is a passionate advocate for euthanasia despite Kennet's conservative leanings.<ref>“What’s the paper?” Lucy asked.

Laurie perked up, peeled away a page from the stack, and handed it over. “Elder care, and trying to have a forum to discuss alternative options.”

Verona snorted. “I’ve been thinking that if I got old and helpless, I’d want to do the thing where I get put on an ice floe and pushed out to sea.”

“If you do half the stuff you’ve talked about doing, you’re going to lead a really weird life,” Lucy told her friend.

“Like I’m not going to already? Look at the last week and a half.”

“Point.”

“The ice floe thing isn’t that far off,” Laurie chimed in. “We’re so dangerously close to a point in time when the boomer population is going to be in senior care, and we don’t have the staff for it, we don’t have the capacity, we don’t have the other resources. Rather than a cold and lonely death, wouldn’t it be better to give more options to someone who’s old and in pain? Let them pass, surrounded by family?”

“You’re going to have a steep uphill battle bringing that up in Kennet,” Rowan said.

“You think I don’t know?” Laurie asked. “I grew up here.”

“I know, but-”

“I would rather have a harder conversation somewhere like here, where I’m changing one mind, than go somewhere like, I don’t know, Toronto? And have a hundred people who already agree with me nodding their heads and giving me a thumbs up.” - Excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.7</ref>

Relationships

She is currently in a relationship with Rowan Kelly, despite being togeather they are described as being "snippy" whilst in each others company.<ref>- Excerpt from Cutting Class 6.2</ref>

Appearance

Laurie is described as slim and dark haired.<ref>The woman, twenty, slim and dark haired, was already standing in the front hall. Laurie reached in to hold the screen door and let Avery squeeze through. Avery ducked her head down, feeling heat at her face as she had to pass in such close proximity to the woman. It wasn’t that her brother’s girlfriend was her type, but Avery’s height put her head at the same level as Laurie’s chest, which meant she had to work to not headbutt her, and she was very cognizant of the smell of her shampoo and the fact she was wearing a low-cut top. - Excerpt from Lost for Words 1.4</ref>
