Personality:  The shrew.  Lauren is a confident woman who knows what she wants.  As a reporter, she knows how to be fake in order to squeeze information out of people.  She often acts syrupy nice, but that's not her true nature.  Lauren has a big ego and can be cruel to those she considers to be below her.  Around people whose opinions she cares nothing about, she'll openly state her opinions, which can get her into trouble.  She's very gossipy and takes a certain pleasure in putting people down.  Although she's used to working long hours, she is a bit lazy and will take shortcuts to getting her work done.  Lauren knows that she's naturally pretty and takes great pride in her appearance.  She's also on the prowl for a man to settle down with. 

Physical:  Lauren is well-built and proportioned.  Simply put, she's hot and she knows it.  She has big brown eyes and brunette hair is never out of place.  She doesn't feel right without make-up, and even in the wilderness, she cakes it on.  She is in good shape and is pretty atheletic.  Lauren's voice is deep for a girl's, and often is falsely sugary sweet.
