In most of her lives, Laura Drake was a largely solitary individual but for her close association (whether it be friendship or romance) with [[Jenny Everywhere]]. She was driven, but prone to panicking in a crisis and jumping to conclusions. Her confidence in the superiority of her own goals and strategies made her largely heedless of the law and of the potential consequences of breaking it, even to a fault.

She once invented a [[Heat Ray]] which she planned to give to Jenny as a present, so that she could use it to toast bread “on the go”. One day, before Laura had gotten the chance to give her the Ray, Jenny disappeared without warning (as, that week, all of her incarnations across the [[Multiverse]] had been zapped off to a [[secret realm beyond Time]] for their own good). Panicking, Laura built an interdimensional portal to try and find her (using “borrowed” Altern resources). After catching glimpses of hundreds of Jenny's other incarnations' past exploits, she came to a halt in [[the Void]] where she joined forces with [[Jenny Anywhere#Looking for Everywhere|Jenny Anywhere]], [[Hakhe#Looking for Everywhere|Hakhe]] and [[Jenny Somewhere#Shifting into the Infinite|Jenny Somewhere]] to enter [[the Infinite]]. After they did not find any trace of Jenny Everywhere even there, they made their way to the seaside town to “mourn” Jenny, beginning to accept that she may be gone for good. There, they were attacked by [[the Fallen One]] but managed to defeat it on their own, just in time for Jenny to triumphantly return to reality, leading to celebrations.

=== In the Collapsed Cosmos === | |||
After the [[Multiverse]] collapsed into a single [[Collapsed Cosmos]], Laura was, at first, [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny]]'s friend and roommate in a 21st-century city. She studied quantum computing, and told Jenny to find her a book about [[time-crystal]]s at the [[library]]. After returning with the book following a reality accident, Jenny began flirting with Laura and almost slept with her, but they were interrupted by [[Glendalf]] coming to recruit Jenny on an adventure. Due to the instability of reality, as Jenny became focused on the visitor and his [[Orc]] assistants, Laura vanished. | |||
She resurfaced at a later point in Jenny's adventure, now appearing as “a woman in a sort of deep blue Napoleonic military uniform with a white cape, holding [[Laura Drake's sword|a sword]] at her side”. She beat Jenny, Glendalf and the Orcs to the manor of [[Billionaire (The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere)|the billionaire]] who held the [[Legendary Time Crystal]] in her vault. Sneaking in disguised as one of the billionaire's robot servants, Laura killed her and made her way to the vault, where she took the Crystal. She intended to use it to build the Multiverse anew, but not as it was — bringing forth a new order bowed to her, so as to ensure that nothing like the collapse would happen again. Jenny, who wanted to use the Crystal to ''properly'' restore infinity, dueled Laura for the crystal; their fighting caused reality to become even more unstable, with their surroundings flashing between all the places Jenny and Laura had fought before across the Multiverse; finally, the current narrative shattered entirely, with Jenny waking up in a different time and place with not a trace of Laura.
