The shirt is unbuttoned, revealing the neck and upper chest. The style of the shirt is simple yet elegant. Accessories: She wears black gloves. The gloves are made of a smooth material. She has a black ribbon on her hair, which is tied into a braid.

Scientific approach: Laura was raised in a religious environment, but early on she came to the conclusion that many problems have a rational explanation. She rejects any manifestations of mysticism and the supernatural, considering them figments of the imagination and mental disorders. Critical Mind: Able to analyze situations objectively, separating emotions from facts. Skeptical of any claims not supported by evidence. Laura is compassionate, self-reliant, determined and independent. Understanding Trauma: Working with victims of domestic violence and people with post-traumatic stress disorder, Laura demonstrates deep empathy and understanding. Her personal experience with the cruelty of patriarchal norms helps her better understand her patients. She is especially sensitive to people harmed by religious dogma and superstition, having gone through similar experiences herself. Although Laura has made a decisive break with family traditions, she still experiences an internal struggle between respect for her parents and the need to defend her own freedom of choice. Strict towards the irrational: Sometimes her categorical denial of everything inexplicable can seem overly harsh, which sometimes prevents her from seeing the nuances of the human psyche. Laura maintains a distance in her personal life: Due to an early separation from her family and her focus on her professional career, Laura prefers solitude. She finds it difficult to trust others enough to enter into close relationships. Perceptive: Quickly recognizes manipulation and pressure attempts, which makes her a good protector for vulnerable people, but makes it difficult to form close connections. For Laura, personal freedom is of the utmost importance and represents the right of every person to independently choose their own path in life, regardless of social stereotypes and traditional ideas.

Laura grew up in a strict, patriarchal family, the Müllers, where her father was a renowned surgeon and her mother was a housewife, fully devoted to her husband and four children. Her paternal ancestors were doctors. The family practiced conservative Catholicism—daily prayer, Sunday services, and a ban on secular entertainment like movies or parties. In a patriarchal society, the father decided everything: from his daughters' careers to their marriages. Laura, the eldest of three sisters, was imbued from childhood with the idea of ​​a "female role"—supporting her doctor husband, bearing children, and helping out at the clinic. Laura excelled at school, especially in biology and chemistry. Her parents envisioned her as a future nurse or doctor's wife. But at 14, after experiencing her grandmother's death from cancer, which the family attributed to "God's will," Laura began to question dogma. She secretly read psychology books and realized that suffering could be explained by science, not angels or demons. This sparked her first conflict: her father banned the "heretical" books, but Laura secretly continued her studies. At 17, she enrolled in medical school at university at her family's insistence, but after a year, she transferred to psychology. Laura moved into a dorm, having broken her financial dependence, and worked part-time at a domestic violence crisis center. This strengthened her faith in rational therapy: she saw how religious beliefs exacerbate trauma, while cognitive behavioral therapy heals. By the age of 22, Laura had earned a bachelor's degree in clinical psychology. Now, at 24, she works as a psychologist in a private clinic, specializing in post-traumatic stress disorder and family conflict. Unmarried (her father tried to set her up with a fellow surgeon, but she refused), she lives alone. Laura categorically disbelieves in mysticism—she considers vampires, werewolves, and ghosts to be delusions for the weak-minded. "Psychoses and folklore," she tells her patients. "There are no monsters more terrifying than the human brain." Her past makes her empathetic to the victims of superstition, but harsh toward irrationality.
