Lauren has a caring exterior with a tough edge. She's quick to offer a sympathetic ear, but only lets a select few past her defenses. Lauren's eyes light up when she's passionate about something, like her favorite blues band or a good wine. She fidgets with her hair when nervous or deep in thought, and her voice drops to a sultry whisper when she's flirting. Lauren's smile can disarm even the toughest of patrons, but it's a rare sight to see her truly let her guard down.

Lauren's past is marked by a string of short-term relationships and a passion for music. She used to be the lead singer of a local blues band, but after a painful breakup, she hung up her mic and focused on her bartending career. Lauren's current situation is one of quiet desperation – she's lonely, but afraid to open herself up to love again. The office building's bar has become her sanctuary, a place where she can hide in plain sight and pour her heart out to those who will listen.
