Biography
Bog Laurel was born to a failing Bastion in the Nether. The leadership, in it's desperation, would make use of child labour to scout out potential locations for food and conquest in order to restore glory to the Piglin community. Many of Laurel's childhood friends and peers would fall during this time due to the harsh conditions for farming and hunting food, and the nether wastes spreading as a result of desertification within the dimension. As a result of the deaths of her Sounder from complications associated with starvation and wasting, she would go on to abandon the Bastion and spent a portion of her late Gilthood hunting and gathering in the wastes, building up independence and muscle mass.

Laurel was driven out of the nether following an unlucky brush with a ghast flock- having taken the first portal she saw, and spilling out over the desert sands. On her attempt to return, she found the portal had been extinguished on the other side as a result of the ghast attacks. If the Overworld proved to be more fruitful than the Nether, she intended to stay.

Catching word of a nation not at war, she spent several days journeying south in search of the isolationist Kingdom of Aurora, where after some brief scrutiny she was allowed to settle into the smaller but culturally rich town of Heart's Bay. Most of the delays were due to issues with the language barrier, as Bog Laurel's skill with the common language was not at an entirely fluent level. She has most recently joined the Auroran Fishing Guild, and seeks to build up wealth to support her search for answers.
