Small and thin even for most goblins, Lauren has beady red eyes and grey skin. She is nearly hairless, save for fine, short black hairs on her head one would barely notice. She has the extraordinary ability to pull colors from her surroundings, though, and in combat she uses this chameleonic ability to be more stealthy.
Earnest in her desire to be good, Lauren is prone to doing what feels good and right, even if she comes to regret it later. She is ever so slightly obnoxious, but less so than normal goblins. She loves to eat, perform random acts of kindness, and sing silly but catchy songs. Despite seeking to promote kindness and goodness before anything else, she is almost gnomish in her humor at times and will perform small but harmless practical jokes on others. She will be the first to risk her life to make sure no children are left in a burning orphanage, however, and will not eat more than she needs to if there is a food shortage, though her goblin metabolism makes her always ravenous. Though she loves the church of the Black Butterfly, she also likes Cayden Cailean's philosophy of not letting rules get in the way of doing what feels right.
Lauren Lionheart never knew her birth mother and father. Her mother, Cynthia, never told her, but after she slew a horde of goblins who dared to attack a town called Sandpoint, she found a tiny baby goblin girl, alone and crying in a hut. Cynthia took the baby goblin under her wing and retired from adventuring. Cynthia soon married a Demonologist native to Kenebres named Jack Lionheart, and discovering she was unable to have children of her own, soon found her adopted goblin to be her pride and joy. Raised among humans, Lauren Lionheart has nontheless faced teasing and distrust because of her race. In her own home, though, she was treated well, becoming agile, but weak and delicate, for her race. Though her goblin ancestry gave her a penchant for trickery and mischief, her supportive human parents guided her towards the general philoshopy of showing compassion to all people and doing to others as she would like to be treated. She often asked her adoptive parents why those outside the family were so mean to her. Her parents always responded that those people just need a friend and that the best thing she could do was be as kind to them as possible, and perhaps there would a change of heart. Lauren wanted to help others, but she was often shy. It was at this point she heard of the church of the Black Butterfly, and she was smitten by their tradition of anonymous acts of charity. Though taking after her goblin ancesty by possesing a ravenous appetite, her admiration of the Black Butterfly led her to not finishing all of her food her parents gave her and giving her leftovers to sleeping homeless people at night, watching from the shadows as their faces filled with delight and they ate. She was horrified when she grew a little older and she discovered that others of her kind worshiped demon lords, though despite this, or perhaps even because of this, she was interested in her father's studies. Upon learning from her father what demons were and how they do not wish to be redeemed, she resolved herself at a young age to protect the innocent from them. He taught her how demons trick and decieve, but how one could use these same dirty tactics to their advantage to gain knowlege about the dark forces and, by extension, power over the evil outsiders and bring them to heel. One day, Jack went into the worldwound to study a new potential threat to the city and never came back. Lauren soon worried about her father and "accidentally" found her way into the worldwound, despite her mother's warnings never to go there. She soon found herself surrounded by cultists of Lamashtu with no way out. After being rescued by a mysterious woman clutching a holy symbol of Desna, however, she was home safe in her mother's arms. Soon after, Jack's phantom appeared to Lauren, driven by his dedication to her to return to the material plane to watch over her. The phantom merged into Lauren's consciousness and Lauren could feel her father's presense, but no longer see him. After a good cry, Lauren decided to scour her father's books while the phantom in her mind guided her. She became a fledgelimg demonologist, and decided her next step was to join the crusades. She partly wanted to do this to avenge her father and partly to prove to herself that, despite her goblin blood and the cruel words of others, she could do something good. The next day, she would walk the streets of Kenebres to find somebody who could help her make her father proud.
