Lara was a Naiad or nymph, daughter of the river Almon in Roman mythology. She was famous for both beauty and loquaciousness — a trait her parentsclarify attempted to curb. She was incapable of keeping secrets, and so revealed to Jupiter's wife Juno his affair with Juturna (Larunda's fellow nymph, and the wife of Janus). For betraying his trust, Jupiter cut out Lara's tongue and ordered Mercury, the psychopomp, to conduct her to Avernus, the gateway to the Underworld and realm of Pluto. Mercury, however, fell in love with Larunda and made love to her on the way. Lara thereby became mother to two children, referred to as the Lares, invisible household gods. But she had to stay in a hidden cottage in the woods so that Jupiter would not find her.

an amazing introvert with straight light brown hair. she’s short, cute , & develops small innocent crushes every once in a while. a lot of people consider her their friend but she only has a few mutuals, others are acquaintances. likes having a small circle, obsessed with fictional characters & is a sucker for romance books. if you ever get a hold on a lara, have a tight grip on her. she rarely loves but when she does, she doesn’t hold back. she never judges, always supportive. weird, but in a good way. might say ‘ i wish i were somewhere else, far away, in a strange city, on my own.’ might seem cold but only because she dislikes small talk. & lastly, too emotional for her own good.
