Rambling Band

Laurel has the questionable honour of being the first Mary Sue ever recorded to be slain by Agents Jay and Acacia. She was written by Queen of Rock and appeared in one story in Lord of the Rings.

Character history
Laurel is a punk rocker from Earth who was transported to Middle-Earth along with the rest of her band. In Rivendell the trio become guests of Elrond and Arwen arranges for them to be dressed in "locally appropriate" clothing: a gown and robes. At the Council the band plays a rock song which mesmerizes the other attendees. Even Gandalf cheers when the band is done playing – though, of course, that may be in celebration of the end of the song rather than the song itself. Both Legolas and Boromir develop quite a thing for Laurel. The band joins the Fellowship when it leave Rivendell at dawn.

Character demise
Shortly after leaving Rivendell the Agents, in the guise of orcs, intervene. Laurel is charged with the joining the Fellowship, introducing twenty-first century knowledge to Middle-Earth and interfering with the characters of at least ten people. The Sue was shot with a poisoned arrow. Her two band-members were shot in the head. The corpses were fed to the Watcher in the Water.
