Rambling Band

Laurel has the questionable honor 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 was a punk rocker from Earth who was transported to Middle-earth along with the rest of her band. In Rivendell the trio became guests of Elrond, and Arwen arranged for them to be dressed in "locally appropriate" clothing: a gown and robes. At the Council the band played a rock song which mesmerized the other attendees. Even Gandalf cheered when the band was done playing&mdash;though, of course, that may have been in celebration of the end of the song rather than the song itself. Both Legolas and Boromir developed quite a thing for Laurel. The band joined the Fellowship when it left Rivendell at dawn.

Character Demise
Shortly after leaving Rivendell the Agents, in the guise of orcs, intervened. 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.

Charges
Laurel was charged with the joining the Fellowship, introducing twenty-first century knowledge to Middle-earth and interfering with the characters of at least ten people.
