Jill, Lauren, and Kevin

Jill, Lauren, and Kevin were all bird laguz who knew Fred as he was growing up.

Lauren
Lauren was a Royal Heronness. She was the cousin of Rafiel, Reyson, and Leanne. Early in her life, she could be described as a "bratty teenage girl", but eventually she grew out of it. She teased Fred the day he left, and that night the Serenes Massacre happened. She quickly detested all beorc, and enjoyed saying things to spite them. Despite her natural fragility that is becoming of a heron, she hardly acted "proper". She was loud, not quiet, and often self-centered. Despite always about to get people to start a fight, she was sensitive to violence like all Herons and quickly broke down.

Eventually, Lauren would be tempted- and give in to that temptation- of using Seid Magic. It quickly began to corrupt her, and she sought a way to change herself back. She was bitter, but did mature, letting go of her hate of beorc by the end of it all. She would be deeply disturbed when she ran into, and saved, a young boy who first asked if she was "an angel", and when she replied no he said "oh, you must be a sub-human".

During the War of Heroes
Lauren took up blade, and fought untransformed throughout the War of Heroes. She fought for The Originals, and dueled with Miscale- both women noted that men on their side were calling the other "Angel of Death", and felt like they were outmatched by eachother- frustating to both. She also explained to Skyler what happened to Dale.
