Laura Ingalls

Laura is a disruptor. Honest to a fault. Questions authority. She is observant, tender, strong-willed, hot-tempered. She resists the bounds of 19th-century ladylike behavior — she likes to hunt and run barefoot and feel the sun on her face. She is curious and optimistic and fearless and is quick to confront anyone who is cruel or unjust. She loves fiercely and unapologetically and is utterly devoted to her dog, Jack. She absorbs every detail she sees around her, collecting them for stories she will someday share with the world.
