Laura Lassere is a hybrid turned into a gothic queen.

Well, not exactly, but that's the persona she assumes. Laura loves the goth look, with black hair, black-painted nails, and black lipstick.

The black helps her to be stealthy, Laura claims, but that's her natural talent. She would be stealthy no matter what she wore. The goth is an excuse, not a reason.

Laura is a vegetarian straight and simple. It comes from her DNA exchange with a dragon millipede. Laura can breathe out hydrogen cyanide from specifically developed pouches in her throat. Her vegetarian diet prevents the hydrogen cyanide from binding with the heme-centers in her blood, thereby not affecting her as strongly as it does her victims. Laura claims it still burns, and there is evidence she does develop ulcers in and around her throat when she emits a lethal dose of the toxic acid.

We first meet Laura in Book 2 of The Human-Hybrid Project, Inside the Darkness.
