Laura is a first-year student at the IS academy and is the IS cadet representative from Germany. A genetically-engineered super-soldier, Laura is a member of the German IS special forces, Schwarzer Hase (Black Rabbit) and holds the rank of second lieutenant. She has red eyes and long silver hair. Her most distinct feature is a black eye patch covering her left eye. Her left eye glows yellow, the result of a failed nano-machine experiment that was meant to help her pilot an IS better. Laura was under Chifuyu's tutelage when the latter was in the German army, and holds Chifuyu in high regard as Chifuyu helped her and was her role model when she suffered a depression for not being the strongest. It should be noted that her current name is actually a code name given to her by the German military and her real name remains unknown.
Laura's original purpose for coming to the IS academy is to punish Ichika, who she blames for his sister withdrawing from the 2nd IS International Fighting Tournament. She was unaware that Ichika has been kidnapped and that Chifuyu had withdrawn in order to go save him. She at first easily defeats Ling and Cecilia but struggles against the team play of Ichika and Charlotte and is beaten by Charlotte during the class tournament. In desperation, she goes berserk defeating both Charlotete and Ichika, but is then stopped by Ichika who also calms and console her in the Inter-IS subspace. After consoling her in the sub space, she realizes how special Ichika really is and falls in love with him. Upon learning Ichika's strength is his freedom to choose and helping those around him and Chifuyu's advice, Laura decides to become Ichika's bodyguard to protect him against the other girls by kissing him in front of his class, declaring Ichika will be her wife (a misunderstanding of her knowledge of Japanese culture) and she won't accept any objections. Laura pilots the Schwarzer Regen (シュヴァルツェア レーゲン,Shuvarutsea Rēgen) IS, a medium-to-long-range artillery-type IS.
