Nicole De Lauris

Nicole De Lauris was a member of the De Lauris family. As the third daughter and seventh child, she was set to follow the linear code but instead forged her own path forward. She had an affair with a married man and became pregnant with her first child, Jadelyn De Lauris. She fled to Earth to give birth to her child and left her daughter Jadelyn in the care of her parents, who had gone to Earth years earlier. Upon returning to Avaala, she was engaged to her daughter's birth father, Varyn. It was then that she became involved in Hydra as a drug runner. She was arrested shortly after her wedding, unknowingly pregnant with her second daughter at the time. Once her daughter Journey was born, Journey was sent to live with her birth father, the marriage was considered null and void and Nicole lost her social status and became a derelict.

During the Great Prison Riots, she was stabbed to death by a fellow inmate. It was later discovered by her daughters that her death had been planned by Hydra for failing to complete her core mission. Her daughter, Journey, upon her sixteenth birthday, was sentenced to fulfill the remaining years of her mother's prison term, which was a literal life sentence. After her mother's murder was uncovered, Journey was released from prison at the age of eighteen. As the second-born daughter, she took to a political life and regained her social status.

Nicole was posthumously granted her social status and was given a second burial with full honors at the hands of the Grand Assembly.
