Raleigh and Laurel

SUMMARY:
   Raleigh and Laurel are inseparable twins who care for each other and depend on each other. Despite how remarkably different they seem, they are almost always acting together. 

   At first glance, Raleigh is by FAR The most expressive of the two, she's very emotional, and has a tendency to over-react to things. She tends to have a more positive demeanor, however if Laurel leaves her side she can quickly descend into anxious thoughts. She always seems to be moving, and is always quick to come up with an idea if you need one, Laurel will insist that Raleigh is one of the most creative creatures you will meet on the entirety of Rift. She's very social, and very socially aware, even if sometimes she struggles to contain her energy. Despite her demeanor, she doesn't actually say very much, her sister tends to do most of the talking, Raleigh struggles to finish her sentences, and mixes up her words often. 

   Unlike Raleigh, Laurel seems to show little to no emotion, she's much more calm and analytical, and much more likely to keep a level head in any situation. They much prefer to keep to themselves, reading a nice book or simply following Raleigh around and letting her lead. Though, when you actually get her talking, you can find she's quite talkative and quite funny, though usually not intentionally. Laurel lacks the social awareness that her sister does, and treats a lot of interactions like there is something to be accomplished, but she really does enjoy talking to people and learning more about their lives. 

   Together they function remarkably well for their age, apart, they quickly fall to pieces.
