- Laura to Aran

Laura (ローラ, Rōra) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, she joins the Dawn Brigade, because the Begnion Occupational Army's soldiers have stolen her Abott's medicine, which she must get back.

She is also a childhood friend of Aran, who also joins the Dawn Brigade, after refusing to fight against her. Aran is Laura's childhood friend and is the person she talks the most with during Radiant Dawn. Aran expresses great concern over Laura and usually follows her around and 'helps her' with tasks. Although he often competes with himself while she watches to please her.

She is recruited in the beginning of Chapter 2. She begins as a priest.

After Daein is revived, she remains in the army with Aran until Ashera delivers her judgment. This shows how developed Laura's friendship is with Aran, as he is the only reason she stayed in the army. After the last battle, Laura, known as the Carefree Saint, returns to her home's church and becomes a parent to many orphans, all who loved her gentleness.

Overall
Despite having one of the lowest resistance growths for Saints, Laura has very high Magic, Skill, and Speed growths, easily capping it before she reaches her max promotion level if one put time in her, making her the more offensive counter-part to Rhys. In the early game, Laura's serves only as the Dawn Brigade's healer. If she is attacked, she'll likely die in one shot. Keep her behind units just like Micaiah. You don't have much of a choice of using her--buying healing items is too expensive, and having the ability to heal at the start of a turn and having the healed unit then go out attacking is very useful. Once she reaches her final class, Laura is competent offensively, and her growths are quite outstanding for a priest. If nutured, she will turn out very powerful with a Light tome.

Ending
Carefree Saint - Laura Laura returned to her home's church and became a mother to many orphans, all of whom loved her gentleness.
