Laurance

   

Biography
Laurance is one of the main characters of Aphmau's famous series, Minecraft Diaries Season 1: The Rise of Phoenix Drop, and Minecraft Diaries Season 2: The War of the Magi. He was the Head Guard of the village of Meteli and he has a adoptive sister/friend named Cadenza. He decided to become a guard in Phoenix Drop because he fell in love with Aphmau and was not afraid to tell her his feelings.But then Castor (The Chicken Shaman) was captured by the Shadow Lord and was held prisoner. Laurance agreed to go to the nether with Aphmau but was only caught while holding off the Shadow Lord in order for Castor and Aphmau to escape. He was then put into a torture routine and was turned into a shadow knight. Later, he tells Aphmau that the only reason he did not fully succumb to the Shadow Lord is because he kept thinking of her. Then his best friend, a Wyvern named Ungrth, came and saved him- but, sadly, Ungrth died after breaking through the realm barriers. After the Wyverns made and grave for him and Ungrth's soul was later used to make the Irene statue. Laurance is still a guard and his love is higher than ever for Aphmau. He was adopted by the Lord of Meteli, Hayden,. Hayden was then thought to be assassinated but was only a cruel trick by the shadow knights. Hayden actually passed away in his sleep at a later date. Another one of Laurance's best friends is named Garroth, the Head Guard of Phoenix Drop. Garroth treats him like his brother and Dante does the same. Laurence likes to tease and play pranks on Garroth about his crush on Aphmau. In another one of Aphmau's Minecraft roleplays. It is unknown what his parentage is. I beleive he came from the same village as Cadenza, which burned down.

Early Life
Laurance was an orphan before he was adopted by the Lord of Meteli, Hayden, who took him in and treated him like his son. Cadenza is Laurance's adoptive sister, which means that they have a fairly close relationship/connection. Back then Sasha was the head guard and had a close relationship with Laurance. Castor, Sasha and Laurance went in the Nether a very long time ago but Castor and Laurance were forced to leave Sasha behind when a ghast blew up the bridge. Sasha was caught (like Laurance) and was turned into a shadow knight. She is now one of the Shadow Lord's most loyal shadow knight. After Castor and Laurance escaped the Nether Laurance was made the head guard of Metali. Then that was when he met Aphmau.

Appearance
In the early episodes he had long amber hair, which was dyed by Cadenza and green eyes. He wore a white outfit with dark cuffs and gold sections.

It is unknown what he looked like when he was a Shadow Knight, but we assume he had the classic Shadow Knight armour, but his hair and eyes stayed the same.

When he was blinded, his eye color changed to a pale grey color/light blue and he wore a tattered blue shirt.

His hair was dyed back to brown (his natural hair color) by Cadenza, and he regained his sight. It was then noted by Aphmau that his eyes had changed to blue.

He wore brown gloves, a white undershirt, a blue jacket, and black pants before getting new armor.

When he got a new armor set, given to by Katelyn, it was a brown chainmail with a matching emerald green cape. It also came with a feather on top. His new weapon was also given to him by Katelyn, which is an emerald great sword which was blessed by a priest of one of the Divine Warriors. He also uses an emerald shield.

Personality
Laurance is loyal, kind and hot-headed. He's always jumping to conclusions, but it's just in his nature to be careful. He admitted in an episode that he would put himself in front of any sword to defend Aphmau from harm. He is very stubborn, persistent and funny. In the 100th episode, he also reverted Garroth back to normal with some words of wisdom. He can make things awkward at times by flirting with Aphmau, and the table, but he will do anything for those he cares about. He is also a playful person and always seems to have a smile on his face, and he cheers people up during their darkest hours. In episode 7 of Season 2, Cadenza stated he was playing the "nice guy" with Aphmau and how he never thinks about his own feelings and has always helped other people be happy. Cadenza was also angry that Aphmau gave him never gave him a chance. Cadenza said she just wanted Laurance to be happy, and Laurance replied saying, "I'm happy just to be around her." In another episode, Vincent (It's discovered he is also a Shadow Knight that killed his lord, that was also his brother.) and Laurance got into a fight, since Vincent called Laurance a "Premature Shadow Knight"- which got Laurance so angry he pulled out his sword and met Vincent in the middle of the room, swords pushing against each other. Aphmau broke it up by asking him to go outside and take a breather.

Ships
A major ship that includes Laurance is Laurmau. (Laurance x Aphmau) Laurance has always been a very big cassanova, admitting his feelings for Aphmau frequently, but she keeps changing the subject. They are currently in a war with Garmau (Garroth X Aphmau), which is the most popular of ships, though some people are abandoning it since Garroth isn't in the realm currently. However the Aarmau ship has arrived.

~Laurelyn- Katelyn and Laurance. There isn't a confirmed ship name, but since Katelyn confessed to thinking Laurance is hot, it started blooming recently in S2.

~Laurdenza-I don't know when this came up, but it's kind of popular. They're adoptive siblings. (Laurance and Cadenza)

~Laurable-This is another popular ship, but not as popular as Laurmau. It involves Laurance and the table, which appeared in episode 83. Laurable is competing with Tabmau, which is Aphmau and the table, but the table has yet to confess its feelings to ethier Laurance or Aphmau.

~Gaurence~ This became known when Laurence made a joke about him Kissing Garroth and the one of the side Stories when Garroth had him pinned against the wall
