11
12	A 16-years-old teenager living on a farm and unaware of the Underrealm. She takes in Smile Dog to patch him up when she discovers him outside her yard.
13	----
14
15	* DestructiveRomance: Her relationship with Jake is anything but healthy, as he gaslights her and pressures her into getting a job despite she's only 16 years old.
16	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Instantly became friends with Smile, though Smile doesn't like her. She refused to shoot him when her mother told her to, and took him inside to patch him up.
17	* NiceGirl
18	* PluckyGirl: She doesn't take her mother Samantha's advice to shoot the illusion-formed Smile Dog very well, and does not like being ordered around by Jake.
19	* ThePollyanna: It takes ''a lot'' to break her spirit and optimism. She is implied to have low self-esteem as Jake tries to force her to help out her mom and get a job, getting gaslit by him into thinking she should be more helpful by providing more for her family.
20	* OhCrap: Lara's reaction to discovering her water-well, apparently constructed by her grandpa, got damaged by Smile Dog's arrival.
21	* PortalPool: The old water-well at Lara's farm is actually one of the few old Earth-Wells that the Creepypasta monsters use as transportation. It was also apparent owned or constructed by her grandpa, if her massive [[OhCrap reaction to its destruction upon Smile's arrival]] is anything to go by.
22	* Tragic Keepsake: She keeps her (presumably) late-grandfather's old story-book, which she reads on her way to church.
23	** Considering it contains an old story detailing his experience of hearing a strange creature lurking in the well, it may contain knowledge of the Under-Realm's existence. Whether or not Lara will discover the Under-Realm herself is yet to be seen...

27	[[caption-width-right:339:"Thanks, babe. Your moms cooking is better anyway."]]
28	Lara's toxic boyfriend.
29	----
30	* DestructiveRomance: His relationship with Lara is anything ''but'' a happy one.
31	* HateSink: Judging by the comment section of any comic he's in, he's definitely meant to be this. Even ''Comickit'' doesn't seem too attached to him.
32	* {{Jerkass}}: Jake certainly is one, but it's a little bit more complex than most examples in the series. It's one thing that Lara's mom is having trouble on work and it would be a help if Lara worked to help her mom out (although she is a little too young even get a proper paid job, being 16), and Jake points that out, but not in the correct way. One thing is to support your girlfriend when she's passing through something like this and maybe kindly comment and encourage her to get a job, but Jake is pushing and rushing her to do it, because if she doesn't get a job, in his mind, then she's a worthless piece of trash, and it's very obvious Lara has self-esteem issues and he is using it to his advantage to make her do what he wants. Also, he says things like "at least you're doing something good", which just hurts Lara more. While his ideas of to always have something to do, support your family, get his girlfriend to eat are correct, he isn't showing them on the correct form, he is being passive-aggressive at a person with low self-esteem. Kinda pushing her to follow the way he thinks and not letting her be.
33	* KilledOffForReal: Comickit has heavily implied [[spoiler: Jeff or Smile will eventually kill him]].
