Laurie

Laurie was a contestant on Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race and was paired with Miles as a part of The Vegans.

Personality
Laurie is a nature-loving vegan do-gooder with an "Earth first" attitude. She is a serene person but any perceived injustice against nature will send her into an emotional tizzy. Laurie and her friend Miles have traveled extensively and learned a deep respect for different cultures as well as their local flora and fauna. While Laurie can be somewhat aloof and pretentious at times, her tree-hugging heart is in the right place.

Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race
Laurie and her partner Miles are introduced in None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 1. They cause some trouble early on after Laurie tries to stop cars from passing the street because of a butterfly. Laurie explains that she and Miles are planning to fund their favorite charities if they win the money. They choose to do scares for the challenge and appear to be terrified. They manage to complete the challenge and book themselves onto the second flight to Morocco.

In None Down, Eighteen to Go - Part 2, they are able to complete the first challenge with a breeze due to Laurie's excessive knowledge of spices. Due to refusing to ride their camel, they fall into the final three teams yet to reach the Chill Zone. Due to their motivation to win and because of the LARPers stopping to supposedly sabotage the other teams, they are able to reach the Chill Zone in time and get sixteenth place. In French is an Eiffel Language, Laurie and Miles fall behind after they both decide to pedal the moped in order to save its fuel. When they arrive in Paris, Laurie draws the caricature (depicting Miles as a flower) allowing them to move on to the next challenge. While they make their way into the catacombs, they become the main target of Gerry and Pete's strategy of using another team to help them find their way out to the cheese pile. Unluckily from them, mislead by Owen's stink. They take a long time to find their way through the catacombs but are able to reach the Chill Zone before the tennis rivals and get fourteenth place.

Laurie doesn't have a big role in the following episode, but is shocked to hear her partner scratching sharks out of her preservation list. They come in eleventh place. In Bjorken Telephone, Laurie and Miles arrive to the geyser field on the second bus. Laurie is able to get the Icelandic phrase correct on her first attempt and board the first flight to the ice caves. During the Either/Or challenge; Laurie and Miles choose to dig for fossils. They manage to free their fossil using "reiki energy." As they push it back to the entrance, Laurie's hands get cold and they take a moment to thank the fossil spirits. However, this causes them to lose the fossil and it ends up being found by Dwayne and Junior. At the Chill Zone, Laurie discovers Dwayne had taken her fossil, but Don refuses to let him give it back to her, causing her to lash out at Dwayne. Realizing they don't have the time to dig out another fossil, Laurie and Miles are forced to take the second challenge; eating the Icelandic feast. The two reluctantly eat the meal (which mostly consisted of meat) and race to the Carpet, but lose to the Rockers and end up in last place. After Don reveals that it was a non-elimination leg, Laurie becomes furious that she ate animals for nothing, and viciously attacks the host, giving him a black eye. In Brazilian Pain Forest, Laurie and Miles are on the second flight to Brazil, but end up taking off first due to Dwayne's fossil. Expressing remorse and grief over eating animals to stay in the game, Laurie and Miles agree to put what happened behind them. In Brazil, the two face the Botch or Watch challenge; putting your hand in a glove of bullet ants. However, Mickey accidentally knocks her head into the glove, causing her face to swell up from the stings. With Laurie incapacitated, Miles is forced to take charge, however the two fall behind after swinging on a vine and hitting the side of a cliff. Laurie and Miles manage to find a tip and move on to the second part of the challenge to make a head and tail piece costume. With Laurie's face swollen, Miles makes the costume herself. The two manage to hang glide off the cliff and land in first place; however Don gives them a 30-minute penalty since Miles made both parts of the costume. Right before their penalty ends however, Rock and Spud come in 14th, eliminating them from the Race. As they walk away, Miles tries to cheer her up, but reminding her of the heart she ate, she tells her to shut up.

Laurie and Miles are mentioned after their elimination in A Tisket, a Casket, I'm Gonna Blow a Gasket, with Don stating that the plane taking them home crash landed on an island inhabited by cannibals. It is uncertain if they survived or not.
