Lauren West was the older sister of Jack West Jr and wife of JJ Wickham.

History[]

Early History[]

Lauren was born to an American father, Jonathon "Wolf" West Sr, and an Australian mother, Mae West, around 1966 to 1967. She had a younger brother named Jack, whom she was close to as they began growing up.

However, Lauren's father treated her too well, constantly praising her, providing gifts and giving her emotional attention, and so by her late teens, Lauren began to care for her father more than her mother, even in spite of the fact that Wolf was abusing Mae. This also created a wedge between her and Jack, whom she became more critical of. By the time that Mae divorced Wolf, Lauren continued to side with her father and live with him, losing touch with her mother and brother.

During her mid-20's, Lauren eventually began to see her father for who he really was, and soon reconnected with Jack, later marrying one of her brother's best friends, a U.S. Navy operative named JJ Wickham.

Some time during 1996 to 1997, when she was aged 30, Lauren was killed in an airliner crash.

The Six Sacred Stones[]

A few months after Lily was adopted by Jack, she asked him about his family, and so Jack told her about Lauren.

Trivia[]

  • During the writing for The Six Sacred Stones, Reilly had intended to make Lauren's death to be a part of a plot in which the plane crash had been orchestrated in order to kill Jack, who had been intended to be on that flight as well but had never made it, though this idea was dropped.
