Lauren “Lorena” Watson is a fourth year fourth year. She attended Davidson Term 1 2016 where she met Shelby Balmer which would spark a friendship to last four years. Unfortunately, Lorena was waitlisted for East Term 2, so she had to attend Rice Term 2 in 2017. However, it resulted her being in the best class ever (Global Policy) and in her meeting Darya and Lucy (The Book of Dev). She then attended East Term 1 in 2018 where she met Taylor Krick (Sockeisha) and was reunited with Shelby Balmer. She got to be roommates with Megan Vaz (The Pimp Robe) and THE Alex the Great. She is incredibly thankful for her religious experience. However, the greatest bond that Lorena ever made was with Taylor Krick during her time during RevT. Taylor took Lorena under her wing where they both showed eachother true “horsegirl” spirit. Taylor Krick passed down Sockeisha to her daughter on stage as both of them cried. Going into fourth year, Lauren asked to be called Lorena since that’s what her closest friends called her. She currently is aspiring to be an Admiral in the USCG and is taking PCULT. Lorena gained massive bbo energy her fourth year which resulted in her snatching Connor Deagle (The Pink Shirt) and leading Vamos a La Playa on the top of the stairs. Lorena passed down Sockeisha to Ava Roark on stage whilst crying. She then immediately called Taylor, whilst crying. At Denny’s, Yaya married Lorena in order to become Ava’s step-mom. Despite her being a known rule-follower, Lorena participated in The Party in Room 319 on her last night as her first rule broken at TiP.

Family Lineage

Lorena is a part of the Sockeisha family line. This means that Stef is her great-great-grandmother, Grace is her great-grandmother, Lizzie is her grandmother, Taylor is her mother, and Ava is her daughter. Due to Lizzie being the Blazemistress to the second Blazemaster, Lorena is a part of the “Blazefam.” This makes Ethan her grandfather, Reece her uncle, Garrick her cousin, KT her first cousin once removed, Will Snider her uncle, Sam King her cousin, and Katherine Lawson her cousin. In addition, Taylor also adopted a second daughter, Sydney, who is the aunt to Ava. Lorena also adopted Lily Martin, which makes things REALLY complicated sense EVERYONE adopted Lily Martin. At Denny’s, Lorena married YaYa Kagiliery (), making Yaya Ava’s step-mom. Lorena was also in a relationtip with Connor Deagle, which might make him Ava’s father, but that’s pretty unclear. Yaya and Lorena share Ava (almost equally) since Ava is both the holder of Sockeisha and The Pink Stilettos. Although, let it be clear that Ava is Lorena’s biological daughter, whilst Yaya married in.
