Talk:Laura

Voice actor
As unreliable as IMDB is, it claims Jakey Breckennridge is the game show host, implying that that actor is a male. Of course, that's not exactly much proof. However, I'm pretty sure Jakey is also a guy's name. --Faded-Myth 19:12, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Dennis Falt is the voice of the radio host, not Jakey Breckenridge. Florence Minowa was only noted in the Restless Dreams version of Silent Hill 2. The source provided by AlexShepherd does not mention all of the voice actors, so I am unsure of what to think. I do agree that imdb is unreliable also however. --Natza12345 23:04, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * We know that Florence voiced Amy, but we aren't sure 100% of who Jakey voiced. Even though Florence was only mentioned in the Restless Dreams version, that doesn't mean she doesn't have the possibility of being Laura's voice actor (Monica Horgan voiced two people, Mary and Maria). It's a fact that Florence is mentioned as one of SH2's voice actors, but Jakey was also mentioned too. We don't know who Laura's voice actor is, so we should atleast mention Florence's and Jakey's name. If there is definite official proof that Jakey or Florence voiced Laura, feel more than welcome to post it. AlexShepherd 00:04, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I did a Google search on both their names and found nothing except that each was credited to SH2. AlessaGillespie 08:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Florence Minowa is NEVER mentioned in the credits of Silent Hill's main scenario. That name is only mentioned at the end of the end of the Born From A Wish scenario. Just like how Ward Sexton's name is only mentioned at the end of the Born From A Wish Scenario. Why Alex is so dense in the head is still a mystery to me.


 * I'm dense because there may be a possibility that Florence voiced Laura, even though her name isn't mentioned in the main scenario? I don't remember seeing Henry's or Eileen's voice actor in the credits either and if you think about it, Amy and Laura are both little girls. Anyway, it's best to leave it unknown. AlexShepherd 19:20, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If there's a possibility, it should be left on the page. AlessaGillespie 07:03, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It should be, but remember who would probably revert it back? =/ Also, Alessa, have you find a solution to your wikiaanswers problem yet? AlexShepherd 07:11, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Gah, you don't have an email section? The wikianswers thing still isn't working. It doesn't happen unless I try to edit an answer. AlessaGillespie 07:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you and Gillespie are dense. All of the voice actors that spoke in Silent Hill 2's main scenario were credited.

''It should be, but remember who would probably revert it back? =/''

Don't get smart kid. I have a name.

The voice cast is listed in the game credits and in the manual (albeit they are not attached to the characters) why not simply figure out what other roles said actors have played and determine who voiced whom by process of elimination? Xeno the Hedgehog 05:05, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

as in 2010, the real Laura is having an step brother named Maulana J. a.k.a John Crawford who appearantly an mysterious badass/Eminem type talk.

and the real Laura is being in a relationship to Joshua Shepherd. thought she lying to his step brother.


 * Numerous sources state that 'Jakey Breckennridge is the voice actress of Laura. "Jakey" could be a nickname for "Jacklyn." I still think it should be left as unknown for now. We'll eventually get a confirmation on who played her. If Florence Minowa is truly the voice of Amy, I highly doubt she was the same one who played Laura. They honestly sound nothing alike. Jiyanamiki 03:00, January 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've changed the voice actor in Laura's infobox to "Possibly Jakey Breckennridge" due to the high possibility of this person being her voice actress. Various websites state that this is her voice actress, and although there is no official proof, there is a strong possibility, and thus, it should be included in the wiki.

 * Actually, if you click on the name, it states that the va was an "actress." Jiyanamiki 02:48, January 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Jeremy Blaustein confirmed the name of her voice actress, see here: http://alchemillahospital.net/jeremy-blaustein-responds-to-the-shhd-controversy/ Alchemillahospital 20:36, September 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Awesome. 2 years later, we got an answer. So her real name is Jacky, and she went by the nickname Jakey... like Samantha and Sam. That's why we didn't know for sure since Jakey is more a guy's name. — Alex Shepherd   ツ  21:33, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

What is the context of usage for the cleanup template? Curious is all. --TheGoodman 13:02, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Real World or Monster-Free Fog World
I have heard from conflicting sources that Laura is in the Fog world (which is backed by the fact that the other characters can see her but no tourists) or the real world (which is backed by the fact that Laura does not find the town in the least bit off and Paint It Black shows that what appear to be monsters by some can appear to be humans to others and in Silent Hill 3 by the fact that Michael Kaufmann joked "You see them as monsters" and a few other things). This is very confusing. AzemOcram 02:57, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, there's no evidence from any canon source that Laura is in the real world. The fact that she sees and is able to interact with the people in the fog world is evidence enough of this. Laura thinks the town is "normal" because her soul is innocent, and as such she doesn't see any monsters. She thinks it's just an abandoned town.

 * Not trying to be a fanboy or anything but that was actually Vincent who said that. AlexShepherd 04:57, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * I am more of a newbie than you are a fanboy. I have only began playing Silent Hill 2 and do not plan on playing any other Silent Hill game. The strange thing is that she does not find it in the least bit odd that it is abandoned or extremely foggy. She is also able to go to places where the player cannot (due to "fog world" obstacles). She never mentioned seeing anyone other than James and Eddie but the not being afraid part might have to do with her thinking that it is a dream world/"better place" or it could mean that she is halfway in the fog world (looking for Mary gives her the ability to see real people in the fog world but her innocence keeps her from fully entering it (no monsters or anything else "wrong" with the town). This is all coming from a happy ending believer that believes that what he wants to when something is ambiguous. As such, I believe Laura is between worlds (there is no evidence whatsoever that this is possible) and that Silent Hill remained a little bit of a tourist spot until the cult took over (The "Real World" Silent Hill was still a tourist spot during the first game and Claudia had the power to put anyone into a "Fog World" or "Other World" version of wherever they are (possibly with a limitation of so many meters beyond Silent Hill) as proven by the the mall scene in Silent Hill 3). AzemOcram 17:31, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * You're missing out, 1 and 2 are still very good games. But at least you're playing the best out of the series. And yeah, that was Vincent, to Heather. The statement was to imply she was actually killing human beings, not monsters. What a jerk he is. -- 17:36, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Which game is the best in your opinion? Silent Hill 3 was the highest quality and the best in most people's opinion. Silent Hill 2 is the only one that I can fully handle (I prefer psychological movies and games and only watch horror if it takes place in a world too different than this one to fully affect me (far future, different planet or different "realm"/universe are OK, Resident Evil (the first movie) gave me nightmares for some time (Resident Evil Extinction was way too different to affect me thus I want to see it. The Silent Hill Horror (the movie) was treading on close grounds but I am mature enough to passively watch these things now. AzemOcram 17:58, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually the general consensus amongst most fans is that Silent Hill 2 was the best, (I've heard it called "Konami's masterpiece" by a great many people), though obviously that's not universal. My wife for example prefers the third game. I find the second one the most abstract and the most psychologically challenging, so it's my favorite. -- 22:07, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think 1, 2 and 3 are the best. 4 was still good, but not really up to par with the last three. The reason why Laura isn't like "Omg, why is this place so abandoned and dirty?" is because she views Silent Hill as a sanctuary. Remember how Mary and James went to Silent Hill and it was a beautiful place? In the game, the reason why James sees Silent Hill as foggy and dangerous is because of his guilty subconscious after killing Mary. Laura on the other hand is innocent and as Mary showed her the beauty of the town through photographs, she probably sees Silent Hill as a beautiful place. AlexShepherd 22:51, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Laura and the Music Box
I'll hold this to a vote: Who thinks the text It is possible that Laura and her actions and motivations are related to The Little Mermaid Music Box found in the Lakeview Hotel, most likely to the fact that despite she knows many things about Mary, she never explains them to James, fitting the music box text "Seat of the Princess who spoke no words" and "Even so I still want to belive she was happy", meaning Laura's desire to know what happened to Mary, also the player meets Laura on the restaurant's hotel that stares at the lake. should be kept, and who thinks it should go? I vote For, since it makes sense and it's clearly marked as speculation. I'll hold the vote open for one week. Should anyone not respect the final vote after one week and attempt to edit it, I will lock this page to all editing. Sorry, guys.

For: I see no reason for it to be removed and it makes perfect sense. Though maybe the first sentence should be changed from "It is possible that Laura and her actions and motivations are related to The Little Mermaid Music Box found in the Lakeview Hotel" to "Laura's actions and motivations could be seen as a parallel to The Little Mermaid box". AlexShepherd 05:10, February 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's been a week now, and there are two Fors and no Against. I'll be reinstating the text.  AlessaGillespie  Talk   Contributions  14:10, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Possibly a manifestation?
I know the possibility of her being a physical manifestation has been the topic of edit wars and many debates, but I feel we should at LEAST mention it on the page, whether it is just a small section or trivia tidbit. There are many things in-game that slightly hint at this. - 050294 18:51, August 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. Another possibility is that she is actually dead. After all, it's never revealed how she escaped from the hospital, or why she was in the hospital to begin with. Most likely, she had a serious illness just like Mary. It's implied that the town of Silent Hill can even manifest the spirits of good people like Mary, Alex's brother Josh (who makes all the child's drawings), and (possibly) Harry Mason after Heather kills God. The difference is that these dead people aren't affected in the same way as sinners or people who hold darkness in their hearts. (While it is possible in the case of Alex that the Josh he keeps seeing is merely a manifestation, the child's drawings seem to indicate that the soul of the real Josh has been helping him the entire time.) The fact that Laura seems to know things that only Mary would know seems to suggest that she is more than a manifestation, but i agree that the possibilities of Laura being alive, dead, or a delusion should all be discussed in the article. I think everyone can agree to this, no? - Webspidrman 10:10, 24 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not really seeing it. Silent Hill is like a sandbox of people's dreams, desires, subconscious etc. I don't know any cases where Silent Hill creates monsters and characters and storylines on its own -- it always has to do with someone else. If Laura's a manifestation, then she must be a manifestation relating to someone in the town. But Eddie and James didn't know who Laura was before they came to Silent Hill. Also, if Laura's a manifestation, why can't see she Maria who's also a manifestation? And how could she be a manifestation if she has Mary's letter? Maybe Laura broke a leg or something, or had a serious flu. Laura and Mary met in the hospital... it doesn't necessarily mean Laura had a year-long illness. I think she recovered and came back to see Mary often, afterall, why wouldn't you visit a friend with a terminal illness? 02:18, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Alex said it perfectly. I'm not seeing it either. Jiyanamiki 19:08, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Add Laura to the Female Characters Category
Title says all - 050294 03:15, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Relatives?
I know it's been confirmed that Laura is an orphan, but does it say she has no family as well, like grandparents or an aunt or uncle? It is possible she is staying with her other family, so maybe she didn't go to an orphanage?

Also, orphanages really don't exist anymore; kids just go to foster homes. — Jiya na miki  21:39, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
