Laurel Mercer has a strained relationship with her sister, Sutton Mercer, who she constantly competes with in everything. Prior to the books series, Laurel was not a part of The Lying Game, a game of pranks Sutton and her friends play on people but was eventually allowed in. Also, Laurel was apparently best friends with the mysterious Thayer Vega, who disappeared prior to the the events in the books. According to Emma, Laurel had a crush on Thayer, but Thayer was interested in Sutton.
Personality[]
Laurel Mercer is sweet and loyal, but has a competitive relationship with her older sister, Sutton Mercer. Though, she looks up to Sutton the most out of the Lying Game girls, always getting herself things that are somehow identical to Sutton's. Sutton makes note of this, not very pleased that Laurel is constantly copying her. Despite all of this, she still loves Sutton and only wishes to be friends with her again, just like when they were kids.
Physical Appearance[]
She has long honey-blond hair and blue-green eyes, just like Sutton's and Emma's. It is said that she has a lightly freckled nose and tan skin. She has more curvy figure than Sutton, but is shorter than her.
The Lying Game[]
Laurel has a strained relationship with her sister, out of competitiveness. Laurel always tries, but Sutton always wins.
Laurel Mercer is the biological daughter of Ted and Kristen Mercer. She is also one year younger than Sutton. Unlike the TV series, Laurel is a part of the girls' club; The Lying Game. In the past, as seen in Sutton's flashbacks when she was alive, she and her sister were very close. They would always play games, spy on their parents, and even play parts in their favorite play, Les Miserables.
When Emma first arrives to Tuscon, she learns that Sutton had done something to Laurel in the past that made their friendship strain. In the first book, we realize that she had a crush on the mysterious Thayer Vega, Madeline's brother, A.K.A, the boy who ran away and was in love with Sutton. She and Thayer were best friends, hanging out together, playing thumb wars, as talked about in either book The Lying Game or Never Have I Ever. In one of Sutton's flashbacks, she has seen that she was so mean to Laurel, she even threw her new necklace, which somewhat resembles Sutton's favorite necklace, into the woods.
Even though it is mentioned that she hangs out with Sutton's clique of girls, she is the closest with Gabi and Lili.
Hide and Seek[]
We learn that on August 31st, Laurel texted Sutton, "Next time I see you, you're dead." As it turns out, Laurel stayed at the hospital, was sedated, and stayed overnight, so Laurel didn't kill Sutton, but it's revealed that she's Emma and Sutton's aunt and is Becky's younger sister. Laurel also tries to date Thayer, but he's still into Sutton. She eventually accepts this and gives up on trying to win him over, deciding to get back together with Caleb.
