Ohhh this sounds so fun! So here's my submition.
I'm an introverted gemini currently majoring in anthropology and the reluctant mom friend of my friend group. I come off as closed and distant at first and it takes some time for me to open up, but I'm very caring of my friends and family. I love spending time with them and joking around, though I do value my alone time. Considering that, my biggest pet peeve is when someone is overly clingy. I consider myself as kind and easy going, though I can be quite moody sometimes. I have a bit of a dark sense of humor and love using sarcasm. A few of my hobbies are journaling, baking and watching ghibli films. I'm also especially interested in horror literature, poetry and art in general. I'm very into the dark academia style, adapted to work on a small budget and hot climate. I love visiting museums and bookshops and traveling whenever is possible. I'm very prone to stress, have a habit of pacing and cracking my knucles and hate noisy places. I'm also addicted to caffeine. A big part of my time is spent either studying or spoiling my pet cat
I hope this is enough :)

THE LAWRENCE CLAN OF MONDSTADT had never been able to rejoice in a great deal of popularity ever since the aristocracy was overthrown, hundred of years ago. Pretentious, snobby, and power hungry as they were named, it was not to say that they could be exempt from the ‘black-sheep’ phenomena. Your father had long turned away from that side of his family, but some traditions were kept alive regardless. Your way of speaking, dressing and carrying yourself in an effortlessly elegant, dignified manner would always be marked by that side of your familiar history, despite your own, chosen circumstances differing quite drastically. To most in Mondstadt, you come off cold, closed off, a typical “Lawrence”, but that is only a fraction of the person that lies beneath.
As an AVID SCHOLAR IN SUMERU, you indulge in knowledge day in and day out, always having been fascinated by the history of mankind. You specialised in researching the relation between humans and gods, which lead you on many travels throughout the lands. Your SWORD, another remnant of family tradition, is one of the few constant companions you keep during these travels. Having learned from a young age how to defend yourself, your stance is natural, flowing and light, like a dance you barely have to think about.
Another trusted attendant of your travels sits clasped to your cape. The icy glow of the CRYO VISION, one that came to you on the night you decided to finally reject your aunt’s constant offerings of money and inheritage, intent on luring you back into the family, has aided you countless times. You’d cut yourself loose once and for all, in pursuit of knowledge and good conscience. EULA and you, though you barely speak, have much in common in that way. You revel in the cold, cutting paths across lakes and rivers on your way to a new ruin, itching to uncover what ancient connections you may find.
When danger does lurk, you can trust your instincts and the god’s gift to lead you to victory. In a quick turn, you position yourself further back with SHIFTING TIMES, slowing any surrounding enemies attacks with an aoe cryo effect. It allows for quick movements from your side, striking close attackers until you build enough energy to unleash ANCIENT MOMENTS, causing glacial ruins to erupt from your surroundings and bury enemies as they sink back under.
One of the first people to not only see your potential in academics but see through your facade and treat you as any other was LISA MINCI, who practically raised you in her library. Your age gap isn’t big enough for your friendship to seem out of place, and she’s more of an older sister to you than anything else. Whenever you come back to Mondstadt, she’s always waiting for you with a hot cup of tea and an unwavering eagerness to hear of your discoveries.
However, she isn’t the only one. You bumped into XINGQIU during one of your stays in Liyue and have been well acquainted ever since. To him and CHONGYUN, you’re the cool older sister, and here you can let loose and simply enjoy yourself, not just as an academic, not as a Lawrence, but just as you are. They, as well as KOJOU SARA, another close friend from a different nation with similar familiar experiences to you, are featured on your banner, EVERWINDING PAST.
People often wonder how someone who seems so distant and comes from such a scandalous past can be found baking treats with friends on days off or venturing through cities with careless youth. But then again, the people who possess the gift of cryo are never as straightforward as they seem, and you have set yourself the mission to follow the past’s footprints as well as you can, despite never liking your own. Maybe, you ponder, that is exactly why.
