Laura Palmer is a central character in the television series Twin Peaks, created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. Although physically deceased when the series begins, her murder serves as the catalyst for the show's narrative and the investigation led by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper.

Laura was a popular high school student in the seemingly idyllic town of Twin Peaks. She was involved in various extracurricular activities, including tutoring and volunteer work. However, beneath this veneer of normalcy, Laura led a secret life marked by drug abuse, prostitution, and psychological trauma.

Through flashbacks, dream sequences, and diary entries, viewers gradually learn about the complexities of Laura's life and the forces that ultimately led to her tragic death. Her character explores themes of innocence lost, the hidden darkness within small-town America, and the struggle against internal demons. Laura's presence, even in death, permeates the entire series, influencing the actions and motivations of nearly every other character.
