'''Laurel''' is a character in the {{DQSeries}} that appears as a temporary party member in {{DQ4}}. A poet facing financial troubles, he offers his magical capabilities in combat for aspiring merchants in the [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 3|third chapter]].

~~'''~~Laurel~~''' (Laurent in the NES version) is~~ a ~~temporary playable character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. [[Torneko]] finds him staying at the inn in [[Endor]]~~, ~~finding that poetry doesn't pay particularly well and looking for work.

After Chapter 3~~, ~~he is never seen again~~.

==Appearance and personality==

In his original appearance, Laurel wears a long, lavish pink coat over a white robe with a yellow highlight. He has sea green hair, blue eyes, simplistic leather shoes and dons a peculiar headpiece.

His redesign in subsequent remakes has him wearing a similar outfit, except the coat is shorter in length and the robe is now blue. A golden decorative circlet is wrapped around his head, along with a golden choker. He has light blue hair, pointed leather shoes and a satchel lays at his side. He is depicted wielding a golden harp.

Starting with the localization of the {{DS}} remake, Laurel will attempt a rhyming scheme in his speech with varying levels of success.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ4}}===

Laurel is at the [[Endor]] [[Inn]] throughout the story starting with {{DQ4 Chapter 2}} in which he meets [[Alena]] and her party. Laurel tells the [[Zamoksva]] Princess that he arrived in town to watch the [[Tournament of Endor|Tournament]] and gives a victory song, suggesting that Alena could win with use of the [[Iron claw]]. He later congratulates her on winning in the event and wishes her luck for her journey.

During {{DQ4 Chapter 3}}, Laurel finds that poetry doesn't pay particularly well and is looking for work. In exchange for an advance payment of 600 [[gold]] pieces, he is willing to join {{Torneko}} for five days at a time. He's useful in his ability to cast spells, which Torneko can't do himself. After {{DQ4 Chapter 3}}, he is no longer recruitible.

In {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, he states his happiness for {{Veronica 4}} and Prince [[Regan]]'s wedding as at the very least humans shouldn't be fighting amongst themselves.
