Aha! It clicks. I grok Laura now, beyond just thinking she's generalized awesome of all sorts: she's simply the bastard lovechild of Ada Lovelace and Batman.
No, really - she's a superhero. She's always on a mission, she's right and she knows it, she's got a touch of the vigilante to her, and she must ruthlessly place her brilliant analytical mind between herself and the world, lest the unquenchable fire of her grand passions drive her inevitably to madness and grief. And she has no sense of personal safety at all, ever. If she could fight crime by running around at night in a costume and kicking ass, she totally would. That she's not constantly doing things that are outrageously physically and personally dangerous is mostly due to an iron discipline and a sound grasp of statistics, not because she ever believes for one moment that she can't pull it off. She's like the emotional equivalent of those people who can't feel pain and have to be super, super careful and pad their houses because otherwise they'll be walking around with broken shins and things and never notice.
Also, hats.
