Larry has been Phoenix's friend since grade school, and despite his problems with women (and slacking off) he's a good friend who sticks by Phoenix. Larry is generally easygoing and laid back, but shows his emotions easily. He's very trusting and a little flaky, which leads to him moving between women and part-time jobs fairly regularly. In T&T, Larry is determined to become an artist, and goes under the pen name Laurice Deauxnim (aka Mashisu Tenryuusai). Larry is good friends with Phoenix, and has been since they were little kids. Larry's family isn't mentioned throughout the games, but he has a few different girlfriends along the way (one of which being Cindy Stone).
