The Character Lori: Faith as a Central Theme

The character in question is Lori, a middle school softball player in Win or Lose. Her faith is woven into her character development—she begins her scenes with prayers like "Heavenly Father," and her bedroom contains religious imagery such as a cutout of an angel, emphasizing her Christian identity. Lori prays before batting, and her belief system influences how she navigates peer pressure, self-doubt, and family expectations, notably from her coach, who is also her father.
