Theodore Laurence, better known as Laurie, is a supporting character in the anime Little Women II: Jo's Boys. He is the husband of Amy Curtis Laurence, the youngest of the March sisters, and has been a close friend of Josephine "Jo" Bhaer since childhood. In the series, which takes place about a decade after the events of the earlier anime Tales of Little Women, Laurie appears as a mature and responsible adult who remains deeply connected to the March and Bhaer families. He is the former pupil of John Brooke and is present during key family milestones, including the funeral of John Brooke. Laurie's background as an orphan raised by his wealthy grandfather, Mr. Laurence, shapes his warm and generous nature. He is known for his high spirits, musical talent, and romantic temperament, qualities that have carried into adulthood. His motivations center on supporting his wife Amy, maintaining his friendship with Jo, and contributing to the Plumfield school community. Laurie's role in the story is that of a reliable family member who offers emotional and practical support, particularly during times of loss or change. His key relationships include his loving marriage to Amy, his enduring bond with Jo, and his respectful connections with the children at Plumfield. Over the course of the narrative, Laurie has developed from a restless, sometimes impulsive youth into a devoted husband and a steady presence in the lives of those around him. Among his notable abilities are his wealth and social standing, which he uses to assist his family, as well as his skill as a musician and composer, a passion he has pursued since his youth.
