Detailed description of the couple (likely to contain spoilers)From the Carmilla wiki: "Carmilla's lover and friend, Laura and Carmilla initially had an antagonistic relationship, Laura's idealistic and adventurous nature clashing with Carmilla's laid-back personality. Their shared plight during the course of their first semester together led them to become friends and eventually lovers. They had rough parts to their relationship following this, however, and it culminated with their breakup after they were unable to resolve their differences amicably. Following this, they lost trust and faith in each other, and after Mattie was killed by Danny, Carmilla issued a death threat to Laura and abandoned her to Vordenberg. Despite this fracturing of their relationship, Laura was still willing to save Carmilla by killing Vordenberg, an act which forced them to go on the run. Following their escape from Silas, both of them made efforts to repair their relationship, implying their relationship might be salvaged and rebuilt one day. Sometime after Laura learned of the events that occured prior to her arrival at Silas, the duo slowly attempted to become friends again, sleeping with each other on two occasions, before they decided to agree to a 'friends with benefits' relationship due to still being wary of an actual relationship. But soon after, partially as a result of the upcoming confrontation with The Dean and because she truly does love her, Laura admits her true feelings to Carmilla and they resume their romantic relationship. Laura ultimately sacrifices herself to defeat The Dean, freeing the latter from her torment, at the cost of leaving Carmilla heartbroken and alone. Unwilling to live without her, Carmilla demanded to join her in death, and was subsequently challenged by the Death Goddess in a game of riddles, which she won, resulting in Laura being resurrected, to Carmilla's joy. Following Carmilla's restoration to life, the two of them depart the campus, and five years later, are shown to still be in a loving relationship with one another."
