Agent L (also called Elle, or just L, originally Dr. Laurel Weaver) is a former agent of the MiB. She is a beautiful but cynical deputy medical examiner. She joined MiB after Agent K was neuralyzed, so she became Agent J's new partner. In the original film, she was played by Linda Fiorentino.
History
Before MiB
In the background, she played a large part before becoming an agent. Laurel Weaver is portrayed as a young and cynical deputy medical examiner. She has a fairly slender figure, and dark hair.
In the first film Laurel investigates the corpse of a man that Officer James Edwards chased. She finds that the man had two different sets of eyelids
Later on, J, and K search the morgue to look for the bodies of aliens that were killed by Edgar the Bug. After this, she is neuralyzed.
At the end of the film, she kills Edgar, after which she is recruited by the MiB and becomes J's new partner Agent L.
Men In Black: The Series
In Men in Black The Series she is moved to the lab inside MiB headquarters becoming chief scientific officer and an assistant to Zed.
In The Long Goodbye Syndrome when Jay is pursued by Skraaldian aliens she gives J a freezing weapon to defend himself from them after J accidentally blew one alien up by firing his noisy cricket at him.
In The Big Bad Bug Syndrome, L is pursued by another Bug named Edwin, Edgar's brother who wants revenge on her for Edgar's death. She is kidnapped again but when J and K arrive to rescue her all three are captured. They are later rescued by the Worms and a group of Bug bounty hunters. When the Bug bounty hunters need sugar to survive the Worms give them their sugared coffee. The bounty hunters fire at Edwin killing him just like how Edgar was killed.
In The Musical Chairs Syndrome her role as chief scientific officer is later replaced by Dr Zan'dozz Zeeltor because she wanted to move into field work.
She is also given a new partner an alien named Agent X, since J and K were partners again, but since this series takes place after the events of the first film it is considered non-canon to the live action films.
Men In Black II
In Men in Black II, L does not appear, but is mentioned once. J explains that L apparently wanted to return to working as a medical examiner.
