The show’s website says of von Drashek:

A self-professed mean girl, this 23-year-old student is one Midwesterner you don’t want to mess with. A lifelong hockey player, she’s spent her fair share of time in the penalty box, and her aggressive streak carries over off the ice too. Whether with her friends or enemies, Lauren pulls no punches, always speaking her mind no matter how painful the truth might be. Nice girls don't always finish first, so Lauren may prove to be tough competition!

She graduated from Woodbury High School in 2008 and said she has enjoyed her time on the show, according to the Woodbury Bulletin.

“People think I’m mean because I don’t have a filter,” von Drashek told the newspaper. “I don’t know if that's being mean or just being honest.”

The show airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on USA. Check out the show’s website for more information.
