Lorela is the femslash ship between Lorna Campbell and Pamela Thornton from the Johnny English fandom.
Canon[]
Pamela Thornton, or as she is more commonly known as, Pegasus, never actually met Lorna Campbell on screen due to the fact that Pamela was not in the position of Pegasus while Lorna was around MI7. The Pegasus that Lorna knew was her predecessor who had a very different MI7 to the one that Pamela has. After he left Pamela became the new Pegasus and completely changed MI7. Since her predecessor left in around 2007, this is probably the same time that Pamela arrived and took over. Lorna, however, joined in 1997 and the events of the first movie, which she was in took place in 2003. The events of the second movie, which Pegasus was in, took place on 2011. However, it is unclear whether Lorna left after the events of the first movie, or if she was still around for the second movie and just was not involved in the plot. This means that her and Pegasus may know each other.
Pegasus and Lorna are similar in many ways, they are both stunning, intelligent, strong minded women who do not tolerate any nonsense. However, they are also different in many ways, while Lorna is an agent and specialises in combat, and would not hesitate to beat someone up, Pegasus is the Head of MI7, meaning she comes up with the plans and orders them from the sidelines without ever getting involved herself, almost being detached from the people involved in her missions. In addition, Lorna is much more outspokenly rude to people who annoy her with insults, while Pegasus is more frank and gives her brutality honest opinions. Pegasus is also more elegant and reserved, though very intimidating, while Lorna is more upfront and a bit less refined, though still classy. These differences and similarities would allow for interesting interactions should they meet on screen. The possibility of them having screen time together is highly unlikely, as Lorna will probably never appear in the Johnny English movie series again.
Fanon[]
Lorela is not as popular as most other ships so it makes the ship a rarepair. It is rivalled by Simela and Kamela, and often overshadowed by them. Most fans think that Pegasus and Lorna have never met, and if they did, they would just be good friends. The reasons why some people ship Lorela is because Pamela is the kind of Pegasus that Lorna would really like and appreciate due to being, competent, intelligent, efficient, and up to date with the times. Her predecessor was probably too old fashioned for Lorna’s liking, and wasn’t as modern as Pamela. Pamela is also a similar age to Lorna meaning they would get on better, and Lorna would prefer taking orders from a woman with some similar view points to her than an old fashioned old man. Because of this, some fans like to imagine Lorna and Pegasus forming a deeper connection from their similarities. On the other hand, their differences also probably for interesting interactions.
