Lala (Monster Musume)

Lala, also known as D and Reaper-san, is one of the main characters from the Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls series.
==Charactah Account==
Lala is a Dullahan and the seventh girl to move in with Kimihito Kurusu, but the sixth girl to officially do so. She is the second "D", which she initially denied, telling everyone she's merely there to warn Kimihito of his impending death.
Lala is stoic, gloomy, and very cold and blunt. However she apparently suffers from Chuunibyou where Lala often claims to be an agent of Death, referring to herself as both "Death Incarnate" and "The Huntress of Death". This is to keep people from believing she is an actual Psychopomp. She typically speaks dramatically and enigmatic about her duties to humans, however she can drop it with people being direct with her. When Kimihito asked her disembodied head multiple times what she wanted, she merely said in an embarrassed tone to please return her to her body. Also when scolded by Ms Smith about the negative consequences of her dark persona, she showed fear and explained herself as she didn't want to be punished. When working she has a more positive attitude and is shown to actually prefer helping someone over doing her job. She also shows a notable nervousness when dealing with those she is not familiar with when visiting Kimihito in the hospital after the incident with Mero and her mother.
Lala's relationship with Kimihito is more complicated than the other girls. Whereas many of them are trying to win his hand in marriage, Lala seems to have no interest in the matter. However, she does tell Kimihito when he dies his soul belongs to her due to her duties as a dullahan; this could mean she is willing to wait until the end of his natural life, no matter the length, to be with him, showing an incredible amount of patience when compared to many of the other girls with whom she lives.

==Trivia==
*Since Lala's body has no method of speech, its emotions tend to be expressed through emoticons.
*Before Lala's reveal, fans theorized that "D" may be, in fact, a stalker of Kimihito.
*So far, Lala is the second character whose name is not mentioned in their debut chapter, alongside Rachnera Arachnera.
*Lala is the only one of Kimihito's household girls who doesn't call him by a nickname.
*Lala is also the only one of the seven girls in Kimihito's household whose room in the Kurusu house hasn't been shown yet.
*Lala is the second monster girl after Centorea to have weaponry (a scythe). Normally, she would not be able to carry such a weapon due to Japan's laws prohibiting civilians from carrying weapons, and is only allowed to carry her scythe because she was able to convince the Japanese government that it is simply an agricultural tool (which is what a scythe is).
*In the official English translation by Seven Seas, Lala appears to speak in an Irish accent, likely in reference to the fact that Dullahans originate from Irish myth.
**In chapter 38 onwards, Lala appears to now speak with a Scottish accent for unknown reasons though both Ireland and Scotland are Celtic nations with Dullahans also appearing in Scottish folklore.
*Lala is actually the third or fourth girl to meet Kimihito, although she doesn't appear until Chapter 22. This is due to her taking notice of Kimihito's multiple near-death experiences at the beginning of the Manga.
**Because of that, Lala only ever shows up when Kimihito is close to death.
*Lala is currently the only girl living in the Kurusu House whose species is classified as humanoid.
*Lala is the only character to have been given two chibi versions (one with head attached, one with head being held under her arm).
*MonMusu Anime Twitter account revealed that Lala's birthday is December 25th.
*Lala's favourite Food and Drink are "Ambrosia" & "Panacea".
*Lala seems to enjoy playing the Nintendo.
**In Chapter 46, Lala is shown playing the PS3, competitively.
*After being seen naked in an omake in Volume 11, Lala seems to have Pear Like Hips.
**Lala's nipples seem to be human-like, with a light pink colour.
**It's stated by Kimihito that Lala is a bit of a klutz.
*In Chapter 51, Lala shows her "True Power" by easily Reaping the Soul of Wladislaus and sending him to the afterlife.
*It's possible that Lala is the "Most Powerful" girl in the series as she's the only one to possess supernatural abilities.
*Lala seems to enjoy drinking Iced Coffee, as she smiled after receiving one from Kimihito in the second OVA.
*In the second OVA, Lala says that she doesn't need a bra.
*The indenture in Lala's scythe makes it useful as a bottle-opener.
*In Chapter 52, Lala states that her favourite meal is Curry.
*Lala and Kimihito are both Capricorns.
*Chapter 38 shows Lala doesn't know how to act around and has difficulty dealing with children.
*Lala is the most inconspicuous main character in the manga series, since she rarely takes on a major role and mostly stays in the background. Even Kimihito sometimes doesn't notice if she's present or not, since e.g in the school arc he didn't immediately notice that Lala wasn't present when he went to the grimoire school with his other homestay girls.
**As a result, Lala was hardly or even not at all present for many of the main events and adventures of the other protagonists, such as the visit to the Mermaid hotel and the incident with Octo in Volume 9 or most of the events during the EXPO in Volume 12.
*Lala is the only one of Kimihito's household girls who was not a student at the Grimoire high school, since she was instead part of the five mysteries of Grimoire High School. Because of this, Lala never wore any of the enchanted school uniforms and was never affected by the Grimoire's brainwashing.
**While the MON-team members had to play the role of the five Mysteries because Arbatel saw them as a threat, there is no clear explanation as to why Lala was also part of the Mysteries. The most likely explanation was probably that Arbatel simply felt that due to her detachable head, Lala was just a perfect fit for the role in a fifth ghost story, and there was no particular reason.
