## Personality:

Layla is usually really quiet unless she feels the need to engage in a conversation (which is pretty often for her). She makes people hate her really easily and doesn't connect with many people often. She had an extremely extroverted personality and will act overly friendly instantly (usually for her own personal benefit, mockingly, or just to start up a conversation). She will try to make herself seem innocent often when deep down she's a real bitch. She can act really rude and really get to you but when she sees the person isn't getting effected she will most likely just completely rage at them. Her personality is all over the place and she's often very confusing to comprehend. Layla gets angry really often and is very hot headed. She can be really persuasive and goes to great lengths to persuade.

## History

Layla had a very normal life growing up. She had an almost perfect family with a loving mother and a father who cared for her lots. She was the light of their life, due to this Layla got lots of attention growing up she was a really happy child. One night Layla when Layla was 12 years old she was left at her Aunts house while her parents went out on a date night. On the way home from the movies a drunk driver killed crashed Into their car killing Layla's parents. Many people were shocked with how emotionless Layla reacted to the whole situation. She felt so lost that she could barely even feel emotion after the situation she wanted to do anything to get her mind off of her parents leaving.

Her aunt and uncle adopted her soon. Her aunt and uncle loved her a lot and they had a very positive relationship with her until her parents died when Layla's personality did a 360. She seemed to stop caring about her aunt and uncle. She would come home past curfew, never help out with chores, and pick fights with them. Layla was getting involved with bad people at a young age. The people who she considered friends were 40+ year old men (nothing creepy) and they got her involved with their religious group called the Devine order of Idona. The religious group was dedicated to a goddess named Idona and helping Idona defeat an evil spirit named Sen'i planning to wipe out humanity. The group did everything in their power to stop Sen'i, members were forced to dedicate their lives to the cause, this basically destroyed their lives. Layla joined the group and started making great progress with them. She formed a strong connection with the Idona and was able to perform rituals better than anyone there even people 50+ years older than her. When Layla realized she had gained everyone's trust and was being kept in mind for the next head priest, she murdered the current head priest, Haile to become the new leader.

After a few months Layla had became the new head priest. Layla had many experiences through priesthood one special event that happened was her small business. She sold crosses, rosary's, potions, etc. One of her top customers was an older lady named Pauline. She was very odd because she offered to pay Layla more to sharpen the ends of the crosses, put chemicals in potions, etc. Layla would of course except the offer and do it. She later learned the reason that she had to sharpen Pauline's weapons, she had a daughter named Nyx who she would abuse with the products from her business. Layla thought this was hilarious and would continue to sharpen the weapons and make fun of Nyx whenever she would come with Pauline bc she was an asshole.

Later throughout her priesthood, she made friends with the arch lector Jane even thought Layla tried to brush her away by telling her that she murdered Haile (who was Jane's sister), Jane still followed Layla and looked up to her. Members of the group were required to tell the head priest anything they learn about members and any gossip they have heard, through this policy, Layla learned that Jane had feelings for her. Layla thought it would be fun to mess with Jane and pretend she had feelings for her, so later that day she asked Jane out and Jane was ecstatic. Layla didn't realize what she was getting herself into when Jane showed mass amounts of affection for Layla that Layla didn't really want. Layla started spreading rumors about Jane to all the other members trusting that they were loyal enough to not let word of this gossip get to Jane. But one day a priest, who had a strong hatred for the cult ended up exposing Layla to Jane. Jane played it cool around Layla until the next monthly sacrifice where Jane offered herself up as a sacrifice. Layla didn't realize that she hurt Jane to the point that she wanted to die. Layla imminently realized her mistake and refused to sacrifice Jane but everyone pressured Layla into doing it. Layla fell into a depressive episode not realizing how well she had it and now Jane was gone and she couldn't ever get Jane back. She felt remorse for the way she treated Jane and started self destructive behavior. Layla tried to change her ways but she didn't because she sucks.

## Despair manor

Layla would have never anticipated getting kidnapped and sent to a murder game during the best time of her life, especially being sent there with Nyx the child she would ridicule. She formally in introduced herself to Nyx and even became one of Nyx's allies for awhile, even though she didn't care for Nyx much at all even though she did see many similarities between Nyx and Jane. She used Nyx for her own personal benefit throughout despair manor until everyone turned against her. Layla started lots of conflict throughout Despair manor which caused her to lose everyone's trust. She was able to regain some of it when she showed remorse for her actions eventually making acquaintances with Nathan Koa, Asher Hayes, Vixen, and even dating Rei Matsuo. Part of her was possibly seeing positive ending to the game where she would live on but those thoughts were never followed through with when Nyx shot Layla, ultimately killing her.

Layla and Nyx started a relationship soon after. Their relationship was very obscure considering their history with each other. Nyx never liked Layla romantically and only did it to make Layla happy and Layla only considered it a situationship. Layla realized she had more fun ridiculing Nyx than loving her so she ended up attempting to use her as a tool to get closer to winning the game. Nyx realized this and began to dislike Layla more and more. Soon they broke up and became acquaintances. Rei Matsuo was able to convince Layla that Nyx was the one behind Despair manor so Layla grew a deeper hatred for Nyx. Nyx didn't like Layla enough to keep her alive and she needed someone easy to kill in attempts to be executed, so Nyx chose Layla to kill.
