Lailah is a long-lived seraphim who has lived for many centuries, so much so that she is not sure if she was born human or a seraph.

Prior to the events of the game, Lailah had joined the previous Shepherd on his journey of discovering the hidden factors of their world. A long while after their journey, the previous Shepherd discontinued his quest for living a happy life with his pregnant sister and ultimately saying a sad farewell earlier to Lailah around twenty years ago.

Lailah fights with wind-imbued paper sheets in which she throws them into the distance before being set alight. Her techniques primarily consist of seraphic fire artes, as well as minor artes with dual types such as fire-wind or fire-water.
