Originally emigrating from Gilneas in search of work as a bounty hunter, in a few short years Layla Mourne has found herself a naturalized citizen and law enforcement officer, serving to protect the Kingdom of Stormwind in her new role as Superintendent of the First Royal Constabulary. Along the way she has served under a number of Ministries in official and unofficial capacities and maintains a positive working relationship with the Ministry of Magical Affairs for whom she served as an Agent of the Magical Enforcement Bureau up until her being headhunted by the Lord High Prosecutor Martinenche Sisseux to serve as First Inspector.

Both as a private citizen and as an agent of the crown, Layla has worked tirelessly to make Stormwind a safer place for all and help push for positive reforms in law enforcement.

## Personality & Beliefs

Layla is a very playful individual, trying to maintain a casual and approachable air whenever she can. She is capable of violence but always strives to find nonviolent solutions whenever possible as it's her belief that in most situations, killing someone is not the same as enacting justice. Still, even her good faith has its limits and she is not one to hesitate if lives are on the line.

She has a complicated relationship with the Church of Holy Light, having not been afforded the opportunity to so much as enter a Cathedral for most of her life. Still, she finds herself drawn to its halls and finds comfort in prayer.

## Description

Layla has olive skin, green eyes, and dark brown hair. She has a weightlifter's physique and stands at 6'3" (or 7'1" when in her worgen form). She has three vertical claw marks on the right side of her face that had claimed her eye on that side which has since been replaced with a glassy arcane prosthetic. She has a line-art tattoo in the center of her chest of wilted wildflower and beneath that the Darnassian phrase "Alara'shinu".

## Biography

Layla (then going by the name Jasmyne) was a foundling raised on the streets of Gilneas city. After the tragic loss of the woman who raised her, she signed on with the armed forces of the Kingdom of Gilneas under the name Layla as a way to get off the streets and at the time of the Shattering had attained the rank of Private. After being severely injured during the Invasion of Gilneas, Layla was honorably discharged and she spent years recuperating in Darnassus where she briefly worked in security.

During the Legion invasion, Layla signed on to serve the Alliance, being reinstated at the rank of Private. She fought and was injured at the Battle of Broken Shore. Rather than leaving the fight, she was transferred to the Royal Army Engineers Regiment where she spent the rest of the war building explosives and maintaining the Alliance's airships. Following the war she was once again discharged due to lingering injuries from Broken Shore.

After spending time in physical therapy for her wounds she worked privately as a bounty hunter for a number of years, interrupted only briefly when she volunteered to serve as a combat engineer at the Battle of Darkshore. In the winter of 637, the dracthyr arrived in Stormwind and with them backlash from "former" Scarlet Crusaders. As a private citizen, Layla put herself between the Scalerippers and the dracthyr and worked alongside law enforcement to dismantle the organization.

In recognition of her successes as an investigator, she was hired by Lord Kalom Altham shortly after and spent most of 638 as an Agent of the Magical Enforcement Bureau where she was awarded the Talisman of Bravery for her service. Her work with the Bureau on several high profile cases caught the eye of the Lord High Prosecutor Martinenche Sisseux who, after starting her off on a committee to discuss reforms, hired Layla as the First Inspector to lead reforms to Stormwind's Constabulary.

In addition to her duties as First Inspector, Layla leads the First Royal Constabulary, the 1st unit of the Stormwind Constabulary as its Superintendent. She also serves as the Sergeant-at-Arms, a position she applied for after helping Lord Altham thwart an attack on Parliament.
