Layla

Layla is a female creator tagged #1226.

**History:**

Layla has a abusive father, and her relationship with her mother is unclear but it is known that Layla's parents are in fact divorced, which her father having custody over her.

**Joining Elysium:**

Layla discovered the Undertale Fandom shortly after Maia did, however she did discover Elysium before Maia. As a First Class Creator, Layla started drafting up ideas for a Undertale Multiverse timeline. She also had a standalone creation (i.e. not in any Fandoms) and was promoted to First Class for it. Soon after, Layla and Maia met in Elysium and fell in love. One day, when Layla was helping Maia through a breakdown, Maia told Layla that she was thinking of committing suicide.

Some time later, Willow discovered Elysium and befriended Maia. Maia introduced Willow to Layla, however their relationship at this time remained at polite acquaintances. Soon thereafter, Layla confessed to Maia and the two started officially dating. Layla gradually started becoming happier, and Maia (by extension Elysium) became her coping mechanism for the abuse.

One day, when Layla logged in, she found that Maia's profile had been deleted. Layla panicked, believing that Maia had indeed killed herself. Layla desperately questioned a Fourth Class Creator about this, but all she was told was that Maia was deleted her own account and that all of Maia's creations (Underdeveloped!Verse) were accordingly deleted. Layla started grieving for Maia, rapidly declining. Soon, the character Ink caught her focus as Layla was unconsciously envious of his emotionlessness. After implementing an unknown idea into her standalone creation, Layla was promoted to Second Class and given her own studio. She named it Plasma Studios.

However, throughout all of this, Layla was consumed by grief. After one particularly severe beating by her father, Layla was knocked unconscious and returned to Elysium. In a fit of despair, she ventilated all her negativity into one single asset, but they grew into a festering pile of Corruption, melting away all materials with a single touch. Without Layla's will to focus on, they developed their own thoughts. They named themselves Corria, who would later be known as Corruption 1.0 by the creators, and materialised in a body they were familiar with. When Corria attempted to reach out to other files, she found that she corrupted them with a mere touch, and even more so as it would cause a ripple effect. She destroyed three entire multiverses before Layla realised as Layla was busy with the first portion of Plasmaverse, naming it Plasmaverse from her Studio name Plasma Studios, then approved Willow's request to use the current draft of Plasmaverse as base. When Layla discovered Corria's actions, she immediately coded a prison cell and isolated Corria in it. Corria wasn't upset, however, as her nature was just pure curiosity, not of maliciousness, and did not understand why Layla did so.

Of course, the creators had found out about the unexpected deletions and Layla had to come clean, save for her true motive. She lied that she was only curious, which got her into a lot of trouble. The other creators named Corria Corruption, later adding 1.0. when Corria merged with Underdeveloped!Ink.

However, one of the three multiverses was not deleted because of Corruption, but because of Maia's disappearance. This left her unfinished multiverse incomplete (underdeveloped), and triggered a deletion of it, but one file couldn't be deleted; *Underdeveloped!Verse!Ink.*

Layla secretly took Plasmaverse!Ink into Elysium. She employed some First-Class Creators to help teach him Create but ultimately failed as Creations cannot Create. However, she did somewhat succeed, i.e. Plasmaverse!Ink's ability to bring drawings into reality. Layla knew the First-Class Creators would probably tell on her forbidden actions, and so tricked all of them into entering Corruption 1.0's cell, resulting in all of their demises. This made Corruption 1.0 much stronger.

At the same time, Layla finally completed Plasmaverse.

When Layla found Underdeveloped!Verse!Ink, she wanted to bring him out. He was the only remaining piece of Maia's creation, so she freed him and let him stay in Elysium for some time, but eventually, he learnt too much and saw too much. Or Layla thought he did; he was just a empty shell by then. Layla knew she had to get rid of him, despite her aching heart. So, she threw him into Corruption 1.0's cell. Corruption 1.0 was curious and tried to corrupt him, but he only fell unconscious. Corruption 1.0 was delighted at this newfound outcome and began to attempt to puppet Ink. This resulted in both fusing into one entity; Corrupted 2.0, or Infected!Ink.

Corrupted 2.0 soon learnt that although their powers could only corrupt one thing at a time manually, their corruption was so extremely concentrated (the result of the fusion combined with the boost of the now deceased First-Class Creators) that they could break out of their cell.

Layla panicked, but soon realised they were unable to corrupt an entire multiverse without it taking a century at least so she trapped it in her thickest multiverse; Plasmaverse. From here, Corruption 2.0 was trapped in it, unable to travel out, until they corrupted Altered!Plasmaverse!Ink and forced him to tell them how to travel in the Omniverse. Now that Corruption 2.0 knew how to do this, they became an Omniversal threat, no longer bound to just Layla's (and by extension Undertale) Multiverses.

Willow was enraged at Layla now because Altered!Plasmaverse was corrupted because of Corruption 2.0. Willow informed the other creators of Corruption 2.0, and a Handover took place where Layla transferred half of her ownership of Plasmaverse to Willow. From here, Layla started to repent, realising she herself had to start changing as her trauma was consuming her, turning her into a monster.

Layla warned Willow against against spiralling too far, unaware that Angst was not a coping technique for Willow but instead an addiction caused by outside influence.

When Maia returned, Layla knew she still loved Maia deeply but understood that
