Leïla Bethalzar de Timpanii (から シンパに • ベサザル  • レイラ karashinpani besazaru reira), also known as Karashinpani Besazaru Reira (JP translit.) ; Leïla Timpanii or just Leïla, is is one of the main protagonists of the Galaxy Travail project, alongside Seraphelle and Bellion.

Besides being one of the smallest characters, she can prove herself the most useful thanks to her Ether Constellation, Rewind. She is also highly intelligent, establishing plans and strategies for her team.

Towards the end of the story, she leads the Starfall Programme as an Executive Director, so she can supervise the next generation of Starfall students.

## Appearance

### Physical

Leïla bears the appearance of a Miktam bunny girl, with fairly tanned skin and small stature. Her hair seem to be curly, of a washed-out pink colour.

* She has red-magenta eyes, which possess diamond-shaped pupils.
* Leïla has a symptom known as albinism, causing her hair ends to become discoloured white and her eyes to turn red.
* As part of being a Miktam, she has large bunny ears and a small bunny tail.
* Leïla has a set of three diamond shaped patches on her right cheek.
* She is one of the smallest characters, standing at 91cm (2'1").
* She seems to possess a variation of an Artifice Core, despite not being an Artifice.

Leïla seems to have a rather childish appearance at first. Her power, Rewind, stopped her growth at the age of 9, however still went through puberty despite of this. Her voice is deeper than children and she has clear feminine traits.

### Miktam Harea Race Attributes

Leïla is a Miktam, of the Harea subspecies. The race in general seem to have been a strange evolution from animals, while her subspecies in particular comes with bunny and rabbit-like traits, such as large ears and a small tail. This subspecies is also known to have the smallest average height amongst the Miktam, being of 150cm. Leïla's height is actually right in the average for children in the Harea subspecies.

While Harea subspecies are bipedal, it is not unusual to see them go on all fours in order to run, which Leïla is actually seen doing multiple times, making her one of the fastest-running characters in the Starfall Programme.

This subspecies is also known to be one of the few to be herbivores, which also applies to Leïla, who strictly eats vegetables and plants.

### Clothing Sets

Leïla is seen as a rather fashionable woman, wearing more than just one attire. They can be found in her Gallery :

* **Academic Uniform :** standard uniform worn by Starfall students. In her version, she has her chest uncovered, to let the Artifice Core out. She also wears half-palm gloves because of being germaphobic.
* **Mission Uniform :** Stretchy bodysuit, named "Scaphrande Lunaire". It can emit feeble to strong Ether light, and has "Gravity Stabilizers", which allows Leïla to be in total control regardless of the gravity she's in. She is also carrying Ether Reservoirs, which helps her use Rewind for longer periods of time.
* **Casual Clothing 1 :** A rather standard attire, consisting of a jacket, a dress and boots with a big bowtie.
* **Casual Clothing 2 :** Standard pyjamas she wears at the Starfall dorms. It has diamond patterns.

## Personality

Leïla has a grounded personality, being one of the most down-to-earth characters in Starfall. She always appear calm, modest and reflective. Out of everyone, Leïla had the hardest time getting into the Starfall Programme due to how the entry exam was made, but she made a lot of efforts to get in. People have a hard time taking her seriously due to her appearance, but proves each time that whatever she comes up with, ends up being true. She is the most intelligent character out of all the students.

She is clear-minded and has a tendency to focus a lot on her matters, it's hard to disturb her. She has a passion for reading scientific papers. She is laser-focused on her goal in the Starfall Programme to the point that she quickly dismiss the opinions of others. Leïla initially refused to hear Autumn's feelings because of that attitude.

Later on during the story, she learns how to care about her friends, and lets Autumn speak out, and accepts her feelings. The two end up dating and her growth in compassion helps her better understand her friends' thought patterns and how to plan missions better.

She slowly starts to grasp the gravity of what being immortal is, and makes her fear of losing her friends before her eyes, she looks for a solution throughout the story, and ultimately concludes that she needs to have a talk with her parents in order to understand what they wanted to achieve with her, and whether it could be undone.

## Background

**PROJECT LEÏLA:** Marie and Albert Timpanii are granted access to Artifice Core technology from the Ancient. The Earth Federation, which was one of the main clients of their laboratories, have pressured the two to use that technology immediately. They have made multiple attempts, and the only one to finally work, was their own child. Being born in-vitro, that child had the technology of the Artifice Core implemented.

Once born, Leïla sees the day and is the sole daughter of Marie and Albert. The project was classified by the Earth Federation, forbidding the two to talk about the project, even to their daughter, being a test subject.

Leïla lives a rather normal life, until the age of 9, where her Ether Constellation starts triggering. It completely stopped Leïla's growth and revealed her Rewind powers. As she becomes the target of bullying at school for her small size and being a nerd, she keeps asking her parents about the Core on her chest, with them being unable to give answers. This creates a distance between Leïla and her parents. She eventually develops a sense of distrust and starts looking for answers herself. The Starfall Academy was up her ally, and would be able to give herself a rank so she would be able to access classified events and documentations she couldn't before.

Leïla struggles to join the Starfall Programme Academy, but persists and gets into it, leading to the story of Galaxy Travail.

## Abilities

### Rewind

Ability that allows Leïla, willingly or not to manipulate chronobiology and the chronology of concepts. That ability has several techniques:

* **Recovery :** rewinding a body to a previous state before it was damaged, essentially reversing wounds and damages.
* **Humility :** rewinding Ether body in order to give unlimited amounts of Ether (only works on other people).
* **Patience :** allows Leïla to make a body age older or younger, including hers.
* **Fortitude :** grants boost to certain genes.
* **Charity :** gene alteration technique, whether it's to suppress, amalgamate or assimilate a gene factor.

This ability is tremendously powerful, and comes with a couple side-effects. Leïla later on is seen able to time-travel through her dreams, but is unsure whether she is a spectator or her actions actually distort the space-time continuum. Although not mentioned, Leïla's Rewind ability is one of the few abilities that are able to kill somebody effortlessly.
