Layla

Appearance
Layla is taller than her mother, lucky for her. She has long light brown hair and golden eyes. Those are the most noticed feature. She is pale like her moth. Due to having a non-combative discipline, Layla is muscular for a female, thanks to training for physical combat just in case. She can be found wearing typical fancy attire, or jeans and a nice shirt when not working.

Personality
Layla is a very kind person. She seldom shows outward dislike of a person. She genuinely is a nice person. She has a sarcastic side to her, she often uses around those who she works with. She can be very daring and bold, not afraid to speak up when she needs to. Only when discussing her father will she ever show anger or disgust. She can also be blunt at times, especially to those she interrogates.

Backstory
Layla grew up to be totally different from her parents. As she was born in the middle of the war with Mevolent, Zafira had her live somewhere in America where Mevolent’s forces were not present. She didn’t really know much about what her parents did until she was older and began to understand what they fought for. Layla of course joined the fight, having taken pleasure in once making Nefarian Serpine believe he was being executed. It’s unclear how she survived that encounter. She fought from around age 20 until the end of the war.

During the war Layla worked with a select group of Sensitives. They often interrogated prisoners for any information they could find. Unfortunately for some, they didn’t quite survive some of Layla’s interrogations. It wasn’t uncommon as it was war and sometimes bad things had to happen. Nobody knew of her parentage until around the last 6 months of the fight. By then, she was quite safe from anyone.

When the war ended, Layla was offered a position within the Irish Sanctuary by none other than Meritorious himself. He had seen what she was capable of and decided she was someone who he preferred on his side. From then on she worked as an interrogator and was quite content. She didn’t break anyone’s minds like she did during the war, she was warned to not do so unless absolutely necessary in self defense.

After Ravel’s failed attempt on magic revealing, Layla did receive some backlash. Many did not fully believe she had been clueless. However, it was eventually proved that she was innocent. Occasionally she now experiences odd looks from others who come to the realization exactly who she’s the daughter of. Layla resents every single thing her father did during that plot. She is rumored to have even confronted him about the murder of Ghastly and Anton, but the only one to tell the story besides her, is dead.

RP Plot
Layla continued to work under Supreme Mage Sorrows. Layla wasn’t overly fond of the Supreme Mage, but was respectful. Layla kept herself under the radar, knowing some people were still not fully okay with her. Once Ravel had died, Layla began to visit with Zafira more. Layla kept these visits quiet, as safety was important. She has no clue what her mother is up to now.

Layla was the one to discover Sarah Sorrows dead body. After going past the throne room in the morning and popping her head in to say hello, she discovered the murder. The sight was disturbing to her and she immediately went to find someone who deals with murders, which was Stark. Layla would later be part of the emergency committee to elect a new Council.

Zafira Kerias
Layla’s relationship with her mother is strong. Zafira was around as much as one would be during war and as a solider, as Layla grew up. Zafira was a major influence in Layla’s choice to fight in the war. Even after the war, she remained in touch with Zafira and the two had frequent visits. During the recovery time Zafira went through after the Gnarl incident, Layla went over to America and spent time with her mother. That was a time in which they were able to make up for what Zafira had been part of. Layla doesn’t forgive her father, but came to forgive Zafira for foolishly following Ravel’s idea.
