Layla is probably the most out-going, determined and fearless of her siblings. Throughout their childhood, she was the one often found making bets, proving others wrong, and causing (then getting herself out of) trouble. She was a gambler at times, a saint at others; and kept everyone who crossed her path and chose to stay on their toes. She had many friends when she was younger, of varying backgrounds and personalities. For awhile, she was the one often found hanging out with the "wrong crowd", though if you asked her she was merely trying to understand the misunderstood. Her mother and father helped her go to a sophistication camp at a few months old, a camp she had begged to be in for various reasons, and she came back a changed pup. While she was always eager to make friends with all, she chose carefully who she continued to associate with.
Layla quickly became the girl other females wanted to be, and males lusted after; but with her high standards, confidence and faith in her gut she made it clear she was off the market. Her every moment was filled with something, from exciting to dull she had her days planned. Learning became a passion, not a chore; and because of this she found she had the capacity for a vast knowledge. Her pretty looks made many think of her as dim, so instead of spewing her smarts at the first opportunity; Layla took to being quiet and "mysterious". She wanted to learn from the first moment who approached based on looks, and who approached based on a desire to learn her. Every day, a pawful of males approached her; looking for nothing more than a romance based on looks alone, and she turned them down with grace and force.
Layla had met few gentlemen, and even then most failed to meet her high standards. Her friend list grew ever longer, though the ones she interacted with almost daily remained few. Layla never revealed many secrets about herself to anyone, and in her home town felt she would always be just a pretty face. She was 2 years old when she decided she needed a change of more than just scenery, moving houses simply wouldn't be enough. She decided to travel, and four towns later landed in Cobalt. Each town before had lacked the authenticity, charm and opportunities Layla pursued. As soon as her paws hit the cobbled stones of Cobalt's main street, she knew she was home.
The first face she met was the same face that greeted most every new comer-- Charlize. A spunky, obviously intelligent girl who shared Layla's beauty, but lack of desire to flaunt it, the two became fast friends. For Layla, it was a dream come true and a sign to settle. She made her home on the outskirts of town, bordering into country, and found a job as a waitress by day, bartender by night. This gave her the chance to meet and greet every face she might come across, and make new friends; and secretly choose who she hoped would keep contact with her. Through this, she met many; her circle becoming larger than even the one in her home town.
Her relationships weren't always easy, and she did find more opportunities at dating in the new town. Her first date was Sunny, a Border Collie who was everything she could want-- but didn't return her interest. Undeterred by this, the two became good friends and continued to stay in contact. Layla later met Garth, who had interest in her; but she didn't return the interest due to him being Charlize's half brother. Her current beau is someone unlike her normal dates altogether-- a male named Gage who made her become the hunter for once.

- Kaia: Layla met Kaia on accident. It was a day where she was truly missing her family, and considering packing up and going home. Kaia happened to visit her son that evening, and ran into Layla as she raced home. She stopped her, questioned her sadness, and the two talked over a cup of coffee and hot cocoa for some hours. Layla left the meeting feeling better, and once more happy in her town, and Kaia left knowing she still held purpose in Cobalt. Layla would consider Kaia her "mother away from mother".
- Charlize: The first face Layla ever met in Cobalt, these two share a unique bond on Layla's end. While they may not interact as often as either of them would wish, both reach out as often as their busy schedules allow.
- Sunny: The first male from Cobalt that Layla dated, the two instantly had a spark; or so Layla thought. By the end of the night, it became clear she was alone in this. While normally the event would make a female bitter, it made Layla both happy to know she wasn't everyones' desire mate, and took down her slowly rising ego a notch. She and Sunny still keep in contact, though they rarely hangout.
- Appelsina: Appelsina is younger than Layla, and certainly like Layla's little sister. The two met when Appelsina attempted to enter the bar and got kicked out-- which bruised her pride more than anything. Layla remember almost going down the wrong paths, and took time to speak to Appelsina and provide advice, and offer consistent counsel if it was wanted.
- Garth: Garth approached Layla when she was visiting Charlize, expressing his attraction to her. Layla turned him down, saying even if she had found him attractive, she would never go after one of Charlize's siblings (half, full or no relation at all.) At first, Garth was angry, but he learned to get over himself; and began to approach Layla as a friend only. Now he would admit it was a ploy to try and earn her heart, but the two ended up finding they work a lot better as friends. Layla would say Garth is her best male friend.
- Gage: Layla met Gage one afternoon while she was in a meadow picking daisies. The strapping male was chasing a goat, and she stopped to watch; mostly to make sure he didn't harm the poor thing. When Gage caught up to who Layla later found out was Drogon, they interacted as brothers and caught Layla's eye. Gage, unused to attention from any female much less a looker like Layla, brushed her approach off and turned the gal into a huntress for the first time in her life. She found herself pursuing Gage, without even realizing she wanted to. The two go on dates often now, and Layla is happy with her "almost seeming desperate" attempts, as she puts it.
Personality
Layla is incredibly bold, though calm. She has a soft fire in her heart that burns brightly when she or someone she cares about is in danger. Layla is very close with all of her siblings and makes friends very easily. She makes relationships look like a peace of cake with her very go with the flow demeanor. Noticed mostly for her beauty, many don't recognize the intelligence waiting to burst just beneath the surface. Layla has a dark and mysterious side when you first meet her. This is mostly because she wants to see who is around for her, and not for her looks. While Layla is courted by many, she shows disinterest in most and is incredibly loyal when her eyes are set on one.
She enjoys traveling and learning new things, but also likes teaching others. She is very picky with who she socializes with, knowing your friends tell a lot about who you are as an individual. Mature, she gives off an aura of sophistication. She always has a snarky or whimsical comment to throw into any conversation, and can calm a fight in a matter of seconds. Layla is disinterested in drama, and sees little need for it. She tells it like it is, and makes her feelings and position known.
Layla is often the ring-leader of whatever group she is around on that particular day, and is sometimes the glue that holds them all together. Open minded and accepting of all those she comes across, Layla has never had a problem fitting in or making others feel welcome. Because of this, she is a delight and must have at parties. Despite her obvious social training, Layla would prefer a night in the woods out under the stars over a party indoors any day.
