Ancestor:
Bast, the Goddess of Cats and Protection. She is depicted as a woman with a cats head, when Ra was the Head of the Pantheon she was one of the 'Eyes of Ra' decimating his enemies and protecting the cities of Egypt. When Osiris came to be the Head, she was somewhat 'demoted' being replaced by the goddess Sekhmet. With the help of the new appointed Sekhmet, her and Bast were able to defeat the serpent Apep, and to this day, the descendants of Bast have a sworn feud with the Apep siblings. When the Greek influence came to the Egyptian lands she was paired with Artemis.
Powers:
Agility- Layla is very quick and agile, with ease she can run long distances and climb through trees. She takes this skill into play when it comes to gymnastics, with this ability she can stretch and bend at will. This can be used to her advantage when fighting, if she would be a villain she would relate to Catwoman.
Connection with Felines- Ever since she was a child, Layla had a special connection with felines. She could feel their emotions and even communicate with them, she even sometimes treats them like humans.
Minor Protection- Bast was even considered a minor god of Protection, Layla has inherited the ability to 'dampen' abilitys at her will, although the dampening effect is only minor, it could change the difference from life or death...
Weaknesses:
"Oh great now I'm telling you EVERYTHING!"
Layla absolutely hates dogs, she hates the way they look, she hates the way they bark, she hates every little thing about them. As a little girl she was bitten by one, and she hated their guts ever since. If she sees a dog on the street she will avoid it at all costs. She also has a weird affinity for shiny objects which could lead her into danger. If she saw a shiny ring in the middle of a lake she would swim all the way to get it. Layla also is very gullible to everything, her brother used to play tricks on her all the time, even now she could be tricked into drinking a bottle of seaweed to induce beauty.
Strengths:
+Her Voice: Layla is a gifted singer at heart, she sung in balls, at parties. It's a wonder why she hasn't made it into a career yet.
Thoughts:
"Personally I think that one day, the Norse, Egyptian and the Greek will co-exist in a well working community... Yeah, not likely!"
Personality:
"And I said... What was I going to say again?"
Caring, Funny and Beautiful, Layla is a giant social butterfly who enjoys life. She could befriend a rock if the tried, well once she did, but that's another story. Although she likes the company of her brother, as she mostly hangs out with him. It's actually common for the two to be seen together mostly, he is a bit protective of her but she thinks that's just 'Normal Brother Behaviour'. People think of her as a pretty face, but really she is nice and caring about those around her, but the one thing that she even wouldn't stand for, is the harm of one of her own. An Egyptian, even if it meant protecting...the Apep siblings...
If she is involved in something very saddening or even a break-up (which is very very rare, it only happens if she has a true connection to the guy) she will go into a dark state of mind. Locking her self in her room, missing school and isolating herself from the world. The only people she will see is her brother or the company of her black and white cats 'Alko' and 'Akil'. She will just stare out the window or sleep. This would go on for about a day and a half, or even two days.
Layla is one person you don't want to get angry, when she is she hides it. Instead she makes up funny retorts and walks away, she considers herself cunning like that. Being the better person, but with the people that she just can't stand, she will go straight ahead and punch them in the face. But this only happens rarely. Layla can be clingy when she dates guys, but this would only be a sign of love. If its just a friends with benefits ordeal, she won't show any sign of clingy-ness, but she will be over friendly to the person.
When Layla is working at the Music Store, she is usually seen with headphones on listening to music, she works at the front counter serving people. She likes all kinds of music from:
+Jazz
-Dubstep
+Classical
-Electronic
+Pop
-Blues
The only kinds of music that she absolutely hates is Rock, Metal and Screamo, they kind of scare her.
Open-Minded || Imaginative || Friendly || Carefree || Gullible || "Fantabulous"
History:
When Layla was a small girl she used to see the wonder and happiness in things, with her older brother they used to explore in the nearby forest. Making an adventure out of it, pretending that they were people who had magical powers. When she reached the age of seven her mother and father sat her down and started to talk about how they were descendants of Bast herself. At this Layla was thrilled, she asked so many questions like, "Are there other descendants of Gods and Goddesses on Earth?" or "Does that mean brother is like me?" she was a child full of happiness and wonder. Her parents say that even now she has a open mind, and a fertile imagination.
When she was 10, her brother and her went out into the woods, it was a windy morning and they just finished their breakfasts. They decided to climb the giant trees, Layla was ahead of her brother as all the practice in gymnastics paid off. She stood on a tree branch with glee, then she felt herself being lifted away by the wind. She was falling, and it was a long way down, before she hit the ground she was caught by her brother. Ever since that day they have been inseparable. In her early high school years she started had gotten her first boyfriend, it was only until the breakup that she knew about her 'dark phase' ever since then she has been fairly careful about who she dates...Well, if their drop dead gorgeous then she will date them hands down. (Bwahaha!)
When the Greeks came to Northbay, Layla was happy to meet them. Some were a bit more hostile than the more friendly ones, but that didn't matter. She saw this as an opportunity to have more friends!
