Layne is a very good looking young adult. She has a very attractive body and knows it. Her skin has a sort of Ochre shade of brown. It contrasts sharply from her yellow doe eyes, and long silver hair. People look at her and categorize her appearance as, soft and innocent. Which is good. It is what Layne is aiming for nowadays.
She loves wearing pastel colors. Light and soft on the eyes. One will almost always see her wearing and oversized sweaters and sweatshirts. She prefers them to be baggy and fall to her thighs. They are a staple in her lifestyle for two reasons. One, she gets cold easily. Two, she does her best to hide her well-endowed assets without being too obvious. Though, they still manage to hint at her large breasts and wide hips.
Her pants vary slightly. Sometimes she wears blue jeans. Sometimes she wears tights of varied colors, or capris. For shoes, it is pretty simple. Converses. They are the only types of shoes she has in her closet. Layne has all the styles. Leather, red, black with white laces, vice versa, tye-dye, see-through, and bunches more. They are her absolute favorite. They are casual looking, go with everything she wears, and good for running around all day. Just what a kindergarten teacher needs.

- Hocus Pocus - all the silly stories and lies Hocus Pocus - if you believe them, they'll come true, so listen...
- Layne is a very sweet girl who strives to please. She is a known eccentric who strives to always retain a bright disposition. Despite her age, she tends to act like a child. Finding amusement in the little things and constantly running around. This is one of the reasons why she chose to become a kindergarten teacher. She finds that she is able to easily relate with small children.
Layne is often very cheerful, however she becomes very easily distraught and worried for the sake of others. And, she is known to be quite the cry-baby. She tears up when people yell at her-- which is why she in turn, hardly raises her voice. She cries when other people cry. Heck, she cries when she stubs her toes.
She is very kind and usually goes with the flow. She does not voice her opinions often unless asked directly. Sometimes, Layne gets mistaken for being a people-pleaser, but that is not the case. People tend to believe that she will go along with whatever they say like she does with her students. That is false. When another is doing something wrong in her eyes, Layne will step in to do her best and correct them, politely at first of course.
One would not think it, but she gets easily ticked off in those situations. She can not stand it when she tells someone how to do something and they continue doing it incorrectly. She tries to suppress it, because she knows that it is a not a good way of thinking. People should do things their own way, but she can not help it. Layne rarely gets angry at people, but this the one sure-fire situation that is the exception. Eventually she will end up red in the face and screaming in the other person's. There has only been one occasion where she and another have ended up getting physical. She lost that fight completely. What was she thinking? Layne knows she is a weakling through and through. The thing is that she was not. Thinking, that is.
Eventually, she will apologize, if just for the lapse in decorum. She sure is not going to apologize for fighting because just like the other, she is too stubborn to think that she might have been wrong. After that, whoever they may be will end up on her bad list. No doubt about that. Layne is not openly disparaging or rude. No. She is just curt, and though she does not mean to, the aura around her will become increasingly hostile. She will be ready for another fight whenever.

- Hocus Pocus - if I keep up the deception Hocus Pocus - will you keep smiling for me?
- Twenty-six years ago. Robin T. Valois, a young business woman, partner in a thriving company. Terrance W. Ashley, a well respected employee of said company. One who was coincidentally being transferred to one of their other branch offices hundreds of miles away. Some people decided to throw a going away party for him. He was a good employee, and pretty well-liked. Everyone was getting drunk, Robin and Terrance included. Their minds were clouded. Terrance pulled her aside. All of a sudden she was in a small closet with him. Chest to chest in the dark. He whispered in her ear how much he wanted her, how he always had. Robin was not in her right mind. If she was she would never have taken the risk. Instead, she let him do what he wanted. Not really feeling anything, he was just an inferior co-worker. Later, they both walked out as if nothing happened. The next day she continued work, he was on a plane to his new position. Three weeks later, she began feeling sick. Lo and behold she was pregnant.
The news hit her like a train. She was not ready, and she had always prided herself of being prepared. That was not supposed to happen.
she allowed herself to indulge once and she ends up pregnant. Robin was conflicted. Did she want it? No. That was definite. But did she want an abortion? Could she even get one without anyone finding out? Maybe. Though, she was never able to bring herself to kill it. May might have thought of her as cold, but she would never take a life. So, she collected herself and got her butt to work. She worked diligently until her pregnancy began to interfere with her performance. Finally she took a maternity leave for the last two months of her pregnancy.
For her maternity leave she traveled to her mother's home in the countryside. Her mother, Nicolette A. Valois, was deeply surprised. Her daughter had not even given her a phone call since she moved out and now she was coming to stay until she gave birth in a month. Her daughter was always so stoic and independent. Nicolette ended up delivering Robin's child in her own bathroom, and at once, she fell in love with her granddaughter. Robin was. . .Not sure. Sure, she felt those pesky maternal instincts kicking in, but she was too busy to devote herself to an infant. She took a few days to recuperate and wrote for the birth certificate. Before, Nicolette knew it, her daughter was getting ready to leave again. Robin thanked her mother for the help and asked her to take care of her daughter.
Nicolette was a very doting grandparent. She would have given Layne the world if she could have. Layne was a very sweet child who loved her grandma like no other. She rarely even thought about her parents. Why would she need to? She had the worlds greatest grandmother who took care of her. She did not resent her mother, or miss her at all. She was just a topic in the back of a young Layne's mind.
Layne had a normal childhood. There was nothing really special about it. Her town was small so she lived in a very close knit community. They seemed to live by the motto, Takes a village to raise a child. When she was fifteen her grandmother fell ill and passed. At her funeral was the first time she saw her mother. A few weeks later she was moving in with her mother in a big city. The relationship between the two was iffy. Awkward. Neither one knew what to do. So, it ended up with them inadvertently avoiding and ignoring each other.
High school there was quite the change to say in the least. The students there much more brazen and loud. Layne got used to it quickly. She was cute and had a good body for someone her age. She was quickly accepted into the popular and they influenced more than she would ever like to admit. She hung with the wrong crowd and no one stopped her. She stayed out partying and drinking, and even slept around a few times. Bad choices have consequences.
She ended up pregnant at age seventeen. In her senior year. When she found out, she broke down. Locked herself in her room and did not come out for days. Too terrified to tell anyone. Missed her fourth day of school and her mother finally decided she had enough. She busted into her daughter's room and demanded to know what the hell was going on with her. Sobbing Layne told her how she messed up. "Don't hate me. I'm sorry." were the broken words Robin heard her daughter plead, and they broke her heart. She embraced her Layne for the first time. It was not one of those awkward 'Not really sure what to do. . .' types of hugs. It was really heartfelt. She told her daughter that they'd be okay and figure it out together. The whole situation reminded her of what happened to her seventeen years ago.
The two of them decided that Layne would see the pregnancy through. It was awkward going back to school for. Somehow, the fact that she was pregnant was already a well-known fact around the campus. All the people who used to hang around with her, gossip with her, flirt with her, avoided her like the plague. At first she felt abandoned and lost, but ended up getting used to it. It made her realize they were not right for her. She did not need them. So, she focused on her studies to make up for all the lost time and was content to the budding relationship blooming between her and her mother. She graduated as Salutatorian a few months before she was due. She was finally starting to make her mother proud.
At home, the two of them were excitedly getting ready for the baby's arrival. They had already bought baby clothes, decorated his room etc. . . Soon after something unexpected happened. Layne went into labor much to early and the child's premature birth lead to it's death minutes later. She was devastated. The hospital sent her home empty handed and dejected. Her mother had no idea what to do for her daughter. Not usually the comforting type. So she did what she thought was best. Sent her to a support group. at first, Layne was very resistant, but soon warmed up to it. Finding solace in the group of older women. In fact, it was there that she decided that she wanted to pursue a career in education. The group leader had also lost a child, but filled the void with her middle school students, so Layne decided to doe the same thing. She pulled herself together and got herself to college.
She graduated not too long ago and moved to the town of Marrow about a year and a half ago to accept a teaching position.
