She really has no desire for friends, feeling that it's better to be alone than to get hurt and abandoned. Despite her silent nature, however, she has a very bad temper and can be fiery once she's angry. The only time Layla is loud and open is when she is in her room, controller in hand. Her release is playing video games and screaming obscenities into her microphone. That was the one time she feels anonymous and that she can let everything out. She loves to read and watch horror movies. She also likes to go hunting with her father in the winter. She hates being lied to. That one of her biggest pet peeves. She also dislikes know it alls. She feels that if the moment doesn't call for it, you shouldn't flaunt your intelligence. Layla is cripplingly afraid of fire.

History

Layla's reclusive nature started the day her family fell apart. Her mother and younger sister were killed when Layla was 15. She and her father had been out hunting. Their home had caught fire while her mother and 4 year old sister were sleeping. They didn't wake up and never would again. The whole situation traumatized her so much that she speaks very rarely and is mortally afraid of fire. On her 16th birthday, her father paid for her to get a tattoo. She got a rose spiraling up her spine, petals falling to the ground, igniting as they fell. Above, across her should blades, the words "When she awoke, her world was on fire." were written, looking like they'd been scorched into her skin. A memorial to those she never wanted to forget.
