Lyla's family lives in the middle class of LA. Her father works as a metal worker for all kinds of objects. He can do repairs as well as make objects out of metal. Her mother, originally from Japanese decent, is more into the entertainment business and works for the theater. 

After high school, Lyla is now working part time with her father. While working she is also taking two to three college classes for her mother. She continues to remain in the middle class with her mother and father. 

Lyla is quite the looker for a girl her age. At the age of twenty she is already at a height of 5'8 and has a weight of one hundred and forty five pounds. Lyla's body frame is rather small but despite this rather fragile appearance she is quite flexible and can strike fast at any opponent that faces her. 

Lyla has long orange-brown hair that comes down to her mid back. Lyla normally wears her hair down and has it braided in the back with two strands that hang down both sides of her face in front of her ears. Lyla's eyes are also the same color as her hair and have a round shape. Lyla also has her ears pierced and normally wears a set of purple earings that dangle.

Clothing wise Lyla doesn't really have a theme. She prefers light colors to dark and likes wearing a lot of white. On a normal day she wears jeans and a t-shirt. While she prefers to be dressed more normal her mother on occasion will make her wear a dress or skirt now and again. Lyla doesn't mind the skirts so much as the dresses. Most of them fit her really tight and are hard to move in comfortably. Those are the ones that she hates the most. 

Positive:

● Loyal;

Lyla is loyal to anyone who becomes close to her. She has a strong sense of protecting those who she deems as friends. She can also become quite flustered around her friends and go a little to far out of her way to do things for them. She is more relaxed around the people that she is loyal to.
 
● Courageous;

Lyla is very courageous in her life. Obstacles to her are just another challenge that she has to or wants to overcome. While Lyla can be scared, as she is human, she tries to take that fear and turn it into courage. This is especially true if someone needs her help when something bad has happened. However, she will freeze up if the fear is great enough.
 
● Focused;

Lyla is a very focused person. This trait allows her to get things done in a quicker and more efficient way. In Lyla's academic studies even if the subject didn't appease to her she has the will to sit down and actually focus on it to do the work and get the grades her parents would be proud of. 

● Devoted;

Lyla is a very devoted person. Once she has set her mind to something she will not let anything get in her way. Other than just schoolwork or grades this also plays on her loyal personality with friends. She is conscious of the people around her and will try to make her friends as comfortable as possible. 

● Serious;

Lyla can also be seen as a serious type of person. She often times looks at situations for being more serious then they need to be. To her a simple prank can make  her angry or maybe even a little frightened. While there is a downside to her serious nature it also helps in urgent situations. It allows her to retain a calm composure and think of the best possible way to approach things. 

Negative:

● Distant; 

Lyla is a distant person. She feels that people don't care about anyone but themselves. Until she gets to know someone she comes off as mean, rude and sometimes arrogant. This is more of a shell she puts on so she can't be hurt by people. 

● Combative;

Lyla has a combative nature to many situations. Due to her courageous personality in most situations her flight response does not come into play. Instead of trying to find the peaceful way out she will often take the combative way. There are occasions where she won't resort to fighting it out, but only if she thinks that is the best way of dealing with something. This side of her personality really shows up with people she doesn't know or people she is afraid of or jealous of. 

● Stubborn;

Lyla is a rather stubborn person. Once she comes up with an idea or thought she will see through with it to the end. The downfall of this stubborn personality is that she can't listen to reason once she has made up her mind. It has become a her way with no highway option. In most cases she should just be left alone until she herself realizes she is wrong or she finishes whatever she was doing. 

● Pessimistic;

This trait mostly comes from her mother's influence in the girls life. Instead of seeing everything as good Lyla constantly looks for the bad in the world or the situation. When she gets a call from her father she instantly assumes the worst like something has happened. This gets in the way of her making a lot of friends mostly because of her doubt of people and of how different situations may play out. 

● Mistrusting;

Lyla doesn't trust anyone. When she first meets someone they are instantly registered as either an enemy or just a passerby. She doesn't believe that people really have a reason to be nice to others unless its good for them. Lyla won't really trust or open up to anyone unless they become close to her and it still takes a while for her to completely have trust in that person. 

Lyla was born to Japanese mother and a American father. Her mother and father having met by complete accident. Her mother gave birth to lyla on January 7th 1992. She was healthy and it made both of his parents truly happy. Her mother was glad to have another female so she could teach her how to be a proper lady. 

At a young age Lyla was kept with her mother and away from her father and his business. Her mother began to teach her the importance of being a lady. Education and manners were the skills that she needed to succeed. Lyla learned from her mother and did these things for her but began developing more of a pessimistic personality and a concept to fix things. 

It was when she was ten that she found her father's workplace. Her mother had been a bit to hard on her and she had run away. It had only been accident that she had found him. Lyla's father was obviously worried and rushed to her wondering what had happened. 

From that point on Lyla started to slowly bond with her father instead of her mother. It was from this that she started to become more of a tomboy. Instead of the dresses her mother wanted her to wear she started wearing more pants and t-shirts. Her mother thought that wearing such things was completely against what a lady was about. 

She revolted against her mother. Soon enough Lyla's mother stopped talking to her daughter all together. Instead of her mother  Lyla's father would start to take care of her. Lyla began high school and went through it at the top of her class due to the pessimistic and perfectionism her mother had driven into her. 

Despite her mother not talking to her Lyla still wanted to please her. To try and get her attention she started taking Japanese at her high school. Originally she thought that the class wouldn't appeal to her much. Soon enough she got really into the language and began to try and speak with her mother. Her mother was quite surprised but slowly started talking to her daughter again. 

As a sophomore Lyla joined the schools fencing class. It would be this class that would really show who Lyla was as a person. She practiced hard and slowly improved so that by junior year she was the third best in her school. Local competitions helped to drive her to improve more and more during her junior year. 

Her father supported her during her sophomore year and helped her in whatever way he could. He was the one that gave her a place to train outside of school. Turning an old shed into a small arena was enough for the girl to get practice. It was during the junior year season that her mother slowly started to come to her competitions. This only assured her more that she was doing something right.  

For her seventeenth birthday, her father made her a blue rapier. Starting her senior year the fencing team found out that the clubs leader was moving. Everyone was at a loss for who to make the new captain. It was her mother who suggested that Lyla asked for the position. Lyla was actually shocked that her mother had suggested it. Lyla did what she had suggested and soon became the captain of her club. 

Lyla was happy that her mother was slowly starting to appreciate what she did. She continued her Japanese lessons as well and her mother continued to help her. Both her father and her mother continued to have an affect on her personality. She graduated from high school as valedictorian and was happy when both her mother and her father were present for her graduation.

The next step in her life was deciding what she was going to do with it. So to please both her mother and her father she did what they both wanted. Lyla started to apprentice with her father at the shop and take a few college classes for her mother. It appeased both of them and she continued the system to this very day.

Lyla is still a freshmen in college even though she has done two years of it because of only taking two or three classes at a time. She will be starting her sophomore year next semester. Lyla's work with her father has also improved and she has become good at forging weapons and works in her father's shop when she isn't attending her college classes.
