She is approachable, the sort of person who you would entrust with your deepest and most guarded secrets. Although pessimistic she is always seen with a smirk on her face whatever situation making her seem rude.. or kind, depending on said situation. She isn't one to jump into a conversation for no reason and will only speak when she feels is needed or is spoken to which makes her come across as mysterious, but around people she trusts she is an open book. When she does speak for no reason it is usually under her breath and sarcastic or with humorous intention.. although no one hears it. [b][color=Turquoise]Biography[/color][/b] Laila was brought up in a small countryside commuters village in Dorset near the coast. Both her parents worked in London and were always too busy to look after her, and so the nanny was more of a parent than both her mother and father have ever been. Growing up in an area with a population of about 400 people was pretty easy and relaxing for Laila, she never felt as if anything was missing and honestly didn't care for romantic relationships. However her parents thought otherwise, they started to notice that she was less sociable than the other teenagers in the village and believed she was lonely, when the headteacher of her school mentioned Ivy Wood Academy they jumped at the chance and sent her there without a second thought. Of course she was completely against the idea. The only person she loved was her nanny, the woman who had been looking after her and caring for her for 16 years, she saw her as a mother figure but the nanny quit after a dispute with Laila's real mother which broke Laila's heart and made her turn against her birth mother. Laila assumes that she was sent to this academy so that her parents don't have to look after her and the whole 'match' idea is just a cover up excuse. [/center]
