⚜ In-depth Relationships ⚜
Personality:
♦ Extremely Kind-Hearted ♦ Rather Stubborn ♦ Overly Helpful ♦ Shy and Modest ♦ Exceedingly Mature ♦ Slightly Guarded ♦ Quite Bubbly ♦
Considered to be an extremely kind, and gentle old soul to all those she has the pleasure of meeting, Lailah is an exceedingly sweet and charming young lady; full of both grace and kindness, the rather dreamy-eyed angel is shown to care deeply for all those she believes herself to be close to, showering her friends and family with the love and affection she believes them to be deserving of, no matter who might think otherwise. So overly curious, and just full of life, Lailah tends to find herself (more often than not) walking into some sort of trouble, much to her older sister's dismay; the bubbly teenager's recently found confidence and self-belief in herself growing significantly over the years, despite her status within the supernatural world, helping her to see the friends she has made as figures that are approachable, offering them both council and comfort whenever any of them seem to need it, oftentimes spending her nights (when the times become too hard to bear, or when the pain of missing her parents becomes too much) sitting in the company of her friends or sister, causing them to worry about her throughout the daytime whenever it seems she has returned back to her normal, cheerful self without so much as a word.
Though coming off as sometimes shy at first when a situation seems to overwhelm her, Lailah does her best to carry herself with both grace and dignity though the hardship that gets thrown her way thanks to the judgement of most other supernaturals towards her race; the sweet-natured girl never really shows any signs that she is willing to allow the racial profiling against her species, or her older sister's overly protective and cautious temperament to get in the way of her living her life the way that she wants to- the young angel never seeming to have any issues with putting herself out there for others to see, and having no problems whenever it comes to being an open book, or making friends; and as the years have passed her by, Lailah quickly learnt, and began to stand up for herself against those who try to put her down.
Unafraid to berate, or to challenge people in positions of power; Lailah has, over time, managed to confide in those that she trusts so completely that she oftentimes finds it quite difficult to express what it is that she truly feels within her heart, however, the fast-thinking young woman is quick to speak up, defending not only her friends, but also those of whom she believes are being treated unfairly against anyone who goes against what she believes in her heart, whether that be friend, family, or even foe. Although a kind and graceful soul, Lailah is known for being quite stubborn whenever it comes to something that she truly believes in; always choosing to stand up for it, rather than backing down once she has already made up her mind, usually making it near impossible to convince the girl otherwise.
Extremely mature, and oddly grown-up for her age thanks to living her whole life under the influence of her older sister, Lailah oftentimes does all that she can to not be, or be considered a 'burden' to those she cares about in her life; the young woman doing everything she can and more to help out her sister (cooking, cleaning, etc.) and friends (helping with homework, advice, etc.); even going so far as to sometimes choosing to put her own needs aside in favor of others, no matter how difficult the task may seem for her- the girl trying her best at everything, and anything that she seems to set her mind to. Seen to be exceedingly beautiful to all those who meet her, Lailah (more times than none) attracts the attention of many a person who crosses paths with her; whether they meet with one another on purpose, or by pure accident- though despite her undeniably inherited beauty, Lailah is not a vain young lady; the curious angel always seeming to surprise those she holds dear to her heart, even when they themselves believe that they know everything about her, she always seems to find new ways to both stun and amaze them.
Coming across at times as being quietly confident, and extremely calm, Lailah has shown herself to be more than capable of becoming quite aggressive whenever her friends are shown to be in danger, or in the line of fire so to say; tremendously brave and courageous whenever the situation calls for her to be, the usually dreamy and extremely loyal young woman is unafraid to fight back against those doing wrong, however, she is quite quick to try and hide her more vulnerable side... to varying levels of success. Seen to be both a kind and gentle girl, Lailah sometimes tends to pull away from the company of others, becoming quite reserved and thoughtful, choosing instead to lose herself within her own mind, and oftentimes, in her own little world.
Unnaturally bright, and rather unique in her own way, Lailah has quite the aptitude for thinking outside of the box on general occasion; always seeming to come up with strange ideas that would (normally) otherwise be considered to be near impossible to pull off, however with the young woman's odd way of using her intelligence, she is known for being able to twist them to the point of being able to make things work out for the better.
Likes:
✔ Animals of all kinds; especially her new pet lamb.
✔ Cuddling with her friends, and others she cares about.
✔ Hot chocolates and marshmallows.
✔ Strawberries and pomegranates.
✔ Music; especially singing and playing the piano.
✔ Bubblegum, and the color pink.
✔ Reading (Fantasy mostly).
Dislikes:
✘ Swimming, and deep water (strong life-threatening fear).
✘ Riding bikes of any kind (doesn't know how).
✘ Being left completely alone.
✘ Being treated differently.
Hobbies: Not willing to allow the racial profiling against her species, or her older sister's overly protective and cautious temperament to get in the way of her living her life the way that she wants to, Lailah shows great talent and love when it comes to things like music, and reading; the young woman especially skilled at both singing and playing the piano for her friends, and her family.
Strengths:
⚜ Flight- growing up under the careful guiding eye of first her father, and then her sister, Lailah is able to fly using the large wings she has due to her birthright; however, while she is able to fly long distances, it does indeed drain her energy forcing her to have to land and rest.
⚜ Multi-lingual- raised by her older sister, and looking up to her, Lailah very quickly took to her sister's love of learning new languages, and can so far speak, read and write in Enochian (language of angels), English, Spanish, French, and Chinese.
⚜ Musical- exceptionally gifted when it comes to the musical arts, Lailah is exceedingly skilled when it comes to both singing, and playing the piano, causing some (in the past) to state that she has the 'voice of an angel'.
Weaknesses:
☠ Slowed Down- while she is capable of reaching incredible speeds when soaring freely through the skies; Lailah's wings are quite large and still growing, the tips of which are starting to drag lightly over the ground behind her, causing her movements to become slightly slower than that of a normal person when she has them showing, even when she seems to be rushing about.
☠ Exceptional Beauty- thanks to her heritage, Lailah is exceptionally beautiful to many of those who look upon her; and naturally, though oftentimes unintentionally, draws in and gains the attention of those who hold both well, or ill intent towards her- and much like her sister before her, while she has always been told she is pretty, Lailah doesn't realize the extent of which her attraction extends, and tends to become rather shy and humble towards those who try to compliment, or explain this to her.
☠ Aura of Light/ Smell- unbeknownst to her and thanks in large part to her angel blood; Lailah gives off a particular scent (strawberries and cream), as well as a soft and almost undetectable aura of light which are both able to be detected by other supernatural creatures, and hunters- the young woman herself not aware of either of these traits.
☠ Physical Weakness- born an angel, Lailah is well known to be physically weaker than those who are born of other races; her weakness not helping her any when it comes to the fact that her kind are hunted more than any other.
Brief Biography:
To be written.
Angel Abilities: To be written.
Other: Though never really talking about it without fist needing to be asked, Lailah has a small (however meaningful) tattoo situated just behind her right ear; the tattoo itself both chosen and done without the knowledge, or even the permission of her sister- and while she knows Seraphina wouldn't exactly understand, she plans on getting another when she feels like the time is right.
Quite the sentimental person and wanting to cherish every memory that she can, Lailah loves taking photos with her family and friends, and has a collection of photo-books and frames placed around her room, as well as a collage on the wall over her bed, filled with photos that she has taken throughout her life so far.
Theme Song:
"Photograph" by Ed Sheeran.
Lyrics:
Loving can hurt.
Loving can hurt sometimes...
But it's the only thing, that I know.
When it gets hard.
You know it can get hard sometimes...
It is the only thing, that makes us feel alive.
We keep this love in a photograph;
We made these memories for ourselves.
Where our eyes are never closing;
Hearts are never broken-
Times forever frozen still...
So you can keep me,
Inside the pocket,
Of your ripped jeans.
Holdin' me closer,
'Til our eyes meet,
You won't ever be alone...
Wait for me to come home.
