Lailah is a main character in Tales of Zestiria. For a long time, she has been waiting in the priests' legendary sword for a new priest to make a contract with. Lailah forms a contract with Sorey and guides him as he tries to gain all of the powers of a priest.

Overview[]
Lailah is the Fire Seraph who has been residing in the Shepherd's legendary sword, waiting for a person who has the qualifications to wield it. She forms a contract with Sorey and guides him into his journey to become a Shepherd. She also forms pacts with Mikleo, Edna and Dezel, granting them the power to purify hellions and armatize with Sorey. Lailah fights with book pages and Fire-based seraphic artes. Her true name is Fethmus Mioma, which means "Lailah the Pure."
Fighting Style[]
Lailah uses divine Fire artes in battle by channeling her spirit power into paper. She is able to perform attacks that are both long and close-ranged, and she has the highest arte defense among the cast of playable characters. Lailah's artes tend to have a slight delay in their activation when she lights the paper on fire, and as such, she can be left vulnerable if the target is not regularly being kept off balance, which can work against her since she has low defense.
She also has difficulty hitting smaller enemies such as Leech hellions. It should be noted that, depending on the terrain on which she is fighting, Lailah's attacks can miss if she is positioned higher or lower than the enemy; therefore, it is advisable that she fight on even ground as much as possible. Despite the disadvantage, Lailah's artes have a large radius and can affect nearby enemies if they happen to flock or when she is surrounded. Her seraphic artes can remedy her cons since they are capable of hitting multiple enemies if they happen to be close by, regardless of height.
