Layla is a playable character in the 2020 video game Genshin Impact.
She is a student in the Rtawahist Darshan who specialises in Theoretical Astrology. Chronically sleep-deprived and of poor health as a result, Layla believes that "The Stars' Blessing" is the reason she wakes from sleepwalking to find her papers fully completed.
Appearance[]
Layla has fair skin, large golden eyes with white pupils, dark blue hair that fades to a lighter shade closer to the tips, and pointed ears.
Layla's hair is styled into twintails that twirl at the ends till about hip length. Her fringe is shoulder-length and also twirls at the ends. She sports a gold headpiece similar to a diadem adorned with a star-like ornament. Her indigo "hood" is similar to that of a dupatta drape. Sometimes, it is also wrapped around the waist (which Layla also sports a similar design) or shoulders, however, it is modified at the back tip to resemble a night cap with a golden cuff.
Layla's outfit consists of a black tunic with a white front, white tights with gold rings around her left thigh, and golden sandal heels. She also has puffy, detached indigo-colored sleeves. Around her wrists she sports thick gold bangles with star-shaped chains dangling from them and black gloves with golden nail guards on her first three fingers. Around her waist is a long piece of indigo fabric tied together to form a belt with a number of gold details. Her Cryo Vision is attached to a spot behind her tunic above her belt.
Personality[]
“A Rtawahist student who specializes in Theoretical Astrology. Heavily prone to somnambulism and locked in a grinding war with sleep deprivation, the problem of restful slumber is a most troubling one to her.” —In-game character attributes and profile page text
Due in part to the Akademiya lifestyle, Layla is highly devoted to her studies, but this has also left her somewhat paranoid and severely sleep-deprived, making her very timid and looking like she could collapse from exhaustion at any moment. Despite these traits, Layla is unusually perseverant, having outlasted several of her classmates who had joined at the same time as her.
Layla's lack of sleep is so severe that she ends up sleepwalking in the night, where an alternate personality manifests. This persona is energetic and determined, helping solve all of her problems (who dubs the present Layla as "Daytime") in an instant. When Layla wakes up, she expresses surprise as to how her papers had been completely finished. She appears to be unaware of her alternate persona, instead believing that she is blessed by the stars.
