History
Arranged Marriages. They used to happen all of the time in the Pureblood Society. This was exactly what happened to Elizabeth Favroli and Eric Vivant. Elizabeth was a young petite girl of six years old when she first heard she was bethroted to a boy named Eric Vivant. Poor girl. Elizabeth didn't got a boyfriend because of this. She refused to let herself get attached to one when she would be marrying another. Eric, on his turn, was only told when he was nearing his last year at Hidden Magic. Yet when the two first met they seemed to hit it off well. Now in the end they've learned to respect one another and though they wouldn't like to admit it they love one another. The result of their love is Layla, once again they wouldn't like to admit that. Layla was born on the 12th of December making her a Winter Child and the Saggitarius to be her zodiac sign. Layla was a calm child, one that was only heard when hungry. For the rest she didn't even giggle. She was silent and calm making her an exceptional baby since many like to scream at the top of their lungs. Yet being such a silent child Layla was a very playful baby and liked to tug at her mother's hair every once in a while.
Layla continued to be a rather playful child and loved the outdoors when she grew a bit older. She loved to go in the woods that were nearby and liked to play in them all day long. Once climbing in a tree Layla fell down and owned herself a scar on her knee, which she still has and can be seen when she's wearing a skirt. Of course she wears long skirts ever since. Layla has had a good childhood spending it in the woods. Nothing more to be added. Oh, yes. She was Daddy's Child.
She spent her school years in the presence of Wainwrights, Westwoods or by herself. Euhm. For the rest she's having quite the biring life except for her cousin standing up to he pureblood beliefs and choosing her own path ending up in Layla admiring the girl and looking up to her. Deciding she should follow her cousin's example Layla too soon broke from her family after her school years and is no longer in contact with them. She thinks their fools. Layla has been interested in Mythology since a child and it is why she has now become the Mythology Teacher.

Personality
Layla kind of is a gentle woman. The woman that was placed entirely wrong at first sight. Being silent, romantic and a shy girl doesn't really gives her the typical reputation that was said about her House: confident, smart-ass and hard. Yet she's not the one without self-esteem or self respect. Though some people say she would have fit better in Westwood Layla totally disagrees with that. Layla thinks of herself as a true Wanwright as she is smart and possesses the qualities the hat describes as Wainwright. She even thinks, at various times, that she used to be a better Wainwright than the other Wainwright's who have become snobby and no longer smart enough to think wide and be open for ideas. To be quite honest Layla even thinks those Wainwrights should have been sorted into Stuart but she thrusts the hat and won't even dare to question it's choice as the hat gave her her very own house where she would have lived and breathed for seven long yet magical years.
Her luck depended on that hat since if she'd been a Stuart her personality would have been broken by now and if he'd put her into Michibran she'd have died by now with all their idiotic games at times. But Layla does agrees that if she wouldn't have been a Wainwright she certainly would have been a Westwood. That's why she holds most respect to those two houses. Wainwright and Westwood. She doesn't dislikes the people of the other houses, not at all but at times they're just too much for Layla. That's probably the main reason she gets along the best with Westwoods and Wainwrights who aren't snobby. Maybe even at times with Wainwrights who are snobby. But it's rare and something unsual for Layla as she hates snobby people.
Being a more shy girl many people think they can boss around Layla. That's a big mistake. Layla won't let people boss her around or hurt her. Because even if she's shy and silent she's definately not insecure and knows how to stand up for herself despite some people's prejeduces to wards Layla and her personality. Besides being shy Layla also is a very silent girl that likes to stay in the picture but keep on the background. The best friend that lends a shoulder to cry on. That's the kind of girl Layla is. She doesn't needs to be popular to be happy. She's happy knowing she is herself and loves herself. It's all she needs to be happy. Though being shy and quiet it's better not to be on her bad side because you really don't want to be on her bad side. Layla can be pretty mean and venomous when you're on her bad side. Looks can be deceiving. That's the golden rule you need to keep in mind when being around Layla. She may look as sweet as sugar but she can be very venomous and mean when she wants to be. Though Layla only is like this with a good reason like protecting herself. It's not as if she'll hurt you just for fun. She isn't like that. If you are however on Layla's bad side you better stay away from her or be crushed when she does finally shows she has a voice whith which she can talk.
Some of Layla's quirks are the fact she likes to compare real life with the ones the characters have in her book all the time. Another quirk is that she bites her nails and another one is the fact she loves to play with her hair. Twirl it around her finger, comb it with her fingers, everything. Layla is a nervous person which can get her to drum her fingers are tap her feet easily which is annoying for the people around her. Layla can be a tad bit agressive... But only when you succeed in angering her. Layla can be very caring and gentle once she cares about you making her very nursing at times. If she were a type she'd be the motherly type.
