Name: Layla Acuna
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Trainer Type: She is an aspiring artist.
Hometown: Nimbasa City
Appearance: Layla is a tall and pretty girl with a height of 5’9 and weighs 125 pounds. She maintains a healthy weight by eating nothing but healthy foods, such as salads, fish, and lots of fruit. Her eyes are a bright sea blue, and many people compliment her on her eyes. Her hair is just as dark as a pitch black night sky. She has a creative sense of style, always trying to wear the cutest clothes.
She mainly wears dresses that are about two inches above the knee. And though she tends to wear most of the trending colors, she does wear teal and light blue a lot, because those are her favorite colors. Layla never wears makeup, simply because she never sees the need to. But she is always wearing golden or silver hoop earrings, and since she loves art with a passion, her nails are always nicely painted.
When she was seven, her aunt gave her a necklace, with a silver chain and a gemstone of blue topaz. She keeps this necklace because of her close bond with her aunt, and she won’t take it off unless it’s absolutely needed. She likes to think that it brings her luck.
Personality: To the outside world, Layla is known to be very friendly. She tries to get along with everyone, even if the person is hard to get along with. She is cautious with what she says, because she feels like a first impression, makes the friend. She is a fun-loving person, who is always up for a challenge. She doesn’t say no to doing something interesting, reguardless of how dangerous it may be.Also, Layla never likes to do things by herself, she always have to have at least something with her, which is why Pokemon is perfect for her, because she is never alone and she does the two things she absolutely loves—spending time and being devoted to them, and winning.
As narcissistic as she may be, she is considerate, in a way. Sure, she stops every once in a while to make sure, her “beauty” is in check. But she will never leave anyone in pain. Because of her trait of kindness, she helps in anyway she can. And though she is very poor at spotting things, she can tell when anyone is not themselves, especially her friends. However, her pokemon are her first priority, always. Whether they may be training, exploring new places, or just simply lounging around, she always makes sure that they aren’t missing a beat.
Honestly, people think that unhappiness is practically banned from her pokemon. But overall, whatever trainer she comes in contact with, whoever champion she battles, or whatever wild pokemon she bumps into, Layla gives it her all in everything, and she won’t be satisfied until her pokemon are satisfied, because no matter what, her and her pokemon, will always stick together.
History: Born and raised as an only child in Nimbasa City, Layla Acuna always loved to explore what a city could offer, even as a child. She was never inside her house, she was either playing at the amusement park, with the harlequins that were dispersed around town, watching the pokemon musicals, which she hoped she could be a part of one day, or she was hanging out with Nimbasa’s gym leader, also Baileys long time friend, Elesa, who has known Layla and has been dear to her since she was born. Her mother, Bailey, was always supportive of Layla, and loved her with everything, especially since Layla was her only child. Her dad’s name is Javier, but that’s just about all that Layla knows about him, that and the fact that he’s a workaholic. She never really knew her dad because he was never home due to work.
Then, one day, when Layla was just shy of turning nine, he called Bailey telling her that he had to go on a business trip to China, he never came home. Layla and her mother never found out what ever happened to Javier. Although Bailey was so devastated, that she became nasty towards Layla for a long time until she finally got help, it never hit Layla hard at all, simply because she never really saw his face in her whole life. She did realize that from now on, she was truly fatherless, plus a crazy mean mother. But Elesa was there for her the entire way, never doubting her for a moment and countering every mean thing Bailey spoke to her daughter with beautiful nice things, such as she worth more than any amount of gold, and that she shines bright and she can go as far as she wants to go, nothing can stop her from doing what she is capable of doing, which is a lot. And as Layla grew older and Elesa became busier, Layla would remember what she said when she needed it if Elesa herself couldn’t be there, such as she was beautiful and she is unstoppable if she wants to be and such. Then, Layla started thinking about those things more often, and that’s how her narcissism came about.
Layla is kind because she feels that first impression is best, and also, she doesn’t believe being mean and rude gets you anywhere, as she experienced with her mother. From the time she was nine, to the time she was sixteen, she was dealing with a mom who came to doubt Layla in every way, a mom who said she was useless and worth nothing, a mother who said that Layla wasn’t her daughter, put her down like she was nothing, someone who told her she hated her and was soon going to get revenge for what happened and was going to take it out on her, and someone who beat her with whatever she could find, mainly wooden spoons. One day, she ended up attempting to stab her daughter. As a result of that, Layla ended up with a deep stab wound on her back that ended up getting infected. The doctors managed to get it disinfected, but they told her that scar would never go away. Layla never revealed that it was her mother who had done that to her, and insisted it was a home invader. Soon enough, Layla was tired of it, and saw that her mother was going nowhere with her insulting her and beating her. So she got her help. After a few months, Bailey ended up the a bit of her old self that she used to be before Javier disappeared, and deeply and sincerely apologized to Layla for all the physical and emotional damage she had done to Layla. Layla had always been a sweet and beautiful person on the inside, but this experience has changed the way she talked to everyone.
Just after Layla turned seventeen, Elesa encouraged Layla to venture out into the world of Pokemon. Layla asked Bailey if she could venture out into the world of Pokemon in the Johoto region. She was all for it and helped Layla out with getting on a boat and everything. She climbed on a Unova ship to go to Johoto after saying her happy, yet tearful goodbyes to Bailey and Elesa. When the ship took off Layla was directed to her room and set her stuff down and laid flat on the bed. As she felt the ship sway back and forth calmly, she said out loud to herself
“Wow, I’m sailing to the beginning of my new chapter, to the world of Pokemon. Here I come, new adventure. Here I come, Johto.”
