El-Amin, Layla E60f4bb1
Name: Layla El-Amin
Country Affiliation: Magnostadt
Race: Magician
Tier: D
Class: Purple Magician - Life
Age + Birthdate: 18, June 12th
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual

Personality: Layla is a multi-layered individual with personalities of opportunity rather than actuality. She is a professional actor living out the perpetual role of anyone but herself on the grand stage of life. Deep down in the center of her soul the little girl of her youth who was filled with innocence, hope, and love still exist dancing through a desert oasis field of flowers.

This little girl hasn't seen the light of day in many years as Layla hides her both from the world and herself. Each person she meets gets to know a different Layla El-Amin and no one ever truly gets close to her as everyone is either a mark or a possible enemy. She has done and seen too much to ever let her guard down.

That said unless she is consciously making an effort against acting certain ways some traits do persist in every persona she dons. Such traits are strong will, stubbornness, and a tendency to avoid talking about herself and her past whenever possible. She also has an aversion to getting drunk, but is known in several personas to be quite flirtatious as she has learned her womanly charm can be quite useful in many different ways...

Likes:
Wandering the world and seeing how different cultures have created their way of life.

Alcohol, Layla loves to drink and almost always goes for the strong stuff, which she casually sips much to people's shock, and sometimes amazement.

Dislikes:
Despite her love of alcohol and drinking Layla hates to be truly drunk and cuts herself off for a bit as soon as she starts to feel the alcohol making her light-headed.

Storms and heavy downpours scare and unnerve her as they came so infrequently growing up in Heliohapt that she has never been able to get used to them.

Aspirations:Layla is very laid back and doesn't feel the need to have life goals, at least not strict ones and especially not deadlines, and simply likes to go with the flow of life. That said there are two clear things that guide her in life which is the desire for knowledge, and thereby power, and curiosity. She is a magician and unlike her mother she is not content with just knowing the magic she is most compatible with. Thanks to her former tutor Layla knows that with enough patients, practice, and persistence she could one day learn to use all eight types of magic and she is determined to get to that point sheerly for knowledge sake. She has no real need for such strength and merely wants to get there for the sake of knowledge and self satisfaction. The other thing that drives her is her curiosity of how the rest of the world goes about its days. How other cultures are similar and different to what she is used to and of where she might could settle down one day, should she ever feel the need or desire to do so, and be happy.

Phobias/fears: Large Bodies of Water: Having grown up in the desert where the only bodies of water were small lakes and ponds at the rare oasis Layla El-Amin has never learned to swim, having never thought she would ever need too. As such large and deep lakes, seas, and oceans are terrifying to her. As such she avoids prolonged voyages over open water, opting for the longer land routes whenever possible. Even quick trips over deep water tend to be avoided or at least delayed depending on how much she can bolster her nerves beforehand.

Face-Claim: Yahan from Sekirei
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Dark Purple
Height: 152.4cm | 5ft 0in
Weight: 45kg | 100lbs
Appearance: Layla at first glance is a typical woman from Heliohapt. In fact, the only thing odd is the color of her eyes which, like her magic, is a shade of purple. These eyes were described as the color of mulled wine, rather poetically speaking, by those she grew up with, especially her mother. Her height is rather average standing at 152.4cm/5ft 0in. As for her weight, it is a well-toned, well as toned as it can be given a mages fragile constitution, 45kg/100lbs. She keeps an in shape look to her appearance to her body which she shows off with her, often revealing, clothing for a couple of reasons. The first is she is young and loves romance and she feels keeping her appearances up will help her in that regard on a personal level. The second is more of a bluff tactic in which by looking like a possible warrior or another martial fighter hopefully it would discourage physical attacks. Beyond that, the only thing of note is her long black hair and darkly tanned colored skin that always looks as if kissed by the sun.
Rukh Alignment: White
Special Features: Purple Eyes

History: Layla Nejem is the only daughter and twin sister of her brother, Mahir, and the youngest child of four. Her next oldest brother, Imad, is three years older than her (17) and her eldest brother, Hakim, is two years older than Imad (19). Her father, Ikram, is a wealthy domestic and international merchant, and member of Heliohapt's International Trade Department, and her mom, Zaida Nejem, is a magician and daughter of a wealthy family who owns one of Heliohapt's largest oasis towns. It was clear from early on that Layla was also a magician like her mother when in a temper tantrum at two years old she threw up an unstable borg.

Zaida was filled with extreme pride as none of her sons had inherited the gift of magic from her. However, as Layla got older Zaida, who is a strength magician specialist, realized that she would have a hard time teaching magic to her daughter as she was clearly a life magician. As such when Layla turned 5 a private tutor was hired to teach Layla the use of life magic. Up until then, all her mother was able to teach Layla was how to stabilize and better make use of her borg.

Thus life went well for the next 10 years or so with Layla steadily learning to use her magical gift better. Though it would all go downhill shortly after she turned 15. It was at this point when her twin brother, Mahir, grew sick and ultimately died. The grief of his loss affected each and every member of the family and would ultimately lead to the downfall of their good fortune. Imad took it the second hardest, Layla, as his twin, was naturally devastated and hardly came out of her room for anything, and took up some rather unsavory ways to deal with his emotions. Namely, he went out seeking fights and ultimately picked the wrong fight one day and was beaten to a pulp so badly that he eventually died. This, in turn, caused Hakim to seek revenge by killing the one who had killed his brother. Unfortunately, as he landed the finishing blow the town guard arrived on the scene and took him into custody. After a trial, he was sentenced to death for the crime of murder.

Thus without any sons to carry on the family name and business, Layla found herself forced into an arranged marriage she didn't want so that the family business could be salvaged. Seeing how distressed Layla was and believing that she would be better off in Magnostadt instead of the trophy wife of a business deal Layla's tutor helped smuggle her out of the country a couple of days before the wedding was supposed to happen. For the next 2 years, they traveled together originally planning to head straight to Magnostadt but as the traveled Layla grew to love the cultures they came across and instead they traveled from city to city and country to country. However one night they were attacked while making camp on the side of the road about a day's journey to the next town. Their belongings were taken and they were left for dead. By chance or fate, a traveling troupe of nomad traders came across them the next morning, and while they were too late to save Layla's tutor they were able to save her. She spent the next year with the tradesmen healing and earning money before heading off on her own to finally go to Magnostadt and begin her study of magic in earnest.
Role-Play Sample: Xun sat under a olive tree off the side of the road sharpening her daishō set in the outskirts of Balbadd territory. Several years back she had made this most excepting nation her new home while not of in search of power, though she had never formally joined the nation. Sitting where she was she could see in some distant future raising kids in this nation and wouldn’t object to settling in permanently she knew now wasn’t the time. Only when she had completed her goal to gain access to magic and fulfill her promise to the city guard at Magnostadt could she settle down.

With a quick inspection of the edges on her katana and wakizashi she put up her whetstone and oil before wiping her blades clean with a rag and sheathing them. Standing up she reattached them to her hip and placed her pack on her back. So far her six years away from her homeland have proved fruitless in her search for power so she was headed to the home she abandoned all those years ago.
