Biographies

Self-Introduction

"Oh... Who are you? My name is Layla. Idol...? Can it make money? Oh... okay, you pay for the rent. Thanks."

Character Description

Layla is a mysterious girl with vivid eyes and an intense stare. She spends her free time wandering parks and fields, feeding birds, approaching people at random and stirring up unusual conversations. As she is from Dubai, she speaks with incorrect grammar, and doesn’t seem to understand many of Japan’s customs, like when asking for "tons of cash" as her New Year's wish at the shrine. Because she had struggled with having to work part-time to be able to afford rent, she's very cautious with both money and food, although she does often indulge in ice cream.

Though the reason she came to Japan is initially ambiguous, she is very soon revealed to have escaped a forced arranged marriage after being encouraged to pursue her own happiness by one of her newly employed maids. While Layla's mother is supportive of her decision to become an idol and keeps in touch, it's supposed to be kept secret from her father, who is yet to discover her whereabouts.

Layla is particularly close with other foreign idols, most notably Natalia, and the two of them make up a unit called Sol Qamal.

Trivia and Fan Culture

Trivia

In Starlight Stage, her image stat specialty is Dance.

Fan Culture

Although Sol Qamal is formed only by Natalia and Layla, it has an unofficial "sister" unit which also includes Fueifuei, called Xing Sol Qamal.
- While there's no official unit with the three of them, they're constantly shown together in the official 4koma.
- She is also sometimes grouped with Nagi, Yume, Hijiri and Miu, since they share the same height of 150 cm. This fan unit is dubbed 150's (Or 150cm組, 150 cm Kumi, in Japanese).
Due to Layla and veteran voice actor Akira Ishida trending on the same day in Japanese twitter on April 21, 2023, some Japanese fans started joking that Ishida is Layla's voice actor, similar to Natalia and Akio Ōtsuka
