Layla Nybelibali

"'I'm fine.'"A Fire Genasi from Eastmawl, she was nobody really special... her family was average size, raised by her dads Numair and Azhaar and mom Yasmeena. She had 3 siblings, named Shukri, Razeen and Zaidaan.

She worked as a herbalist's apprentice and did odd jobs around the village, she wasn't ambitious and she was content with her life. ... when the Phoenix, Tayira Anaar, came showed up and destroyed the village and killed many people. Layla's sister Razeen attempted to fight the Phoenix to submission but failed, and offered her body to the creature - but couldn't contain the Phoenix Layla pleaded for her sister's life and the Phoenix took her as a host instead, thus sparing Razeen.

Tayira and Layla battle for dominance of Layla's mind and body, and it's very tense - this also granted Layla her powers, which she's desperate to get rid of. She came to Umberthroat to find an expert on possession and exorcism.- instead she encountered Coach whose misunderstanding of what she needed, something Tayira found incredibly amusing, and tagged along with him to a game of dodgeball one day where she met Thynerius, with whom she had a cordial acquaintanceship with.

Once Coach realized that Layla was looking for an exorcism rather than exercise - after a particularly fiery bout of destruction when a Horned Knight accidentally enraged Tayira, with significant difficulty Layla managed to get Tayira under control and keep the building from burning down... and then decided maybe instead of JUST exercise she needs someone to help contain the flames,so he introduced her to Lily.

Layla was immediately smitten with the Druid
