OVA
Description
Layla is an LRIG, a card-based being, who originally belonged to a Selector named Kaede during the second round of Selector Battles. In Lostorage conflated WIXOSS -missing link-, her backstory is revealed through Kiyoi Mizushima’s flashbacks. Layla has long blonde hair, green eyes, and a fanged, fierce appearance; she wears a revealing outfit reminiscent of a viking berserker warrior and orange nail polish. Her personality is brutal and sadistic, with a deep love for combat and a strong desire to fight strong opponents. After losing a WIXOSS battle against Kiyoi, Layla took over Kaede’s body, but she feels uncomfortable as a human and longs for the thrill of battle. Her motivations are driven by this craving for conflict and a need to reclaim the excitement she experienced as an LRIG. In the story, she serves as a supporting antagonist and a former adversary of Kiyoi, with her presence highlighting the consequences of the Selector system and the fates of those who lose. Her key relationship is with Kaede, her original Selector, and she also has a contentious history with Kiyoi. Layla’s development focuses on her struggle to adapt to a human existence and her eventual reintegration into the new round of battles. As an LRIG, she possesses combat abilities typical of her card form, but her specific powers are not detailed beyond a noted aggressive fighting style.
