Lala is one of the two main characters in the anime Kiki to Lala no Papa to Mama ni Aitai, an OVA centered on the Sanrio characters known as the Little Twin Stars. She is the older sister of Kiki, and the twins were born on the Omoiyari Star in the Yume Star-Cloud. Lala has long pink hair, which in earlier designs was sometimes depicted as blonde, and she wears a white outfit reminiscent of an angel, reflecting her origin as a star child. Her father gave her a magical star wand before she and her brother left for Earth, and this wand serves both as a guide for their journey and as a tool to help them fly, as the flying star carried by Kiki requires the wand to determine direction. Lala is gentle, caring, and responsible, often showing concern for her younger brother, especially when his curiosity leads him into potentially dangerous situations. She worries about him but also understands that he is trying to protect her in his own way. Despite occasional disagreements, the twins always reconcile quickly, and their bond remains close and supportive. In this particular story, one of the happiest days for Lala and Kiki arrives when they receive a present sent from their parents, which sparks their desire to see them again. The narrative follows their journey to reunite with their mother and father, who sent them to Earth so they could learn to shine as brightly as they were meant to. Lala s role in the story is that of a guiding and stabilizing presence, using her star wand to lead the way while her brother carries the flying star that allows them to travel through the sky. Her motivations are driven by love for her family and a wish to be reunited with her parents, which aligns with the overarching theme of spreading happiness and kindness to everyone she meets. In terms of abilities, Lala possesses the magical star wand given by her father, which is essential for navigation and flight. She also has the power to make animals out of clouds, and she and her brother are accompanied by plush toys named Puff and Poff, which were made for them by fairies from sky, rainbows, stars, and clouds. Over the course of the OVA, Lala demonstrates emotional growth as she navigates the challenges of the journey, balancing her protective instincts with her trust in her brother. Her key relationships include her close bond with Kiki, her affection for her parents, and her warm interactions with the fairy friends and cloud animals they encounter. Lala is defined by her kindness, her sense of responsibility, and her quiet strength as she and her twin brother strive to reach the parents they miss so dearly.
