Personality

I find your lack of faith in saint_nirvanne pretty disturbing… Look, there are two reasons why you should care about Her blessings. One, it's good for your mind and body. Two, it can fortify your sanity in this place. Nobody knows when someone will finally get snapped…

Laila Ai

Originated from a foster outside the capital town of Eremidia Kingdom and raised by the sisters of Church of Nirvanne, Laila embraces the value of peace and joy the Church has taught. A naturally kind girl, and oftentimes she talks in an energetic tone regardless of the situations.

Laila is a worrywart girl especially if it's about her only family, Cad, who was conscripted by the Kingdom years prior to the event of Imperial Simulacrum. She often expresses her worries to anyone survived in the Sanctuary and often asking for her brother's whereabouts.

Alongside her cheerful nature, Laila is easily frightened even with a slightest of menace and is a rather clumsy one especially in moments when she has to be focused on something or when she's attempting to summon saint_nirvanne's divinations, making her a bit unreliable at several critical moments.

Abilities

As a cleric in training, Laila is able to call forth saint_nirvanne's divinations and make use of benefits provided by the revelation she invokes, including: dispelling ailments inflicted on one, providing layer of protection, healing her allies or damaging her enemies by attesting her target's faith, and bringing one back from brink of death. The divinations Laila may invoke are limited by the lack of practices, dampening the potentials of invocations she can pull off.

The “Cleric Tenets” she follows forbids her to wield bladed weapons. For that reason, Laila prefers a flail as a self-defense weapon. However, she rarely uses her weapon even if the time calls for it and instead she relies more on the aforementioned invocations.

Among other Survivors, Laila is one of the few who's able to tend others' wounds and take care of ailments even without her own extraordinary ability. She had undertaken medical training in the Church of Nirvanne as well as some other training around herbalism, alchemy, and psychology. All these benevolent skills, however, are hindered by her lack of experiences and will to use all her knowledge to help others.

Past (Supposed) Appearances

Eremidia: An Empty Tome

Laila Ai was meant to appear in Eremidia: An Empty Tome as a supporting character. As a cleric in training who snuck into the expedition team's Airship, she hoped for a reunion with her brother who joined in the expedition but instead, she finds herself in the outlandish realm of The Rift.

Lore

From the monastery at the heart of Nirvanne's holy city, where the devotees of Nirvanne pray and draw power from the deified saint herself; Laila has a different reason for entering the fray. Driven by her motivation to find her baby brother who was part of a fateful expedition team to Herald of World\'s End; the tiny disciple would risk everything to bring him home.

A kind and good-natured girl, Laila was selected as a candidate for the ascension ceremony to attain a higher rank within the Church. However, as the High Acolytes discovered her proneness to panic attacks; her ascension would be delayed. Aside from her inability to focus under pressure, she is also prone to selfishness, thus putting her at a severe disadvantage.

Sneaking into the Kingdom's second expedition team without a thought of the risks she would face, could prove to be a fatal mistake; but with her faith is being tested and as the terror of the unknown stares straight into her heart… Laila will stop at nothing to achieve her goal.
