Even when we're not looking up at the stars, they're always there, watching over us.

Profile

Overview

Layla is a student in the Rtawahist Darshan, specializing in Theoretical Astrology. Despite being in poor health and constantly sleep-deprived, Layla has performed excellently in the eyes of her teachers and peers; however, this is not apparent from her numerous lamentations about her studies. Instead, she attributes her success to her sleepwalking and having "The Stars' Blessing."

Due to in part of the Akademiya lifestyle, Layla is highly devoted to her studies, but this has also left her somewhat paranoid and highly sleep deprived, making her very timid and looking like she could collapse from exhaustion at any point. Despite these traits, Layla is unusually perseverant, having outlasted several of her classmates who had joined at the same time as her.

Layla's lack of sleep is to the point that she ends up sleepwalking in the night, where an alternate personality manifests from her. This persona is energetic and determined, helping solve all of her problems (who dubs the present Layla as "Daytime") in an instant. When Layla wakes up, she expresses surprise as to how her papers had been completely finished. She appears to be unaware of her alternate persona, instead believing that she's blessed by the stars.

Talents

• Normal Attack: Sword of the Radiant Path

1. Normal Attack: Performs up to 3 rapid strikes.
2. Charged Attack: Consumes Stamina to unleash 2 rapid sword strikes.
3. Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging enemies along the path and dealing AoE Damage upon impact.

• Elemental Skill: Nights of Formal Focus

The night is cold.

Not now!

My guiding stars.

Creates a shield named Curtain of Slumber, dealing AoE Cryo Damage.

The Curtain of Slumber's Damage Absorption is based on Layla's Max HP and absorbs Cryo Damage with 250% effectiveness. When the shield is deployed, Layla will have Cryo applied to her briefly.

Night Stars and Shooting Stars

1. While the Curtain of Slumber is active, it will create 1 Night Star that will be attached to it every 1.5 seconds. When a character protected by this shield uses an Elemental Skill, 2 Night Stars will be created. Night Stars can be created once every 0.3 seconds in this way. A maximum of 4 Night Stars can be accumulated at any one time.
2. Once the Curtain of Slumber has accumulated 4 Night Stars and there are enemies nearby, these Night Stars will transform into homing Shooting Stars that will be fired off in sequence, dealing Cryo Damage to any enemies hit.
3. If the Curtain of Slumber's duration ends or it is destroyed, the Night Stars will disappear. If they are already being fired off as Shooting Stars, these Shooting Stars will last until this wave of shots ends.

New Night Stars cannot be created until the previous wave of Shooting Stars has been fired completely.

• Elemental Burst: Dream of the Star-Stream Shaker

Stars, shine for me.

Cold, mine to command.

Don't be scared.

Unleashes a Celestial Dreamsphere that constantly fires Starlight Slugs at enemies within its AoE, dealing Cryo Damage.

When a Starlight Slug hits, it will generate 1 Night Star for nearby Curtains of Slumber. Each Curtain of Slumber can gain 1 Night Star this way every 0.5 seconds.

• 1st Ascension Passive: Like Nascent Light

While the Curtain of Slumber is active, the Deep Sleep effect will activate each time the Curtain gains 1 Night Star:

1. The Shield Strength of a character under the effect of the Curtain of Slumber increases by 6%.
2. This effect can have a maximum of 4 stacks and persists until the Curtain of Slumber disappears.

• 4th Ascension Passive: Sweet Slumber Undisturbed

The Damage dealt by the Shooting Stars fired by Elemental Skill: Nights of Formal Focus is increased by 1.5% of Layla's Max HP.

• Utility Passive: Shadowy Dream-Signs

When Layla crafts Character Talent Materials, she has a 10% chance to receive double the product.

About Other Characters

This part is about what Layla thinks about the other characters in Genshin Impact.

• Faruzan

Has Professor Faruzan managed to get any students? People from the Haravatat Darshan say that she always has difficulty getting funding for her projects, so it's hard for her to attract students, too. (sigh)...

• Mona

Mona Megistus, the Astrologist... Her astrology column in The Steambird is well-known among Rtawahist scholars. Her articles always cover super specialized topics, but can still be appreciated by non-academics. That's no easy feat... Huh? Her name seems to just roll off my tongue? Uh, that's just because... I have a lot of respect for... amazing people.

• Lisa

Oh, I know who you're talking about. Lisa Minci — the legendary Spantamad prodigy who graduated in just two years. If only I had her brains... Huh? You met her in person when you were in Mondstadt? R—Really? So... what's her studying process like? What books does she read, and what kind of work does she do? Where... Where should I start if I want to learn from her?

• Lesser Lord Kusanali

Dear Mighty God of Wisdom, I've been studying late into the night for days on end, please let me pass this exam! Please, please... Zzz...

• Alhaitham

I bet someone who's good enough to get a job like Scribe never has to worry about whether their projects will get approved or be successful. Wait... Oh shoot, if he's a Scribe, he probably doesn't have to do any projects in the first place. So lucky...

• Cyno

The General Mahamatra is really good at Genius Invokation TCG? Ooh, I wonder if... I mean, if I ever got the chance, maybe I could play a game with him. Card games like Genius Invokation TCG are always easier when you're good at mental math, so actually, I... I dunno, but... I might not necessarily lose to him.

• Candace

...Huh, I saw someone who matches that description when I woke up after sleepwalking for the first time. "Candace," huh? Now I know. I still remember the moment I woke up... All of my reports and essays were done. At the time, it felt like... like after pleading to the stars for days and days, now they'd finally heard me, and sent a messenger to help me... I felt so touched!

• Dori

Oh... D—Dori... ahem... I took the plunge and bought something from her once. She looked euphoric as I was settling the bill — I think she assumed I was some sort of mega-rich person. Kept relentlessly sending product ads to me in the mail afterwards. Ugh... biggest mistake of my life! I paid such a huge price for it... 'cause not only did I spend all of my scholarship money in one go, but for most of the next year, I had to survive mainly on cheap vegetables, and I couldn't buy textbooks unless they were on sale...
