Description
Sooo I am hoping this uploads. I am in the midst of a blizzard so my internet connection is iffy.Introducing Sybelle's eldest daughter- Laila! I'll have to fill out a whole profile thing for her at some point but I'll put the basics in here.
In 1914 / the main FMA timeline Laila is 12. She is an orphan of the Ishval Civil War, living in the slums outside of East City. She's as well cared for as any of the other orphans in the make-shift town, as there is no shortage of children without parents. She is given food and a place to stay, but is never really taken in by any specific family. She attends the same "school" as the other orphaned children, which isn't much, especially since she is naturally very inquisitive and loves reading. She sometimes sneaks into the city to spy on the public school classes there, and takes any books she can get her hands on (but she never steals any, only out of the trash, because she is a good person). This goes on for pretty much her whole childhood, from the age of 6 to 12, until she meets the kind of scary new woman who has been hanging around their town. The adults are all wary of strangers after recent happenings, but Laila is curious, and so follows the lady around until eventually she gets caught. The woman doesn't seem too mean though once she starts talking. She asks about a man who Laila remembers as the one who recently disappeared with the scarred man after the bounty hunter fiasco. She's sorry she can't be of more help but the woman seems grateful anyway, albeit a bit tired. They sit and talk for a little while, and the woman invites her back to her home for tea as thanks. She has never been invited to tea. Was that something people actually did? She cautiously accepts, and THERE BEGINS A LIFELONG FRIENDSHIP.
I think Belle saw a bit of herself in Laila, and in a moment of weakness pretty much adopts her. Sure its under the guise of working for her at first. Like, I'll teach you and give you books if you can go out and gather information for me, but alas Belle is weak and she officially adopts the cinnamon roll. Which is good because Laila needs to keep her mother in line.
Also its hard to tell because she is 12 but.. Laila is tol. She's probably close to 5'10" as an adult. She eventually moves back to Ishval to become a teacher. Basically Laila is just a sweet, curious, shy ball of fluff and anxiety.
Laila and art belong to me

Aaah! Thank you! I'm so glad you like her! >w<
And yes, I figured once she got adopted she'd have to wear the school uniform, and would probably choose to wear what all the other children were wearing at the time, as she is no longer staying with other Ishvalans. She does go back to Ishval though later in life! I'll have to draw her in her traditional clothes too sometime ;w;

No problem at all. Lol I guess that would average two fairly decent people (but how boring that would be!

Okay, I already love her β you got me at "she loves reading" but she sounds as an interesting character, and I hope to know more about her friendship with Sybelle. Also she's got a cute charadesign and- tall. Yes.
(Also Belle looking for Yoki ahdsgfsj.)
(I'm sure Yoki could make a decent uncle, just give him a chance.)

;w; I already can't wait to draw a family portrait with them, when she is all grown up and taller than mom, dad & the entire rest of the family.
and thank you asdhja

I LOVE THIS GIRL OH MY GOODNESS. I am in love with her hair and her round chubby face I'm weak. Her outfit is super cute too honestly she is super well balanced aesthetically wise! Anxious shy Ishvalan speaking orphans are my favorite lmao.Β
I think Laila and my lead character from my spinoff series would get along well since they're close to the same age and both Coke from Ishvalan culture. I Love Them? Too Pure. Who allowed this

LONG HAIR LONG HAIR
But thank you asbdja
and aaah they are?? Laila could probably be friends with anyone, but it would do her good to have a friend who was not sinful like the rest of her family oof

IVE ALWAYS STRUGGLED DRAWING LONG HAIR LIKE LAILA IN THE FMA STYLE AND YOU MADE IT LOOK SO GOOD IM DYING HONESTY?Β
Ashley is the same honestly except she hardly talks to anyone and takes a while but once you are her friend she is a Baby β’ she's got that baby rat mentality and baby rats take a while but then get super clingy and cuddly.Β
Ash would love to braid Laila's hair and read poems to her or gather flowers oh my god they're too pure? And I feel you.

Drawing it wasn't too bad, but shading it??? Forget about it. That's probably what took me the longest to do, and reminded me of why all the characters I like to draw have no hair OTL
And ahsjdkah my roommates both have rats and they're the most precious things ;w;
(I can just imagine them skipping together on the beach and complimenting each other and putting bows in their hair hhhh such sweet children)

Most of our characters in our series have African textured hair so it's even more confusing when it comes to drawing them because??? Curly poofy hair? I'm suffering.Β
I have two rats too and they honestly are the sweetest pets I've ever had and I don't think I'll ever not have a pair of rats on me. They're like mini dogs but they cuddle more and are so much more curious and funny. I really hate how short the life expectancy is, especially for females since 90% of all female rats will get a mammary tumor in their lifetime. ;____;Β
REALLY THOUGH MY SWEET SUMMER CHILDREN. They are too moe please protect their gentle hearts...Β

I will not let this one become corrupted. SYBELLE FOR A MOTHER AND DOYLE FOR AN UNCLE AND YOKI FOR ANOTHER UNCLE BUT SHE WILL STAY PURE THROUGHOUT IT ALL. She has the willpower and a strong and pure spirit that can not be sullied. She is righteousness in its purest form, even if her mother seriously tests her resolve at times.

OHHH MY GOOOOOD--
I love her hair, I love her outfit, I love her face, sure, but I LOVE HER STORY EVEN MORE.Β
And the thing is I can see Belle's weakness when she takes her in.Β
I love this, I really do. Her body language says a lot about her.
ALSO TOL GIRLS UNITE. >U

Thank you shdgjhasha I love her too, I need to keep her safe and protected
HONESTLY at that point Belle is just done with everything, SHE JUST LOST HER WHOLE WEIRD YOUSWELL FAMILY GROUP. She is sad. Obviously adopting a kid is the solution.
(But seriously, I am debating on having her somewhere between 5'10 and 6ft, she's going to be like a foot taller than her mom, she can't be stopped)

sunnymimis In reply to cybzilla [2016-01-23 02:36:52 +0000 UTC]
Yes, she must be preserved >3<
SHE JUST LOST HER WINE HUBBY, WHO WOULDN'T BE UPSET?? I feel for her, I really do. Now she'll start another family of her own. ;w; I like how she's looking for her "boss" though, hopefully she ends up finding him >U
(I think FMA could use some height diversity either way, plus awkward mother daughter hugs. =w= Those are always a plus <333)

ITS A ROUGH TIME and she must fill her emptiness with children. and don't worry, they find each other again, and Yoki becomes a good part time uncle

Children would certainly help with that, now she has to REALLY make sure they don't have wine for dinner.
GASP, they don't get together?? OTL
