Biography[]
Events of Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light[]
Chapter 1[]
In "A Day in the Afterlife", Laila goes to a meat market when she is greeted by Alastor, who kindly opens the door for her and greets her. Upon entering the shop, Laila is immediately attacked by the market's owner, the Boar Butcher, who intends to make her a part of the menu. She calls out for help, which is answered by Alastor, who walks back into the market and notes his distaste for those who prey on those of "fairer means". Alastor then shifted into his Full Demon Form, scaring the butcher, making him release Laila, who crawls under a counter. As Laila closed her eyes in fear, Alastor graphically devoured the butcher, with his blood spraying on Laila and all over the shop. As things settled down, Alastor left the shop, but not before bidding a shaken Laila farewell.
Chapter 5[]
In "A Dream Realized", Laila is seen among a crowd of demons watching the Hazbin Hotel's latest advertisement for its grand re-opening.
Personality[]
Laila appears to be a polite and fair sinner, far different than most of the sinful inhabitants of the Pride Ring. When Alastor opened a door for her, she greeted him with a smile. She also seems to be incapable of defending herself and refuses to fight back even when she is in danger, as she needed Alastor's assistance to break free from the Boar Butcher. After Alastor rescued her, she was deeply grateful towards him for not simply leaving her to be killed.
Trivia[]
- Laila's name means "night" and "holy" in Arabic.
- It is possible that Laila is a cannibal, as the meat market she intended to purchase food from is evidently a cannibalistic shop.
