Layla Hamilton

An accomplished and seasoned performer. She is a stubborn character and plays an antagonist-like role in the beginning of the story, but eventually befriends Sora. Layla is the daughter of Mr. Hamilton, a wealthy hotel chain owner; he would prefer Layla to be an actress and frequently tries to push her into doing so. Layla loves Kaleido Stage because she clearly remembers how much the shows made her father and now-deceased mother smile.
