Leyla Forrester

Leyla Forrester is the youngest child and third daughter of Lord Jason Forrester and Lady Alys Karstark. She holds claims to no titles.

Appearance and Character
When Layla was a younger girl she was lanky and awkward. Her arms and legs were too long for the rest of her body. It was only once she was a woman grown that she grew into her height and stature. Her frame is very rectangular without many curves to speak of besides an average sized chest. She holds her head high with a straight and regal posture but keeps quiet and out of the way, preferring to be in the shadows.

Her skin is pale from her many years in the north and too much time in the sun makes her look near boiled. She is, like most Northerners, of First Men descent but by her looks you would not know it. Her red orange hair stands out the most making it difficult for her to disappear entirely. It is long and wavy and she often braids feathers into it. Her eyes are hazel with more green than brown and they are always watching though never entirely focused, as if she's watching something else entirely.

Friends would call her a woman of action. She's not the contemplative sort and doesn't talk through options much. Leyla prefers to work based off of gut instinct. Whatever your first reaction is must always be the correct course of action. That isn't to say she's impulsive. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing at all. And there's one thing she desperately wants to act on that she knows will only cause her suffering in the long run.

Leyla has always been the type to enjoy the company of animals over people. She is often seen in the company of a red furred mutt who could be considered her best friend. In many ways she is nontraditional. She is a warrior, a woman skilled in close combat with daggers, and would prefer to fight and die for a cause long before ever considering getting married or having children. She doesn't make friends easily but once she's befriended someone she'd kill for them. That's how much of a loyal and fierce friend she is. Her family means the world to her but she would still put her own needs above the needs of House Forrester.
