OC Info Sheet: Layla "Llorona" Montez

This lovely lady!!

Hair: indigo, long & curly (until Cora burns some by accident then it becomes a bob)

Eye color: golden yellow 

Height: 5'9.5

Age: start of story 26, cora's death 29, when reunited with law 42

Devil fruit: Wail Wail Fruit- a person with extreme grief gives out a loud sound wave that triggers anyone within it's radius an extreme fear induced reaction (fight creates destructive self harm, flight will take any means necessary ways to flee, and freeze will leave them paralyzed for 2 minutes) 

The stem is red and the rest is a dark blue. Turn it upside down to see the face :D

Background: Born and raised in a cluster of isles called Mariposa Island, an artisan place where butterflies and florals are the main inspiration. 

Grandparents were from Dressrosa, it's where she got her accent

Married a man named Nicolas Estrada very young (22 & 23) and had a son named Lucas (4)  (Both now deceased)

She worked as a jeweler, while her husband was a perfumer. 

Her Story: Pirates destroyed her town in search of a hidden devil fruit, killing her husband. When she found his body the devil fruit was hidden with him. She ate it hoping to use it's power to stop the pirates but nothing happened.

She then goes back to her own house to find it on fire and rushed in there to rescue her son, burning herself in the process. When she tries to put out the fire in a river nearby, she unintentionally drowns her son to death. (You can easily tell I'm using the ghost myth of Llorona for inspiration)

Grief struck, she uses the devil fruit power to chase away/killed everyone in town. She was later found by Giolla and Diamante who were on a mission/shopping trip. They take her to Doflamingo who decides to keep her as part of the family. Reality is that he wants to weaponize the fruit.

Cora tries his best to get her out/make her life less miserable since he can't scare her away. He does fall in love in her eventually but hides it out of guilt and in fear that Doffy will use it against him.

When Law shows up, Layla grows more attached to him compared to other kids due to the fact he looks like her dead son (both have dark hair and golden eyes). It felt like a second chance of saving him from death.

She falls for Corazon when he speaks to her for the first time. "Come with us. We'll find a cure for Law and get you far away from this life." Law finds their lovey dovey stuff stupid and gross.

Fun facts:

A romantic at heart, enjoys the arts

Favorite food: pan de dulce (sweet bread), specially conchas (melon bread?) 

Least favorite: anything pickled really 

Favorite color: a soft blue

Flower to represent her: Snowdrops (Meaning: A symbol of sympathy and condolence, "with death comes rebirth." Snowdrops can be used in other ways as a symbol or representation of hope, renewal, and comfort in rituals, ceremonies, or meditation.)

Birthday: April 7th

Hobbies: singing, collecting sea glass

Law calls her "Yona"

Song to give her: My Love Mine All Mine - mitski

Not so fun facts:

The tear streaks down her face started as makeup but Doflamingo makes them into tattoos as a punishment for attempting to leave

Doflamingo used Sugar's ability to make Layla a doll for years as a punishment to escape during the Dressrosa takeover

Since it follows the canon story, Layla gets captured and separated because of Vergo

If Apple TV does indeed do a spin off with a AFC Women's Football team, I love Brendan Hunt, Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein, but please. Get more women in the writer's room. I love Ted Lasso with my whole heart, but we deserve better for Keeley, for Rebecca, for future characters in this series, and for how women overall have been portrayed. They did fairly well, but still. They can do better. especially how they handed Jane and Beard. I still am personally in denial about that.

Okay, here's part 2 with some other flags

Take them! I made them for you guys!

And yes, I checked. They mostly fit well on phones, but I'm not sure about other devices, though, but I'm sure you guys will still enjoy them anyway.

Here's an example:

Hey uhhhh if this reaches the person who uploaded my art to Pinterest without my knowledge and didn’t credit me, I’d really like it if you didn’t do that. Please at least credit me next time.

Edit: Found the name of the account. Ninjago _Lover, I’d really appreciate it if you would at least credit me.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

One time I was working as a waiter at a burger joint where the fries were tossed in salt and coriander and as I was bringing food over to the table for these two huge beefy guys one of them asks what the green stuff is so I go "it's coriander" and his friend goes very seriously "he can't have coriander" and I'm thinking shit ok maybe he's allergic and guy 1 starts pulling up his sleeve to show me something and I'm thinking shit shit shit he's probably breaking out in hives rn and it's my fault but he just shows me his arm and he has this huge cursive font tattoo that just says "I fucking hate coriander"

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”
