lailah / tales of zestiria.

[warmhearted]

PLAYER: Zetsu.
CHARACTER: Lailah.
CANON: Tales of Zestiria.


AU NAME: Lailah Lefay.
AU AGE: 40.
AU OCCUPATION: University/College Guidance Counselor, with a side job of crafts and jewelries that's more of a hobby she enjoys but does sell things.
BLURB:
• with ryuu's permission Mikleo's (fashioneebo) mother who is motherly to anyone especially close friends with him, very friendly and Literal Sunshine.
• Ended up losing her husband a few months before giving birth to Mikleo.
• Before that marriage she was a hard girl to date, she wasn't really the one for dating until her late husband changed that.
• That silly and weird counselor who has a knack for making puns to students and well pretty much everyone. they're as bad as being the embodiment of "Hi __, I'm Dad" jokes but as Mom really
• While working to get her degrees for counseling and guidance she did tutoring on the side.
• Though a soft warm person she definitely gives off the vibe "hurt me or anyone precious to me and I'll kick your ass" aura if someone offends her tbh
• The most welcoming of counselors, wanting nothing but to help and get anyone troubled on their desired path. If they don't know? That's fine too, she's extremely patient and will lend an ear to anything. She shows and gives the impression that you can tell her anything with the safety of knowing it won't leave between her and said person.
• Will more than likely mother you if you're around her son's age and or younger.
• Hot Mom™ (something I doodled for her modern look! :3c ) hit on meebo's mom and he'll probably kick your ass
• I'M PROBABLY MISSING THINGS BUT THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK OF RN HAHA
LOOKING FOR: friends! maybe adults she went to college with/ran into, fellow mothers?!, old students she use to tutor during her college days, and of course current students she is a guidance counselor to. past crushes?! COWORKERS anyone that works in the education business etc she may run into at the university/college etc. anything else feel free to ask with me! i'm pretty open to hearing ideas o7
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: N/A!

[impulsives]

Since he's going to be a freshman when I app in, perhaps he can be referred to her when he first enrolled! She can try to deal with his anger management issues at least :|a

[warmhearted]

sounds perfect! she's extremely patient and calm so she'll take it with stride and do her best to help >:|b

[impulsives]

Yes he's going to probably need a place to vent about some school stuff that's not his roommate or his parents, so it's going to be an interesting CR at the start at the very least ha...

[thesettingsun]

Shuji probably has come to the college guidance counselor a lot this year... and the previous two times he's attempted college. But this time! This time he's going to graduate for sure!!

[warmhearted]

aweee don't worry shuji, she believes in you! and if he feels confident enough this time she'll be sure to support him every step of the way! you can do it..!!

[thesettingsun]

She's his favorite! ...and also one of the reasons he'll inevitably feel awful when he misses class because he's too hungover, but still.

[zerotohiro]

zips in here

first of all I really like this for Lailah, what a cool translation from her canon to an AU! I think it opens up a lot of avenues for settling into the game with her so A+ on that

secondly the character I already have in-game dropped out of college so he's pretty irrelevant, but Hiro is currently in his second year of college at age 15 and has probably been directed Lailah's way once or twice tbh. I need to talk to Ryuu myself since Hiro's going to be friends with Sorey he probably knows Mikleo as well so there's that route, too if you'd like

[warmhearted]

oh hey i recognize that username from cerealia-- though i believe in that time it was rose that i played HAHA

but thank you!! i had considered a lot of possibilities for lailah honestly, but when i thought of her role to guide the shepherd in zesteria, a guidance counselor seemed extremely fitting for her and seemed like a good place to start so thank you!!

THAT SOUNDS GREAT THOUGH if he's friends with sorey (and of course with that meaning mikleo too) there's more than a chance that she's aware of him and will likely mother him as well just by contrary of being friends with the boys and so young. if saffy is cool with it she'll probably be a second mom to sorey too so that's a good route to aim! but either way she can still be a counselor that he's directed to for any needed assistance! are you eating well, hiro. you're so small

[chiseler]

yis that's me hi zetsu, it's nice to see you again!

yeah EXACTLY, I can definitely see that and I love it. It also gives you a good way to expand her AU in-game and a shift once she starts regaining memories and stuff so I'm excited to see how it goes :>

oh my god lailah plz HE'S FINE (no he is never fine, cup noodles are not healthy enough.) but that's really cute, mom!lailah is so precious. I'll have to chat further with ryuu + saffy both but I think that sounds like a good plan!

[openhanded]

HOT MAMA'S COMING TO TOWN

Sorey in this AU has a lot of counselor leanings, and I feel like that is probably Lailah's fault.

we should also probably discuss the fact that Sorey is definitely dating her son

please don't kill him

[warmhearted]

SOUND THE BELLS

it only means you've learned well, she's so proud

um kill him ??? this is lailah we're talking about

listen sorey you're like a second son to her she'd be so happy and probably wonder why it took so long you silly silly boys

SHE'D BE SO HAPPY

cue the lines of a comic i wanted to draw that i joked to ryuu about consisting of "oh, hello mrs. lefay!" "please sorey, i've known you and your mother for so long, i've told you before! so please refer to me as.. " "oh, right! lail--" "mother in law /CHEEKY SMILE"

[pantsoptional]

I have here a college astronomy professor who is loud, welcoming, and surprisingly philosophical for a man who never appears to think anything through before jumping in headfirst. Friends?

[warmhearted]

ahhh iskandar..!! A MORE THAN WELCOMED FRIEND, he's probably someone lailah would get along well and enjoy the company of !

[heiroglyphs]

Aaaa I love this idea for Lailah!

Weiss/Vera is a sophomore at Recolle U and the stress over being the Absolute Best is driving her to the brink of mental collapse. She needs someone to suggest that maybe her life won't end if there are names ranking higher than hers at the end of the semester.

Also she is in desperate need of a mother figure because her parents kind of suck.

[warmhearted]

thank you !!! ;v;

oh man, lailah can understand the upbringing and would do her best to provide guidance in the form of a mother figure. hope weiss/vera is ready for some good praises on how amazing she is, even if she isn't ranking top because lailah will be there to give it !! she'll be sure to reassure simply her doing her best is what matters most ;o;

/moming intensifies

[fashioneebo]

MOM WHY and hell yeah he'll kick the ass of anyone flirting with his mom esp if they can't take a hint

tbh, tho, she's the reason he moms everyone and bribes them with food. he gets it honest from Lailah....

HE PROBABLY HASN'T VISITED HER SINCE APRIL 1ST THO bc he suddenly had a change in hair color and he's Not Sure how to approach this with her....

also unsure if she'll know Sorey and Mikleo are dating by the time she's in the game :|a I mean, he most likely told her after a week? but idk, w/e you're up for. o/

[warmhearted]

mom yes be gentle, son

I IMAGINE OFC LAILAH IS SUCH A GOOD BAKER so she probably bakes desserts/sweets with him, she always asks for his help since it's something they can do together

she's probably so worried.... like she did something wrong and he's upset with her, she probably leaves him voicemails saying things like how she hopes he's doing well and if he ever needs someone to talk to he can always come to her

IM COOL WITH HER KNOWING i can say she's been busy with work but she'll insist they all go out to dinner soon, she wants to embarrass her children

Re: lailah / tales of zestiria.

[insantafe]

current student who would 100% flirt with Ms. Lefay here!! Maybe not seriously but he would def. make a point to flatter her every time he sees her because that's what Jack does.

bring it on mikleo

[warmhearted]

jhgdjkhfghkdf perfect. harmless flattery should be fine and all with her, so long as it isn't to get out of talking !! Important Matters and all

[abovethefold]

Oh gosh GUIDANCE COUNSELOR YES???? Kath has probably seen her multiple times in her three years of school so far, considering she's trying to balance a double major in French and pre-law alongside interning at her father's law firm, volunteering, and having some semblance of a social life... please help save Kath from herself? 8D;;;

[warmhearted]

kath goodness gracious, lailah will Definitely be there to try and help sort things out because at this rate she's gonna overwhelm herself into the ground oh my god. she's probably use to having a few students like this so don't worry she'll def hop in to save her

[skald]

Here is another potential student! Tuuri would try to talk with her guidance counselor every week to stress out about if she's making the right major choices and also what if everything she's ever done in her life was a mistake so uh... sorry in advance, Lailah?

[warmhearted]

never apologize Tuuri, this is what she's here for! also hopefully to make things easier and more self aware in her choices. don't worry, lailah is here to be a lending ear and voice of help!

[ghostdrives]

Omg what a grand occupation!

Aqua is aiming to be a nursing student at Recolle U which means a hell of a lot of pressure, plus she's got sports obligations to meet. She might need help with that...

Plus she hasn't had a mother figure since she was like 9? So she'd probably appreciate that kind of support too.
