Layla Prismriver (レイラ・プリズムリバー Reira purizumuribā) is the fourth daughter of the Prismriver family. When the family was orphaned, she didn't want to leave the mansion that held so much of her memories, so she made poltergeists that looked like her sisters and then vanished along with the mansion.
Character Basis
Name
Although the word Layla comes from the Arabic word for "night", it may probably be related to Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs by Eric Clapton of the group band Derek and the Dominos in 1970. However, this is most likely a coincidence. Also, there is no official English spelling of her name as there are various ways to spell her name. Although in French, it would be Leila.
Story
Layla's father was a merchant and count. After an accident involving an item from Gensokyo which he had somehow procured, she and the rest of the Prismriver Sisters were all orphaned and went their separate ways. Layla stayed in the mansion as it held so many memories. With powers she had gained from the item she conjured poltergeists with the appearance of her older sisters, then vanished along with the mansion and the poltergeists.
Eventually she and the other sisters died, but the three poltergeists still "live" at the now called Poltergeist Mansion.
