PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER ANALYSIS: Layla Genetrix is a tortured soul with a blurred view of good and evil. From a young age, she suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and panic attacks, all of which she never received any professional help for. Her idealistic views of the world and her inner turmoil are what contributed to her tragic fall to the dark side. Before she fell to the dark side, Layla was compassionate and cared for other people’s well-being. She was also very attuned to the light side of the Force, responsible when it came to fulfilling her duties as a Jedi Knight, and a very mature person overall. However, she was insecure and did not communicate well even though she was often very bold. She always spoke up for what she believed was right but her intense emotions were partly what contributed to her fall to the dark side. After Layla lost her child, she spiraled into a deep depression and developed Major Depressive Disorder which shifted her view of the world and made her question her morality. She allowed herself to be manipulated by a Sith Lord with the false promise that she would gain back the child that she lost. Before Layla became a Sith Lord, she was a successful merchant and she was also raised by the senator of Naboo who had perfect social skills, which is why she used to be so good with people, despite the fact that she was not a good communicator. Before turning dark, Layla was fiercely loyal to the important people in her life, especially her foster mother, her husband, and her child. Even after she turned evil, her loyalty to them did not falter and everything that she did was for them and the idea that she was avenging them. She treats the younglings that she kidnapped from the Jedi Temple as her own children and believes that training them in the dark side of the Force is what will save them from the Jedi.

CHARACTER ARC: Layla Genetrix lost both her parents when she was eight years old at her own hands. Her mother and father were persuaded by Darth Sidious to leave her on the safest planet for her own protection because she was too powerful. Believing it to be the only way to protect their child, Layla’s parents left her at the Jedi Temple. Layla, who was highly force-sensitive, unbeknownst to herself and to her parents, became overcome by her emotions and begged her parents to come back. She accidentally crashed the spaceship that her mother and father were leaving in because she was unable to control her abilities, which resulted in her parents’ tragic deaths. This tragedy left her so traumatized that she subconsciously blocked out the memory of the incident shortly after it occurred, convincing herself that she would one day be reunited with their parents. She was then taken in by Jedi Master Aayla Secura, who acted as her foster mother.
  Layla met Anakin Skywalker when she was rescued by the Jedi and they grew up together, becoming best friends and eventually falling in love. They got married in secret and decided to stay in the Jedi Order, until Layla unexpectedly became pregnant. When Layla almost lost the baby during a mission, Anakin retired from the Order, but Chancellor Sheev Palpatine convinced Layla that she needed power to protect her child. Her desire for power and to protect her child led to her downfall. When she lost the child, she blamed it on the Jedi. Anakin was murdered by the Sith, but the Sith manipulated the situation and framed the Jedi. This was the final straw that led to Layla's full turn to the Dark Side.
