Appearance:

Played By: Halle Berry
Description: Laiyna’s chocolate brown skin is clear from any blemishes. She take extremely good care of her skin, as well as her hair. Her hair is deep brown, almost to the point where it looks black under most circumstances. Her curls are somewhat relaxed, allowing her to wear it down most of the time, which she does. Occasionally, when she is extremely upset, she may wear it up in a ponytail to allow her to see her surroundings better.
Her eyes are probably the most interesting thing about her. They are brown, however when she is a little upset, they seem to glint with hazel streaks. They are piercing, and have a tendency to kind of bore into people. People often say that they are afraid of her because of those eyes. However the only reason people may be afraid of her is because they did something they had no business doing, and Laiyna is not very good at hiding her anger.
Laiyna wears loose flowing clothing, usually in light colors. However her favorite color is a deep burgundy colored red. Usually when she is in a formal setting she will wear a skirt of that color. However under more relaxed circumstances she wears lighter colors like white, and sky blues. She likes jewelry as well, and always has on a necklace and a few rings.

Element: Earth

Personality: Laiyna is a proud and intelligent woman, and tends to be on the quiet side as well. She is young, but a harsh childhood has given her wisdom beyond her years. Her entire presence is quiet, but filled with strength. She follows her own ideals and sticks to them strongly, almost violently. She has a tendency to believe that her ideas are the only correct ones, and because of this some see her as hard to get along with. She knows that other ideas exist, and she is attempting to overcome her staunch belief that her ideas are superior to everyone else’s.

Laiyna’s personality tends to come out the more she knows the people she is around. When she is around people for an extended period of time, she can actually be fun to be around. She has a dry sense of humor, and believes that life is meant to be humorous. She can usually make a joke out of anything, and even though she is known to appear serious, behind closed doors she has a tendency to be somewhat of a goofball. It usually takes a while to become this well acquainted with her, and even then she has to believe that she can trust someone before she opens up to them.

As far as trust goes, once Laiyna says that she is friends with someone, or pledges her protection, or promises something, it can be trusted. She fully believes that her word is her bond, and honors everything that she says if at all humanly possible. As such, however, getting her to promise something is difficult to do, and she also has a tendency to hold everyone else up to the same standards as she holds herself. She trusts people to hold their word, and opens herself to be extremely hurt when people break their word to her.

Likes: Reading- Laiyna is very intense about education and furthering her education. She believes that reading is the best way to accomplish this.
Wine- Laiyna loves nothing more than a good glass of exceptional wine…or two…or three…or the bottle…
Thunderstorms- They have a tendency of calming Laiyna down, and she believes that the lightening is beautiful.
Arguments- Not really for the sake of arguing, but Laiyna loves to debate, and loves people to intelligently back up their beliefs.
Music- playing, listening, or writing, music has the ability to change Laiyna’s mood.
Art- Laiyna also loves to draw, and though she feels as though she doesn’t paint well, painting is another of her past times.
Humor- One personality trait that will almost always win Laiyna over. If you can make her laugh, she will be more than happy to give you the time of day.

Dislikes: Hypocrisy- she follows her words, and believes that others should as well.
Idiocy- a personality trait that she has very little patience for. She doesn’t take to well to people who try to dip their heads into affairs that they don’t understand.
Children- She doesn’t hate them, but she knows that after an hour or so with children, they began getting on her nerves. Therefore, she avoids children.
Meetings- because of her tendency to think that she is right, people not seeing her way and discussing things that she feels she understands perfectly try her patience.


Goals: Laiyna wants a family. Mainly she wants a child that she can bring up and raise as a Magii.

Fears: Do to a experience in her childhood, Laiyna has a healthy respect (read fear) for fire. She only uses it when necessary, and even then she tends to be distracted by making sure that the fire doesn’t lose control.

Family: Brahim Mikhail Aphrite- Master Magii (deseaced)
Lidia Adelia Aphrite – Magii (deceased)
Myana Lai Aphrite – Assumed commoner as no magic was shown before time of death (deceased)

History: Laiyna grew up in a regular familial household. Caring mother, Father who believed the world revolved around her, and when she was around four, a little sister who she believed was a real live dress up doll. Her life continued rather happily, learning about magii’s from her parents, and wishing ferverently that she would be a Master Magii like her father one day. She showed her parents by the time she had entered her late teens that she was talented and quick in picking things up, and that she had been learning some of the true speech on her own.
It was about a week before her twenty first birthday when she began being able to translate full texts into and out of the True Speech, without any help, and without any significant teaching. Both of her parents were overjoyed, and they began teaching her more about the responsibilities of becoming a Master Magii.
During her childhood, the two most important things in her life centered around learning magic, and her younger sister, whom she had called “Yana” from a young age. Yana was one of the only individuals who knew exactly how to calm her older sister down when she got upset, and vice versa. The two girls spent most of their lives joined at the hip, and it remained that way through their teen years. It probably would have continued that way, except for the fact that Laiyna began showing her Master Magii tendency, and as such lost the closeness with her sister to magic. Yana had never shown an interest in magic, and aside from mundane spells to help chores pass quickly, didn’t show an aptitude for it either.
The girls slowly drifted apart, Laiyna diving deep into her studies, and Yana becoming more and more interested in getting married, and having children of her own. The two girls and their parents remained in their childhood home though, and it was one night, at a banquet that a tragedy that would live with Laiyna for the rest of her life occurred. Laiyna’s younger sister had gotten engaged, to a healthy, intelligent, and handsome young Magii, and in celebration her father had decided to throw an engagement party for the couple.
Laiyna had stepped out for a moment or two in an attempt to get out of the celebration for her younger sister, whom she didn’t feel the need to admit, was jealous of. She wanted simply to catch her breath for a moment, double check her façade of happiness and joy for her younger sister and her beau. She ended up taking a walk, and was gone for a while. As she was walking back, she could see that something was terribly wrong. Her house was orange. Bright, fiery reds and oranges that were only seen in flames. She watched as slowly her entire family, and many of their family friends burned to death in an out of control fire that. Laiyna still has not quite forgiven herself for not being there with her family.
The incident had a lot to do with making her the woman that she is today. Because she believed that it was punishment for losing the closeness she had once had with her sister, she has become close with few, and those she has, she has stayed close to. Currently she is presiding over, and taking care of one of the smaller archipelagos hopeing one day to move on to a larger one.

Laiyna sighed as she walked through her gardens. She was tired, and there was truly nothing to make it better. Sleep wasn’t the cure for this type of exhaustion. She need rest. Time away from all of the madness that was taking over Atuan. Yet she couldn’t leave. Her island needed her, hell, Atuan in general needed all the help that it could get.
“Lady?”
Laiyna’s maidservant came out of the house, “Another sickness has been reported in town.”
Laiyna sighed, this was not going well at all. The worst part about it was that there was nothing she could do. Nothing at all. When the first people began getting sick, she went through everything she had known. And there was nothing. Nothing at all. She sat on the bench, her maidservant standing beside her wringing her hands, “Thank you Kyra. I will be in soon; I need a few more moments alone.”
The maid curtsied, and disappeared quickly back into the house. Laiyna sat for a few moments with her eyes closed, in a vain attempt to meditate. It wasn’t working. She couldn’t concentrate to save her life. Not at all. She opened her eyes and sighed once more. She stood again wiping small leave debris off of the skirt that she was wearing and started into the house. This was horrible, what was she doing? What was there for her to do? An idea came to her, and her pace picked up. She was going to send a messenger to the Arch M. she should know what to do.
