nihongo|Layla Hamilton|レイラ・ハミルトン|Reira Hamiruton is a fictional character of the
anime series "Kaleido Star ". She is voiced bySayaka Ohara in the Japanese version, bySandra Krasa in the English version andMónica Valencia in the Spanish version (Latin America ).Description
Layla is an accomplished performer at Kaleido Stage. Just like Sora, Layla was taken to Kaleido Stage by her parents to see the show
Alice in Wonderland . She joined Kaleido Stage at age 14, because it was the only way she could remember her deceased mother who enjoyed that place. Her father is a rich yet work-a-holic Stage sponsor who, despite genuinely caring for his daughter, clashes with her since he'd rather have her as a Broadway actress than as a Kaleido Stage performer.At first, she plays the role of an
antagonist , because she doesn't stand Sora on stage, claiming that amateurs don't belong to the stage. To see if she is worthy to stay, Layla challenges her to do The Golden Phoenix, being the only person that knows how to execute it. After Sora executed The Phoenix, Layla allowed her to stay at Kaleido Stage, revealing that she believes in a second chance (even in the showCinderella , she told Sora, Mia and Anna that she could do anad-lib if they do a mistake on stage to cover it). Slowly, more sides of her are revealed: she's actually as hard on herself as she is on Sora and others, and she's also in shaky grounds with her father.Later, Layla is chosen by The Stage to execute The Legendary Great Manouver with Sora. The training is done at the
Grand Canyon with Kalos. There, Layla seriously injured her shoulder by doing supplementary training to lose weight. After attempting the Mystical Act, she gives up the circus and goes to Broadway like her father wants. She's the lead of a show called "Salome in Vegas ", and some time later she returns and challenges Sora for the role ofOdette fromSwan Lake . Her final show resembles the rebirth of the Phoenix.Roles
