The mother of Lowain, she has a bold, no-nonsense personality, sharp tongue, and strong mental fortitude. Physically strong as well, she won't hesitate to discipline cheeky youngsters, but her honest nature and nurturing spirit endear her to everyone around her. Widowed twenty years ago, she and her mother-in-law now run a diner together, providing mutual support for each other. Although Laraila doesn't cook at the restaurant, her homemade meals have always been a big hit with her son's friends, who would regularly visit to enjoy her cooking. Since her son moved out, she sometimes feels the house is a bit too quiet.
