Leyla

"I'm honored to be the speaking and singing voice of Leyla; the adventurous, heartwarming, practical, and nurturing dragon leader."

- Brennley Brown

Leyla is one of the main protagonists in the series Dragons: Rescue Riders.

Early Life
Leyla and her twin Dak were orphaned at a young age after becoming shipwrecked, where Leyla's Dragon Diary is the only thing she has of their mother. The two siblings were later found and rescued by a mother dragon who raised her and Dak beside her son Winger, which resulted in them sharing a special ability to communicate with dragons. They also learned how to ride on the back of dragons, one time after Leyla fell off one of their dragon family's backs and straight into the sea she was saved by a female Fastfin named Summer, who she later became fast friends with. As well as Summer becoming Leyla's dragon while Winger serves as Dak's. When she was 10, they were accepted into the human village of Huttsgalor where they live in an old lighthouse, and spend their days helping other humans and dragons alike.

Physical Appearance
Leyla is a young girl with red hair and green eyes. She wears a purple sleeveless tunic with a quilted appearance, and a long-sleeve shirt underneath banded in light and dark teal. She has purple arm bracers and fingerless brown gloves. Additionally, Leyla wears a green scarf around her neck, a short purple and blue leather skirt, green leggings, and brown boots. She also carries an over-the-shoulder satchel.

Dak
Leyla has a very close relationship with her twin brother, after they were shipwrecked together and lost their birth parents. They aren't seen fighting often, and after being separated for a while, usually embrace in greeting. They do sometimes tease each other, but more often they are giving each other encouragement and support.

Summer
Summer rescued Leyla from falling into the sea when she was younger and fell off another dragon's back. They have since become best friends, and fully support each other, such as when they had to face biting eels to retrieve some sea grass.
