Layla Heartfilia

Layla Heartfilia (レイラ・ハートフィリア Reira Hātofiria) was Lucy Heartfilia's mother, and wife of Mr. Heartfilia. She was also a Celestial Spirit Mage.

Appearance
Layla was a beautiful young woman. She had soft brown eyes along with long blond hair, which she usually wore in a bun type style. Like her daughter, Layla had a voluptuous figure. She and her daughter are known to have similar appearances, to the point that Lucy is almost the splitting image of her mother.

History
She and Lucy's father were originally part of a merchants' guild called "Love & Lucky". The two decided to become independent when Layla became pregnant with Lucy. They chose her name when they noticed that the sign of the guild had the letter K missing so instead, it read 'Love & Lucy'; this made an impression on them so they decided to name their daughter after it.

In her home, Lucy kept a good relation with the staff in the estate and presumably her mother until she passed away when Lucy was around the age of ten on X777. She was 29 years old when she died.

It was revealed that she was a Celestial Spirit Mage who held contracts with Capricorn, Cancer, and Aquarius. Around 20 years ago, Layla retired all her Spirits due to illness, but made a pact with Caprico, who committed to protect her family for eternity. Each of her spirits were distributed to three different owners, each to be entrusted with a key until Layla's child was ready to inherit the spirits. Many years later, Lucy received Cancer and Aquarius as per the agreement that Layla had arranged, but Capricorn's owner reneged on his agreement.
