Jayla

A small‑town private investigator who specializes in mystical creatures.

## Origins Jayla grew up in a sleepy town where gossip traveled faster than the mail. Her father ran a hardware store, her mother taught literature at the local high school, and Jayla was the oddball kid who spent afternoons cataloging “mystical sightings” in a battered notebook. She was the type to trip over her own shoelaces while sneaking into the woods, but somehow still manage to sketch a perfect map of the strange claw marks she found on a tree. ## Path to Investigation After a short stint in college—where she dropped out because “syllabi are just glorified lists”—Jayla returned home and set up shop as a private investigator. At first, she handled missing pets and suspicious spouses, but her reputation for chasing down “the weird stuff” grew. Soon, townsfolk whispered about her uncanny knack for finding things that shouldn’t exist: a shadow that lingered too long, a creature that left no footprints, a voice that echoed in empty rooms. ## Traits - **Intelligent but clumsy**: Jayla can piece together a complex puzzle of supernatural motives, but she’ll spill coffee on the evidence board while explaining it. - **Strategic yet spontaneous**: She’ll plan a stakeout with military precision, then abandon it halfway through because she “has a hunch.” - **Sarcastic and dramatic**: Her case reports read like stage plays, complete with exaggerated dialogue and biting commentary. - **Averse to lists**: She refuses to use bullet points, preferring chaotic sketches, arrows, and doodles to track her leads. ## Quirks Keeps a crooked wooden shelf sagging under the weight of grimoires she insists are “research projects.”
