At some point prior to first Sonic the Hedgehog and Chip's arrival in Shamar, Layla travel to Shamar to research local ruins and study under Professor Pickle's instructions, where she became an exchange student on a local university in Shamar. When Sonic and Chip first arrived in Shamar, Layla greeted them when they found Professor Pickle's laboratory and let them inside once she had introduced herself.

From there, Layla remained Sonic and Chip's connection to Professor Pickle, telling them where Professor Pickle had figured they should go next and when he wanted to see them, while she encouraging them to seek out his advice. She also often mention that the professor looked forward to see what souvenirs Sonic and Chip had brought him´while explained that was not like that Professor Pickle only received and never gave.

When Sonic and Chip prepared to go to Eggmanland, Layla told them that she would be rooting for them and that the townspeople did not know how close the planet was to oblivion. Layla then told them that they were their only hope left and that they should give it their best shot.

Layla later watched on in horror with the rest of Shamar as Dark Gaia began to cast the world into darkness while maturing into Perfect Dark Gaia, but later rejoiced, with her high-fiving Shadi, when the world returned to normal following Perfect Dark Gaia's defeat at the hands of Super Sonic and the Gaia Colossus.

Wii/PlayStation 2[]

At some point prior to Sonic the Hedgehog and Chip's first arrival in Shamar, Layla became an exchange student at Shamar University where she studied. At some other point, she obtained the Sun Tablet to Shamar's Sacred Shrine.

When Sonic and Chip first arrived in Shamar, Layla was complaining about Shamar's heat when she met them. After introducing herself to Sonic and Chip, she heard that they were looking for Professor Pickle's laboratory. Having just seen Professor Pickle's Assistant, Layla told them where to find him, sure that Professor Pickle's Assistant knew where the laboratory was.

Later, Layla met Sonic and Chip again, where she heard they had found Professor Pickle. She told them that she had been waiting for them and gave them the Sun Tablet before telling them to get the Chaos Emerald to the Gaia Temple. As Sonic and Chip asked how she got her hands on the Sun Tablet, Layla only said that many strange forces had been at work recently. After Sonic and Chip got through the door, Layla congratulated them, but also remarked that they still had a long way to go.

Later, Lalya met up with Sonic and Chip again, where she told them that she believed that fate had brought them to Shamar and made them meet each other, before giving them Soundtrack 43 as she thought it would come in handy.

When Sonic and Chip were close to restore the planet, Layla told Sonic that she knew he would be able to save the planet and him that she believed in him.

Layla later watched on in horror with the rest of Shamar as Dark Gaia began to cast the world into darkness while maturing into Perfect Dark Gaia, but later rejoiced, with her high-fiving Shadi, when the world returned to normal following Perfect Dark Gaia's defeat at the hands of Super Sonic and the Gaia Colossus.
