Lyla

Lyla is the main character in Mako Mermaids. There are rumors that Lyla will be the rebel mermaid, much like Rikki was in H2O: Just Add Water. In TV Week magazine, Lucy Fry reveals that her character is "the fiery mermaid, and she's very determined and passionate." In the same magazine article, it is revealed that Lyla develops feelings for merman Zac.

StoryEdit
She and her friends, Sirena and Nixie, monitor Zac on Mako Island. They attack him and take him to the Moon Pool which causes him to get a tail and powers.

PowersEdit
She has the Cryokinesis/Gelidkinesis power.

She shares the abilities of both Emma and Bella, respectively from H2O: Just Add Water.

EtymologyEdit
The name Lyla, in both English and French, means "from the island" and "Island Girl", possibly implying she might be from or born at Mako Island or another island of the coast of australia. In Persian, it means "dark princess", and in both Arabic and Hebrew, it means "night", which might be referencing the Full Moon and its magic at night.
