pardon the extra o's, I couldn't resist Hee! And yes, god I need to wipe the smug off the screen with a washcloth just to read.
Yeah, as with Jade and the werelion ladies, she was indeed very, very clearly made just to shut us haters up, and it shows in how BAD her execution is that it's not because LKH is trying to learn or do better, she just totally misses the issue still.
Accents can definitely be tricky with characters who originated in other times and then spent long periods of time in various places (or, alternatively, in one very isolated place, like Ruthven on the moor) but there's no goddamn excuse for Laila, as that's not the case with her. ALSO MA FUCKING PETITE, UGH. Even though she's made French the most important language in vampire culture for no particular reason, LKH screws up a *lot* on it. My personal fave flub was when Jean-Claude used a *Spanish* term of endearment for Valentina. Not that there's any reason JC couldn't speak Spanish, just I am 100% sure it was meant to be French.
