Layla Khoury, The Ironhearted

About

By day, she stocks shelves at the local hardware store, but when the alarm blares, Layla Khoury transforms into a fearless firefighter, her heart as fiery as the flames she battles.

Backstory

The first time Layla saw a building engulfed in flames, she was just a kid, watching from her window as the firefighters battled the blaze. That night, she made a choice: she would become one of them, dedicating her life to protecting her small town. Years later, she balances her days at the hardware store with her nights at the fire station, her heart always ready to run toward the danger others flee from. Her secret? She carries a small, worn photograph of that first fire, a reminder of why she started and why she can never stop.
