Ayla fight while alive! Win and live. Lose and die. Rule of life. No change rule.

Ayla Render By Valor-Girl.

Background

Ayla is first introduced to the party when Crono and his friends visit the prehistoric era to repair Frog's sword, The Masamune, to assist in their battle against Magus, leader of the Mystics and murderer of Frog's best friend Cyrus. The broken pieces of the Masamune are acquired after the party defeats Masa and Mune, the guardians of the blade. The shards are taken to Melchior, a swordsmith and Guru, who cannot repair the blade without Dreamstone, a crimson-colored rock of ancient origin—so ancient that the party must travel millions of years into the past to recover a sample. Upon their arrival in Mystic Mountain, they are ambushed by a seemingly ceaseless swarm of Reptites. Ayla shows up to fight them off and invites the time-travelers to her village for a party. Ayla, as chieftain due to her strength and will, is the keeper of the Dreamstone, and during the party, if Crono beats Ayla at an alcohol-chugging competition (censored in the English version as "soup"), she willingly forks it over. However, when the sun rises the next day, they find the camp has been ransacked by Reptites and the Gate Key stolen. Tracking the reptilian marauders to Forest Maze, Ayla convincesKino to admit he had stolen the Gate Key out of jealousy, after which point the Reptites stole it from him. Ayla, Crono, and the others invade the Reptite Lair, defeat Nizbel, and take the Gate Key from Azala so they can return to the present and repair the sword.

She does not appear again until the battle against Magus transports the party back to Prehistory. Alongside Ayla, Crono and the others battle the Reptites and witness the origin of Lavos at Tyranno Lair. As the alien parasite falls from the sky as a "Red Star", Azala predicts an Ice Age will claim the land. It is at this point that Ayla names "Lavos", a word she made up from the root words "La" meaning "fire" and "Vos" "big" in the Iokan language.

Ayla's strong morals convince her to join the party permanently after this.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Ayla’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Chrono Trigger Prior to the year 65,000,000 BC., Ayla became chief of Ioka village due to her strength and fearlessness, acquiring a Piece of the Dreamstone as a symbol of that office. She led her people in the war against the Reptites, assumedly since the beginning of her time as chief. When the mysterious time-travelers from the Future arrived, Ayla temporarily relinquished her post to join them in their quest to stop Lavos. Kino, her mate, probably served as chief in her place. Outside the Forest Maze, right before the defeat of Nizbel in the Reptite Lair, she mentions that upon falling terminally ill or upon dying, Kino will become chief of the Ioka Village. Because of this, it seems that the title of chief does not necessarily travel to the strongest or most courageous of the Iokan Tribe, but rather, progresses to the spouse or the next genetic heir, much like the monarchy that exists in following eras.

After Lavos hits the planet, dust blasts into the atmosphere and blocks out the sun. This causes an ice age and the extinction of the Reptites; Ayla subsequently retires from her duties as chief; and after the defeat of Lavos, Ayla returned to the time era 65,000,000 BC. and then she married Kino with a Dreamstone ring. As she is the distant ancestor of Marle and the Guardia Royal Family, she and he produced a lineage that survived the Ice Age and even survived the Fall of Zeal.

Chrono Cross In Chrono Cross, Ayla does not make an appearance in the game; but, however, a young girl from a prehistoric era named Leah bears a strong striking resemblance to her in manner and appearance. Leah also told Serge at the end of the game that she will name her child "Ayla", the name meaning "New song of land" according to her.

  • Critical Hit: Robo jumps over to the enemy and hits them with a hard right hook, dealing devastating damage.
  • Counter-Attack: When equipped with certain accessories Ayla will counter when an enemy attacks her without taking up a turn.

Other

Standard Tactics: Ayla’s style of fighting is mixed with scratching and her techs, with equipment she uses to defend from various physical attacks and magical spells. Ayla is naturally better at fighting with a team so she normally will summon her friends across time to help her in combat and do various team attacks. If the enemy proves very powerful she might use the Epoch to ram it.

Weaknesses: Does not have any magic due to existing before magic was created.

Note: The 50% of damage absorption does not mean they absorb 50% of the damage and take the other 50% of damage, it means that they convert 50% of the damage into health, while the other 50% is neglected.

Note 2: Ayla’s “fist” are not extra items but just her regular fist upgraded as she gains more levels thus it is not added as a part of equipment but naturally how her power grows.
