Layandrial is the sister of Eomer and Eowyn. When she was barely five, her father arranged her marriage to the future King of Valnoria. She grew up a happy child, and was worshiped by her uncle Theoden, after her parents died. Unfortunately, because the marriage agreement had been valid, and made between the two fathers, Theoden could do nothing. Layandrial (Layla) had to marry Galimier upon her sixteenth birthday. The day came, and Layla married him, effectively dooming herself to an unhappy life. Galimier was a cruel husband; abusive at times, and unfaithful. Because she lived in Valnoria, a three day's journey from Rohan, nobody there could do anything. Within three years, she became pregnant, with their first child. When she was eight months along, word was sent from Rohan to send all of Valnoria's forces to Helms Deep, for the upcoming battle. Due to the marriage bonds, Galimier had to honor the agreement, and fight alongside Aragorn, who hated him upon meeting. Even Theoden hates Galimier, and none were to mournful when he was killed in battle. There is a secret about Layla's pregnancy that will be found out throughout the course of the story, but the main storyline is Layla's relationship to Legolas.
