Layla's Two Prayers - Gold and Moonlight in Sister twins

By Nana · Published 11 October 2026

Saint Gold or Shadow Black? Layla has brought two very different moods to the same little confession booth.

Azone introduces Layla (レイラ) in Sister twins as the girl waiting on the other side of the door, ready to listen to the troubles of wandering little lambs. The official story gives her a mischievous smile and just enough devilish charm that I'm not entirely sure the advice would be sensible.

These are two separate Iris Collect dolls built around a sister-inspired costume. Their outfits share a silhouette, but the hair, eye colours and overall impression go in very different directions.

Golden Prayer - a little glow behind the veil

The Golden Prayer version, officially 金色の祈り ver., comes with Saint Gold hair and Cyan Blue eyes. Azone describes the long, honey-coloured wig reaching down toward the knees, with an equally long veil framing the outfit.

The neckline has a cross charm, while the corset skirt has a dramatically high slit with a chain detail. Underneath is a cotton leotard-style inner piece. The full styling leans theatrical, rather than a conventional nun's habit, and Azone calls particular attention to the contrast between the pale hair and the blue eyes.

Moonlit Prayer - black hair, purple eyes and quieter colours

The companion Moonlit Prayer version, 月夜の祈り ver., chooses a pale grey outfit and Shadow Black hair. Its Fluorite Purple eyes are the bit I keep coming back to. They stand out softly against the almost monochrome palette without turning the design loud.

There is another way to display this outfit, too. Azone shows that removing the veil and the detachable sleeves creates a cooler, more open silhouette. The underlying piece is again a leotard with a halter-style neckline and open sides.

The palette may be quieter, but the construction isn't really any less elaborate.

Both dolls use an AZO2 body, I bust, 48 cm, Whity, with an 18 mm original Layla iris design and a 7-8 inch wig. Their soft-vinyl heads were sculpted by ZAN (Neko no Koban); Dejima Ai is credited for the mask and eye designs.

Azone lists the same components for both sets: the doll, veil, cotton inner, corset skirt, detachable sleeves, over-knee socks and strap shoes. The exact edition matters when looking at a product listing; the two colourways are not interchangeable.

The official October 2026 announcement also details a Japan-specific lottery procedure at certain Azone direct stores, and a separate first-come ordering route at Azone's online shops. Those rules should not be confused with Hanabana's ordering terms or an assurance of retailer stock.

Nana's little note ♡

Golden Prayer feels like the girl who has already noticed you're hiding something. Moonlit Prayer looks as if she knows too, but is politely waiting for you to explain it yourself.

I would set them on opposite sides of a miniature stained-glass window, although I suspect they'd spend more time swapping secrets than listening to them.
