(but for the actual #Lylaverse specific answer, my favorite is Lyla reviving him in the Source, which this linked thread details)

It's true for Lyla's Moon Keeper clan and their allies, including a dual tribe of Sun Seekers in Abalathia
In their case, it's their history. Their ancestors used celestial navigation to return to Aldenard from Meracydia, and they named themselves for following the sun, moon, and stars

Maelstrom Secretariat, and another obscure NPC partner of Lyla's is the current Great Gourd
#🌙🍹 #🕸️🍂
Both have #Lylaverse customization of course, like their appearances and the Great Gourd being called Xenia (and I love having them take selfies)

Estinien loving fiber arts 😌
(and in the #Lylaverse, he regularly donates his crafts to charities in places he's visited)

They're canon to an extent in the #Lylaverse, but Lyla isn't always the one who does all the quests (the more recent DT ones have been done by one of her shards instead, for example)
Lyla appreciates the knowledge they've uncovered together, but she can only deal with Hildy in small doses

This is a niche #Lylaverse thing, but cilantro tastes overwhelmingly like soap to Wuk Lamat and Zhai'a Nelhah but not to Koana

She doesn't ask about it later in the Sea either, as there are bigger issues that her group must focus on
(Lyla doesn't know it then, but the Elpis she visits is a simulacrum created from a ton of memories within souls, so it's unclear how accurate her experience is to the real past)

Lyla is great friends with Lucia (and both immediately thought the other was cute but said nothing because they were in the middle of war and very focused on work)
Lucia also helped Aymeric renovate his libraries as a gift for Lyla, and she and Lyla bonded over disinterest in cooking

Lyla's the type who says she doesn't dance and people just believe her because she brings books to parties
Ranaa Mihgo and others rate her higher than 7, but Lyla's comparing herself to dancers like her aunt Fheli and uncle Rhea'to (she shouldn't, but does), both famous for it

Since asking Lyla to help with the enchanted tome, Nazqha has told her not to read any version of the story yet, as her perspective is 100% fresh
(Lyla didn't intentionally break Noumenon's security. No one predicted a book breakout as an indirect result of what she did in Ultima Thule)

Yes, and Lyla's Moon Keeper clan has their own art form of it called quintessemblance that Lyla works into her glams. She first learned from family. Her DRK princess dress is a well-known example of her work
(in the #Lylaverse, Armoury System and Glamour Dresser are two complex standardized spells)

Lyla is one of those warriors of light. Being forgotten completely upends her life and messes her up
In the #Lylaverse, the mass forgetfulness is just part of Louisoix's spell. It's an active effect that hits when someone who knew a wol tries to remember, and some people feel it when it occurs

In the #Lylaverse, it's been some very vague handful(s?) of years
Lyla's sense of time is poor from a linear perspective, but she's pretty sure it's been less than ten years in the Source. Hardly anyone she interacts with ever mentions exact dates (and she wouldn't calculate the time if they did)

(Myste's appearance later changes in ShB due to Light corruption)
In her canon, Lyla's eyes were yellow pre-Calamity. She doesn't know why they were red post-Calamity. In #Lylaverse 2.0 while Louisoix's spell was unbroken, she couldn't fully remember how she'd looked, but knew her eye color changed

Wealth, which includes much more than mere money
but gil was why Lyla originally began—she wanted to travel to study magic and was already doing adventurer work out in the Black Shroud. She just wasn't registered with the guild until elementals arranged for her return to Gridania in 1.0

Aside from Lyla's whole great-clan and their allies, I made a writing team with a Gridanian publication called The Magpie. It's a companion to The Raven, focused on gossip and sensational journalism. Lyla's rescued its writers before and one is currently in the Occult Crescent expedition

Fun #Lylaverse fact:
Shtola and Mhitra were not the first ones to tell Sohnjin of Lyla and any of her gear, not even the dress.
Qih Aliapoh was, due to her learning a lot about Lyla from regular correspondence with Zhloe, Khloe, Jihli, Leih, and several others. Lyla was surprised

Lyla's wondered but not dwelled deeply on it
Many know about her. He'd've been hearing of her from at least several of his daughters, if not also from his colleagues. There's little they know that she'd ask them not to share on their own. She also appreciates his taste in literature

In #Lylaverse Elpis, she does catch the petaloudai Hythlodaeus asks for, but she stops him from reverting them and says that she'll make a robe herself. She uses quintessemblance (her clan's glamour-weaving technique) for it
Not that any there doubted, but that made it even clearer she's of Melinoë

It's possible that someone might've tried had Lyla been lost. No one's waiting in the wings and Lyla's the Source Azem shard, but she has equivalents
In actual #Lylaverse canon, had Lyla fallen, she wouldn't've stayed so. There was a contingency plan known to Hydaelyn and Melia, another Azem shard

Lyla is polyamorous ✨

Mine include Lyla Sylvie (Warrior of Moonlight, Sorcerous Mage, etc herself ✨), Mirabelle and Maribelle Terremiaux (SCH and BRD mains, respectively), Lyla's mom Naja Sulaej ("do no harm, take no shit" ALC, CNJ), and Lyla's sire Nioh'to Zelekko (Archon, SGE, has a cerberpup named Trinity)

Yep, all the time. Lyla even still uses 1.0 techniques like Stygian Spikes. You can see her using Damnation in this #Lylafic linked
Gameplay mechanics changing is separate from her actual lore. She never loses skills, though sometimes I expand upon lore of discipline changes within the #Lylaverse

How Lyla slew Camazotz and co wasn't specifically to make sure she and E-Sumi survived the fight after Zhai'a, Sylphie, and Gatty escaped Comet's Tail. They weren't going to lose that fight. She did it because she wanted to ensure those voidsent couldn't return, and she had Fray's help

Lyla's is more often mispronounced, especially by Coerthans saying Lyla (LYE-la) as Lila (LEE-la), like lilas in #Lylaverse Ishgardian rather than lilac in Eorzean
(There's a "Lyla, like lilac" note in the AST guild records too, and Jannequinard mispronounced it for moons before Lyla said anything)

I treat it the same way I treat Lyla's age (as in, maybe it was accurate at one time, but now it's intentionally vague and has been so for years). I adjust everything to the #Lylaverse timelines.
And either way, those books are in-universe texts by scholars who are capable of giving incorrect info

I just imagined Lyla leaving a chibi Arkveld plush for Zenos at the #Lylaverse Nekropolis library, and after he gets it and learns what it is, he starts including it in his art, there's soon an Arkveld fanclub at the Last Dregs, and Jammingway's made contact with Lyla's Felyne acquaintances for lore

and Zhai'a did main RDM for #Lylaverse 7.3 MSQ, if you were wondering (and he switched to WHM for the finale to co-heal with Lyla so the others could focus on damage)

Lyla is the Source's reincarnation of Melinoë, Azem of the Apocalypse. As far as Lyla is concerned, that's it. She resists comparison and contrast between herself and them. She doesn't want others thinking of her as Azem
(Lyla's never met Meteor. It's unknown if he even exists in the #Lylaverse)
