Lailah

Lailah is a demon in the series.

History
Lailah, also known as Laylah, Layla, Leliel or Laila, is the Jewish Angel of conception along with pregnancy, childbirth and the night.

While not as well known as other angels, she is still a prominent figure on Earth. She was the angel who was appointed to Abraham and is one of the angels to deal with the commander Sisera. She usually is ranked as a Dominion or Seraph.

According to the book "Before You Were Born," she was the angel that brings souls and the seed together and then sees to it that the seed is planted in the womb. In doing so, Lailah serves as a midwife of souls. While the infants grow in the womb, Lailah places a lit candle at the head of the unborn infant, so they can see from one end of the world to the other.

She also teaches the unborn child the entire Torah, as well the history of her soul. Then, when the time comes for the child to be born, the angel extinguishes the light in the womb and brings the child into the world. And the instant the child emerges, the angel lightly strikes its finger on the child's lip, as if to say "Shh" and this causes the child to forget everything learned in the womb. It's implied that the knowledge is still there, but merely forgotten.

Lilith is often compared to Lailah as an evil opposite, seeking to kill newborn children while Lailah seeks to protect them. Lilith wastes the seed and is bent on destruction, not creation. Both are also related to the night. The ending lah is a feminine. Lailah is the only angel with a feminine name and distinctly feminine characteristics.

Trivia

 * Laillah's design is symbolic of two of her attributes: The test tube in her hands represents because of the common slang of "test tube baby." Her dark apparel (long gown, mask and hat) indicates night activities.
