For the most part, she's the only member of the crew that Doffy forced her to join. Her role of the crew is their treasurer because of her background of being a jeweler. Layla's "loyalty" is rooted in her fear of dying but she still has a bit of fondness for some members.
Doflamingo
She is absolutely terrified of Doflamingo
Won't look into his eyes since the first escape attempt gave her the tear tattoos on her face
She's aware that the only reason he wants her in the family is because of her devil fruit
Tries to avoid him as best as she can but it's difficult since he seeks her out
In Doffy's perspective, he has a sense of nostalgia of owning a slave as a celestial dragon
Mix in his mommy issues and you get uncomfortable interactions
Corazon
She's so confused by this man, they might be friends?
One moment he's cold and distant then suddenly he's attentive and surprisingly sweet???
Hates the fact that he hits the kids but knows she can't stop him
When it's just them together he shows that he has a sense of humor and can get her to laugh
Her reflexes have gotten better with his clumsiness
In Corazon's perspective, he knows he can't get her out without Doffy hunting her down so he tries his best to make her life less miserable
He finds her normalcy comforting and seeks her company when he's tired of everyone else
He does freak out internally when he realizes he fell for her and tries to hide it (beats himself up out of guilt)
Giolla
She finds her very... Eccentric...
This "friendship" is very much just her agreeing to Giolla's taste in art and crafting her "unique" taste of jewelry
Llorona does appreciate that there's another woman in the group
There is a hidden feeling of resentment towards her since it was Giolla's decision to take her in
In Giolla's perspective, she adores having another artist in the group
Loves having to pick out her clothes (with Doffy's input) and dresses her up like a doll
Appreciates the helping hand in taking care of the children
Senior Pink
She finds him one of the most normal out of everyone
At some point she pinpointed a romantic man underneath that hard boiled exterior
Teases him endlessly and likes to offer advice even if he won't take it (he keeps it cool through it all)
In Senior's perspective: finds her to be too fragile to be in the family, both mentally and physically
He only protects her if it's dire, he'll never let anyone in the family break his demeanor
He does go to her in designing the engagement ring for Russian
Diamante
She finds him extremely irritating
His constant prying and accusations of her relations with Corazon is one thing but also pursuing her? Annoying!
She uses his ego against him to leave her alone but it'll just be temporary and he'll be back at it again!
Diamante's perspective: he likes his women feisty and since her husband is dead it's fine to flirt (like he'd cared anyway)
But he has noticed that Corazon tends to be softer with her, if he's going to claim her then he has to have his fun first
Trebol
Disgusting! Revolting! Hates him and is loud about it
Everything he says gets on her nerves and causes her to lose her composure
Hates his power too! Reminds her of frogs (she hates them too)
Trebol's perspective: finds her outbursts amusing
Only sees her as a source of entertainment and as a weapon
Lao G
She finds him a bit odd but not off-putting
He kind of reminds her of her own grandparents
She enjoys his company and often spends her time just chatting away
His sudden bursts of energy when it comes to the letter G does surprise her from time to time
Lao G's perspective: a soft hearted young lady, maybe too soft hearted
Enjoys the company and finds her to be a well member of the family
Gladius and Pica
She feels like she's walking on eggshells around those two
Knows they're very destructive when they're angry and tries to avoid that as much as possible
If something riles them up, she'll try to calm them down (it never really works)
Gladius's perspective: he finds her bearable until she tries to butt in to calm him down
Pica's perspective: thinks of her like any other member, hasn't caught her laughing at his voice so she's safe for now...
The kids
She adores them!
She enjoys their company and raising them helps fill in the void of losing her son
But feels terrible that they're part of this crew and what they do to them
She wants them to leave and live a normal life but doesn't want to be left alone with these pirates
Baby 5's perspective: loves that she can be of use to someone so nice! Another girl in the group that loves romance too is wonderful to have
Buffalo's perspective: loves having her around! She's so nice and gives them ice cream when they're good
They both never want her to leave :)
Law
She saw her son in Law's eyes for a moment and it freaked her out
Kept her distance for a bit to avoid breaking down in front of him
It broke her heart hearing his story, she thought she has a chance to heal with him only to find out he'll die too
Tries to have Law get close with the other kids so he won't feel lonely
Law's perspective: he assumed that she avoided him because of his disease and hated her for it
When she stopped and tries to be nice with him, only confused and irritated him
Only tolerated her kindness since she's the only adult that doesn't harm the kids
