About 𓇋𓈖𓊪𓅱𓃣 (Anubis)' personality:
So with the upcoming Egyptian story by Remy (KCD's author) and the fact that Anubis is the god of death, I fear that Remy will butcher him and misportray him by giving him a nasty "bad boy" or bigoted personality like Amrit's (and since RC has seen that sells and Remy has said she knows nothing about Egypt, this doesn't seem that impossible). This is why I want to talk about Anubis' actual personality according to the legends. So, let's start:
Anubis (or Inpu, 𓇋𓈖𓊪𓅱𓃣) was a god with a complex personality. He was often depicted as a calm and serious figure, who was deeply committed to his duties as the protector of the dead. At the same time, he was known to be a powerful and fearsome deity who could bring punishment to those who did not follow the rules of the afterlife. Despite this, Anubis was seen as a kind and gentle god who helped guide the souls of the deceased to the afterlife, as well as to navigate the afterlife and find their place among the gods.
As a compassionate god who cared for the souls of the dead, Anubis was responsible for weighing their hearts against a feather, to determine whether they were worthy of entering the afterlife or not. Despite being associated with death and transformation, Anubis was not a malevolent or sinister deity, but rather a guide and protector.
His personality was also characterized by his wisdom, intelligence, and fairness, often described as a stern and mysterious figure with a powerful presence. He had a measured, thoughtful and stoic demeanor, and was considered to be a fair and impartial judge, who would not tolerate any deceit or wrongdoing. He embodied solemnity and justice and was also associated with loyalty, devotion, and courage.
All in all, Anubis was seen as a wise and powerful deity, with a deep understanding of the mysteries of life and death. His multifaceted personality reflected his role as a guide and protector of the dead, embodying both kindness and power in equal measure.
As you can see, Anubis was far from being a "bad boy" or from being a nasty bigot with inflated ego like Amrit so portraying him like that would be like doing him dirty. Based on the descriptions of his personality Anubis sounds more like Ratan or Ivo Martin in some ways. I truly hope Remy does her research well and doesn't butcher any of the Egyptian gods this time, like she did with goddess Kali.

I often think, based on either of her canonical names alone, if Layla/Aisha was a real person, what would be her heritage? I know she's based on Beyonce so the most obvious answer would be an African-American citizen (or, not influenced by Saga but: British Jamaican???), but I like to entertain more elaborate options, especially since both names have Arabic origins but are widespread in differents countries and communities.
My tentative guess, when taking into consideration the fact that both her names have Arabic origins, would be that her character has some influences from North Africa. The majority (if not all) of countries in North Africa are culturally, ethnically, and linguistically related to Western Asia. As a result, different variants and dialects of Arabic are widely spoken in many countries in North Africa. That could explain why both her names have Arabic origins.
Having said that, I wouldn't necessarily say she'd be of North African descent if she were a real-world person; I'm mainly saying it's a possibility that some inspiration was drawn from North Africa when creating her character.
