Without a doubt, Genshin Impact has the most passionate fans around the globe. When HoYoverse announces a new character, players instantly create hundreds of artwork and cosplays to show their love for the game’s upcoming 4-stars and 5-stars.
This Layla cosplay of Thai Genshin fan Nateephan “PatJi” Thammasilbanyad won the unofficial speedrun contest in the community.
The cosplayer instantly put together a full costume in less than 24 hours after the Genshin character’s official announcement on September 26.

PatJi impressed the fandom with her lightning-fast skills as a cosplayer, creating Layla’s costume from scratch.
She made everything herself — the character’s white tube top, gold accessories, cloak, and the indigo-cerulean gradient wig. The cosplayer also posted a short video of herself depicting Layla’s mannerisms by holding her cloak and clasping her hands.
PatJi has also cosplayed other Genshin characters such as Jean, Yelan, Keqing, Kamisato Ayato, and Gorou.

Layla, the upcoming Cryo character, is a Rtawahist student specializing in theoretical astrology. Rtawahist is one of the six main schools of the Sumeru Akademiya, focused on the study of stars.
Dubbed “Half-Awake, Half-Asleep, All Incredulous,” Layla is constantly sleep-deprived due to her thesis project and other school assignments.
Layla will be released later this year or early next year as part of Genshin’s Sumeru updates.
