For real though, Ayla smashing into the scene, pinning Crono to the wall and then declaring that she likes strong men and strong women too (bi cavewoman rights!) and then reacting with "No rubbish or Ayla head go boom!" to Robo trying to explain what he is to her and then inviting them all to party with her tribe was one of the moments that made me really start loving Chrono Trigger. I also thought it was adorable and pretty funny that one of her moves is literally giving kisses to injured party members to make me feel better! And then later on she's able to steal stuff from opponents in through the power of flirting and no one can resist her sexy cavewoman wiles... absolute legend.
Side note: I also really liked the bit where she smacks Kino and then explains to him that no, it's not that she personally thinks he's bad, is that she actually likes him a lot and respects him and it disappoints her to see him act like a petty jerk to Crono. Minus the smack, I think it does a nice job of showing a level of social skill and leadership on her part, helps me understand why she's the leader of Ioka village. And then later on when she's willing to offer help to Azala (one of my favorite secondary/antagonistic characters in CT) it's like she's not even thinking about humans vs. reptites, good us vs. bad them anymore, she just wanted to help someone she respected. She has that line about Azala being really smart early on. I think it's probably easy to mistake Ayla for being just dumb muscle/eye candy due to her being a literal cavewoman, but she's actually pretty emotionally mature, at least in my opinion. Anyway yeah Ayla kicks ass
