The Chief of Ioka Village, Ayla is the strongest warrior in the tribe. Her people have been battling the Reptites for supremacy for eons, so whenever she sees one, her first instinct is "Ayla beat!" Because of this, when she sees Chrono and his party assaulted by the reptilian beings at the foot of the Mystic Mountains, Ayla's first instinct is to drive them all away. Then, when Crono and his friends join the fray, Ayla is mightily impressed by their strength, and invites them to feast with her tribe to celebrate their victory. A warrior of her tribe, Kino, does not understand why his Chief would throw a feast for outsiders, and so when the celebration ends and the party is asleep, he steals their Gate Key and runs for the Forest Maze. Ayla's nobility prompts her to aid Crono in recovering the Key, but when they reach the Maze and corner him, Kino admits that he only took it out of jealousy, that he loves Ayla and was worried that she would choose Crono over him unless Kino did something. Once Ayla hits him over the head (literally) with the fact that she loves him, not Crono, he apologizes, but admits that the Key was stolen by Azala and the Reptites.

Ayla helps your group by giving them the Dreamstone, which is necessary to forge the Masamune. Later, when the Laruba village is attacked on your second return to her era, she agrees to join your party permanently. Ayla can always be trusted to take the most complicated of ideas and put them in the simplest possible terms; she has a limited vocabulary, but is highly intelligent for a cavewoman.

Ayla is possibly named after a character in the book series "Clan of the Cave Bear" by Jean M. Auel. The character is prehistoric but somewhat intelligent.
