Biography
Lila is Bingo's best friend. She has a mum named Sheila and a little brother, though her dad hasn't been shown yet.
Lila joined Mrs. Retriever's class and initially struggled to make friends. Due to her shyness, she would typically play by herself. Things changed when she met Bingo, who had just arrived at the kindy for the day. Having entered by playing Windup Bingo, she politely asked Lila to “wind [her] back up” so she could continue. Lila did, and was so amused by Bingo's windup toy performance that she joined in, beginning the friendship between them.[2]
Lila has joined Muffin and Socks in watching Cat Squad.
Lila was present at Bingo's party.[3]
Lila's birthday was marked with the kids playing Pass the Parcel - one where everything is given to each recipient. She and the other kids are soon introduced to Lucky's Dad's Rules as Lucky's dad doesn't want to risk raising what his wife calls a "nation of squibs". They're all initially hesitant to the idea, Lila tearing up as Bingo runs to her mum in sadness, but everyone, including Lila, would come to accept and even enjoy it.[4]
Lila was present when Bingo did her show and tell presentation.[5]
One day, Lila visited the Heeler Family's House to partake in a playdate with Bingo, with the duo riding on a new water slide Bandit had just purchased. They eventually come face-to-face with numerous bugs, with one they saved growing into a butterfly.[6]
