Laala has a bright and cheerful personality, and is often seen bouncing off the walls. As her house is a restaurant, she has a habit of saying her informal catchphrase Capisce! (Kashikoma!) when taking requests. Laala has a very loud speaking voice which she is very conscious about; when she is singing, she tends to be very quiet due to this. It seems that she can only gain the courage to sing loudly when performing in PriPara.

Each route recaps different aspects of the previous Pretty Rhythm series, mainly reintroducing the different characters and their performances. However, Laala and friends only get a chance to enter one door at a time, meaning the film must be watched four times to view each door choice.
