Lahla is Peeka's sister who works at the Pianta Parlor, Don Pianta's casino, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Lahla runs the casino's various games and sells items which can be bought with pianta tokens. Lahla can be interacted with behind the counter, where she will reveal some facts about herself. She is one of the first people Mario helped at the Trouble Center and simply wanted someone to come play at the casino. She gives Mario some free pianta tokens when he enters the casino for the first time.
