I passed along my figures to my son, and fell down the G.I. Joe rabbit hole (a frankly embarassing number of eBay purchases). We have been watching ARAH together. It has been quite a bit of fun rediscovering my favourite childhood universe, and seeing it anew through his eyes.
In any event, yesterday we watched Worlds Without End (ARAH S01E46-47), where a small team of Joes gets transported to a parallel universe. I thought this was a nice send-off for the original 1982 characters of Grunt, Clutch and Steeler. Just before the 21 minute mark of the first part, we are introduced to a female Cobra viper - who sounds like she was voiced by B.J. Ward. I wondered if this was meant to imply that in this universe Scarlett had defected, and so did some googling. I've found references to her being Leila / Layla. Does anyone have any additional information about this character? Does she have a counterpart in the main universe? Was she meant to be Scarlett, or did they merely use B.J. Ward for a bit part? |

Couldn't say, but what happened to the back of her pants in that one pic?

Most likely using actors for multiple parts. Most of the main voice actors played multiple characters.

That's not B.J. Ward, it is Mary McDonald-Lewis.

Leila was included as a character in the G.I. Joe Battleground phone game.
"In an alternate universe where Cobra won the fight against freedom, Leila works tirelessly alongside a very different Baroness to gather intel, do recon, and act as a knife-in-the-dark against the venomous ideology of Cobra Commander." |

Google got me here.
I'm currently watching the original cartoon (35yo TF fan stepping into the GI Joe world). Recently watched this 2 parter, it was great. It felt like there was more tension and it was a bit more mature and less goofy than some other episodes. It's my favorite episode set so far out of all that I've watched. Leila, I also thought my eyes weren't working properly when I saw her with bare legs in one clip. Anyway I love the idea of alternate dimensions, there the writers can be a bit more gritty in what happens and not think about the balance of good and evil. Be more creative and play with the characters more freely. The main dimension/timeline has some strict rules. Anyway, I just finished 3d modeling and printing cartoon Scarlett (I'll post that in the creative section) and think I'll build a Leila variant at some point. There are some good screenshots here already and I'll make some myself for reference. The female base model is already done. |

It is widely thought (because of the character model and voice) that Leila appears in the episode "Skeletons in the Closet" at the very beginning. She is the reason that Baroness gets jealous of Destro.

Leila also arguably appears in Spell of the Siren and My Brother's Keeper.

Honestly, if your head-canon wants it to be a parallel Scarlett, then feel free. I like to pretend that the GI Joe's reinforcements in issue #143 are Remco's SGT Rock team providing support for the mission.
