Character Information

Born on June 6, 1983, at Hershey Medical Center, Isabel Night - christened Mercy Palazzi - was the daughter of Carmine "Red" Palazzi and Barbara Ann Yeager. Coming from three generations of soldiers: her father served a tour in Vietnam from 1969 – 1970 in the United States Navy SEABEES. Her mother's father - Grandpa Leo - fought in the Korean War as a member of the United States Marine Corp. Her paternal grandfather - Grandpa Joseph - fought the Nazis during WWII in the United States Army Corp of Engineers, while his father - Great-Grandpa Carmine - was a child solider fighting for Italy in the trenches of WWI.

Isabel's mother died when she was two years old from breast cancer. Raised by her father and both sets of grandparents, it was a loving and stable home, but ruled by her opinionated grandmothers who hated each other. Isabel ended up inheriting that same opinionated attitude. As a result, doesn't get into Kindred Politics because she knows that opinionated assholes don't make good leaders.

Another thing in Isabel's family was the presence of art. Her paternal grandfather loved to draw, but it was Isabel's Aunt Camille - her dad's baby sister - who was her primary mentor in balancing her love of writing stories with real-world demands. Thus, she sees art in a more practical stance: how do you balance your love of art with the needs of everyday life?

After graduating college, Isabel moved back home to Providence, RI where in the Summer of 2007 she had a very odd encounter. One evening she went to a promotional event held by a self-published author. Afterward, while they were both discussing the book, the author started glancing toward the nearest bookshelf. Isabel followed her gaze and saw a man staring at her before randomly grabbing a book off the shelf. The author then pulled Isabel away, saying that the creepy man had been staring at her the whole time they were talking.

This was Isabel’s first encounter with her Sire. Her second encounter didn’t happen until Halloween 2007. Around midnight, she and her friend Rachel were attacked by a Sabbat Pack because they had accidentally stumbled upon a Sabbat Festival. Rachel was killed by the Pack, but Isabel escaped. Isabel's Sire appeared and saved her. However, he wanted payment and thought her writing would be an asset to Clan Toreador. Thus, Isabel was Embraced against her will that evening.

Like her father, who while in Vietnam, watched in horror as his 19-year-old best friend, Paul, took an IED for him and saw the top half of his friend's body get blown to pieces, Isabel carries a lot of guilt about Rachel's death and rarely talks about it. Both father and daughter feel guilty that they survived while their friends died.

In Spring 2023, Isabel made her way to Baltimore, MD for Glitter & Gloom where she met a Toreador Anarch named Adrian Final. At the Toreador Gathering, Adrian told them about himself, and her Clanmates feared him. Isabel felt sorry for him, and when someone suggested that someone try to teach him humanity, she volunteered. Currently, Isabel resides in Leonardtown, MD where she is nursing a broken heart due to Adrian being ripped to death by Lupines. She is also dealing with a strange gap in her memories and lack of sleep due to dreams of someone in her apartment calling her "Rose".
