Character Information

Born on June 6, 1983 at Hershey Medical Center, Isabel Night - christened Mercy Palazzi - is the daughter of Carmine "Red" Palazzi and his German wife, 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 stable and loving home, but ruled by her opinionated grandmothers who hated each other. Isabel ended up inheriting both grandmothers' opinionated attitude, and as a result, tends to stay away from Kindred Politics. After all, opinionated assholes DO NOT make good leaders.

Another thing in Isabel's family was the presence of art. Grandpa Joseph loved to draw, but it was his daughter - Isabel's Aunt Camille - who was Isabel's primary mentor in balancing her love of writing stories with real-world demands. Like most of her family, Isabel sees art in a more practical stance. Yes, it's wonderful, but how do you balance it with the needs of everyday life?

After earning her degree in Creative Writing, Isabel moved back home to Providence, RI. However, 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 she and the author were discussing the book, the author started glancing toward the nearest bookshelf. Isabel followed her gaze and saw a man staring at her. He then randomly grabbed a book off the shelf. The author 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 wouldn't happen until Halloween 2007. Around midnight, she and her best friend Rachel were attacked by a Sabbat Pack. Earlier that evening, they accidentally stumbled upon a Sabbat Festival. Rachel was killed by the Pack, but Isabel escaped. As she was running for life, 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 watched in horror as his 19-year-old best friend, Paul, took an IED for him in Vietnam, Isabel carries a lot of guilt about Rachel's death. She rarely talks about the event in details without crying. Both father and daughter feel guilty that they survived while their friends died.

In Spring 2023, Isabel made her way to Baltimore, MD for a gathering known as Glitter & Gloom. There, she met a Toreador Anarch named Adrian Final. When it was time for the Toreador Meeting, Adrian was there and told them about himself. Her Clanmates feared him, but Isabel felt sorry for him. When someone suggested that he try to learn humanity, she volunteered to teach him. 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 dreams of being near a large, talking fire with a group of people...

Rumors

• Lizzie's real name is Mercy. Initially, her mother wanted to name her Mercedes, but her dad thought it sounded like the name of a car. So they compromised and came up with Mercy instead. According to this website Mercedes is a Spanish title of the Virgin Mary: Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes or Our Lady of Mercies.
  
• Lizzie's family IS Roman Catholic. Her father and grandparents taught her how to pray the Our Father and Hail Mary. She learned other prayers as she got older.
  
• Lizzie's great-grandfather - Grandpa Leo's dad - was named Isadore. This may partially be the reason elaborate names are common in her mother's family.

• Lizzie has a fondness for a stuffed opossum named Lester.
  
• Lizzie actually holds a paying job! She isn't wealthy.

• Lizzie is very comfortable with computers. She can use Google, Bing, Facebook, and other internet tools.
  
• Lizzie was having some strange dreams about someone in her room, calling her "Rose." Though her sleeping has gotten better, and the incident's still unexplained. This could be a reference to Joseph Pander.
  
• Lizzie had been having some strange dreams about someone claiming to be her "angel." This "angel" was checking to make sure she fed, got enough sleep, and see to her other needs. It's been rumored that this "angel" is really the Sabbat Regent.
• Recently, Lizzie's been dreaming about standing in front of a large bonfire with a voice speaking to her. She doesn't know if the fire is talking to her or if someone is projecting their voice through the flames. Also, for some strange reason, she keeps passing out around the fire but doesn't know why. Not only that, but the voice keeps telling her that Adrian Final is still alive...
  
• Lizzie went to Conclave 2024 in Boston, MA. There, she was caught praying at a local Catholic Church while helping a group enter the Underworld to collect - what she thought - was an Archon's ashes. She doesn't know exactly what she did, so if you really want to know what happened, please ask Archon Che Valiente.
  
• It's been rumored that the American Soldier that Archon Che Valiente was talking to in the Underworld was Lizzie's father's best friend from Vietnam: Paul.
