Character Information
The woman who stalks the woods of Middle and southern Georgia only superficially resembles the girl she was so long ago. This woman stands a few inches taller than her original six feet even. The long hair that was once her pride is gone entirely, replaced by a full head of oil black feathers that create a truly warlike crest along the center of her head that flares with her emotions, with smaller feathers decorating the rest of the space where hair once was. Massive ram horns sprout from just behind her forehead and softly twist back and behind her head, equally oil black with a blue sheen, decorated with twisted leather, feathers and beads. Instead of human ear, soft furred wolves ears twisted out from her skull behind her jaws, midnight black in color. The bone structure of her face seems off, distinctly monstrous and inhuman - tiny pebbled scales the same iridescent blue black as her feathers edge down from her horns, around the edges of her forehead and face, and across her cheekbones, trailing the corners of her jaw and framing her eyebrows. The scales serve to accent the truly eerie nature of her eyes; they are totally gold with no whites visible, her pupils twisted into sideways ovals like a goat's. When she smiles, one can see the structure of her jaw is wrong, the muscles off - it doesn't become obvious why until she opens her mouth to begin to speak, and long snake fangs unfold from the roof of her mouth and fall down into place. When Isadora gestures as she speaks, the gloves she wears are pierced through at the tips with wickedly hooked claws. She wears old fashioned but concealing clothing, so none can tell anything else by sight. But when the night is quiet you can hear the rustle of what sounds like fabric over scales, and when her sleeves drop back there is the distinctive glimmer of iridescent blue-black.
Isadora started her life out as loud and brash, but has tempered with age - and a traumatic experience - and now she considered her words and speaks little, letting her sister do most of the talking. She spends much of her time out in the forests of Georgia, communing with nature and generally avoiding the so called "civilized" world. She makes it to Gather rarely, but when she does she seems constantly a hint amused by the goings on. Her voice is heavily accented like her sire Ivan's with her native Slavic tongue.
Her "traumatic experience" made her the talk of the town for a while. Not long after Isadora's introduction to Camarilla society, she was approached by a Tremere named Sandra - who unbeknownst to Isadora held a deep grudge against Ivan. Sandra lured the Gangrel out into a secluded area with a plea for help, and then betrayed her, staking her and carrying her off into her home. She had a plan to use her against her sire - this ultimately failed. Six years later however, rumors began to grow about how Prince Brian Faulkner was not doing his duty to the Gangrel and protecting them, for another had gone missing in his domain of Middle Georgia - and Ivan and Ophelia were able to activate a magic that allowed them to track Isadora, letting them know she was still in existence. Ivan called a Hunt, and rode to the rescue though there was somewhat of a battle. But Isadora came out of it, finally released from the box that had been her hell for six years, and she returned to the arms of her broodmates, her family, quite happily.
Isadora is known to be fiercely loyal to her family, and has recently undergone a religious conversion. But unlike her sister, Isadora will not regale you with stories if you ask about her religion. She will quietly inform you that yes, she is the Priestess of her god Veles, and that if you wish to know more you are welcome to the next ritual circle.
The past year few have seen her except in the woods - it seems she has become almost a total hermit, living in the words and erecting shrines to her god. It's possible she may even have broken ties to her brood, but no one knows for sure.
