moment must be late
Name: Born as Kylie Mallory, Isabella Blake was named by her adoptive parents. They chose Isabella after the many royal queens and princesses named Isabella, because she was like their little princess. Isabella is a Latin form of Isabel, which in turn is a medieval form of Elizabeth, meaning "my God is an oath" or "consecrated to God." Blake is derived from Old English, meaning "black" or "pale" ironically. Meanwhile, Kylie is the feminine form of Kyle, which means "channel" or "narrow." Mallory means "unhappy" or "unfortunate."
Isabella's parents wanted to change their child's name in case there was any emotional baggage hanging on to her birth name. When Isabella was old enough to understand, her parents asked if she liked her current name or if she wanted it changed back to her birth name. She preferred Isabella, and actually thought Kylie sounded kind of weird. Occasionally she is called Isa, but she doesn't allow this unless the person is very close to her.
Age: She was born on Monday, November 24th, 1997, making her 15 years old currently.
Gender: Isabella was born as and identifies as a lady person.
Eyes: She sports a set of lively green-grey eyes that make her looks innocent and happy.
Hair: Naturally curly and hard to manage, Isabella's long brown hair is perhaps one of her defining features. She has it in several different hairstyles, but more often than not she just leaves it down. She has also dyed it darker or lighter a few times, but it has always remained some shade of brown.
Height: Isa is around 5'6, about an average height for a teenage girl.
Body Type: She has more of a lollipop body shape, a bit top heavy and long legs with a slight waist. Her body is quite proportionate and she doesn't lean towards skinny or big. Isabella doesn't work out much either, but she eats healthy. At 127 lbs, she's smack dab in the middle of the weight scale.
Skin Color: Her skin is a tan, butterscotch bronze color. Isabella goes out in the sun quite often, but she only gets either a little darker or a little lighter during the seasons. She tans rather than burns.
God Parent: Isabella's father is Gelos, the god of laughter.
Mortal Parent: Cassarah Odette Mallory is Isabella's biological mother. Cassarah was intended to mean "what will be, will be" and Odette was the name of main character in Swan Lake. The only child of Xiu Lam, a half English half Chinese socialite, and Osric Sinclair, a Guyanese psychologist, Cassarah had been born into a stellar social standing. The reason she didn't end up a yuppie as well? Despite her parents' good looks, she wasn't traditionally pretty. She recieved quite a bit of scorn from her mother's upper class friends and from her peers at school. But, Cassarah had a bubbly happy personality and a sharp mind that she felt made up for everything. Right after high school, she blossomed and turned out to be really hot, which attracted the attention of Gelos. Cassarah was pregnant with Isabella at only 19. She originally planned to raise the child herself, but due to her young age and the encouragment of her parents, gave up her child for adoption.
Country of Origin: Isa was born in The Bronx, New York, United States. Her mother was of English, Chinese, and Guyanese descent, while Gelos was obviously Greek.
Pets: N/A. Her family didn't have the time or money to keep a pet.
Talents: Isabella developed an affinity for music, specfically a talent for DJ'ing, due to her adoptive father's occupation as a radio DJ. She liked how certain songs could instantly brighten up a person's day. She also has a knack for picking up languages. Outside of school, she has a basic understanding of several languages other than English and Greek, including Dutch and Swedish. It came in handy a few times. More on the demigod side of things, Isabella has some good street fighting skills and won't hesitate to hurt someone if they cause harm to her or anyone she cares about.
Flaws: Predominantly clumsy, Isabella is always dropping things or tripping or starting a chain reaction of minor accidents to happen. One time, she tripped and attempted to hold onto her brother to stop from falling but ended up pulling his pants down, so he tried to run but ended up running into his mother who dropped the pie she was baking. Literally sitcom level stuff. Granted, it was only once, but it was still completely ridiculous.
Isabella is pretty stubborn. Once she has her mind set on something, she will not back down, even if she realizes she was wrong. Everything she does is a commitment, and she will stick with it for as long as she has to. Despite that, Isabella is a perfectionist, and she will try her very hardest to get everything done as it should be. Unfortunately, this is quite difficult for her to achieve due to her other flaws.
Weapon**: Besides her fists, Isabella had equipped herself with a 30cm celestial bronze xiphos upon arriving at camp. If she was going to stab someone, it would have to be as up close and personal as it would be if she were using her hands. Plus, the xiphos was used by Ancient Greeks, so she was kind of following in the footsteps of her family, right?
Powers(must relate to god parent; optional): Isabella has no powers. Her dad is the god of laughter. What would she even be able to do? Make someone laugh so hard they choke to death? Wait, that's not a bad idea.
Life Before CHB*: Isabella was dropped off at an orphanage a day after she left the hospital, with only the set of clothes she was wearing and the stroller she was in. To her luck, she only had to stay there a year before being adopted by Lyndon Blake and Camilla Warren, a couple in their late twenties. They already had a 2 year old boy they conceived named Graham, and when they wanted another child decided to adopt so there would be one happier child. When Isabella was five, Lyndon and Camilla finally married, and had another little girl named Sophie.
Isa was raised knowing that she was adopted. It was kind of obvious, too. She didn't exactly look like her family. However, no one in her family minded, except her younger sister. Sohpie was quite snooty and was repulsed by her adopted sister. It made Sophie angry when her friends would come over and say "Who's that? Have you been hanging out with older kids?" or "Hey, I didn't know Graham had a girlfriend!" Although she never revealed it and nobody noticed, Sophie would try her very hardest to not have to stand close to Isabella. Unlike most people at CHB, Isabella had mostly a happy family. They didn't have very much money, and they were always scraping their pockets for anything that could help them pay the last bill. They lived in a tiny cramped apartment with exposed piping and stained carpet floors, but it was hers and that family was hers and that was more than enough.
However, when Isabella was six, Cassarah came back into her life. Cassarah deeply regretted her decision to give up her baby and wanted to find her again. When she found out that Kylie had been adopted and had her name changed, Cassarah went on a hunt to find her kid. When she stumbled upon Lyndon and Camilla, she begged to have her kid back. The couple was confused by this and refused; she had given up her child anonymously, and thus all rights and responsibilities were transferred to them. Cassarah didn't give up, however, and moved into an apartment as close to their house as possible, keeping a watchful eye over the family.
The day of her 14th birthday, Isabella was kidnapped. By Cassaarah. She drugged the girl and drove out to Hartford, Connecticut. When Isabella woke up, she started flailing around and screaming, but Cassarah calmed her down and explained how she was Isa's biological mother and about her biological father as well. Isabella could see how Cassarah was her mother- they looked a lot alike, but she believed her mother was insane when she started talking about gods and everything. Also for the fact that she was drugged and kidnapped. That is, until five minutes later when a giant monster climbed through the trees surrounding the two.
Quickly, Cassarah scribbled down an address and handed it to Isabella, as well as instructing her to stay inside the car. She ditched her keys inside the car and ran outside, stopping right in front of the monster. In the blink of an eye, Cassarah and the monster disappeared. Isabella was left alone in her mother's car, 14 years old and presumed missing on her birthday. She looked down at the address written on the paper and realized it was this camp Cassarah talked about. Isabella knew she would have to go there at some point, just to see if it was real. It was in New York, though, and if she went back this early they would accuse her of running away or something.
News of her disappearance never left New York, so after weeks of wandering around New York in her mother's car, an old Italian lady named Lucia Martelli took her in after recognizing she was only a kid. In the months that Isabella stayed with Lucia, she became like another mom. Lucia was widowed and child-less, living off the measly retirment funds she spent her life making. The woman was glad to have some help and company around the house. When Isabella turned 15, she took up a part time job as a waitress at a small cafe so she wasn't depleting Lucia's resources. They grew quite a bond, but Isabella still missed her family a lot. Her circumstances were too weird to be able to go back: she was kidnapped, over a year ago, but her mother disappeared with a monster? Nobody would believe that.
Her luck fell short when Lucia became ill in early July. Lucia died a few weeks later, leaving Isabella on her own again. Finally, after losing so many important people, she decided to take the trip to camp. Isabella spent a week lingering in Lucia's house, which would belong to her now, before packing up and leaving. When she entered New York, no one bat an eye. It had been almost two years, and the only people who remembered she was missing had hesitantly moved on. Isabella made it to CHB with nothing but her mother's car and the pieces of her life she had to pick up.
RP Example*: The missing person posters peeked out behind missing cat posters on street poles. Her face from two years prior, immortalized in black ink printed on computer paper and pixelated newscasts she googled after work. She was important, but not important enough to warrant checking outside the state. Now, Isabella was driving through New York in her mother's dinky old car, one that belonged to her now. The highway breezed past and she lost herself in wind that blew her hair to the empty passenger seat and the steady rumbling of cars around.
Isabella didn't want to stop in her hometown, but she did anyway. It was getting late, and she had only eaten the last piece of food in the fridge (a pizza) before setting out to New York earlier. Besides, people wouldn't notice her. She looked different now, older. Toughened but callow, a little more cautious and a lot less safe. Isabella drove off the exit and passed a few streets before she parked nearby a coffee shop. It was one that she was planning to visit with Graham before things happened. It made her heart ache, but it was the only place her family was not likely to visit. Graham would have been haunted by it, and no one else drank coffee.
Not long after, Isabella had settled down inside the small building with her drink and a slice of cake. A man approached her after she finished her dessert, but didn't say anything. He wasn't familiar, and Isabella grew uneasy the longer he stood in front of her. Minutes passed by, and as soon as she opened her mouth to say something the man cut her off. "You look so familiar! Are you famous or something?" Isabella shook her head too quickly, but he didn't notice. He rubbed his stubbly chin for a bit before abruptly getting up. "Hold on, give me a second..." He walked off to retrieve something from his table, and Isabella dashed out of the shop as soon as he averted his eyes. It was still too dangerous, people still recognized her, and she was wrong to have thought otherwise. Normally this wouldn't bother her, but this time the stakes were too high. It wasn't even two years yet, her face was still fresh in people's minds.
As Isabella slipped into her car and drove away hurriedly, she didn't realize she had left behind the paper with the address to one Delphi Strawberry Service in Long Island.
