Character Design: Ivan Mayne Species: Artic Fox Nationality: Canada Occupation: Forest Ranger Temporary Sword Knight Sword: Ice Isabel enters the story as a forest and lake ranger in Yellowknife making sure that the activities involving the Ice Road doesn't endanger the environment, and eventually gets tied up in the wild goose chase leading up to the Ice Sword. ...which to everyone's shock or surprise, chooses Isabel over Lan Tu! Keep in mind: The Swords chose their owners for reasons that might not be clear to their owners at the time, and even if they do know the reason, they might not be clear and forthcoming about it. The later is the case with Isabel, and it concerns a major plot twist: She's a double agent for Sigurd. Sigurd has kidnapped her parents and imprisoned them with a group of fire monkeys and pressed her with gathering the swords for him in exchange of his help in their release. However, the experiences with the group, even after it becomes apparent that there's a mole in the team, weigh heavily on her mind, and eventually she cracks and reveals the truth. What the team does with this information will prove to be very touching and surprising to Isabel and the viewer as they stage a rescue themselves, learning Sigurd's true nature in the process. Isabel is a very polite and well-mannered indivudal, which does appeal to many of the team members. However, it is appearant that she keeps most of what's about her very close to her chest and has everyone who knows her to wish that she'd open up. She also coesn't tolerate what she sees as stupidity in people too well, which does causes some catty moments between herself and Lan Tu. Ivan sent me this sketch that will really help her design, which especially makes a note about the streak in her hair and the cute luft of chest fur in the collar: |
