Background: Background Extended (WIP)
Raised by her human father for the first 6 years of her life, she lived happily. Soon after, he left on a trip on the sea for goals to trade, seeking to expand his empire and find new business.
During his voyage, Isabel's caring Grand-father passed away of illness, after spending the last year of his life in great pain, as age had swept over him quickly. This lead to her Great-Aunt raising Isabel for the rest of her child-hood.
Isabel was kept segregated from the family and all visitors, and lived a life of isolation. Her only companion was the daughter of her Great-Aunt, Amelia. Amelia was her confidant and they'd chide and speak of lady-like things in their growing together.
Isabel, whether due to frustrations of being kept confined, or merely out of monstrous instinct, took a liking to swinging around her father's blade, practicing often in the yard where a large portion of her life had been spent.
Due to the Linley Manor being in Isabel's possession, as it was her father's asset, she often would have teachers in sword play, or more often than not, men whom praised Umberlee or Helm.
The Linley family often had Helmites whom were dedicated swordsmen and protectorates. Though Isabel, like most of the common folk, gave praise to all the God's, to not face their wrath. Though at most times, she would give praise to Umberlee, hoping for her father's safe return.
Eventually Isabel left home in search for a future earned of her own accord. She decided to join a monastery of Helm, to continue her training in weaponry. Isabel, being raised by a traditionally Helmite family, had a strong sense of justice, and felt it was the correct path and tradition to follow, regardless of her mixed blood.
She now is a Squire, though the knight she served, recently died of fever. She took it upon herself to continue her journey to find a new Knight to serve.
Goals:
Isabel's true goal is to reach a high status to bring great esteem to her name, and be welcomed by the majority. She searches for respect, though not from the average and accepting adventurer. But, from the common folk, and nobles. She wishes to earn her way into society, through valor, glory, and victory. This healthy desire for acceptance and her faith in helm, are her guidance and ultimate goal.
