Physical Appearance:
Isabelle is a small, slender girl with a mild muscular physique and budding curves. Her hair is long and wavy, falling all the way to her waist when she doesn't wear it up. She is naturally a dark brunette. Her eyes are a steel grey, an attribute which she resents as she considers it dull. Her complexion is pale, but is not pale enough that she appears sickly, and contrasts greatly with her dark hair and rosy cheeks. During her years at the circus, she preferred to wear male clothing in her spare time - a habit which was spurred on by Freckles - because she found dresses to be too restrictive to practice in and not warm enough in the winter season. After being rescued from the circus, wearing male clothes was no longer an option as it was taboo for a woman to wear pants at this time. Therefore, she resorted to dresses, and could often be seen in darker colours - such as navy or maroon. She rarely wears makeup or jewellery since she sees no particular reason to draw attention to herself, contradictory to how she lived in the circus.

Background:
Isabelle was the first child born to Edward and Sylvia Whitehall. She was an academically bright child and engaged in many creative hobbies, taking great interest in languages and music. She was doted upon by both her parents, but was not the ideal boy required to inherit the family's company. During her early childhood, her mother suffered an ectopic pregnancy, damaging her reproductive system and consequently losing the ability to conceive more children. Therefore, Isabelle was made the sole heir to her father's company and estate. Envious of his niece's fortune, her uncle Benjamin tried to convince her father to give the rights to his son, whom he claimed would be a better successor to the family business. Insulted by his proposition, Edward refused and abruptly cut his brother off.

For her eleventh birthday, her parents planned to take her to France, taking a ship from Dover. The trip from London to the White Cliffs was long and, persuaded by her uncle, they stopped overnight at Baron Kelvin's manor - the Baron being an associate of her uncle. What was meant to be a harmless overnight stay ended up to be a brutal bloodbath and Isabelle's parents were both slaughtered. Isabelle herself was injured in an escape attempt and the accident left her with severe memory loss. Her uncle had planned this whole scenario, intending for Isabelle to die along with her parents, leaving him with the rights to the company. Their deaths were brushed off as a tragic road accident in which the bodies were likely lost at sea, and no one questioned the rouse.
