[color=crimson][b][u]Name[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Iseabal MacGilios[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Nickname[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Isabel: Born of Scottish ancestry, the MacGilios family took pride in their heritage and tried their hardest to keep their people's culture alive within them, even by use of their traditional names. Though it originally irritated her as a young girl, "Isabel" became the common name others would refer to her by, which she does little to attempt and correct anymore. Intriguingly enough, she still prefers to be called by her birth name, and signs all of her works as such, but she rarely takes much notice as to whether she is called by either.[/indent]

[indent]Female[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Crime[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=crimson]Triple Homicide[/color]: Murders of Tàmhas Macgilios (age 43), Anna Macgilios (age 36), and Una MacGilios (age 4), insanity plea denied, life sentence.[/list][/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Reputation[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Among the various factions throughout the colony, Isabel is held with varying degrees of respect and allure. As she heads the Muses, they frequently look upon her as a brilliant, practically prodigious artist, and many envy her exceptional talent in paint, poetry, theater, and music. Among the other factions, Isabel is seen as a sophisticated, radiant woman, who occasionally takes the spotlight for the immense appraisal she receives for her works, though very little else is known about her, as she is often reclusive inside of the theater. The Overseers themselves do not seem to mind Isabel's odd demeanor, but rather appreciate her eloquence, as she often treats them with a sort of deep respect, and would have the Muses that serve under her do the same.[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Height[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]5'4"[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Weight[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]8 Stone[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Elegant and charming, Isabel is frequently clad in extravagant gowns and colorful dresses, drawing inspiration from the era her title is named after. Frequently she will wear large, majestic hats atop her long, black hair, which she frequently ties together to keep it from getting in the way, and will don various pieces of boisterous jewelry, which had been 'retrieved' from London and the outsiders who live there. Isabel, in all of her madness, settles for nothing less than the most eclectic beauty.

Thin, pale, and sometimes sickly, Isabel does very little to take care of herself, and it shows. Almost always donning her mask, very few individuals will see that there are deep, dark bags under her icy blue eyes from countless sleepless nights, be that from her constantly working on whatever art project she has thought up, or from the nightmares that seem to have been occurring more and more frequently. If one were able to see the bare skin upon her back, there are noticeable gashes and scars left over from having been whipped and beaten by some of the Overseers from the few years she has been in the colony, fueling a deep resentment she has for them, though she masks her hatred quite well.[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Positive Traits[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=crimson]Simply Eclectic[/color]: Isabel's tastes span all across the board, be that from fashion to food; even her mood can seem jovial and loving one moment, then depressed and receded the next.
[*][color=crimson]Devoted[/color]: When Isabel sets her mind to something, that seems to be the only thing she will focus upon until she deems it truly finished.
[*][color=crimson]Well-Spoken[/color]: Diligent and courteous in conversation, Isabel often comes across as intelligent and kind, speaking only when spoken to, and rarely ever in a harsh tone.
[/list][/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Negative Traits[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=crimson]Potential Lunatic[/color]: After her imprisonment, Isabel has shown serious signs of a disconnection from reality, which has only become more apparent throughout the years. She hasn't lost all of her marbles just yet, but those who truly know her suspect it is only a matter of time before she goes entirely insane.
[*][color=crimson]Obsessive[/color]: Despite her dedication to whatever she may be working on seeming to be a good thing, it can often get in the way of more necessary, day-to-day activities, as Isabel will sometimes forget to eat, sleep, and even bathe so long as her project doesn't turn out absolutely [i]perfect[/i].
[*][color=crimson]Distrusting[/color]: Only a select few in the colony truly know who Isabel is, as she keeps mostly to herself and speaks little of what is on her mind. She prefers to keep it that way, as she doesn't believe a soul has any care for her, and wouldn't want to risk them taking advantage of her.
[/list][/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Personality Description[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]On the surface, Isabel appears to everyone she meets as a quaint, extravagant woman, often silent and reserved, though quite enjoyable to have in conversation. Her immensely distinguished wardrobe spans all variants of fashionable design, bringing out her eclectic tastes in dress, often donning vast, colorful gowns that sometimes even make her appear smaller inside of them, to other's humor. She doesn't seem to mind the attention it will bring her, and flaunts her status to allow her to express herself just so. With her passion and devotion that is easily seen in each of her works, it comes as no surprise to some that her dedication is probably one of the main deciding factors to her being appointed to Renaissance, as she is frequently thinking of new and innovative ideas to incorporate into each project that she lays her hands upon.

Unfortunately, what people see of her on the outside is not truly reflective of what is truly occurring within her mind. Most prominent in her thoughts is the fact that they don't always correlate with reality, with bursts of psychosis flooding her brain, which has only been occurring more and more frequently. Whether it be delusions, extreme disorganization, or even aural hallucinations, Isabel is fast approaching the treacherous line between sanity and lunacy. Her apparent kindness to strangers is thinly veiled by a fabric of distrust, not allowing anyone into her own life lest it absolutely cannot be helped. Her devotion to her work certainly leaves masterpieces for others to enjoy, but it also leaves behind any care for her physical body, leaving her self-starved, frail, and sleepless. It would take an outside force to recognize what she is doing to herself, and attempt to deter it from harming her further.[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Quirks[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*]Isabel has a peculiar, hyena-esque laugh that will come out when she finds something especially humorous.
[*]Though it isn't immediately apparent, if one were to pay close attention, Isabel's right eyelid hangs just slightly lower than the left.
[*]When particularly distressed, Isabel will unknowingly bite at one of her thumbnails.[/list][/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Specialties[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=crimson]Prodigy of the Arts[/color]: As she began to publicize her work, many Muses were simply blown away by how Isabel's paintings would perfectly capture raw emotion, how her scripts had an intricate depth of drama and humor, and that her brief attempts made with music had epic flourishes and swaying serenades. In fact, since she has been appointed as Renaissance, many Muses have drawn inspiration from Isabel's work, and have made great success in each of their endeavors.
[*][color=crimson]Master Conspirator[/color]: Isabel is particularly aware of the political situation occurring within the penal colony, and uses this and her own status to her advantage, being able to cover up any tracks that might be left behind.
[*][color=crimson]Delicate Hands[/color]: Her precision with the pen and brush is quite a force to be reckoned with, especially if the end of her brush is replaced with the sharp point of a blade.[/list][/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=crimson]Brief Psychosis Disorder[/color]: Though it only occurs on occasion, Isabel is susceptible to states of psychosis under certain conditions, and these events only seem to be occurring more frequently. Luckily, they haven't come entirely to light just yet, but soon enough it will be difficult for her to hide her mental condition.
[*][color=crimson]Sleep Deprived[/color]: Countless sleepless nights have left Isabel a bit delirious, as she will occasionally lose her train of thought or even become unconscious in serious cases.
[*][color=crimson]Dainty frame[/color]: Isabel's small frame, compounded with her difficulty eating and exercising, leaves her easily susceptible to any amount of physical trauma.[/list][/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Inventory[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*]A variety of different masks depending on the occasion, though she most often wears an elegant [url=http://orig06.deviantart.net/4f31/f/2011/185/0/4/049d95567ef78737f706c512e9941fad-d3kyb5u.jpg][color=crimson]crimson mask[/color][/url].
[*]A [url=http://img14.deviantart.net/3a25/i/2007/139/3/d/gothic_lace_fan_by_allyekhrah_stock.jpg][color=crimson]black lace fan[/color][/url] is always kept at hand, which acts as an additional symbol of her status.
[*]Silver [url=http://img04.deviantart.net/2df5/i/2012/141/a/3/hex_spike_with_abalone_inlay_by_licataknives-d50kkbz.jpg][color=crimson]stiletto[/color][/url] often hidden somewhere on her person, frequently kept in a boot.
[*]A red-flowered [url=http://orig10.deviantart.net/349f/f/2016/058/b/b/flower_brooch_by_egarimea-d9ta2jv.jpg][color=crimson]brooch[/color][/url] often pinned to the collar of her clothing.[/list][/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Fears[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*][color=crimson]Memories of the Dead[/color]: The soul of the ones she took still carry on in her dreams, especially with the memory of Una, her sister. Isabel dreads that she will never be rid of them, and believes she will be haunted until the day she dies.
[*][color=crimson]Critique[/color]: A slight scoff, a simple shrug, or anything that would dare attest imperfections in her work - Isabel cannot tolerate the thought of being sub-par, and persistently aims to ensure her work is loved by all.
[*][color=crimson]Loss of Marbles[/color]: Hidden deep within her mind, Isabel is still there, terrified of the maniac she is becoming. Some would say that she's too far gone to save - or, perhaps none are willing to try.[/list][/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Secret(s)[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Though she wouldn't admit it to anyone, Isabel sees her upcoming marriage as more than just a means of political gain. In fact, perhaps this will be her only opportunity to find someone who she could truly open up to, and even grow to care for.[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]Goal(s)[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Beginning with her marriage to Spartan Theodore Callahan, Isabel believes she will end the faction system that separates the citizens of Churchill, and ultimately bring a sense of union to the colony so that they may liberate themselves from Overseer rule, and begin anew. Though, if everything goes according to plan, she may pursue bigger, bolder dreams...[/indent]

[color=crimson][b][u]History[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Iseabal MacGilios was born at the closing days of Autumn in the year 2045, nearly a whole year after the cataclysmic eruption that shook the Earth. Spending the first few years of her life in Scotland with her parents, "Isabel", as she soon came to be called, led a relatively uneventful childhood, despite the gradual decline of well-being that was falling over the people of Earth. This all changed as she and her parents were among some of the last members of the great wave of humanity that flocked to the TRAPPIST-1 system at the end of the decade, as her parents had no great amount of income, and had to experience the beginning of havoc and chaos that was increasingly filling the remains of what was once a golden era of civilization.

Life on TRAPPIST-1d was fairly difficult for the MacGilios family, despite frequent Collective aid that was given out to some of the more impoverished members of society. Isabel paid little mind to all of this however, often wandering through her own little world that she had crafted inside of her head, making the most out of life, as well as she could. In the year 2059, however, Isabel's mother Anna gave birth to a second daughter, named Una. The affection that she had become so accustomed to was suddenly snatched away from Isabel, leaving her feeling abandoned and forgotten as her parents only paid mind to her new sister. The immense depression that Isabel fell into pulled her deep into her mind, waking up demons inside of her that she never knew existed.

Isabel hardly remembers what occurred that night in 2063, other than there was a great deal of crimson, as she recalls. According to the report, she had killed her father first - strangulation, then slit his throat, just to make sure he wouldn't wake up. Then came her mother, a similar fate. Then, finally, Una was fast asleep at the time, though she must have awoken as her face was covered with a pillow until she stopped flailing. Isabel doesn't remember any of this. Just the color crimson. Eerily enough, all of her paintings use various shades of red, [i]especially[/i] crimson.

Iseabal MacGilios was convicted of triple homicide on March 9th, 2064, two days short of what would be her sister's fifth birthday. Despite many attempts to alter the results of the trial under the insanity plea, Isabel was sentenced to life imprisonment within a penal colony back on Earth. Eventually arriving in the penal colony dubbed "[i]Churchill[/i]", Isabel was frequently treated poorly by a number of Overseers, one in particular who whipped her with a cruel flagellum after she had stepped out of line after they had arrived, leaving deep scars upon her back that are still visible, though she hides them as best as she can. Intriguingly, these same Overseers wore the very color upon their uniforms that Isabel had seen that fateful night.

As she grew accustomed to the culture of the colonists, she sought refuge among the Muses, who quickly became envious of her artistic capabilities, despite her having hardly any experience in the arts. One among them she had befriended upon the ship that had transported her to the colony, named Declan, who she quickly grew close to, and was the driving force behind her publishing her work. In the year 2067, Isabel felt bold enough to challenge for the position of Renaissance - after a bit of persuasion from Declan - and was surprised that she had been chosen due to the love toward what many deemed to be her best work, "[i]Intacta Caelo[/i]" - crimson skies over a darkened landscape of tattered, hopeful men, women, and children, which many prisoners figured to be a cry for freedom from Overseer oppression. Of course after her appointment, she felt that having Declan by her side was only justified as he had helped Isabel in getting where she was, and appointed him to be the Renaissance's right-hand.

Now comes yet another fateful day for Isabel, as she has agreed to marriage to the Spartan Theodore Callahan, leader of the Vanguard. This marriage will mark the end of a destructive past between the Muses and the Vanguard, forging an irrefutable alliance, and possibly challenging the very faction system itself. Though she sees the potential this could do for the colony, Isabel also sees a future of immense struggle and drastic measures, coupled with her own declining mental condition. She just hopes that, if she plays her cards right, she could very well be one of the faces of a new dawn for humanity.[/indent]
