Description///
Isa is a medium sized snailcat with no shell. She never wanted one and could care less about all y’all’s fancy mobile homes, okay. She sports two, somewhat short eyestalks that are slightly more bulbous towards the ends. Her ears are an average size in proportion to her head and are usually in a relaxed, slightly flopped down position (though it’s usually from being displeased rather than lax). Her white eyebrows are almost always knit together in the near-constant scowl she keeps on her face. This is contrasted by the cute, and overly large, single cheek “fluffs” on either side of her face. They almost look like chubby cheeks, but are in fact the signature snailcat cheek nubs! She absolutely hates them; don’t mention them. She’s generally more snail than cat, with a lightly moist, rubbery texture for skin instead of fur. Even the “fluffs” on her chest are actually solid, floppy, rubbery things upon close inspection (please do NOT inspect them closely, thank you). Her arms are quite average- no flab, but not a bit of muscle either. She’s a bit on the skinny side, with a generally even width from her torso all the way down to her end, which tapers off into a thin “tail” right at the white marking on her bum. Her coat is a gradient of fuschia and deep pink, with a flash of orange on her “tail” and between her eyes. She has a warm, peachy colored strip on her underside, starting at her chest “fluffs.” There is a light mottled pattern over her entire body, save for the white markings and orange bits on her face/chest fluffs, which instead have a feathered look to them. She is never seen without her purple mana crystal collar. Being a slugcat, Isa has no magic of her own and relies on it heavily. |

Backstory///
Isa grew up in a pretty average small town. She had two parents that were overall pretty decent and treated her well. Her mother especially was always supportive of her and encouraging of whatever endeavors she was pursuing at the time. For whatever reason, Isa took this for granted to the point of finding her mother grating. She has a much older brother who moved out the moment he was able to, so she didn’t get to know him very well. Despite not really having a negative relationship with any of her family, she’s not close with them and makes no effort to keep in contact with any of them. Throughout school, Isa generally got pretty poor marks in class. This was due to her refusing to put any effort into things unless they were of interest to her… And even if they did, she would still bomb the subject if something she deemed superfluous was required of her (like writing overly long essays with hyper specific formatting/citing/ect, omg WHY?). She ended up being quite intelligent and well learned, but you absolutely would not think it looking at the letters on her report card. Isa didn’t care. She knew her worth. As a young child, Isa was a outspoken and brazen, sometimes getting into (generally harmless) fights with others because of her boisterous mouth. She was just the right balance of outgoing and fighty to strike a balance that somehow kept most other kiddies in her good graces. As she got older, she very slowly shifted to being more reserved outwardly, but her fiery heart still burned on the inside. She just didn’t feel as much of a need to interact with other, lesser people. If people made an effort to be in her presence, they would be rewarded with getting to see her still confident, self-important attitude. Often times, she made friends with people that admired how brazen and uncouth she was, so they just ignored (or made excuses for) her numerous, more loathsome qualities. However, eventually, she would always hit a breaking point with friends where they had to burn bridges with her due to her mistreatment of them. Isa was always a very goal-driven person that put herself first. She did like being around others, especially when they admired and praised her, but she never learned how to treat people with genuine kindness or affection. In the rare case that she truly valued a person for their friendship, she couldn’t help but be an utter brick wall when it came to dealing with their emotions. Mainly, she was always hurtfully dismissive when people opened up to her. She wouldn’t change any aspect of herself for anybody, and if that was a problem, too bad. Despite this attitude, Isa has been genuinely heartbroken over a select few people she’s pushed away. She DOES care and feel softness for others (however rarely), but her hubris is simply too strong for even love to conquer. Isa’s primary drive, beyond being a vainglorious megalomaniac, is to seek out magical power. She was born without a shell to a long line of nonmagical snailcats. The last schoolyard scuffle she got into involved a snailcat with a legendary shell, and thus the magical upper hand. It was… unfair. This was the first fight she definitively lost and it incensed her. She was cocky and brushed it off at the time, but it was internally the inciting incident that supplanted any other interests she might have had before then. She was going to get magic. And she wasn’t going to play by the rules. As an adult, Isa has held basically the same qualities from her youth, although she becomes more and more withdrawn from others as she ages. She has traveled around in her pursuit of magical power, leading her far from her birthplace and any burned bridges therein. She’s spent the last few years in the general area of Torchlily and Arbutus, the latter of which she met a rare friend that she is still in favor with, Photon. Her quest for power had frustratingly progressed at a snail’s pace until recently. Using the amplifying crystal on her collar and a magical compass, Isa discovered a naturally occurring magical “leak” inside of a massive seboia tree in a remote, uninhabited forest. She was swift in establishing a base in its root structure and has been living there ever since, studying and exploiting the generous magic well for her own purposes.  |
