ISOLDE
GENERAL
Name: Isolde
Age: Thirty Nine
Birth Season: Summer
Occupation: Witch Doctor
Citizen Status: Witch Doctor
PHYSICAL
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 178 lbs
Body Description: Isolde is an exceptionally striking woman. While has no interest in being considered beautiful, she wields her arresting appearance to intimidate or impress outsiders. With her statuesque build, she stands out even among her Cambrian sisters as tall and imposing. Her long strawberry-blonde hair usually hangs loose in curls down to her waist. She often wears ornamental jewelry and clothing, not out of vanity but out of a respect for tradition. Everything she wears has significance, as she sees herself as a guardian of Cambria’s history and culture .Her piercing blue-grey eyes are ever observant, and can be felt from all the way across the room.
PERSONAL
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Reputation: Isolde lives her whole life in the service of Cambrian tradition. Her mother was a great Cambrian warrior, as was her grandmother and her mother before her. All made great sacrifices to keep Cambria free, and Isolde believes it is her responsibility to carry that legacy and pass it on to her daughters. The thing she values most in this world is the freedom of her people. If given the choice she would rather die than see her sisters yolked by societies of men, a position which she has made clear time and time again. Zealot is the best word to describe her belief in Cambria and its traditions.
Isolde never acts out of haste. She approaches every task or challenge with careful thought and discipline, analyzing every angle before making a decision or judgement. Once she has made up her mind, there is little one can do to change it. While her enigmatic nature can make her seem unapproachable, she is highly regarded for her wisdom and insight.
A fierce advocate for total independence, Isolde does not trust outsiders, and believes any foreign influence to be a danger to Cambria’s autonomy. She sees the male species as nothing but a means to reproduce; lesser beings - governed by their own hubris rather than anything meaningful and rational. While they serve their purpose, they should never be trusted. In service of her people, she has traveled to Coheed so that she may bear children, but has taken no pleasure in it. Thankfully, she has been blessed with only daughters and has not had to surrender any sons to the Coheedsmen.
While not the doting and affectionate kind of mother, Isolde takes great care with her children and is an exceptional parent. She is patient and gentle, though firm in her expectations and discipline. Isolde has no doubt that her daughters will be great Cambrian warriors like those who came before them. Though her love for her children and for her people is fierce, Isolde has remained closed off to any other kind of romantic connection. Even among her sisters, Isolde is always one degree separated from everyone else, observing and analyzing so that she can best serve her people without clouded judgement.
Combat Experience: Though Isolde's role is not that of a warrior, she is still trained to be a formidable fighter as is every other Cambrian. Her mother, Bridgit, was a skilled warrior who saw to it that Isolde was given every opportunity to excel. Her natural dexterity inclines her towards ranged weapons rather than melee-style combat. She is a skilled horsewoman and hunter, and can fire a bow with great accuracy from atop a galloping horse. While she keeps up with her training, combat is no longer her primary concern.[/ul]

HISTORY
Family: Daughters: Halfrida (21), Zemirah (18), Elsha (15), Yvella (13), Silvie (11) | Mother: Bridgit (deceased)
Tale:
Isolde is the only daughter of Bridgit - a revered Cambrian warrior. Try as she might, Bridgit was unable to bear any more children after the birth of her daughter. So, the whole legacy of her foremothers fell on Isolde’s shoulders. Though she was a stern mother, Bridgit poured her heart and soul into ensuring Isolde would grow up to be every bit the proud, dignified Cambrian that she was. The girl worshiped the ground her mother walked on, and did everything she could to live up to her expectations. From an early age, it became clear Isolde had a disposition different from that of her peers. She was quiet in social settings, yet when she spoke it was with great insight. No detail seemed to miss the child’s observation. An avid learner with a curious mind, Isolde soon attracted the attention of the current witch doctor, who took the child in as her protégé. She learned all the ins and outs of Cambrian history and tradition, rising as the natural heir to the position of Witch Doctor once the former one passed away.
She was thirteen when she had her first blood. Isolde got her strength tattoos not long after, her mother proudly standing with her through it all. Though she resented Coheed and had no interest in lying with a man, Isolde saw bearing children as her duty to her people. Isolde went to Coheed for the first time when she was eighteen, and continued to do so in the years after - though she took no pleasure in it. Isolde has been blessed only with daughters, which she takes as a sign from the universe that she must have a role to play in building a stronger Cambria.
Her mother was killed during the Coheed invasion, something which only deepened her disdain for Coheed and the male sex as a whole. She has vowed to never bed a man again, though it means she will bear no more daughters for her kingdom.
Though Isolde and Kore have had their differences over the years, they have formed a bond of mutual respect that surpasses them. Isolde has disagreed with some of Kore’s decisions, namely her decision to link arms with Nevermere, and has made no secret of her opinions. However her dedicated service to her Chieftess has kept Isolde in line. However as things continue to change, Isolde is becoming less and less sure that loyalty to Kore is the best way to protect Cambria - particularly as foreigners play a larger and larger role in Cambrian affairs.
