Petite, and fair. As dragons were hatched and not born, when she chose her humanoid form, she realized aside from her eyes and hair coloring, there was nothing that really distinguished her from other Trithos. But Isela wanted something different, something that even in this form, would separate her from those not of her own kind and that of other Trithos women. Hidden away on the right side of her hip/lower back she placed a little mark.  A homage to her dragon form and her deep love of storms. It was small and slightly iridescent in color and reminded her of how the sunlight shimmering off a rain drop would.<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Trithos<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Information:</span></strong></div><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/>Isela is a genuinely giving, accepting and warm individual. She has the talent of being able to see all sides of any argument. She is intelligent, perceptive and peace-loving, and she hates conflict and will try to solve the problem or get away from it - and not likely to get emotionally involved in the conflict, but staying objective. She makes the perfect diplomat for that reason, offering a truly unbiased point of view. This is primarily because she has a tendency to be able to see the big picture, allowing her to offer compromises or put it in perspective to create the peace she loves.<br/><br/>More often than not, Isela tends to be the 'one in the middle', the others using her as a sounding board. She doesn't mind as it gives her a chance to bring both sides into an understanding. She often tries to inspires others with a kind of calm confidence. However, if the situation is particularly difficult, she is likely to gloss over important issues to try to get back to a peaceful world. This retraction into herself, this centering, can have a positive effect, making her capable of levelheadedness and seemingly in control in the face of extreme chaos - 'remaining calm under fire'.<br/><br/>On a more personal one on one level, Isela will become personally involved with the individual she is helping, looking for and trying to find an emotional connection to better help them, but tends to put aside what's best for herself, seeing 'wanting' or 'needing' as selfish. Self-love is conditional; Isela loves herself only when giving. She is very socially-oriented, and listens intently when others talk to her and she will focus her attention on an individual, often times making them feel like they are the only one around.<br/><br/>Isela tends to have a calming effect on any situation. Willing to step into a conflict just about anywhere to see what she can do. Likely to say things like, "You both want the same thing." "Let's all get along." Isela will be friendly to absolutely anyone. If that person's a problem or has one, she's likely get involved to find out what's causing this conflict, unlike the others who may be likely to back off and dismiss it. However, in her weaker moments, she may tune out when others bring up tough issues.<br/><br/>Isela is very supportive of others and will give compliments and terms of endearment very easily. Also, put downs are harsh to her. Not only will Isela not use them, but she will try to stop others from using them. She is genuinely caring and, because of this, she is very willing to make that verbal. Dialogue examples: "You did a great job." "You are awesome." "I love you." "If you ever need help, I'm here." Personal needs of safety and protecting the psyche have been put aside. She is more daring in reaching out to others and is very protective of those who are close to her and will defend them when necessary.<br/><br/>Isela's character flaws are based on the incorrect beliefs that personal fulfillment comes through giving to others. She tends to repress her own needs to do what she feels is the right thing: giving to others. And that, it's okay to put aside personal goals and priorities in order to have comfort. She avoids conflict and discomfort. Part of this stems from her own insecurities, and she calms her inner fear of being unloved by helping others. This does not mean she is a push over by any means. Everyone has their limits, and while she feels things deeply, and can be exceptionally kind, if and when she is pushed too far, one will find, she too has claws.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong><br/>Although Isela is the product of a healthy and happy youth, and even though she knew she was loved by her parents deeply, she desperately wanted to connect to her overly protective father, but this proved to be difficult as he was always somehow inaccessible. His attention was focused on pushing her brother Dak to be the best in everything he did. There never seemed to be an end to what was expected of her brother. So it was often Dak who drew the most amount of his attention and ire, leaving her, as the youngest of the two, isolated most of the time.<br/><br/>This left her identifying mostly with her mother, seeing being a little nurturer as a way to fit in to the family structure and earn love from her father. But it was never enough. For Isela, putting aside self-love has always been the way for her. She has always put the good of others above her own needs and, as such, has many unfulfilled dreams. But despite the longing to connect with her father, she and her brother are incredibly close. Sure they bicker and squabble as any siblings would, and often do, but none are more protective or loyal of one another than they are of each other. To get to one, often means, having to go through the other.<br/><br/>As an adult, Isela has always been calm and objective, able to meld into any situation. She is more physically involved with the world around her and has made a very diverse set of friends.<br/><br/>One such friend, is Raziel. Even from an early age the two were always together. Both being fun loving and playful, where he was more curious and spontaneous, she was more grounded and slightly more predictable. She was often the one to add a little structure and caution to their plans. Together, the two balanced one another perfectly. While she tended to be his conscious, he was responsible for freeing her spirit.<br/><br/>Being raised together, they did most everything together Raziel often being the one to take the lead. When he left the nest, so did she. When he first took flight, she hesitantly followed in his footsteps. But soon, she found herself loving the feel of the wind over her body as she soared through the clouds. Especially on stormy days. It is days like those that Isela appears to be the happiest. Often slipping out to experience the wind and rain up close and personal (In either dragon or humanoid forms). Singing and dancing in the rain? Yes! Ten times over yes!<br/><br/>Because of Raziel and the friendship she shared with him, she always felt safe and secure with him. This allowed Isela to embrace the transformation into her humanoid form with a bit more ease. She will never forget the first day she saw them. It had been one of those rare days when she and Raziel were out alone, flying, playing and splashing in the water, just frolicking and enjoying the warmth of the first days of spring. She heard 'them', even before they saw 'them' and encouraged Raziel that they needed to be cautious and to take cover.  Hiding two blue dragons in a field of green was a feat unto itself, but somehow they managed.<br/><br/>Isela watched two young Trithos' approach the water's edge and just as the two dragons had been doing moments earlier, the beautiful Elven girls had begun to do the same. Laughing and frolicking about with one another. Isela was mesmerized by their beauty and grace, and it was then that she had made her first transformation out of a longing to join them, molding the image of herself after them, with touches of her true self evident. Her eyes, the color of her dragon scales, the lightening tattoo, a homage to her innate abilities, and a tribute to her friend and other dragon kind. Though much more fair than her friends, her true nature is still a secret from them, but she hopes to one day share it with them. But over all, that day was a very magical day for her, and remains one of her fondest memories.<br/><br/>Among the others in the nest, there are very few that Isela could say she didn't like or get along with. While she has strong opinions for those of her kind, and is loyal to her own kind first, she will often seeks to find the best in others, embracing their flaws just as easily as she does their virtues.<br/><br/><strong>How she feels about others:</strong><br/>(These are just initial observations based upon bios. Subject to change with role-play and/or if both parties agree/plot/plan out any details.)<br/><br/>(*Note: I will work on this a little at a time as I have a chance to go through bios and such, but I wanted to get my bio up at the very least first.
