Biography
Born under the shadows of the remains of the statue ‘Christo Redentor’ in Rio de Janiero, Isabella was an original birth to two mutants that had remained studies themselves of the South American Governments. The birth of their daughter plunged the pair into desperation and hiding within the depths of the Brazilian jungles, aided by the help of resistance groups and religious sects that had been located in the regions.
As she grew, Isabella was brought up in the traditions of ‘New Faith’ that had been evolving in the region following the phage. Several of those that her family encountered during their period of hiding came to believe the child was some kind of Messiah like figure; compounded when at age 11 she performed her first ‘miracle’ by bringing a young man to health that had been ill for several months. The manifestation of her mutant powers during this time, a connection to dimensional energies led to a series of difficult times.
A lack of guidance and dreams saw Isabella facing a fractured decision in her teens in an internal struggle, one which she surrendered to the Light Dimensional pull rather than the Dark which had also staked a claim. The old books which she had been read as a child included Arthurian tales and the manifestation of the Light within her took the form of an image of the sword Caliburn. But the hunt was on and the forces of companies and governments were converging. Desperate, Isabella’s parents arranged to have her smuggled further north to where she might have a chance to evade those coming to capture her and adding her to the genomes.
The past year Isabella has been making her way through safe houses and churches towards the north, attempting to reach a rumored safe haven before she is captured and locked away. Unfortunately, her spirit is one which cannot turn a blind eye to those in need and the rumors of the Saint making her way to the north in migrant populations grows.
