«««SKILL SET»»»

Powers:
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie - Isabel is a walking and living corpse. The main thing this means, is that she regenerates. She has a healing factor that takes care of most injuries. Anything short of decapitation takes at most 3 minutes to heal. If something is removed from her body, it can take from 1-3 hours to grow back depending on the size of the part that's removed. In addition to the regeneration, Isabel has no need to eat or breathe. In fact, trying can be harmful to her. She can not bleed out, either. She has no need for blood.

In your head, in your head - Using death magic, Isabel can drain people of their very life force by touch. It's subtle, and usually by the time it's noticed the victim is substantially weakened. If touches someone for a few seconds without letting go, they'll be tired and weaker. If she goes for a full minute and a half, they'd feel lightheaded and possibly pass out. If she holds them for five minutes, they will likely die unless they have an exceedingly strong will to live.

Skills:
Expert Acrobatics - Isabel is an extremely talented acrobat. She is able to jump insanely high, and do crazy parkour things. Some might even mistake her skill for a supernatural power. Give her a bit of time in an alley, and she could find herself on the roof of a building that's across the street.

Extremely talented actress, lovely singing voice, able to quote poets and famous works of literature from mere memory, she is great at painting and all forms of art really.
She is exceptionally smart for someone her age. A very high IQ.
She has played with a sword a few times, and has fought a few times with it. She's not very good at it.

Physical Weaknesses:
Weak - She has the strength of a malnourished 16 year old girl that does absolutely no weight training.

Necromancy Magic - Those familiar with evil magics in general could possibly take control of the spell animating her body. Or cancel it.

Mental Weaknesses:
Unstable - Isabel has gone through a lot of horrible things in her life. She is prone to random mood shifts or mental breakdowns.

Childish - Mentally, Isabel has the emotional capacity of someone very very young. At times, she can act as selfish as a toddler.

Equipment:
She carries a black sword sheathed on her back under her big hoodie. She also carries a standard 9MM pistol holstered at her hip.


«««CEREBRAL PROFILE»»»

Personality: Isabel is crazy. She has a wide range of emotions and tends to go from one to another rather quickly. She loves dancing and singing, and loves to make a play out of real life situations. She takes very few things seriously, but when she does take something serious it means a lot to her. When angry, she can be dangerously violent. She struggles feeling empathy, sighs of the abuse she's gone through.

Interests/Habits: She loves to read and write. She also likes manga and anime. Any form of media, pretty much.


«««PERSONAL BACKGROUND»»»

Family Members:

• Jack Harkness:
  A fearsome father to Verina, he never showed love in any capacity, and often left the kids on their own for weeks at a time.
  
  
• Verina Harkness:
  Isabel's cold and hard to love mother. Her mother was almost completely oblivious to everything around her, and often forgot she had kids.
  
  
• Simon Harkness:
  Isabel's younger brother. He is thought to be pure evil. People think right, and nobody knew this better than Isabel herself. This little kid tortured her when they were children. Stole her food, and often scratched and bit her.
  

Place of Origin: Steel City
History: When Isabel was young, her parents considered their children burdens. Her father was rarely around, and when he was he was abusive and cold. Her mother was distant and apathetic. One day, her brother disappeared and Isabel never saw Simon again. She knew something was strange when neither of her parents made any effort to contact the police.

Then when she was out in the yard playing at the age of 8, a man walked back into her yard and took her.

The next time anyone saw her, she was a zombie. The time with her captor is rather mysterious.
