__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Izzie has almost black almond eyes and wavy, dark brown hair with a variety of ribbons, threads, and feathers braided into it. Her skin is naturally olive, with a permanent tan from spending her days on deck in the sun. She has high cheekbones and full lips, the upper one marked by a small scar from an incident involving a sewing needle when she was five. She's of average height and rather curvy (though that's more hips than chest). Her left ear is pierced twice, the right five times, and she's almost always wearing a variety of bangles and arm cuffs.

She has her fair share of scars, mostly small things from misadventures as a child or not being quite quick enough in a fight. She also bears a few small tattoos: the first is of a crescent moon cradling the sun on her left shoulder blade, the second is located on the small of her back, a sparrow (her favorite bird) soaring above a cresting wave, the last a traditional pirates' sigil on her right ankle, with a crossed pair of cutlasses instead on bones under the skull.

Personality
Isabeau is the youngest person ever to captain the Poison Storm, and she sure as hell didn't get there by being soft. Tough as nails and twice as shiny, she can be a bit of a hardass but always has the goodwill of her crew in mind. That said, pirates aren't exactly the most trustworthy bunch, so she's learned to always keep her guard up.

Magic/Abilities
Elemental Magic: She has some control over wind and water, so with a good deal of effort she can ensure her ship's safe passage to just about anywhere.

Weapons: Isabeau uses a cutlass and a dagger, rarely turning to the pistol always holstered at her hip. She happens to be a very good shot, she just prefers to use blades.

Relationships
Family:Her father Abe, whom she occasionally visits.

Crew:
Gar, her first mate and mentor, probably the only person besides her father that she genuinely trusts.

History
Izzie's father, Abraham, was the first mate of Poison Storm and her mother, Idunna, was a seamstress in a port city. They didn't see much of her father when she was growing up, but he always had a pretty trinket and a story when he did visit.

But then her mother got sick, and just wouldn't get better. Her father had been at sea for three months by the time she died, and Isabeau swore she would find him. At the age of eighteen, after several years as a dock hand, she managed to secure passage on a merchant ship she figured would make a good target for the Storm. It turned out she was right, and she was reunited with her father during a raid.

Heartbroken at the news of Idunna's death, Abe took his daughter onto the ship, promising that he would look after her. Which he did, teaching her the ins and outs of the ship while climbing higher on the chain of command until he eventually became captain. Then, when Izzie turned twenty-one, he decided to retire to Yoreiq, leaving the ship in her care.
