Meanwhile Isabeau has held onto her socialization skills, but she's lost all of her own drive at the beginning of the film, content to stay on Navarre's arm and follow him for as long as she can, unable to see he's driving them both to suicide. they've both adopted the unthinking traits of their animal forms; respectively, the single-mindedness of the lone wolf and the blind loyalty of a trained bird.
