Picking up shortly after Nefi’s woken up after her Arrow Ordeal, but before Isanna’s told her what all happened that night, as it calls for some tea first:

I was tagged by @criticallybad to share floral associations for my OC and wanted to make a bouquet as she did, so here’s a bouquet to represent Isanna—white chrysanthemum [truth, loyal love], purple columbine [resolution], heliotrope [eternal love, devotion, turning to the sun], white heather [protection, wishes will come true], and laurel [glory and honor, victory and immortality].

Rules, tags, lines, and explanations under the cut. : )

A reprise of ascended Isanna and Noole’s adventures in Magnimar, this time featuring her wings:

It’s been a long time since I had something suitable to share… so long, in fact, that I’ve fallen in love with yet another niche gnome—picture me setting Noole on a shelf beside Billiver, Nireed, and Arnistolientar.

Some context: this takes place several years post-WotR in Isanna’s Shattered Star-to-tabletop!WotR worldstate, and her beloved Magnimar now has a monument to her, both out of pride for her ascension and accomplishments and as a way for her to give back to her home city. A longer snippet as a treat as it’s been a while! Isanna POV under the cut~

Upon realizing that his frantic scrambling had led him to Seerspring Garden, Noole was struck by a flash of desperate inspiration, and his bounding strides took on new purpose as he directed them toward the western edge of the park. The monument of the angel—archon? all the heavenly sorts were the same to him—whose company he had occasionally enjoyed in her mortal life was his goal and, if his gambit went according to plan, his salvation. Relief in the form of soft yellow and blue light washed over him as he darted between the young trees that marked the meditative space even as his pursuers’ footfalls sounded ever closer. Too busy fumbling for one of his throwing knives to spare the sculpture a glance, he quickly closed the distance to its marble base, turned around, and pressed his back against it, offering his far-too-eager audience what he hoped was a dashing smile as he brandished his rapier. It was as pretty and poetic a place to die as any, he decided, if it came to that. “Isanna,” he cried, hurling the knife at his closest assailant and cursing when it flew over the man’s shoulder, “if you can really hear me in there, I could use a little help!” The light from the monument shone more brightly golden, and when he glanced upward, he saw that the whole thing—at least, all of Isanna—was aglow with a radiant shimmer before the night became as bright as the noonday sun and he needed to shield his eyes.

I was tagged by @dirty-bosmer and @theoneandonlysemla to share what’s in my OC’s bag, and since I have an exact inventory for Isanna, I decided it would be fun to draw a little something really quick. :3 None of this is to scale—let’s say the bigger items hold more interest to her!

The Shattered Star party finally met some shriezyx, which Isanna had—rightfully, as a native Magnimarian—been paranoid and terrified about. She’d really been hoping they wouldn’t encounter any after getting so far into the dungeons without any sign of them, but no such luck! That fight was her first time casting flames of the faithful, and I think it was a very special moment for her—I flavor all her spells as prayers, and this one, well, wasn’t quite an intentional spell:

Isanna’s blood ran cold, and icy fear sent a shiver down her spine. She felt suddenly rooted to the spot, but even if she had been able to move, this wasn’t a fight from which she could flee: not one, but two shriezyx were guarding the shard they sought. Her grip on her scimitar tightened, and she took a slow, cleansing breath as she attempted to channel her fear into righteous resolve. Her heart was still pounding, however, and even as she called upon her goddess’s protection, an even more desperate prayer left her lips. “Sarenrae, Cleansing Light,” she whispered, bright eyes fixed on the spidery aberration that she hoped to end, “grant me the power to slay these abominations. I have never needed your holy fire more than I need it now. I call upon you from the depths of my soul, Dawnflower, please, hear my—” She stopped short when she noticed light emanating from the base of her scimitar’s blade; angling it slightly to inspect the flat of it, she drew in a breath when she saw that the source of the light was a rune in the shape of her goddess wreathed in the glory of the sun, then gasped when a moment later, the entire blade burst into brilliant, beautiful flame.

I found a cute set of Magnimar-themed rings while looking through a Pathfinder book, so naturally I started thinking about how to incorporate them into Isanna’s story, and naturally Billiver is involved. While he doesn’t consider them a permanent couple [whoops!], the little bonus against fear effects made them seem fitting for when the time comes for her to leave the city… and him:

I’ve been thinking about having Billiver and Isanna’s relationship actually be something different for him, something unusually lasting, so here’s a little bit of their reunion, fifteen years and an apotheosis with a different partner later:
