“Do not think that I have forgotten of your betrayal, Howe. Your hands are stained with the blood of my family, and I intend to uphold my promise.”

“And what promise is that?”

“That your demise will be met by my blade and mine alone.”

I’m extremely happy you took an interest in Isabelle anon! Hooray!! My OC Page is currently undergoing a revamp so there’s not much of anything there right now, and it’ll stay like that for a while. However, I’ll do my best to describe my darling Belle for you.

Isabelle belongs to an RP I’ve been developing/playing with Luiza (aka @scraphim )for some years now — and the story itself also stretches for years. To be more specific, three generations, each with its own characters and story arcs. Belle belongs to the Third and as of now last generation, being the daughter of my character Perseus Hyperion and @scraphim‘s Melisend Arthendäin. You can see more about Mel in Luiza’s oc page. Also kudos and credits to her because I totally based this answer’s layout on hers ♥

Her full name is Isabelle Carina Arthëndain Hyperion and she comes from quite a unique background: Melisend, her mother, is from the world where stories unfolds, you may call it the world of fairy tales if you wish, and her role was of the Black Swan/The Evil Queen’s daughter. Her father? Lord Perseus Hyperion, a Duke from an once proud family which, after a bloodthirsty tyrant and a madman, was struggling to clear their tainted name. He succeeded. Isabelle is their firstborn child and heiress, and hers is the difficult challenge to set the new standard for House Hyperion.

My first inspiration for her was that of a poisonous rose, taking from her parents’ associations with thorns and scorpions. She’s beautiful to the eye, meant to be looked from afar, because beneath the petals are dark thorns drenched with poison. And true to her inspiration, those are ideas Isabelle not only embraced but actively enforces. She’s poised, elegant and more often than not, cold. Aside from a few select people, Belle shows little empathy, and don’t expect a compassionate word or a comforting gesture from her, because you’re more likely to get the exact opposite. Her tongue is barbed and she revels in dry, pointed remarks; aiming at people’s weaknesses and what they want to hide is one of her favourite past times. It’s little wonder people call her Ice Queen and Bitch. She makes no excuses for using her intelligence and observation skills as she pleases.

Despite the disdain she holds for nearly everyone, to her circle of friends Isabelle is nothing but a caring and devoted friend, always looking out for them and putting herself on the line without expecting anything in return. Though often striving to keep her deals as clean as possible, in regards to her friends and family all bets are off, and the raging inferno hiding beneath the cold exterior comes to surface. Belle is a deeply passionate young woman, who feels the need to act out on her emotions — and this terrifies her to no end. Why? Because her grandfather and great-grandfather were also ruled by their emotions, and they were monsters. Still, this constant need to shut down her feelings has left her with a sense of emptiness, and nothing can quite fill it.

◇   fun facts:

↝ She and her sister are named after Fairy Tales, more specifically the Beauty and the Beast (Isabelle) and Vasilisa the Beautiful (Vasilisa)

↝ Is utterly terrified of rats. Yes, she’ll use her powers to obliterate every blasted rodent that comes her way.

↝ Adores licorice sweets, has stashes of them in her room and gods have mercy upon your soul if you try to take them. Well, except if you’re Lissa, then take as many as you wish.
