Monster Isabela
Trigger warning: allusions to choking with a vine and poisoning.
She is basically a gorgon, but instead of snakes in her hair she has vines. She can’t turn people into statues with her eyes either, but she can grow sharp/dangerous/violent plants to capture people. Her gaze can also cause one to become overcome with an intense fear, though it’s possible to become used to it. Her skin is much tougher to make it harder for her thorns to pierce her.
She isn’t as dangerous as her other family members as a monster, but she is fairly dangerous. You have to watch out for her plants and her hair vines, but she’s fairly easy to deal with.
During the cursed period, Mirabel had to confront her once or twice a week. With the help of Casita she was able to manage, but Mirabel became intimately familiar with being poisoned (many a times she was pricked and ended up becoming sick later on. Thankfully most of Isabel’s poisonous plants had to be indigested to actually kill someone).
Mirabel intimately hates thorn vines. She also hates anything around her neck. You can connect the dots.
Isabela will, very rarely, be out at the same time as Camilo. This will usually end up with them both fighting while Casita and Mirabel tries to corral them into their rooms. When this happens Camilo is usually too sick to escape and Isabela is agitated enough to sulk in her room. These are, to Mirabel’s pleasure, her favorite days.
After being cured, Isabela found it much harder to create “pretty” plants. On the other side of the spectrum, plants that are dangerous became much easier to create.
People also became much more scared of her, especially when they looked into her eyes. She isn’t sure whether she likes it or not.
After being cured, she rarely creates plants around the family. Especially if Mirabel is around.
Her relationship is very strained with Mirabel, and even though she’s trying to fix it, Mirabel is much colder to her nowadays.
