Isla Caldwell

Background
Isla has always been a “people pleaser,” but it’s hard to please others when you can’t even please yourself. She grew up in a family of males and always felt like her father would have loved her more if she had been born a boy, but the truth was, he just didn’t know what to do with her. He was the one that always felt like he should be doing more for her, but could just never figure out how to be the right kind of father that a girl needed. She has also never been “the belle at the ball,” but then she has never really gotten the chance to be either. Growing up with just brothers, when Isla was the only girl, demanded that she had to be at least a little bit of a tomboy just to survive her own family. It’s hard to get to know the girly side of you when your mother abandons your family leaving you with a single father and five older brothers. And the fact that she is able to animate otherwise unliving things, well, that’s just damaging to her social life. She has never seen the grace or power in what she is, Isla has always resented it. She sees all of these other girls who turn into beautiful, wolves or the gorgeous female warriors who are the Valkyrie, she just wonders why she couldn’t have been like them and why she’s trapped with what she truly is.

Personality
Isla can hang with the boys, she actually prefers to, but she also wishes that she had more girl friends than she does, maybe they could teach her about and bring out more of the real female side to her. She lives to please people, do whatever she can to make them happy, but sometimes she wishes that she just didn’t care. Isla spends so much time trying to make sure others are content that she often forgets about her own happiness. She is also a seemingly popular girl but she rarely lets people know the real her.
