FATHER: Lord Ulric
MOTHER: Lady Eleanor
OTHERS: A sister, Adelaide, and a brother, Benedict
HISTORY:
-- Her father and mother hardly loved each other. Arranged marriages were not uncommon. Especially for people of their rank and wealth. Isolde had often felt confined by the petticoats and formalities of her parents noble birth. She would constantly run away into the village to play with the other children who knew how to have fun and weren't afraid to get a little muddy. Of course this was frowned upon and Isolde was kept under close watch. Her siblings were often left to play among themselves. Which wasn't a problem, they had always been close.
-- Isolde was the eldest by a couple years. Her father had wanted a boy and her mother had wanted another girl. Luckily her sister was born next, and then Benedict within the next two years. When she reached the age that girls should be finding a suitable match, Isolde was off running through the countryside on horseback, trying to forget about everything. She didn't want to marry and have children just yet. She was still a child herself!
-- Without warning, her father whisked her away to court where he paraded her around like a prized horse. This didn't settle well with Isolde, but she knew if she dared to open her mouth or set one toe out of line her father would marry her off to the most horrid of men. While at court, however, Isolde was seduced by a handsome young lord who had the worst of intentions but spoke the sweetest of words. Oh the things he promised young, naive Isolde.
-- And the silly girl believed him. Before long she found out she was with child and taken from court. The lord never found out, and it wouldn't have made any difference if he had. Isolde mourned for days. She stayed home, out of sight and out of mind. Surely people had a notion of what had happened to the blonde beauty. Everyone talked and Isolde was shunned from court and shunned by her mother and friends. Then tragedy struck. Isolde miscarried.
-- Surely this would be a grand thing. Her redemption! But she had no choice but to run away, to make a new life for herself. Isolde couldn't stand bringing shame upon her family. No one would want her now, knowing she was no longer pure. So within the night she took one of her father's best horses and some of her belongings and left. She rode for days until she came upon the neighboring kingdom of Solraya. There she made a new life for herself, a re birthing in a way.
-- She cast away her noble background and became another peasant lost in the crowd. It wasn't long before she started up a small seamstress business, working on garments night and day. This got her some money and a steady stream of work. Ladies should be more careful with such expensive gowns. Isolde kept her lineage a secret. That was one thing she dared not open her mouth about.
