The following page contains **spoilers** for *Raziel's Daughter.*

**Isabelle "Izzy" Sophia Salvatore (neé Lightwood)** is a main character of *Raziel's Daughter.*

She was born a shadowhunter, and is the current Head of the New York Institute.

Izzy is best friends with her sisters-in-law, Emilia Mikaelson-Salvatore and Clary Fray, her older brothers, Alec Lightwood and Jace Herondale, and her husband, Stefan Salvatore. She is also close friends with Kol Mikaelson, Rebekah Mikaelson, and Magnus Bane.

## **Background**

Isabelle was born in 1997 in Idris. She is the middle child and only daughter of Maryse and Robert Lightwood, and the sister of three brothers: the eldest, Alec, the youngest, Max, and Jace Herondale, who was taken in by the family when they were young.

Raised in the New York Institute, Isabelle trained side-by-side with her older brothers and forged a close bond with them. She was sure about not wanting a *parabatai* since she was young, until she met Emilia.

## **Personality**

Isabelle is compassionate, warm, charming, and generally welcoming to new friends. Despite her beauty and kick-ass combat skills, Isabelle is seen to be the moral compass that keeps her brothers Alec and Jace in check in tense situations, though she is also seen to have a bit of a defiant side. Isabelle is not afraid to speak her mind and isn't afraid to break rules, a trait she shares with her adoptive brother Jace. She is able to stand up to higher ranked individuals for what she believes in and fights and argues to get the point across whenever necessary.

She is a skilled seductress who can seduce any man, both shadowhunter and downworlder, into either complying with demands or maintaining confidential information. She enchants pretty much anyone who meets her. She is incredibly comfortable with her body; in the past, she wore revealing outfits with no qualms—a way of standing up to her mother's strict rules. During that time, she often acted as the bait or distraction to lure demons.

Isabelle is very supportive, protective, and loving towards her brothers, urging them to do what makes them happy. Isabelle often seeks to comfort those around her, although she also has a strict and disciplinarian side, particularly when it comes to training. She worries about her family a lot, and had a hard time accepting that Max was ready for his first real mission after training him for it.

She is fiercely loyal to her family and loved ones, willing to let go of her own happiness if it will make things better for them. Despite this, she will fight for what she believes is right even if the odds go against her, and would only cede and make the necessary sacrifice or adjustments when she sees the sense in it and how it would contribute to the greater good.

## **Physical Appearance**

Izzy is a very beautiful and attractive young woman with an oval-shaped face, olive skin tone, roundish-almond dark brown eyes, and long, luscious black hair. She has a large deflect rune across her right collarbone, and a beauty mark above her left upper lip. Her height is 5'5", and she has an hourglass physique.

Fashion-wise, Izzy often wears revealing, form-fitting clothes, usually in darker colors. She typically wears her hair down, but occasionally experiments with different hairstyles.

Isabelle also wears the Lightwood family heirloom necklace.

## **Powers & Abilities**

She possesses all the powers and abilities of a shadowhunter.

Isabelle is able to call on more strength during battle and use special runes and magic due to her parabatai bond with Emilia Mikaelson-Salvatore. She is highly skilled in armed and unarmed combat, as well as her weapon of choice: the whip.

She is also skilled in the study of forensic pathology and is referred to by Jace and Alec as the best in New York.

## **Weaknesses**
