Isadora

* Profile
* Biography

**Isadora** is a Fixer of Section 6 of the  Zwei Association's Southern Branch. She is first heard in the introduction story of  Urban Myth, and is formally introduced during  Urban Legend, in Episode 1 of the Zwei Assocation.

## Appearance

Isadora has black hair tied back into twin pigtails. She wears the uniform of the Zwei Association, this being a pale collared shirt and a black tie, tucked into black pants secured with a silver belt, as well as black boots. Over all this, she wears a marine blue Zwei coat. In combat, she uses a black Zwei sword.

## Personality

Isadora tries to remain impassive and professional as an Associate Fixer, acting strictly by-the-book even to those she considers close friends. Nevertheless, she is highly reliable both in her work and to her friends, and will work as hard as possible within official capability to help them. Despite her seemingly harsh attitude, she is also easily flustered by her friends.

## Story

### Background

Isadora and San are close childhood friends, having grown up together in the Backstreets of District 21 together. At one point, the two faced a serious danger in the streets at night, and San attempted to protect Isadora with a tree branch despite being equally as frightened as her; this amused Isadora, and the memory stuck closely with her, though not the details of how they managed to survive.

Isadora and San became Fixers at the same time and even ended up being assigned to the same Office, where they met Julia, who was also a first-time Fixer assigned to the Office. The three quickly befriended each other, with Isadora even trusting Julia enough to tell her about San's cowardly past. They eventually left the Office and parted ways; Isadora and Julia joined the Zwei Association and ended up in Section 6 of its Southern Branch, while San created his own Office,  Streetlight Office, and became an affiliate of the Zwei. Isadora was assigned to office work in Section 6's headquarters, and has not seen field work for a length of time.

### Urban Myth

In the introduction of  Urban Myth, Isadora is heard being asked for updates on the  Distortion Phenomenon by her superior Walter. She replies that Zwei Section 1 and the  Hana Association have listed the Laundry of Dreams, Yesterday's Promise, and The Church of Gears as potential suspects. After she adds that the Library, only an Urban Myth at the time, is also being considered as a suspect, Walter scoffs at their superiors' seeming cluelessness and use of "random guesses."

### Zwei Association

In Episode 1 of the  Zwei Association, Isadora and Julia are seen meeting with San as he requests the Association's help in entering the Library and recovering his deceased subordinates' Books. Despite pleas from Julia to help him as a friend, Isadora first rebukes and reprimands him for breaking Association procedure before finally acquiescing, revealing that she was already laying the groundwork to help him through official means; collecting information on the Library to have the Hana Association raise its threat grade to  Urban Legend so that the Zwei can formally investigate it, which is a success. This leads both San and Julia to thank her profusely, which flusters her slightly. She then passes an Invitation from San along to several Zwei Crewmembers, who use it to enter the Library.

In Episode 2 of the  Zwei Association, Isadora addresses San and Julia, informing them that they are part of the Zwei search team which is set to enter the Library. She urges them to collect as much information (via Books) from the Library as possible despite the mission's main objective being to recover the  Books of Lulu and Mars. San then questions why the Zwei is organizing such a mission despite its purpose being peacekeeping; Isadora answers by asking San why he came to the Zwei if he knew that and why he did not ask his brother Bada for help. San refuses to speak of his brother and lets the matter drop, but Isadora decides to reveal the truth: the Zwei Association is investigating the Distortion Phenomenon to try and prevent further incidents like the Pianist, and they believe the Library may hold clues. After Julia notes that she has heard of related incidents and San indicates that he understands, Isadora concludes that the Library is still only one of the Zwei's suspects and thus there will not be any higher-graded Fixers helping investigate it for the time being. Afterwards, San and Julia prepare to leave for the mission and thank Isadora for her help, causing her to stutter and deflect what she did for friendship onto her work once more.

In Episode 3 of the  Zwei Association, Isadora is seen in her superior Walter's office, trying to convince him to have Zwei South Section 6 keep investigating the Library after San and Julia fail to return, detailing the Library's modus operandi and even claiming that it is connected to the Distortion Phenomenon based on the Zwei's inability to analyze it. Walter notes that it is rare for Isadora to make "baseless" claims, and hints that Isadora simply wants revenge on the Library for her friends' fates. He refuses her request, citing the many more urgent requests Section 6 already has to handle, and tells her to remember the Zwei's purpose. However, this changes after he finds an Invitation in his desk with the  Book of the Distortion on it, and he quickly reverses his decision, assembling a new team including himself and Isadora to enter the Library - the first field mission either of them have received in some time. Inside the Library, Walter is self-assured, commenting on their chance to elevate their careers, complete their mission, and satisfy Isadora's revenge all at the same time, but Isadora is hesitant and does not like the situation. When greeted by Angela, Walter goads her over her true nature as an AI, and Isadora tries to convince him that it is unwise to do so.

Ultimately, Isadora falls during the Reception and is turned into the  **Book of Isadora**, losing her chance to avenge her friends.

### Key Page story

Isadora’s Page
We almost got into serious danger one time. The two of us were hanging out until after dark, and ran into something nasty in a remote street. It happened when I was a little kid, so my memory of that is blurry… All I can remember is looking at San’s back, standing in front me holding a tree branch he hurriedly picked up. My heart was racing with fright, but looking at his shivering legs made me chuckle a little on the inside. I don’t really remember what happened after that, as I said.
