## Description

### Personality

Isadora was the previous Captain Commander of Division Three and was a highly respected and admired peacekeeper known for her hard-working, calm and kind attuite with a witty sense of humor. She was very confident and skilled at her work in battle and loved a good challenge.

She was also one of the few people who didn't have an issues or bad blood with Daimon.

### Appearance

Her daughter Helaena is the spitting image of her mother, Isadora had long silver-gold hair that she would style in intricate braids, a straight nose, thin lips and doll-like eyes with long eyelashes which was considered one of her best features. The only difference from her youngest is that Helaena has green eyes whereas Isadora had soft lilac eyes.

## Etymology

* Isadora is the feminine variant of Isidore which is from the Greek name *Ἰσίδωρος (Isidoros)* meaning "gift of Isis", derived from the name of the Egyptian goddess Isis combined with Greek *δῶρον (doron)* meaning "gift". A famous bearer was the American dancer Isadora Duncan (1877-1927).
* Akelarre, a common etymology proposed is that meaning meadow (*larre*) of the male goat (*aker* "buck, billy goat"). The Spanish Inquisition accused people of worshipping a black goat, related to the worship of Satan. An alternative explanation could be that it originally was *alkelarre*, *alka* being a local name for the herb Dactylis hispanica. In this case, the first etymology would have been a manipulation of the Inquisition, the fact being that the Basques did not know during the 1609-1612 persecution period or later what the "*akelarre*" referred to by the inquisitors meant. The word "*aquelarre*" is first attested in 1609 in a Spanish-language inquisitorial briefing, as synonym to *junta diabólica*, meaning 'diabolic assembly'. Basque terms, transcribed into Spanish texts often by monolingual Spanish-language copyists, were fraught with mistakes.

## Trivia

* Isadora was the youngest CC ever elected being only eighteen when she began the job.
* She was also considered one of the greatest prodigies ever in the Union.
* She was the first rider of Inola, an older she-dragon that was placed in her cradle as a baby and then hatched. Her own daughter Helaena would end up claiming her several years later.
