Early Years
Quaint Beginnings
Isadora was born in Bulgaria to her two very proud, pureblooded wizarding parents. She was the third child of her parents, and the only girl so her parents spoiled her to a degree. Her brothers were also all fairly older than her, the youngest was eight years older, the middle was ten years older, and the oldest was ten years (needless to say, Isadora was a little mistake). Isadora never complained about dressing up, but they were a little disappointed when she didn’t display the excitement over it as much as her cousin, Desdemona Portacullis. As a child, her favorite toy was her faux Quidditch Broom that hovered a magnificent total of two feet off the ground. Despite this, her parents had already decided that Isadora was going to grow up to be a Healer, because at a young age she began to display signs that would mark her as a ‘genius’ or at least relatively smart.
Years Up Until Durmstrang
Her brothers were all very protective of her, even though she only saw them during the weekends because they were off at school most of the time. As soon as the eldest finished with school, he took time off to spend with Isadora, as he called her, and helped to prepare her for her schooling at Durmstrang. During her childhood, Isadora had a lot of exposure to boys because of her brothers and their friends always being around, and therefore never feels out of place with guys around. When her oldest brother got married, she was his flower girl and she was immensely happy for him.
Her second brother pursued quite a different life. He took a strong interest in the Dark Arts and Voldemort's cause and joined the Death Eaters. He also married, but it was an unhappy marriage that was arranged for him by his and the bride's parents.
When she was ten, her first brother's wife soon gave birth to her first child, named Minthe. Isadora went to see her whenever she could, and developed a good relationship with the child.
Life at Durmstrang
Years 1-3
Without the protection of her brothers, it was hard for Isadora to make a start at Durmstrang. People often found her to be a little too cold or serious, and stopped all attempts at friendship. That is, everyone except a particular boy named Blaire Falkiner. Blaire found the young Isadora intriguing because of her anti-social ways, and therefore pushed harder in getting to know her. After a while, Isadora tired of trying to push him away all of the time, and they became good friends, along with Blaire’s best friend, Miroslav Kurkinski.
Years 4-7
Without the protection of her brothers, it was hard for Isadora to make a start at Durmstrang. People often found her to be a little too cold or serious, and stopped all attempts at friendship. That is, everyone except a particular boy named Blaire Falkiner. Blaire found the young Isadora intriguing because of her anti-social ways, and therefore pushed harder in getting to know her. After a while, Isadora tired of trying to push him away all of the time, and they became good friends, along with Blaire’s best friend, Miroslav Kurkinski. Blaire took it on to himself to train Isadora, even though she wasn’t allowed on the Durmstrang Quidditch pitch because she wasn’t playing for any of their teams (they didn’t take women very seriously in Quidditch there anyways). He would train her after dark so that they could be alone. Although sometimes Miroslav would accompany them, most of the time their lessons were private. Blaire quickly began to see that Isadora was a fairly violent Quidditch player, and that although she would make a fair beater, her skills as a chaser were much more extraordinary. She had no qualms with knocking either Blaire or Miroslav off of their brooms in order to score a goal.
Throughout the years, Isadora developed a crush on Blaire, without realizing that Miroslav had similar feelings for her. Miroslav always felt as if he were left in the dust while Isadora, and the majority of the other girls at Durmstrang, ran off to pursue Blaire. He always felt that Blaire was unworthy of Isadora’s affections because Blaire tended to take them for granted.
Now
Isadora, achieved her goal of being a Quidditch Player (see Career as a Quidditch Player), but when she moved to the UK she lost a lot of contact with her family. Later, she found out that her second brother, who had three children, was wanted for the murder of his wife and that the children were staying with her parents.
Soon after she found this out, she recieved an owl from her oldest brother, telling her that his wife had died in an accident, and that he was unable to take care of Minthe because of his demanding government job. He asked if he could send her to Isadora until the girl was old enough to attend Durmstrang. Although Isadora also had a busy routine, she agreed to try to relieve some of her brother's stress.
Career as a Quidditch Player
After Isadora’s seventh year, she was referred to the Falmouth Falcons and bought for a fair amount of money. This was mainly due to the influence of Blaire, because his twin sister, Eden Falkiner, was already a team member. Her first year was fairly successful with them, as she fit right along with their motto and their uncompromising style of play. She mastered casual English fairly quickly, and so it wasn’t a big issue for her.
Right now, because they did not make it to the Finals, she is mostly doing promotional events like attending photo shoots, autograph signings, and the Halloween Masquerade at Hogwarts which is something she is getting paid for.
Current Plot Involvement
Isadora is currently at the Halloween Masquerade at Hogwarts which is an event thread, but currently not involved in a main plot. She is also involved in one other subplot.
