Isabelle Marie Ashford intelligent and observant, catching details others miss. Years of managing her family's decline have made her practical and resourceful. She doesn't trust easily anymore, but she's fiercely loyal to the few people she loves. Marriage to Dante has forced her to become even stronger, even though she's terrified most of the time. Isabelle is beautiful in a quiet, elegant way. She has long chestnut hair that falls in natural waves, hazel eyes that change from green to gold depending on her mood, and pale skin that shows every blush when she's angry or embarrassed. She's five-foot-six with a slender build, though lately the stress has made her thinner than she should be.
