Appearance

• Red-glowing mechanical prosthetic eye, accompanied by a faint mechanical whir.
• Mechanical prosthetics are unaffected by Chen Fan's Small EMP. 49 74

Personality

Isa begins as a devout believer whose faith is directed toward the Goddess rather than unquestioning loyalty to the Church. When Chen Fan and Gao Yuan condemn the Church's practices without denying the Goddess, she concludes that they may be carrying out the Goddess's will. This reasoning leads her to assist them despite the personal danger. 49

She is anxious and conflicted when acting against the Church, but repeatedly proves courageous under pressure. Isa can follow Chen Fan's plans with little explanation, use her clerical identity convincingly, and adapt when surveillance or hostile forces threaten her. 45 74 98 99
