~Isabella ~Isabella~ Isabella~
Name Isabella Arshta[/color]
Age 14
Gender Female
Pokemorph Used to be...So no, not currently
Appearance
[Stern, Severe...Normal]
I wasn't like this. I didn't used to be...normal. I had the most adorable, useful tail with the ball at the tip, the large ears and abnormally large eyes that accentuated my style. But they're gone...because of them.
Isabella looks very, very mature for a fourteen year old. She stands at four feet six inches. Her hair is black, cut so the ends just barely pass by her shoulders, layered and scruffy looking. She normally keeps it down. Her eyes are sparkling blue, one of the few things that she's kept about her...other self. Her skin is slightly bronzed but not all that bad. Her form is that of one who has gone through some labor in life, with well-toned muscles on her legs and arms, and a flat stomach.
As for her clothes, Isabella keeps it simple but...let's face it, sexy. She wears tanktops that reach only to above her belly button, with jean jackets over it that are even shorter than the tank tops, reach just below her chest. Jeans- in capri and short styles- are her favored pants, and she always, always wears comfortable boots that she can run in. Always. And as for jewelry, Isabella wears bangles on her wrists and nothing else.
This is Isabella now.

Personality
[Stern, Severe,
Isabella has gone through a transformation over her short years living. When she was younger, she was much more quiet, confident and prudent, a very strong-willed and stubborn girl. But because of her altered appearance and her state as a nobody, a girl as normal as any other in this region, she has found herself bitter, sarcastic, even rude. She can't help it- she feels the loss of her individuality like the prick of a sharp, sharp thorn. Isabella is still a strong young girl, knowing what she wants and will not take no for an answer. And yes, some may think she is spoiled and a little brat, but surprisingly, she knows when she can't have something and when she can't.
That doesn't mean she's well liked. No, to get along with Isabella, you will have to have an amazing patience and a very, very kind heart. Isabella has a short, quick temper and althoug she doesn't yell, she will look down on you and back-sass you to her heart's content until you "learn your lesson". And while she is mostly fair, or at least strives to be, she can be somewhat harsh. Her tone now-a-days is either confident, powerful or bitter, or even a combination of all three. Her words are sharp and do sting, so yes, her bark is much, much worse than her bite- but this girl is a tomboy, and she will pound you to a pulp, so uh...be cautious.
Be very, very cautious.

History
This young thirteen year old doesn't originate from Airore. She's from Johto, and she speaks of her home town proudly- an old (ancient) town she fondly refers to as Harpress Haven. It was an old fashioned place nestled in a corner of the Johto region, forgotten and unnamed on the map. Isabella's father was a traveler and she never really bothered finding out who he was and gave him the light of a new moon (she didn't give a care, in other words). Her mother was a different specimen herself, but died from a sickness when she was three years old, so she doesn't remember much of her. She doesn't have lingering connections or feelings to either of her parents, and therefore thinks of herself as her own caregiver. She always has.
Now, in Harpress Haven, they were old school. Isabella herself helped run a farm, owned by the Town's leader, an old woman named Karmella. Instead of being adopted into a family, Karmella took the child in when her mother died, having her earn her keep on the farm and working her, but not harshly. She was tough, but she was fair, and although Isabella sometimes hated her, she respected her. She deserved every punishment she got, and soon she got no punishments, learning quickly.
Karmella kept the girl isolated on that Milktank and Ponyta farm. You see, back then, Isabella was special; she was a girl, yes, but she wasn't normal like she is now. Isabella, on the Hard Hoof Farm (Karmella's farm), was a pokemorph, with the ears and tail of a flaaffy. Pokemorphs in Harpress Haven was referred nearly as high as Celebi, because in Johto, pokemorphs were nearly only a dream. Karmella kept Isabella from the town's population until she was six, when she allowed her to go into town on errands. She found herself getting special treatment, everyone going out of their way to help her, offering to do things for her, and she found that she liked it. She liked being special and cared to instead of barely regarded like Karmella normally treated her. She favored going out on errands more and more as time drew on.
So, when Karmella got sick and demanded her to take care of her, Isabella got bitter. That's when the hatred for the old woman began to settle in; she didn't like deferring to adults. She began to be snappy, make smart and witty remarks, and didn't make life for Karmella any easier. The one day, she called her inside. "Isabella." The young girl, whom was eight now, glowered at her but didn't respond. The old woman sighed, then coughed, and shifted on the bed. "Hard Hoof Farm is going to you, girl."
Her eyes widened. "What?"
"You heard me!" Isabella winced at the sharp words, but Karmella continued. "You are my heir, Isabella. Listen to me." The young girl gulped. "You're going to have to grow up. Treat this farm well, girl, or Celebi will bring you down."
"Crazy old lady,"[/color] Isabella scoffed, although her tone was slightly nervous, "You don't know what you're talking about."[/color] She left the room. Ten minutes later, Karmella died.
So, as it turns out, in Karmella's will, she did name Isabella as her heir. She became the (very young) manager of the largest farm of Harpress Haven. She was taught how to manage the farm, and then was left alone to do whatever. She learned a lot from Karmella and watching her deal with the farm's inner mechanisms so she did fairly well; but along with gaining the title of Farm owner, she found that many of Harpress Haven's people went to her for advise. She got a lot of attention and was viewed as somewhat of a diety. She loved it, and she revelled in it.
But then, when she turned fourteen, Harpress Haven went through a bad rainstorm. It went on for weeks, and the town was flooded. Hard Hoof Farm perished, and as Isabella overlooked the ruins, unsure of what to do, she was kidnapped by none other than Team Chaos.
They brought her to Airore Region and began testing her. They got her DNA, much against her will, but what was she to do? She was only fourteen. Not long afterwards, they drugged her and put her through some sort of surgery...She blacked out and, when she woke up, wasn't at their lab anymore. She was stranded in this new, bizarre region- and when she saw her reflection in a river, she nearly broke down.
She wasn't a pokemorph anymore.
