Persona

Isobella was born somewhere in the Lowlands of Scotland near the English border in the 12th or 13th century. She is the mother of two children Lochlan Gray and Fiametta Gray. Isobella left her homeland and finds herself now living amongst Vikings, after running away with her children to avoid an arranged marriage by her father and her brother. Isobella is content living with her Viking friends, learning their skills and trading her goods for pretty things that they bring her back from their raids, which keep her in things like the pretty dresses that she loves.

Occasionally, Isobsella ends up time travelling because she likes ALL the pretty dresses to wear and sometimes she cannot decide for sure what century she is really living in.
