Birthday: May 19th
Personality: Isla is one of those girls who you originally see as rude and anti-social. Though there is some truth to that you'll find Isla is a good and loyal companion once you get through her initial walls.
She can be blunt and sarcastic but it's all part of her charm! Isla can be hot-headed but she's pretty chill once you get to know her.
Isla holds her family close to her, especially her little brother Leif, acting as a parental figure when she needs to. She is responsible and smart, not much can get past her, but she's wary when it comes to creating new bonds. This can cause her to lash out or avoid being with new people.
Isla falls in love slowly and carefully but when she does she loves hard. Though she may not say the words often, you always know that she really and truly cares for you, no matter the witty remarks.

Likes: Basketball, acting, reading, teasing the people she cares about and the people she doesn't, her family, taking care of her brother, debates, simplicity, red, quiet moments to herself, getting to know and be comfortable with someone slowly.
Dislikes: Being with too many people she doesn't like or know, trusting someone right away, being forced to socially interact, big and crazy things or celebrations, people using her.
Blurb Isla was inspired by M.J from Spider-Man Homecoming and Spider-Man Far From Home. She gives the same "I-Don't-Care-But-Sometimes-I-Secretly-Do" vibes.
As you can see I broke from the white-straight-girls with her and finally worked in some diversity. It wasn't a message on racism or homophobia anything, I just thought the character design was really pretty and I liked Isla being bi. 😊
Isla does follow that tsundere trope but who doesn't love a smart, strong, feisty character? All my other characters are strong, girly, sensitive characters, so it isn't damaging that Isla is more of the cool, witty girl. It also helps display that Kai can be the more emotional one in the relationship and that's okay!
I love Isla and she's one of my friend's favourites. 😂 I hope you like her too.
