Isadora was born to woman named Olinda Pemberly, who worked as a maidservant for the noble family Evanthe of Diovire. On the same night Izza was born, Lord Evanthe's wife was also giving birth. Lady Scylla was a pitiful woman. After five miscarriages, and six still born babies, she was stuck in a loveless marriage, and ridiculed for not being able to produce a heir. It was no wonder she snapped after giving birth to yet another stillborn that night.

Lady Scylla was a bundle of complex emotions. The news that Olinda had just given birth to a healthy baby girl, down in the servants quarters reached Scylla, and she went off the deep end. With threats and bribery she switched baby Isadora with her own lifeless baby. Lord Raymond Evanthe would never know the truth. He was overjoyed to have a child, he adored her, and named her after his beloved grandmother. With that Olinda buried her daughter Cleo Sand, and little Isadora Evanthe was alive. Only three people at that point knew the truth; Lady Scylla, the midwife Britta, and a handmaiden named Nesrine.

Izza was three years old when Olinda finally knew the truth. The woman had always had her doubts, as she cared for the tiny girl, who looked eerily similar to herself, and has the exact same bright blue eyes as Lord Emerin. Britta finally confirmed Olinda's suspicions one night after to much ale. The results of this confession, were Olinda trying to kidnap a sleeping toddler, getting caught by none other then Lady Evanthe herself, and in the end Olinda was given the option of silence or death. So the crying Izza was put back to bed, and Olinda would watch her daughter grow up from afar. Britta was found floating dead in the courtyard fountain the next morning.

Isadora grew up oblivious to the truth. All she knew and believed was that she was the only child of house Evanthe, a noble girl from the Diovire Desert. Izza spent her childhood running around in the gardens, ignorant and happy. Long hot day where spent swimming in the river, and taking her lessons in the cool shade. Lord Raymond would read her to sleep with stories of mermaids, dragons, and fairies. He loved to teach her about the stars in the sky. She would sit in his lap as he told her all about the different places he been throughout Lhivoria. By the time she was seven Izza could tell you the name of all the constellations, and the stories behind them. Isadora was smart, warmhearted, and beautiful, which just made Scylla resent her more. The relationship with her 'mother' was strained, and full of bitterness. Scylla was strict, bitter and rather cold towards Isadora. After two more miscarriages and three still births Scylla finally gave birth to a living baby when Isadora was nine. Now that she had her own biological child she basically ignored Izza completely.

Izza never understood why her 'mother' disliked her so much. Now that she had a new little sister it became even more apparent to young Izza that her mother never loved her. She watched as the sour faced woman she grew up with changed into a loving devoted mother full of smiles and hugs for baby Magdalene, but never for Isadora.

Four years later Lord Raymond died of a heart attack. After the funeral Olinda told Izza the truth about who she was, and explained everything to her. It all made complete since. She had always wondered why she looked nothing like her parents, and this explained why Scylla hated her. Isadora confronted the woman, not really knowing what she was hoping for. Scylla barely batted a eyelash, as she told Izza that Olinda was telling her the truth. Shortly after Lady Evanthe sent her far away to be a handmaiden to the young princess. For appearance purposes Scylla didn't disown Izza outright, but she did make sure to disinherit her from the Evanthe fortune, leaving her with nothing for a dowry, or allowance. Scylla also made sure Izza's status as adopted was made apparent among the important people.
