@Crimson Raven Yup.
But if you ask Isabella she totally knows what that is. Don't question her, her musical knowledge is flawless.

By the way, just a disclosure to any one here who actually has musical talent.
I have absolutely zero experience in music. I got the names of all of Isabella's spells from wikipedia.
Just wanted to clarify because I don't want people thinking I have talent.

Here is my first character. I'm still working on Bullet.Isabella Pinelli~ The Mechanical Composer ~"The sweet sound of battle! Now, let me hear you sing!"
~ Character Theme | Marionette Purple ~
Isabella is a young lady who stands at about 5'8" and weighs around 59kg. She's very slender and delicate in appearance, but do not let this fool you. Isabella has been a performer from a very young age, and her body is well suited for the physically demanding act of dance. She is slightly toned, and sports very strong legs. Her complexion is average, with rather smooth skin and a line of freckles mapping her cheeks and nose. Her hair is light pink in color, and she has azure eyes. She wears very traditional clothing, reminiscent of her families social stature. A white, button up blouse trapped beneath a brown, leather corset is her usual attire. She wears short pink leggings with this, usually masqueraded by a large, frilly skirt that reaches down to her ankles. The skirt parts to the side, revealing her thigh high white stockings and brown leather boots.

Personality Eccentric and Hyperactive, Isabella is not one for subtlety and insists on living her life at full volume. She's a passionate individual who is eager to befriend, and near impossible to offend. She can come off as a little socially awkward at first, what with her rather intrusive personality and the strange way she speaks of her Machina as if they were real people. If you're willing to look past all of that, she reveals herself to be quite an empathetic person with her own fair shares of woes. However her upbeat attitude despite her struggles is down right inspiring to others. She has a strange habit of bringing out the best in those around her through her unconditional love and acceptance, which causes her friends to want to grow closer to her.
Isabella keeps Bullet in line, calming his temper down and stopping him from tearing apart anyone who so much as looks at him funny. In truth, she's grown quite fond of him over the years they've known each other. However she is quick to shut down any rumors of the two of them being involved romantically; insisting that the nature of their relationship is platonic.

Magic Specialty The Machina Orchestra (Requip)
Description The Machina Orchestra is a self named magic that is also known as Machina Make magic. Through utilising scrap metal and parts, the wielder is able to create magical contraptions powered and controlled by their magic. Their effects vary, and Isabella combines her Machina Make with Requip magic in order to store her creations. However, she permanently keeps two Machina on her at all times; Alto and Basso. Alto is a a pair of mechanical devices that sit on her shoulder blades. When activated, a pair of Machina arms and hands extend from behind her to be used in combat. Basso is a similar pair of devices, attached to her hips, that create a pair of Machina legs to be used in combat. The length of these limbs is about two meters.Alto Alto is a pair of Machina arms that can be retracted into a set of mechanical devices that rest upon Isabella's shoulder blades. They reach out to about two meters and are very durable. While normally carrying around such contraptions would impede upon a persons weight, Alto is controlled through The Machina Orchestra and thus feels weightless when in use.
- Alto: Verismo A quick series of forward, thrusting strikes from Alto. The force behind every impact is enough to push Isabella away slightly; allowing her to maintain a safe distance from adversaries.
- Alto: Allegretto A delayed, two handed uppercut with Alto. Slow to start up, but the velocity of the attack is enhanced with magic. Devastating to anyone caught in it; sending them flying high into the sky.
- Alto: Forte A delayed, two handed downward swing with Alto. Slow to start, but the velocity of the attack is enhanced with magic. Powerful enough to crush through any weak defense with a powerful impact.
- Alto: Collosale A magic propelled punch with the right Alto, followed up by the left Alto grabbing the victim as they are flying away and throwing them towards the ground using their momentum.
Basso A pair of Machina legs that can be retracted into a pair of devices resting at Isabella's hips. Unlike Alto, Basso is used for mobility and keeping Isabella out of harms way. The feet are equipped with magic powered jets to allow for brief hovering. Like Alto, the weight burden of Basso is lifted through Isabella's magic.
- Basso: Vivace The magic powered jets angle them self forward, propelling back Isabella a few meters. Can be used to propel her forward as well.
- Basso: Crescendo Basso's magically powered jets propel Isabella up into the air. From here she can glide back or forth for a few moments before falling. She can use Basso to land.
- Basso: Decrescendo While in the air, Basso reverses the direction of their magic powered jets, thrusting Isabella legs first towards the ground. Basso prepares themselves so that she lands safely. It's not recommended to stand in the way of her jet powered kick.
Soprano A set of three large, Machina gears. They can be summoned individually or as a set. Each gear is smaller than the last, allowing them to all fit into each other perfectly. The gears and be rotated at high speeds in almost any direction. Anyone who comes into contact with Soprano in motion will receive quite the thrashing.
- Mezzo-Soprano Summons forth the two smaller gears of Soprano and propels them forward at high velocity to strike Isabella's opponent. The gears disappear after they attack.
- Spinto Soprano Summons forth the largest gear of Soprano. There are crevices on the gear where Alto and Basso can connect to; allowing Isabella to sit inside Soprano while it spins. This acts as a pseudo method of transportation and can be quite the powerful attack to anyone standing in the way of the spinning gear.
- Coloratura Soprano Summons the set of Soprano to rotate rapidly in front of Isabella before firing themselves off as deadly fast wheels. The Soprano can change direction at Isabella's command and can attack in unison with other gears to apply heavy pressure on Isabella's opponents as they have to watch all three spinning gears.
- Soprano: Cantabile The most powerful attack of Soprano. Requires Isabella's enemy to be immobilised (Either by her Alto, or another means). Summons forth the three gears of Soprano directly onto her target, trapping them inside the cogs. The position is incredibly uncomfortable, and the threat of being torn to ribbons at any moment by Soprano is usually enough to keep her captive at bay.
Maestoso A giant, Machina arm that is approximately six meters long, and about two meters wide. The arm is incredibly heavy and hard to maneuver, even with the help of Isabella's magic. However, Maestoso proves to be a quite useful ace in the hole for when the situation requires a less subtle touch. Because of the amount of power it takes to maintain Maestoso after it is summoned, the weapon disappears after every attack in order to save magic.
- Maestoso: Con Spirito Summons Maestoso directly in front of Isabella from the ground, instantly punching upwards with a magically propelled strike.
- Maestoso: Con Moto Summons Maestoso above the target location, delivering a quick, downward punch to pummel any unsuspecting victims from a distance.
- Maestoso: Con Brio Summons Maestoso behind Isabella's target, delivering a quick, powerful strike to an unsuspecting victim. The impact propels them forward towards Isabella for follow up attacks.
- Maestoso: Con Amore Summons Maestoso underneath Isabella's target, quickly reaching up and grabbing them in the mechanical fist. Maestoso then slams downwards, violently throwing the victim to the ground with massive impact.
- Maestoso: Con Fuoco Summons Maestoso directly in front of Isabella, with the index finger of the large mechanical fist pointed outward. From the tip of the finger, a stream of oil propels out and drenches everything it touches. The oil heavily slows down the movement of anyone caught within it. After a brief delay, Maestoso fires out a small ball of flame that ignites the oil and sets everything ablaze in a raging inferno.
Deus Ex Machina! Isabella's most powerful technique, which she describes as "The Grand Finale". Summoning forth a large Machina contraption below her targets; a large dome quickly closes above them, trapping them inside the great machine. On the side of the machine is a panel filled with levers and buttons which Isabella can press at random. Each button causes an Alto, Basso, Soprano or Maestoso inside of the machine to deliver a barrage of strikes against the victims caught within. Each press of a button drains magic power from Isabella, but it is safe to assume that anyone unfortunate to be caught within Deus Ex Machina will be unable to fight for a while.
History The Pinelli family is a regal group of individuals who are known for their exceptionally talented kin. They are a family of famous performers, whose legacy has been upheld for generations. Isabella Pinelli was no exception to this fate. As a long lady, it was expected of her to train in the art of dance and opera from the moment she could walk. While other children played, she mastered her technique and was ready to perform on stage with her family by the young age of eight. The group of them blew the minds of individuals across the country, and they continued to exist as world renowned dancers. Isabella loved being on stage, and she was grateful for the training her parents gave her. However, her parents only had room for one love in their life; the dance, or their daughter. It was clear what their decision was.
Isabella's purpose was to dance and continue their legacy. She was never met with love or gratitude for what she did. It was just expected of her to do it. She quickly grew to be resentful of her parents and would often refuse to practice. Her parents took her words as empty threats, telling her that there was no room in the family for those who refused to perform. They told her that she belonged on the stage, and without it she was nothing. Out of fear of being kicked from the family, she continued her training rigorously and would dance when asked. Her life on the stage was a happy one; where she could forget all of her troubles. However, a performance can't last forever, and sooner or later she would have to face the harsh criticism of her parents.
The older she grew, the less impressed her parents were. No matter how amazing the audience found her; in her parents eyes she was mediocre. It made her furious to see the hard work she was putting in be unrecognised. One night as she was strolling through the town, her purse was stolen by a masked street rat. Not the type of person to sit there and do nothing, Isabella dashed after her assailant. Her years of training had made her legs quite strong, and she could easily keep up with the thief. Cornered, the thief removed his mask to reveal that he was a boy only a few years younger than Isabella. He smiled mischievously, quite impressed that she would chase him. Isabella took her purse back from him and left. He called after her, "Catch you around sometime, beautiful?".
His words echoed in her mind in the coming days. He was a repulsive, thieving little miscreant. So why was she so intrigued by him? Could it be that for once there was some excitement in her life off of the stage? She didn't show up to her next training. Instead, she sought out the young thief out of curiosity. She walked into an alleyway to find him being assaulted by a group of three men. They were talking about how he'd never live to steal from them again.
"Leave him alone!" She called out without thinking, charging at the men even despite only being a little girl. The men smirked at her, and she was easily taken down to the ground. She thought that it would be the end of her, when the young boys screams of rage echoed through the alleyway. She remembered the sound of the two other men screaming. There were loud, heavy thuds. The clash of metal. Then silence. The man that was apprehending Isabella ran in fear, crying of the "monster" in the alleyway. Isabella stared up at the thief boy. He was an entirely different person. His eyes flared red and he was covered in his own blood, as well as the thugs. He was like a feral animal. And yet, he held his hand out to Isabella.
"You okay, beautiful?" He said with a smile. Isabella took his hand, and has never looked back since.
The boy introduced himself as 'Bullet', which was quite a strange name for a young boy. Although Isabella wasn't the type to judge. The two of them ran away together, living off the road using Isabella's gift as a performer to earn money. They were only children, but they got by. Bullet grew very fond of Isabella, insisting that she deserved something better. So the two set off to join a wizarding guild; coming across Phoenix Wing in their travels. They were young, inexperienced and not to mention Isabella had no magical ability or training whatsoever. Yet that didn't deter the guild from accepting them. Growing up as members of the Guild, Isabella became immensely interested in magic among other things. Being able to study whatever she wanted, Isabella grew very fond of engineering and became a very intelligent person within time. Of coarse, she had help from the other Guild Members who were teaching her to use magic. She combined her newfound magical talents with her knowledge on Machina to create a completely new form of magic she aptly named The Machina Orchestra.
Even now, she still finds time to dance and her performances are adored by the other guild members. Although no one loves to watch her perform more than Bullet does. The two have become infamous within Phoenix Wing as "The Unstoppable Duo", combining Isabella's skill and intellect with Bullet's immense physical prowess and hardheadedness.

Thank you.
And then there's the love triangle with the hydrogen twins and oxygen.
And then carbon and hydrogen quads. And carbon twins and the hydrogen triplets. Carbon, the hydrogen triplets and a halide.
I could have fun with this.
@Leslie Hall it's fine by me
It becomes even sadder when they post it on Facebook and you know google was a key press away.

I am always good for a laugh, either with me or at me. ;)
Don't even mention the compicated acetate busness. Carbon sisters, hydrogen triplets, and the oxygen brothers... That is some epic stuff going on...
