Physical Appearance:
5'5", pale skin, dark brown curly hair down to her elbows, usually twisted up in a bun or braided down her shoulder, freckles on her face around her nose and cheeks. Dark blue eyes, and black rimmed glasses that fall down her nose.
Clothing:
Usually she wears jeans, black boots, red and white striped tank top with the a black hoodie over that. No hoodie in the summer. So she wears a blue and white striped tank top, and jean capris with flip flops. She always wears two things with all her outfits: a black bracer on her right arm, with a flower embroidered on the back of it, it is a single cherry blossom on it. Also big headphones, she has two different sets, one slimmer pair of purple ones, that she can wear discreetly if she has too. And the other pair is large, black, with a long cord to her MP3 player in her pocket or bag.
Personality:
Lazy is a good word for her. Introvert is another. She tries to only do what she enjoys unless her parents gripe at her too much. Then she feels the obligation but that may or may not make her do it. She feels left out, isolated, and in turn tunes the world out because of it. She however doesn't portray that front to other people. Towards other people she is snarky, sarcastic and generally ignores them unless they annoy her. Then she'll tell them. On the inside however, she feels -- isolated. She prefers inwardly conversing with her own made up characters than the people she meets. She talks to herself as if to her characters to calm her mind, keeping the fantasy world and the real world separate in her mind. But prefering her fantasy world more.
Likes: Notebooks, pens, Alice in Wonderland books, Fantasy books in general, rock music, history books (research), and hoodies.
Dislikes: Bugs, Spiders, Snakes, heights, anything generally creepy and crawly. Annoyingly nice people, annoyingly annoying people, and people being creepy.
Hobbies: Writing, listening to music, reading, watching anime and some video game playing.
Habits: Mind wanders when she talks to people, she tends to walk on the balls of her feet without thinking, and when she is anxious she digs her nails into the palm of her hand to calm herself.

Arcana: Moon
Going to leave my Shadow/Dungeon in as a reference for you guys
Shadow: Female Mad Hatter
Personality/Dungeon inside the mind:
Mad, sincerely mad, she talks to thin air like it is a person standing there. This shadow personifies the fact that Isobel thinks herself as going mad and detaching herself from the world. She is sinking deeper and deeper into the fantasy world she has created and -- has gone insane. She suppresses this fact from her day to day life, being lazy, doing what is easier for her to do which is to remain in that world. It is her safe and comfort zone.
The Mad Hatter, sees herself as simply not insane. That what she is doing is perfectly normal. Having tea with her "friends" which end up being many empty chairs. The isolation and distance Isobel feels is shown by the fact that the tea party itself is in the middle of a large hedge maze that no one can find a way into or out of easily.
Isobel is frightened of the fact that she might be insane, that she is not normal compared to her classmates. That her mind is full of things that she should not be thinking. As she has had these thoughts, she has detached herself from reality. Sinking deeper into the madness. She is afraid to surface from her madness because she does not want to reemerged into the world and find herself a freak amongst people who are all normal. She is afraid that she is mad as a hatter.
Human Appearance:
Isobel in looks but her clothing is medieval style, simple servant dress, brown, but ripped up in places, her eyes are yellow, her skin still pale, and her glasses are still there. But she wears an old top hat of different colors, different materials. With a single feather sticking out of the brim. Twisted smile on her face.
True Form:
A little girl, blue dress knee length dress, paint splattered in many different colors all over it. White tights and black shoes as well. She carries an old book in her hands, a crisp white blindfold covers her eyes. Her hair is blonde, her skin is pale, and she screams when people get close. Ripping out pages from her book they change into monsters to defend her. She hides herself in a child's furniture fort, the empty chairs from the tea party come together to protect her along with her paper monsters.
Dungeon: In essence Rabbit Hole/Wonderland, all the monsters are paper, created by the final boss of the dungeon. You fall down the rabbit hole when you go to sleep and the entire dungeon is a hedge maze to get to the Tea Party in the middle.

Iz has lived in six different countries in the last five years of her life. America, England, Russia, Germany, China and now Japan. All of them difficult for her to go to school and discuss anything with her class mates because most of them did not speak English. She started to distance herself because of that. Easier to not care in her opinion.
Her parents are still married, they work on software/hardware engineers, they move where there is work, and while Iz was born in America it had been awhile since she was there last. Another new job makes it so that she had to move to a new city and a new school. This time in a place that is utterly different. She isolates herself by choice, finding listening to music and writing her fantasy stories much easier than actually trying to deal with people in general. As the time of her independence came, she chose to stick around her parents who work in Japan still. Making it easier for her to keep in touch and less anxiety for Izzy to deal with.
Her motto is books are better than humans. In her humble opinion. She is also smart, acing most tests but failing to ever do her homework in favor of writing in her notebooks and crashing in parks, cafe's or anywhere that is not her home or dorm. She at least got to chose what she wanted to work on in college.
She and her parents are not speaking to one another because she has different ideas on how she wants to live and they cannot understand that. But they still are loving parents and they just do not speak about such topics.
She works at the local library, where people have to be quiet and she can be near the books she loves. But does not have to interact with as many people. That part she enjoys.
Akihiko and Fuuka approached her because they found in their researching that she is one of those with potential. And recruit her, but she is trapped in her own mind when she sleeps, unable to fully fight her own shadow off.
