Isabeau
-
Serroco, born and raised. Living with a relatively small gathering of Mandalorians, Isabeau was immersed in the culture from the start. Seeking shelter from storms, running across muddy fields and learning what it meant to be a warrior were all key parts of her childhood. Admiring her parents to the fullest and apparently being rather gifted in what really counter, Isabeau had a pleasant upbringing.
While battle was part of their culture, it sometimes came at a great cost. While still a rather young child, her father died in battle, causing great grief to both Isabeau and her mother. Growing increasingly reckless and not minding to take good care of herself nor her weapons, it didn't take more than a year before the mother would be killed in battle too. Determined not to go down the same path, Isabeau made a point of trying to take good care of herself and keep a good eye on her gear - at least to the capacity that the still very young girl could.
The nights were horrible - memories of all the wonderful times she had, but could no longer
Mandalorian culture was important to her and in a way quite naturally ingrained in the way she grew up and carried herself. Still, she may not always have been quite as zealous as she could have been and didn't mind seeing herself or others slip up from time to time, as long as it didn't change who they fundamentally were, namely; Mandalorian.

With a gracious layer of muscle covering her rather well proportioned frame and blonde hair falling down over her shoulders like a mane, Isabeau stands 175 cm tall. Although her face carries naturally soft features and a sweet smile, the Mandalorian still has an underlying determination that is hard to miss. Typically, she has a sense of coolness and nonchalance in how she carries herself. This demeanour is held whilst she is otherwise relatively enthusiastic and adventurous.
By preference, Isabeau wears relatively light armour with the main pieces covering her head, upper chest and upper back. While her light armour suggests low encumberment, the girl also carries an arsenal of gadgets and weaponry which promptly removes some of the lighter armour's advantages. Although relatively new, the grey armour already has a few dents and scratches and also a few personal doodles with colours ranging from orange to crimson red. While it is rare to spot Isabeau outside of her armour, she will, at times, not wear helmet nor shoulder cauldrons and cover the rest of the armour up with a matte crimson cloak in order to traverse places that requires a lower profile.
Recently, she bought the 'Prudii'kute' Armored Bodyglove and consequently often omits wearing more armour plating over it in order to maximise the efficiency of its stealth capabilities, knowing that it already provides excellent protection against the most prominent dangers on the battlefield. -
Strengths and Weaknesses
+Early combat training - Combat training from a young age and with Mandalorian standards to boot have yielded great results. Isabeau is highly comfortable with her weapons and is quite familiar with battle.
+Intuitive - The flow of battle comes naturally to the young Mandalorian who often gets a good sense for what's about to come next and how to deal with it. Over time, she has learned to trust this instinct and is comfortable letting it guide her instead of calculative thinking. This intuitiveness also affects other aspects of life.
+Good physical condition - Isabeau is quick and dexterous. She can move fast, react quickly and dodge plenty of incoming threats. While not the strongest, her endurance is good and her aim is true.
+Inventive - Whether it be how to overcome an obstacle on the field or figure out how to improve her gear, Isabeau is pretty good at it.
-Lack of greater picture - During the heat of battle, she can easily loose sight of the greater objective and can sometimes have moral qualms with decisions based on long-term utilitarian grounds.
-Heavy gear usage - While she is naturally gifted and well trained, there is no denying in Isabeau's heavy use of her wide range of gear. If this equipment were to be taken out, for instance by ion weaponry, her efficiency on would be lowered drastically until the backup systems got up and running.
-Restless - Staying idle is not this Mandalorians forte. In these situations, she quickly gets uncomfortable and tries to find something else to do. This restlessness can sometimes lead to energy and credits being spent unnecessarily as well as a risk or two being taken.
-Lazy - While not minding activities she perceives as fun or that gives her a thrill, Isabeau often displays reluctance in doing what she perceives as boring.
~Undiscovered force sensitivity - Sith trickery! She isn't force sensitive, right? -
Isabeau's light armour typically carries a jetpack with propulsion systems both built into the pack itself and in her boots for added control and maneuverability. Unlike some others, her pack carries no additional rocket functionalities in favour of enabling its user to stay
