[Isabelle Ine Iolani]

ISABELLE INE IOLANI*
fourth year, fourteen years old
representing hufflepuff, bearing a --- wand

raised in the muggle world, isabelle ine iolani was born to a muggle father and a half-blooded witch who attended a wizarding academy in north america. isabelle's father kealoha, a member of the air force, met isabelle's mother ine in colorado springs, colorado.

ine was on assignment for the american ministry of magic's muggle department at the time, performing scholarly research at the underground air force base at the time. the ministry hoped to partner with this particular base, but none of its regular personnel knew that at the time.

kealoha, smitten by ine, made the first move as soon as he could. ine, smitten by kealoha, loved the attention. they courted. one year and a half later, they had isabelle. at this point, ine still hadn't told kealoha her wizardly-affiliation, still playing by the undercover title given to her by the ministry.

it was obvious to ine that her quarter-blooded daughter inherited the ancestry of witches and wizards before her as isabelle grew up. odd things happened in their household, and although kealoha found it weird, he never caught on.

kealoha didn't ask any questions when isabelle found her way into the cookie jar that he purposely shelved high enough for her not to reach; he didn't ask when isabelle's least favorite easter dress found its way into shreds with her toddler-safe scissors; he didn't even ask when isabelle swung a home run at her young age of six, so far that they couldn't even find the ball.

growing up, isabelle moved around from town to town every couple of years. kealoha was always assigned to different districts, and the ministry was flexible with where they sent ine for assignment. so, the family was always mobile. isabelle hated moving from place to place, but saw it as not something to complain about, but a part of life. when she was ten, they moved to the united kingdom, where kealoha was assigned to the croughton air force base.

it was that summer that isabelle received an owl from hogwarts. ine, honored, then knew she had a lot of explaining to do to isabelle...and kealoha. although completely baffled, eventually kealoha accepted this wild news about his family. he had thought the "believers" he heard about were a bunch of crazy folk, but now he realized that they truly were onto something. ine however, now working for the muggle liason office at the british ministry of magic, swore him to secrecy and begged him to not interact with this newly-forming group called the believers.

isabelle, also pretty baffled with all this in mind, still shook with excitement. now in her fourth year, she adores hogwarts and her newly-accustomed life as a witch. even at that age, she hated moving from place to place, losing friends. she's grown to adore her newly-permanent situation, being surrounded by the same people each year.

in her first year, isabelle's favorite class was flying. she loved being able to pick up a broomstick and fly with the birds. "you know why?" her mother would write to her via owl, "your last name means bird of heaven." in her second year, she was introduced to the beater position. although as a backup member for her team, isabelle loved it. although it was weird holding a bat and flying on a broom, her former years playing softball reinforced the inner beater she was meant to be.

in her third year, isabelle made it as a starting beater on her team. she was honored. much of her thoughts and life now revolves around quidditch, although she does love her life with a wand as well. albeit a quarter-blooded witch, she embraces it with each step she takes.
