Personality: Izzy is quiet, intelligent, and skeptical despite her fascination with the supernatural. She enjoys history, particularly forgotten or banned knowledge, and approaches occult studies with an academic mindset rather than blind faith. She has a dry sense of humor and tends to be the rational one among her friends. She’s cautious but also has a rebellious streak, especially when it comes to proving things for herself.

  • Adept at sleight-of-hand tricks, which she sometimes uses to test skeptics

Powers: Necromantic Affinity: Due to her family’s lineage, Izzy has a natural connection to death magic, allowing her to sense spirits and lingering energies Magically Talented: Izzy has ample amounts of magic power from her lineage. Grimoire Bond: The Black Grimoire is attuned to her, and its pages reveal secrets only to her touch. Ancestral Connection: She occasionally hears whispers of her ancestors guiding (or warning) her when dealing with magic.

Family: (Mother): A historian specializing in the supernatural, strict but loving (because the supernatural must be handled responsibly or bad things will happen) (Father): A linguistics professor with a fascination for dead languages Camila Torquemada (Grandmother) (Deceased): The last known keeper of the Black Grimoire, who gave the book to her before her death. Rumored to still "visit" Izzy

  • Victor Maxwell (Vic) (the one male friend, a hulking football himbo of a man, only have one braincell so he follows the group. Secretly a werewolf.)
  • Francesca Evangel (Frankie) (One of Nene's friends, a mute zombie tech nerd she sees Nene drag along to Frankie's protests)

Enemies:

  • Anyone who seeks the Black Grimoire for their own needs.
  • Johnny Redgrave (Part of the rival occultist lineage to her own. His grandfather is a demon who decided being human is awesome)

Bio: Izzy was born on October, in a crips autumn night. Her family carried an old, whispered lineage of occultists, but the details were kept from her. From a young age, she was drawn to books, preferring libraries over playgrounds. Raised in a house filled with ancient books and secrets, she grew up with an insatiable curiosity about history and the supernatural. Her grandmother, Camila, would tell her stories of magic hidden in plain sight, but her parents dismissed them as mere folklore.

In fact, her grandmother was the previous holder of the Black Codex, a book of forbidden magic said to contain knowledge beyond human understanding. After being lost in the 80's, the book was recovered by the children of Anyville a few months after the Halloween incident in 2000. When Camila died, she bequeathed the book to Izzy on her 12th birthday, asking her to protect it at all costs and never to reveal it to anyone.

Growing up, Izzy was an inquisitive but reserved child, finding comfort in history, myths, and the occult. She excelled academically but struggled socially, often seen as the "weird girl" due to her fascination with forbidden knowledge. Despite this, she formed a small, tight-knit circle of friends, including Annette "Nene" Nebraska and Mei Parker.

By high school, Izzy had become more skeptical, treating the occult as an intellectual pursuit rather than something real. She diligently followed her grandmother's last will to safeguard the book. She assumed it was nothing more than a family heirloom, until Halloween night of her junior year.

On Halloween night in the 2020's, Mei dared Izzy to use the book for a ritual - a joke, nothing more. But the spell worked. Nene, who had died from her cystic fibrosis months ago, was brought back from the afterlife. Not as the mindless undead, but as a Revenant; her soul had inexplicably returned to her decaying body. She had created a Revenant from a soul that had passed on to the afterlife. Necromancy wasn't supposed to work that way.

The ritual defied everything Izzy thought she knew about magic. She now knew that the book held more power than she had ever imagined, power that could destroy the world if misused. The ritual also had some unforeseen consequences that she was afraid to mention. Izzy feared that the ritual would cause the various Powers to gather in her hometown, the beginning of another Halloween incident.

Notes:

  • Izzy's silver streak in her hair is a birthmark that all women in her lineage share. It is said to "burn" when magic is near.
  • Despite her logical nature, she often has déjà vu, as if reliving memories that aren't hers.
  • The Black Grimoire seems to have its own will, flipping to certain pages on its own. It also occasionally "loses" pages, revealing them only when it deems her ready.
  • She secretly wonders if her grandmother is truly dead—or just hiding in another plane of existence.
