Lady Isobel Mercury, who refuses to use her first name, is a tall, fairly willowy woman who hides much of her strength with sweetness, although she has a core of pure steel. She often dresses in simple yet flattering dresses and she is always careful to wear suitable, if not always completely fashionable shoes. Her dark brown hair, which is long when loose, is often pulled into a simple style allowing her to keep it short and out of her way, her eyes are a pale blue, gentle until she is greatly riled and then they flash with pure steely anger.
Lady Mercury is a kindly woman to most, although she has her reasons to be kind, it is never without reason. She speaks calmly most times, and is a woman who is aware of her own worth. She smiles sweetly even when angered although there is strength and hope clear for most to see, although it isn't often clear why. She can be hard to please, although she will give you many a chance to do so, given the right reasons. Her way of moving around rooms can make her seem cool and calm even when she is boiling with anger, the hints are clear only in her eyes. Lady Mercury was raised to be 'a lady' but she doesn't hesitate to use strength or power when needed. Where most expect her to be weak, she is strong, where she is expected to be strong, she may be weak.
Weakness for Lady Mercury is not something she would admit to, although of course she has a fair few. She is vain at times, incredibly subtle about what she wants although she still expects people to know instantly (and woe betide you if you do not), she can be a sneaky woman and she is quick to temper when already riled. Do not mess with her few friends or companions, she will act most times without thinking and may in her speed maim or kill.
Strength is something that Lady Mercury does not much think about although she has several. She is able to play the meek, sweet lady whilst also weilding several spells and abilities that many would not think, she is kind to those who matter to her, she is loyal (well, mostly...), she will use her smile to disorientate people when needed and she is able to command respect in most, if not all, situations.
Lady Mercury is both the ‘Money’ & ‘Politian’ of the group. She uses her wealth to support it in hard times and she negotiates with its contacts. Being a master of manipulation, intrigue, blackmail and seduction she can usually get what she wants. A committed hedonist who believes there is no sin in pleasure and openly bisexual she is also seen as the most ‘deviant’ of the group. With her magic and raw but gentle sexuality Lady M is a powerful foe but even without her magic she is not defenceless a very skilled sword fighter she always has her two ivory handled sabres on her person just in case.
Lady Mercury comes from a background of wealth, refinement and high society. At least on the surface in fact she comes from a background of court room politics, machinations, back room deals, Double, Tripple and even quadruple cross and manipulation and she learned fast. In the world to which she was born power, status and appearance where everything and gaining favour with the right people and allies was to be achieved at any price. A fact she found out when at the age of only 19 her own family ‘gifted’ her to a fellow nobleman whom they wished to form an alliance with. This act of betrayal affected the young Lady Mercury greatly and she swore she would one day get back at her family for it. She now refused to be addressed by her given name instead christening herself Isobel Mercury She rose to become the high priestess of the Grail order a very prestigious position and she even became a knight commander in The Netherworlds Army during its civil war against the Dark Legion. During this time she met and fell in love with Leytan. This relationship was seen as a scandal by Netherworld society the High priestess consorting with an infamous criminal and Lady Mercury took great delight in embracing her family by flaunting her relationship with Leytan in public. At the end of the war Leytan was forced to flee following trumped up charges of war crimes. Lady Mercury’s family forbade her from following and tried to marry her off to a ‘more suitable husband.’ This was the final straw for her and she resolved to once and for all ruin her ‘blood kin’s’ (she no longer regarded them as her family) reputation and standing.
She secretly arranged with the aid of her one loyal servant for her share of her family’s wealth to be transferred out of The Netherworld, She then had all her most valuable possession smuggled out. Once she was sure she was financial secure in her chosen destination The Dunshelm realm where Leytan now was, she put her final act of revenge into action. She embezzled a large portion of the Grail Order’s funds, exposed all the shady deals her family had done down the years and the secrets of other families and cast the scrolls and great seal of the Grail order into another realm meaning that no successor to her could ever be put in place. She then fled the realm and Isobel rejoined her lover leaving The Netherworlds in turmoil and wrecked by scandal her revenge was complete.
