Character Info Name: Isobel Martin Canon (if applicable):The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern Canon point (if applicable): Just after the her last appearance in the novel Background, etc: Isobel is not a real name, but it is the name the woman who bears it has used for almost 20 years. When she was about 18 years old, Isobel ran away from her name, her husband and her short-lived home with him in France. By chance, she met a man in London when her train was late and fell in love with him. She thought he returned her love, and he tried his best, but it was never quite the same. They lived together for a year, in 1883.
He became caught up in a project - a traveling circus unlike any other, interwoven with true magic. The circus is the site of an ongoing contest between magicians. Isobel, who can read true fortunes with the tarot but is just discovering her ability, volunteers to go and pass information back to him. Reluctantly, he agrees to the plan. She finds in the circus a home she didn't expect, and several deep friendships, but she builds her life on the expectation that once the contest is over, she will go back to her magician and they will have a life together.
16 years later, Isobel still looks 20 despite being nearer to 40, the contest has ended, and more or less everything that could have gone wrong in the meantime has. Isobel walks away and doesn't look back, but doesn't yet know where she is headed. Icon of choice:http://www.dreamwidth.org/userpic/7776695/2249163
