Isabelle or ‘Izzy’ as she was soon called by family and friends, was born on November 18, 1983 to Mike and Bella Ashford, both of which were professors at NYU. Izzy had a normal childhood and then when she turned twelve, her mother and father died in a car accident. It took Izzy a full year to even start talking again. While that year went by, Izzy had been passed from foster home to foster home. Izzy never felt love and support from anyone ever again. This proved to make Izzy a more self-sufficient person. She didn’t depend on anyone for anything and she decided that to make it in live, all you had was yourself. Many of the people in her foster homes began to see and realize that Isabelle had began to go down a dark path.
She became a rebellious teen and she ran from her foster homes often, being returned by the police a few days later. She even stole from stores and was put into juvenile hall a few times. When Izzy turned sixteen, she discovered her power. The ability to create and manipulate fire, it happened one day as she got into a fight with a fellow orphan and the girl punched Izzy in the face, Izzy threw her hands in front of her and flames blasted from her hands and burned the curtains in the room. The other girl was so scared that she never mentioned ever again. Izzy felt an odd sense of empowerment and exhilaration when she used her power and so she started to use it more and more. First by burning cups and utensils and then moving on to burning bigger objects. She was determined to get control over her ability, no matter what it might cost.
By the time that Isabelle turned eighteen she was ready to tackle life on her own and survive. She did this by first waitressing and sometimes dabbling in petty theft, like breaking in homes and holding up liquor stores a few times. Izzy was lucky because she was never caught for any of the crimes she committed, because if she had been caught she would have been put into prison. When the bomb hit, Izzy was out of town visiting one of her few friends that she had met in a foster home. Izzy stayed away from New York for a few months and then decided to go back and discovered a very different city than the one that she lived in.
Quickly getting used to the fast changing city, Isabelle began to bartend at various bars and she eventually bought herself an apartment as life in the city began to return to something like normal. After many close calls, Izzy began to perfect her fighting skills by taking kick boxing and other forms of self- defense. Knowing that she needed other ways to protect herself then just using her power, because now if people found out that she had a ability she would be registered like an animal and Isabelle wouldn’t like that at all. Now Ms. Ashford is just trying to survive life in the messed up city that is called New York.
Isabelle is a tough woman, who knows how to survive the harsh world. She doesn’t expect much from people. She also doesn’t trust people easily, which leads people to think that she has something to hide sometimes. Izzy also is a huge adrenaline junkie and can be called reckless at times because she likes to live life on the edge. Chasing a man on the street and a car is coming fast? While most people would stop, Isabelle would just run faster and harder and laugh as she did because it gets her heart pumper more and she enjoys it. She also doesn’t do well on teams generally, not liking to take orders (except from her bosses she works for and even they get some sass!), Isabelle is normally a one woman team and finds it hard to be on teams because she thinks people will either slow her down or just be useless. It is not that hard to make Izzy angry or make her not like you.
Isabelle has the ability to create and manipulate fire. This ability is one that she has been developing and practicing for years with and so she is quiet adept at it. She is basically a flame thrower. She can set her hands and arms on fire but she hasn’t been able to set her whole body on fire. Izzy is also unaffected by heat and fire, since she is in a sense an embodiment of fire, it cannot harm her. Isabelle has shown the ability to be able to keep existing fires alive as long as she is concentrating on them hard enough. A drawback to her ability is, if she is in a large body of water, she cannot generate any fire at all. When it is raining it is ok, but if she is swimming in the middle of the ocean, she cannot create any type of fire.
Isabelle can throw a constant blast of fire for about a minute, maybe less on a bad day. She will be /very/ tired after this happens. Izzy can create and throw fireballs, and depending on the size she can get very tired from that as well. Izzy’s flames are hot but only hot enough to make a surface or an object too hot to the touch.

Fighter- After many close encounters with mugging, Isabelle, in an effort to not have to use her power all the time to protect herself the young woman has started to learn how to fight.
