Princess of Wales

Skills: Diplomacy, Court Etiquette

Motivation: Helping Wallace and the people of Scotland

Weakness: Loves Wallace

Isabelle was married to Longshanks' son Prince Edward in order to solidify claims to France and provide the King with an heir. Since Prince Edward was homosexual and possibly impotent, it was rumored that the King himself had taken up some of the more... intimate husbandly duties.

Lonely and ignored by the prince her husband, Isabelle was entranced by the story of William Wallace and his lost love. She pressed the king to allow her negotiate with him for the return of York, and upon meeting him fell deeply in love. Her sympathy with Wallace's position and secret love for the man himself has led her to extend discreet aid to his cause.

Isabelle is well-educated, polite and has extensive knowledge of court-room intrigue. She understands the status of women in her time-period and has learned to work within its constraints to get what she desires. She has a great deal of benevolence for the people she will one day rule, and dedicates her resources to helping them in any way she can.
