Lady Isabella Norton of York was (or is) engaged to a horrible beast of a "man" who is attempting to gain fame as a Crusader in the 5th Crusade. Coming from a noble family, she was educated far more than most women are when it was discovered she had a gift for illumination. She was later sent to a convent to wait for her betrothed's return. While there she discovered that he was a very cruel man, that he had tossed kittens to his hounds, and that he beaten a heathen slave to death for not getting a stained tunic totally clean. After studying canon law,she became disillusioned with the convent's less-than-holy practices and her future marriage and decided to run away.
Fortunately for her, a chance encounter with Jasmine, a Redcap staying at the convent, helped her escape a dreaded existence as wife to a monster. She traveled to the covenant (being exposed to the "miracle" of Jasmine's land-sailing ship) after Jasmine promised that a position as illuminator to the magi could be found for her. She was interviewed by librarian Father Thomas, and was given the vacant Illuminator position. She is currently cleaning out the Illuminators Garden, will be teaching Illumination, and has promised Father Thomas an illustrated book in one of her free seasons (2 to the Covenant, 1 to the Church of Saint Katherine, and one free).
