Back Story:

Isla was sunshine from day one. Doug and Aggie didn’t take to parenting as swimmingly as they had been longing for but Isla made it easy, it was hard to succumb to the new parent blues with such a happy, content baby. Soon the little family of three got into the swing of things and their blonde cherub babe was walking and talking and boy could she talk! It seemed once Isla Alton started talking, she never stopped. She had things to say, questions, songs to sing, and lessons to teach her younger sister (who came around when she was five and completed their family unit). In short, she had never lacked personality. Isla was vivacious and funny and had no small amount of trouble when she entered her pre-pubescent phase. Her personality, though often charmed, could also be petulant, petty, and downright persnickety. Luckily, her parents could never stay mad at her for long and Isla could never stay mad at all. When she left for Hogwarts she was both sad to leave Izzy and excited for a new adventure on her own. What an adventure it turned out to be!

She was sorted into Gryffindor with little discussion from the Hat and from the start she loved school. However, she hated studying. Not that it was hard, just that it was boring. Who wanted to be cross with their nose in a book when there were so many more entertaining things to do with her time? Isla couldn't be bothered in her early years at Hogwarts to care much about grades. She was far too busy filling her social calendar and escaping the castle for a bit of fun whenever possible. She received her fair share of detention in those days. But, she grew and learned and found her passion and she very well couldn’t become a Healer with abysmal grades as she had, now could she! So, somewhere in the fourth, she set herself straight, with a lot of help from her Head of House, and the added pressure of her younger sister joining her at the castle. She couldn’t let Izzy see her failing, her little sis was so much better than that and would take it poorly if Isla wasn’t doing her own level best. So, by graduation, she had earned top marks in all necessary fields and was well on her way to her dream. It was so close she could see it and imagined that in no time at all she would be strutting the halls of St. Mongu’s saving lives left, right, and center. It was going to be a breeze after all, what could be harder than Hogwarts?

How naively foolish she had been! Hogwarts was easy compared to what the world threw at her when she left, she would have given anything to return to the safety of the castle and the comfort of her friends at the beginning of her training. Alas, she couldn’t and Isla just wasn’t the type to sit about crying over her struggles. Oh, she would cry and she did, so many times. She also, got back up every time and attacked her work with renewed determination to be the very best she could be. Eventually, her resilience paid off and she graduated the program with steller recommendations and secured employment at once. Over the years, she’s learned so much more, about herself and about healing magic and these days finds herself cuddling babies in the Maternity Unit. Her absolute favorite thing to do!

Isla hopes to one day, in the far far future, have little loves of her own. When she's older and less inclined to late nights at the pub and maybe when she wasn’t renting a room in a house with six other women and a leaking roof, and most of her money wasn’t going on the latest fashions. And of course, when she could finally nail down that Mister Right she knows is out there meant for her, oh and when it’s safer. Until then, she works, paints poorly, dances better, sings worse, and tries to love as loudly as she can.
