Nickname: Izzy!! Please and thanks. Iz is also good!
Gender/Pronoun: Nonbinary, they/them/their/theirs & xe/xem/xer/xers
Age: 20
Birthday: March 18
Sign: Pisces
Gemstone: Aquamarine
Blood Type: AB-
Fav. Food: Tamarind roasted chicken's pretty good! Really, though, xe likes anything with strong sharp flavors.
Hated Food: Overbuttered movie theater popcorn
School/Occupation: Technically kinda maybe a NEET?? Look, they promise they're in intermittent education and training.
Hobbies:
Karaoke: It's fun to just sing! There's no need to worry about talent or sounding good as long as you put your heart into it (and Izzy knows how to sing, anyways, it's not as if they're hopeless on the mic); and not only that, but it's usually a social experience. It's something you do with friends! Always a positive. Iz is naturally a loud person (sometimes too loud for even xer own liking), so things like this often help them modulate volume.
Coding: It's not as if Izzy's any masterful hand at it, but xe's written a Discord bot or two. Just little things to make day-to-day easier or automate a few processes so there's more time to relax - it could be a marketable skill, maybe, they're still pretty good, but they're not sure about that whole side of things. Being known is nice! But also scary!!
Firebug: What's a little arson between friends? And arson's such an ugly word, anyways, xe just wants to set a fire or two, it's safe, really. Izzy has been mesmerized by fire their whole life and always carries a lighter, and they're prone to a fascination with anything that might explode or catch alight - fireworks, sparklers, any of that, the whole shebang. (And xer dad can usually bail xem out if xe does anything really stupid, anyway.)
Virtues:
Friendly: Izzy has a force of personality that kind of hits like a train (which, admittedly, xe does cultivate on purpose). They're hardly guileless - they know exactly what they're doing - but they'll be the first to march over, introduce themself, and shake your hand; historically they've had a lot of best friends and a lot of good friends too. Hi! How are you! They're Iz, nice to meet you, party at xer house tonight, you should come! Here's their number, thanks, see you later!
Hardworking: Under all of Izzy's skittery, spontaneous energy, they're surprisingly dedicated. Sure, xe's used to things coming easy... but when they don't, Izzy's not afraid of a little hard work. It takes more than a little difficulty to shake them off! Instead of jumping from idea to idea, from project to project, either xe keeps on multitasking or xe knuckles down and gets things done first. Finishing things is important, no matter how hard it gets!
Spitfire: There's a fire in Izzy the likes of which is rarely seen. Keeping them down for long doesn't work, no matter what; they'll just come back burning brighter than before, defiant in the face of danger. No matter how scared xe is, no matter how much xe might secretly want to go home - xe is loud in all intensities and unapologetic about it. There is nothing about their own self that Iz is (publicly) ashamed of, ever, and they've worked hard to get to that point.
Hidden Subtlety: For all Izzy is loud and brash and engaging with them can be like looking into a sun, they do think things through in a way that most people don't expect. Sure, they are genuinely gregarious and impulsive and friendly - but that is, in equal proportions, intentional. Xe knows how xe wants to be perceived, and what might be advantageous for xem, and will go after that almost always. What's a little self-advancement if nobody gets hurt, right?
Flaws:
Impulsive: Action first, explaining later. Izzy would rather fail and try again than never try at all - or, at least, xe'd rather ask forgiveness than permission. It leads to a lot of (usually minor) injuries for them, given they're prone to not actually checking with anyone before they do something reckless. At its worst, it leads to ruined friendships; Iz rarely explains ideas before actually acting on them, and it can cause them to come off as fickle and cruel.
Self-Loathing: Iz really doesn't like themself all that much. Xe's good about hiding it, good about trying not to let anyone else see (especially not xer siblings or the people xe really cares about), but when it comes down to it... they think so little of themself that they're lackadaisical about their own safety at times. It's not that they want to die at all! They just don't think about their own safety much, and it leads to them getting a lot of scrapes and bruises.
Clingy: Very little in Izzy's life has ever been truly solo, first with their siblings and cousins, and then with family and friends. They don't like being alone - in fact, they're terrified of the idea of ever actually being alone, really alone - and they don't like people leaving, they don't like having to go it solo, none of that. Xe'll always latch onto someone if xe has the chance, no matter if it's a deleterious or toxic connection, and prying them off... good luck with that.
Your Experiences Are Not Universal: Izzy is a rich kid. Izzy is a rich kid. A lot of their experiences simply are not applicable to most other people's lives, is the thing? It's not that they actively lack empathy, it's that they're used to being able to buy their way out of everything, and the idea of... just not being able to buy a new anything because yours broke, no problem, zero worries... that kind of thing is just foreign to them. Xe doesn't mean to be callous - but it often comes off that way. Have you tried just pulling yourself up by your bootstraps?
