Isis (伊西斯) is an egyptian goddess and the donor of Zhao Yan, Zhi Yan and Yue Jian's genes.
Appearance
Isis appears to be a stunningly beautiful and elegant woman. Her appearance is similar to her three clones. She has beautiful and long black hair which are parted in the middle and covers both sides of her forehead with small fringes. Her special feature is her elf-like pointed ears. She is seen wearing a white long egyptian dress and an ornated choker. In her portrait, she was seen wearing a black dress and hat.
Personality
Isis appears to be a gentle and kind woman. However, her true personality is difficult to predict. Xi Tai notes she is not forceful and aggressive. She lacks any real emotion and does not express joy or happiness.
As a deity, she explains that she does not know the concept of "evil" and "good" as conceived by mortals. Though she may be seen as divine by mortals, she comes to the conclusion that she herself is likely truly a sinner based on her own actions and desires to finally know what it is like to know the difference.
She displays her lack of morals, however, in regards to her clones. Isis herself has mixed feelings about her clones as both are part of her yet not. In spite of appearing gentle, she is willing to use Yue Jian's body as her own without any hesitation so that she can live a normal human life for once. She therefore sees the clones as simply a means to an end and that they are only there to give her what she once.
As well as taking, Isis sees the act of "giving" also as a cruelty. She believes promising hope when a person lacks the power to provide salvation is also cruel. She also believes that wanting to live and wanting to die are just as good as each other. Providing a quick and easy death is better then living and struggling in pain. To take away these choices though, while trying to assert one's own principles is the most cruel thing one can do. She also does not concern herself when Yue Jian gives up and her heart dies.
She appears to share an relationship with Xi Tai, the Vampire King.
Abilities
Though trapped within the Ice Coffin asleep, she was able to reach Yue Jian and speak through her. She also held the rite that removed Osiris' curse from Forbidden Sphere. Her power is overall on a divine owed to her status as a Goddess. She is seen healing Yue Jian after Xi Tai's brutal torture of her.
History
Past
She was imprisoned in the Ice Coffin deep under the Black Sea at some point and unable to escape. Desiring her freedom, and escape from her status as a deity, she entered some sort of pact with Xi Tai.
Xi Tai promised to help her, to give her back everything she had ever missed out on and had lost.[1]
Somehow, the Demon Hunter's Organisation got hold of her DNA and it was used by Professor Nam Gong to create twins Zhao Yan and Zhi Yan. For some reason a error occurred and a third girl, Yue Jian was created also with her DNA at the same time.[2] Isis intended to take the two girls and take everything from them they had to offer.[1]
The Camarilla
She is first revealed when the Sabbat attempted to find the secret of the Ice Coffin. At that time, she takes control of Yue Jian and allows the Camarilla to enter the Ice Palace. During their stay, Zhi Yan had pretended to be Isis as well to steal the 7 Sacred Weapons from the Camarilla, though they did not know at the time why the girls looked like Isis.[3]
Xi Tai's prisoner
A few weeks after the battle at the Forbidden Sphere, she appears physically before Xi Tai. She asks him if he brought 'that girl' to which he gleefully replies that she is being held in the dungeon. She then worriedly asks him to hurry up and added that she will not be able to keep up for too long. Xi Tai caresses her and affectionately tells her not to worry and promises that he will not let anything happen to her.[4]
Once Yue Jian is awakened, Isis visits her with Xi Tai and introduces herself.[5]
Xi Tai then brings them in front of a prison cell where Yue Jian's classmates from the Kai Lun Academy were held. Apparantly, they have been turned into zombies through the use of the Rotting Bracelet . Isis watches as Xi Tai harshly forces Yue Jian inside the prison to become the zombie's food when she refuses to drink their blood. Xi Tai then tells Isis that it will not take very long and the method will work. Isis watches with worry as Xi Tai's hand begins to violently shake.
When Yue Jian regains her consciousness after being almost eaten by the zombies, Isis visits her and informs her that she has been unconscious for a while. Yue Jian then speaks with her and wants to know her motive. She tells her that Yue Jian has her genes therefore, she wishes to use her body to live the life of a normal human being. When Yue Jian asks her the reason for her wanting to do so in-spite of her being a god she asks Yue Jian what she thought of the term 'god'.
After listening to her reply, Isis tells her that god's power should not be touched by anyone. If someone touches it they become a deity themselves and becomes the object of worship to everyone, however, as a price they are reincarnated over and over again and every time they die the same painful and violent death. She then tells her that she just wanted to protect her people at that time and so she did not think of herself as an evil person, implying she was once a human as well.
After that, she closes the topic and tells Yue Jian that whatever was happenning between her and her classmates had to stop. She then tells her that it was Yue Jian's choice whether or not she drank their blood but if she continued to do nothing, she would become those creature's food. Finally, Isis leaves saying if Yue Jian still had anyone to protect, she will have to fight her.[6]
Yue Jian Falls
As time passes by, Isis is frustrated and confused by Yue Jian's stubbornness as her wounds are taking longer to heal. She speaks out about how she feels about her clones and question why Xi Tai didn't grab both girls and instead grabs only one. She notes in the process she will take everything the girls have to offer.
Inside Yue Jian's dream of a snow covered land, Isis questions her for rejecting power when offered to it, stating its natural to want to protect people but Isis also does too. Yue Jian responds back, telling Isis that she knows the Xue Yan victims are just people in pain and they still have some control over themselves.
To spite Isis further, she states that Gods like her won't ever know what its like to live as weak mortals. She refuses to exchange her happiness for the suffering of others and tells Isis she has no right to take the life of others for her own selfishness.[1]
Trivia
- Isis was a minor character mentioned in Vampire: the Masquerade and was the sister and wife of Osiris.
