Clothing & Make-up; Izzy is a little rockstar. She dresses very stylish in the more retro chiq look of the underground London community she has come to love. Black is always included in her outfit, along with splashes of bright colors, mostly red, pink, yellow, teal, and purple.

Dream On; Izzy is a dreamer. She likes to think about that what if’s in life. She seems to be a little air headed, not all there all the time. That is because she is off in her own little imaginative world in which she could test out all the possibilities of what could happen. In this way, Izzy is also very prepared. She is able to try and see the outcomes of all situations.

Rock On; Izzy wishes that she was a rock star. She loves the spot light and loves to be the center of attention, however, she lacks any skills that would ever gain her the life in the lights as she wishes. This is probably why she chose to go into the teaching career. She figures that her students will at least have to listen to what she says and she’ll have her time in the sun during her lessons. This being sad, Izzy is very enthusiastic about everything she does. She wants people to take notice and applaud her efforts in everything she does.

Live On; Izzy above all loves to have fun, and she loves to have been the one that creates the fun. She is always trying to get people to go out places at night, or plan little trips. She is good at planning and getting things in order so that they could be accomplished without stress and to the maximum capacity of fun. On the other side, some people find her overbearing, always trying to do something and never taking a minute to breath. Izzy knows above all that life is short, so she is not about to waste it. Not many people know her history, something she tries to hide, she doesn’t want people feeling sorry for her, so they just think that she is crazy hyper and needs to take some medication.

Parents; Barry Walter & Penelope AgathaDiem Barrows (67)
Siblings; Hector Eden Barrows (Deceased – would be 41) & Helen Wendela Barrows (Deceased – would be 36)

Izabel Loraine Barrows was born as a surprise child to Barry and Agatha Barrows. They hadn’t planned on a third child, after being quite happy with one boy and one girl. However, not only did they have that third child, but Izzy was one to push all their buttons too. She was a bright child not so much a trouble maker, as much as a prankster, who never meant any real harm. She was always keeping her parents on their toes, and tiring them out. However, at the end of the day, her parents would never say that they didn’t want Izzy. They loved her all the same as their two older children.

Izzy and her brother, Hector, and her sister Helen, were all very close. They grew up in Greece, her mother’s native country, none of her siblings having any sort of magical power, nor her parents. Magic was just something read in fairy tales, and was never seriously thought of. Her mother worked as the manager of a hotel that looked over the coast of Greece into the Mediterranean Sea. Her father also worked here as a concierge, seeing as he was British and could speak French as well as English and Greek. Their family was allowed to live in a rather nice set of rooms and here they grew up.

The siblings complemented each others personalities, as much as Izzy was a trouble maker, Hector was able to talk her out of anything, as well as be able to go along with Izzy’s wild imagination and what ifs in life. Helen was the smart one, the quiet little lady. She was always the logical one, explaining to Izzy why her ideas were sometimes so outlandish. Izzy always appreciated this advice. And so, the three of them could sit and talk about nothing for hours. Life was wonderful.

Izzy, as well as her siblings, attended an English privet school in Greece, where they could speak English as their father preferred, but still learn Greek. Her Izzy’s brother and sister graduated. The age difference was rather large between them, but it never really matter. Izzy was just starting school as her siblings left. Hector was to Cambridge to study law, and Helen went to a local University to study marketing. They were all a normal Muggle family.

That was until Izzy turned eleven, and the following summer, she received a letter from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. After going through the shock and the eventual acceptance of the situation, as any muggle born witch or wizard goes through, Izabel headed of to France to start her magical training. Luckily, she knew enough French from her father that the language barrier was almost non-existent. Here Izabel studied magic for four years.

Then in her fifth year, May to be exact, Izzy was brought bad news. Her brother and sister had been in a car accident. A head on collision in the rain, and her brother had been killed instantly, her sister in a coma in the hospital. Izabel was able to take the rest of the year off to be with her family without any consequences. Helen never woke from her coma, and in June, she also passed.

Izzy was crushed, as were her parents. She contemplated not going back to Beauxbatons, but staying closer to her parents, which needed her more then ever. The child that was once thought of as an unplanned pleasant surprise, was now all they had left. Her parents were forever thankful for Izzy from that day on, that she had been given to them for a reason.

The summer was hard to get through, and during the tough times, it was decided that they family would move to England. Izzy figured that this would be the end of her magical education. She would never finish school because now, Beauxbatons was truly out of her reach. However, the soon to be sixth year received a letter from yet another school of magic, Hogwarts. The letter granted her acceptance for her final two years, as well as a condolence. Izabel was grateful, and her parents supported her.

Since Izzy had attended Beauxbatons, a school that takes their OWLs at a later time then the fifth years at Hogwarts, her first year started off very hard. She had to make up the work and take her exams. She had little time for finding friends in her new house, Gryffindor. But soon, once things calmed down, Izzy found her place. She played quidditch for two years as Beater.

Izzy had always excelled in such classes as Transfiguration and Charms and Herbology, all the basics she was decent at. However, after the accident, Izabel found herself enthralled in the work of Herbology and becoming a Mediwitch, helping those in pain and suffering. Izabel took her NEWT level exams, expect to go on to medical school in the fall. However, her plans went sour. Izzy got all the grades she needed to start her training, except for her Potions grade. This held her back, unable to go on with her plans.

Her Herbology grades was Outstanding. She had really fallen in love with what plants could be used for in healing and such, but she had also gotten good at the care of the plants, as much alive as she was. She could keep them alive with water, food of sorts, and sunlight, something she wish she could have done for her siblings. So, Izzy went back to live with her parents, yet still worked hard in the study of Herbology. She worked with an Apothecary for years, learning the use of plants and remedies, and with her green thumb, she was in charge of growing the ingredients. Her knowledge of plantlore grew, and yet again she prepared to take the exam to get into the medical training. However, she was asked to teach at Hogwarts, and with a second of thought, Izzy dove right into the knew job, thinking it would give her time to study for becoming a Mediwitch, and also, she liked the idea of having her own class, which would have to listen to her if they lived it or not.
