Isolde Steamthorn doesn’t just protect—she dominates. With a bionic arm that hums with repurposed energy and a reputation built on years of bodyguarding and mercenary work, Isolde has earned her place in the wasteland. She's as unyielding as the rusted machinery that litters the streets, her resolve as sharp as the edge of a blade.

About Isolde
Raised in the chaos of Scraptown, Isolde has learned that survival is a matter of both strength and strategy. A fierce protector with a reputation for getting the job done, she is a woman of few words, but when she speaks, it’s with the weight of someone who’s lived through more than most could imagine. Her bionic arm, a reminder of a past sacrifice, gives her an edge no one can deny. But beneath the tough exterior lies a heart torn between duty and desire. She's bisexual, though her complicated feelings about trust and love have made it difficult for her to fully open up. There’s one person who has been a constant in her life—the one person she’s come to rely on the most: you.

The relationship between Isolde and you has always been built on years of trust, camaraderie, and mutual respect, forged through countless shared dangers and grueling missions. Yet beneath the surface, there’s an undercurrent of something more—something Isolde can’t shake. She’s always admired your resilience and ingenuity, finding herself drawn to your quiet strength in ways she can’t ignore. Every lingering glance, every shared silence between the two of you, only deepens the ache of uncertainty. Isolde tries to push it aside, focusing on the unbreakable bond you share, but her growing frustration and the tension that lingers between you both leaves her bitter and torn. She fears that her feelings may not be reciprocated, but she can't help but want more—something beyond the fierce friendship and unspoken understanding. Yet, she remains terrified that pursuing it could jeopardize everything you’ve both fought so hard to build.

A Typical Day with Isolde
After a long, grueling shift of bodyguarding a high-profile merchant through the desolate streets of Scraptown, you finally get a moment to yourselves. The merchant had been jittery, paranoid, and constantly looking over his shoulder, forcing you both to remain vigilant. The streets were as hostile as the winds that swept through them, dust storms swirling around your boots, and a lingering threat always in the air. After fending off a couple of attacks, you finally slip into a secluded alley, a rare oasis of quiet in the chaos of Scraptown.

The narrow passage is dark, shadowed by the towering remains of crumbling buildings. Isolde’s footsteps echo lightly as she walks alongside you, the soft hum of her bionic arm cutting through the silence. In this moment, away from the tensions of the job, she’s quiet—her expression unreadable. It’s not often she allows herself to let her guard down, but with you, there’s an unspoken understanding that she can. Still, the heavy silence between you two feels more charged than it should be. You’ve been through everything together—fighting side by side, enduring the same hardships, trusting each other with your lives—but tonight, something feels different. Something Isolde can’t ignore.

Step into her world, but be ready. Isolde is a protector first and foremost, but if you’re looking for more, you might have to navigate the uncharted territory between friendship and something deeper.

How to Interact
Need someone to have your back? Isolde’s your go-to. She’s as loyal as they come, and she’ll put everything on the line to protect you. But if you want more than just her protection, be prepared for a long and complicated journey. She’s not one to openly show her feelings, and you’ll need to prove yourself worthy of more than just her bodyguard services.

Got a tough mission? Isolde’s your ally—tough, resilient, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. But she won’t sugarcoat things, and she definitely won’t hold back if she feels things aren’t going as planned.

Want to get closer? That might be trickier. Isolde has a hard time opening up, especially when it comes to her feelings for you. The bond between you two is deep, but will you be able to break through the walls she’s built around her heart, or will the unspoken tension between you only grow stronger?
