I have known Yisabelle for a long time now. She really does remind me of myself, in more than one way. Other than appearance, I might add, as we do look similar.
Yisabelle Blackboar, recently took on the rank of Watch Captain. Though I do not mean to underestimate her competence, I do think she may have inherited this position a bit before she could really be considered ready for it.
Her work aside, I have noted some changes in the girl's demeanor. She used to be more liable to ask questions, she was intrigued by things. She was almost even so much as chipper. I could say she was a friend of mine, kept me sane more or less.
But now that she's taken on so much added responsibility, she's gone numb. Cold. I see more of a glimmer in her eyes at the mention of arresting people, then I do of mentioning puppies, or ale. And it's hardly a glimmer at all.
Not to mention I see her less and less, about town. It would not be invalid to assume it is because her job has made her a particularly ripe target for aspiring young assassins of all sorts. In a way, I pity her. She has more to deal with then anyone else in the village, because every problem is her problem.
I hope that things calm down long enough for her to gain a real hold on the watch. Maybe one day they'll be respected.
