Persona History
Isabel was born in a small town just outside the capital city of the Kingdom of Valencia around 1487. The only daughter of a textile merchant and his wife, Velazquez and Catalina de la Vega, her family moved into the city to take advantage of the creation of the Silk Exchange, a trading emporium that acted as a hub for all of Europe. With access to trading silks, taffetas and other fabrics to places like England, France and Italy, Isabel's family prospered and allowed her father to afford to send her to be educated at the newly completed University of Valencia (or Estudies General as it was called at the time) in 1499. After the discovery of the Americas her father had looked forward to the boom in commerce that would be brought on by trade from the New World. Queen Isabel of Castille had declared however that only lands under her Crown of Castille would be allowed to do so, and as Valencia fell under the Crown of Aragon, her family was barred from New World trade. This actually led to an economic crisis in Valencia, and Isabel was forced to relocate with her family to Florence in 1504, avoiding the eventual revolt of the merchant class.
While in Florence Isabel met Raphael de Lucca, the son of one of her father's trading contacts who owned a high end clothing store in the city. After years of courtship, Isabel and Raphael were married in 1513 and she now lives at his family's estate.
Infamy
Isabel and Sofia should never be mixed together with anything except water. Otherwise, the results can be both amusing and disastrous.
