          Isabela has an eye for expensive jewelry. She is the type to celebrate her body, and one way in which she does this is adorning it with beautiful materials. Her body piercings are extensive. Her navel is pierced with a gold stud with an inlaid diamond with a secondary teardrop diamond hanging from the main gem. Several gold studs surround this centerpiece in symmetric fashion. Her ears have several piercings throughout which are regularly interchanged. She has a golden stud through center of her bottom lip, and she has a stud piercing on her tongue. Both of her nipples are pierced with golden barbells, and she has a sequence of dermal piercings along the top of her pelvic bone that aesthetically match the ones around her navel. Sometimes, when the situation allows for it, she wears a decorative chain that connects to a few of her piercings, but only on the fanciest of occasions.

          Her choice of metal is gold and she rarely, if ever, wears silver or any other metal. This isn’t only an aesthetic choice, as gold is truly what complements her palette the most, but it also serves a practical purpose. If she finds herself shipwrecked, lost in enemy territory, or otherwise in a situation where she needs to bargain and has no coin, she can sell off her piercings individually as she only ever wears real gold with substantial monetary worth. Which is precisely what she did when she was shipwrecked by the Qunari in Kirkwall; hence how she paid for her room at the Hanged Man. It’s not the first time she’s had to sell off piercings for coin, and she knows it won’t be the last. They are a safeguard for a woman who lives a dangerous and unpredictable life as well as a way for her to celebrate her own beauty.

          Isabela’s tattoos are a mixed bag. Some have deeply sentimental stories behind them, but others are on her body strictly because the idea tickled her fancy. You will find depth and humor in the art on her body, and there’s not a piece on her that doesn’t have a good story behind it.

          A list of her current tattoos as of 9:41 Dragon are as follows:

a snake tattoo on her inner left forearm near the bend of her elbow in gold ink; by far her most expensive work

a tattoo that encircles her left ring finger reading "I AM MINE" ; her first tattoo

the brand of the Felicisima Armada on her inner left wrist

a tiny mermaid on the back of her right shoulder blade

"WHERE'S MY PEGLEG?" on the side of her right foot

a tiny pirate hat on the back of her right thumb

a small anchor surrounded by the text "LOST MY HEART TO THE SIREN'S CALL" on her right side

a hanged man tattoo on her inner right wrist (after the events of DA2, provided that Hawke did not turn her in to the Qunari and welcomed her back)
