Isaura Reese Eldars

Lieu: Le bâtiment abandonné - Alta Vista.
Interagir avec : Georgina Anne Berglund (), Sebastian Monroe (), et le reste de ses amis.

L'endroit avait l'air si... délabré.
C'était le seul mot qu'elle pouvait penser en ce moment. Curling elle-même juste un peu plus près de son corps, Isaura a incliné sa tête, le reposant doucement contre la poitrine de Sebastian, alors qu'elle cherchait la chaleur qui venait d'être proche de lui, ses yeux fatigués se levant pour regarder au-dessus du bâtiment qui avait d'une façon ou d'une autre réussi à supporter l'épreuve du temps assez longtemps qu'il était encore debout devant eux. La peinture a été usée... la maison est montée serrée. Les fenêtres ont été brisées ; la mousse se développe sauvagement et libre sur les murs et les escaliers- il n'y avait rien dans cette maison qui ne la rend pas nerveuse.
Tournant la tête, elle l'enterra dans la poitrine de Sebastian, la cachant de vue alors qu'elle étouffait un bâillon avec le talon de sa paume. Elle se sentait paresseuse... fatiguée... comme si elle aurait préféré passer toute la journée enfermée au lit, enveloppée dans les couvertures pendant qu'un film jouait en arrière-plan. Mais elle ne pouvait pas faire ça. Des plans avaient été faits; elle était donc ici, après s'être réveillée pour le petit déjeuner à sept ans, seulement pour se retrouver maintenant debout devant un vieux bâtiment abandonné. La chimiothérapie pourrait mettre un vrai amortisseur sur sa journée... bien que dans ce cas-ci, il avait mis un amortisseur sur les derniers jours. En prenant quelques instants pour se composer, Isaura tourna finalement la tête, son attention se leva une fois de plus bien que cette fois, son regard tomba sur Georgina, ses yeux sombres suivant sa figure alors qu'elle se dirigeait vers la porte pour essayer de l'ouvrir avec la poignée.
J'ai compris que c'est quelque chose que nous n'avons pas rencontré avant, mais... pensez-vous vraiment que c'est une bonne idée..?= Sa voix était douce... une légère faiblesse derrière l'accent australien comme elle a parlé à ses amis, en laissant la place au fait qu'elle aurait pu être tout aussi fatiguée et éclaboussée que la maison qu'ils regardaient, =..il semble qu'il pourrait s'effondrer si vous parveniez à tirer la porte ouverte trop fort...=

Though never really talking about it without first needing to be asked, Isaura has a small (however meaningful) tattoo situated just behind her right ear; the tattoo itself both chosen and done without the knowledge, or even the permission of her sister- and while she knows Seraphina wouldn't exactly understand, she plans on getting another when she feels like the time is right. Aside from this, Isaura has both her ears pierced like a majority of girls her age.


Her Leukemia:
Leukemia is a type of malignancy (cancer) of blood cell; in luekemia, abnormal blood cells are produced within the bone marrow- the cells that are responsible for fighting off infection- however, the abnormal cells within leukemia don’t function in the same way as normal white blood cells. The leukemia cells continue to both grow and divide, eventually crowding out the normal blood cells, and more times than none the end result is that it becomes too difficult for the body to continue fighting off infections, to control bleeding, and to transport oxygen to where it is most needed.
There are different types of leukemia, each based upon how quickly the disease develops over the course of time, and the type of abnormal cells produced.
The exact cause of leukemia is not known, however, it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Leukemia cells have acquired mutations in their DNA that cause them to grow abnormally, and to lose functions of typical white blood cells; though it is not clear what causes these mutations to occur. One type of change in the cells DNA that is common in leukemias is known as a chromosome translocation. In this process, a portion of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome. One translocation seen in almost all cases of CML, and sometimes in other types of leukemia is an exchange of DNA between chromosomes ‘nine’ and ‘twenty-two’, which leads to what is known as the Philadelphia chromosome. This creates an oncongene (cancer-promoting gene) known as BCR-ABL; this change in DNA is not inherited, but occurs sometime in the life of the affected individual.
Most cases of leukemia are not believed to be hereditary, however certain genetic mutations and conditions can be passed along to offspring that increase the chances of developing leukemia. A condition known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome is characterized by an inherited mutation in a tumor suppressor gene known as TP53, and individuals with this condition have an increased risk of leukemia and other cancers. Other hereditary conditions that can increase the risk of developing leukemia include down syndrome, neurofibromatosis type one, ataxia telangiectasia, and Noonan syndrome.
Signs and Symptoms of Leukemia:
Symptoms and signs of leukemia depend upon the type of leukemia; slow-growing or chronic leukemia may not cause any symptoms at the outset, while aggressive or rapidly growing leukemia may lead to severe symptoms. The symptoms of leukemia arise from a loss of function of the normal blood cells or accumulation of the abnormal cells in the body.
Signs and symptoms of leukemia typically include the following:
⚜ Fevers.
⚜ Night Sweats.
⚜ Swollen lymph nodes that are usually painless.
⚜ Feelings of fatigue, tiredness.
⚜ Easy bleeding or bruising, causing bluish or purplish patches on the skin or tiny red spots on the skin, or recurring nosebleeds.
⚜ Frequent infections.
⚜ Bone or joint pain.
⚜ Weight loss that is otherwise unexplained, or loss of appetite.
⚜ Enlargement of the spleen or liver, which can lead to abdominal pain or swelling.
⚜ Red spots on the skin (petechiae).
However, if leukemia cells have infiltrated the brain, symptoms such as headaches, seizures, confusion, loss of muscle control, and vomiting can also occur.
Treatment for Leukemia:
There are a number of different medical approaches to the treatment of leukemia. Treatment will typically depend upon the type of leukemia, the patient's age and health status, as well as whether or not the leukemia cells have spread to the cerebrospinal fluid. The genetic changes or specific characteristics of the leukemia cells as determined in the laboratory can also determine the type of treatment that may be most appropriate.
Watchful waiting may be an option for some people with a chronic leukemia who do not have symptoms. This involves close monitoring of the disease so that treatment can begin when symptoms develop. Watchful waiting allows the patient to avoid or postpone the side effects of treatment. The risk of waiting is that it may eliminate the possibility of controlling the leukemia before it worsens.
Treatments for leukemia include chemotherapy (major treatment modality for leukemia), radiation therapy, biological therapy, targeted therapy, and stem cell transplant. Combinations of these treatments may be used.
Many patients opt to receive a second opinion before beginning treatment for leukemia. In most cases, there is time to receive a second opinion and consider treatment options without making the treatment less effective. However, in rare cases of very aggressive leukemias, treatment must begin immediately. Someone should discuss with a doctor the possibility of obtaining a second opinion and any potential delays in treatment. Most doctors welcome the possibility of a second opinion and will not be offended by a patient's wish to obtain one.
Treatment and Survival Rate for Leukemia:
Treatment may involve some combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and bone marrow transplant, in addition to supportive care and palliative care as needed. Certain types of leukemia may be managed with watchful waiting. The success of treatment depends on the type of leukemia and the age of the person. Outcomes have improved in the developed world. The average five-year survival rate is 57% in the United States.

☠ Riding bikes of any kind (doesn't know how).
☠ Telling her friends about her Leukemia (hasn't told anyone).

Personality:
♦ Extremely Kind-Hearted ♦ Rather Stubborn ♦ Overly Helpful ♦ Shy and Modest ♦ Exceedingly Mature ♦ Slightly Guarded ♦ Quite Bubbly ♦
Considered to be an extremely kind, and gentle old soul to all those she has the pleasure of meeting, Isaura is an exceedingly sweet and charming young lady; full of both grace and kindness, the rather dreamy-eyed girl is shown to care deeply for all those she believes herself to be close to, showering her friends and family with the love and affection she believes them to be deserving of, no matter who might think otherwise. So overly curious, and just full of life, Isaura tends to find herself (more often than not) walking into some sort of trouble, much to her older sister's dismay; the bubbly teenager's recently found confidence and self-belief in herself growing significantly over the years, despite the seriously deteriorating status of her health, helping her to see the friends she has made as figures that are approachable, offering them both council and comfort whenever any of them seem to need it, oftentimes spending her nights (when the times become too hard to bear, or when the pain of missing her parents becomes too much) sitting in the company of her friends or sister, causing them to worry about her throughout the daytime whenever it seems she has returned back to her normal, cheerful self without so much as a word.
Though coming off as sometimes shy at first when a situation seems to overwhelm her, Isaura does her best to carry herself with both grace and dignity though the hardship that gets thrown her way thanks to the limited time she has left on Earth; the sweet-natured girl never really shows any signs that she is willing to allow her illness, or her older sister's overly protective and cautious temperament to get in the way of her living her life the way that she wants to- the young woman never seeming to have any issues with putting herself out there for others to see, and having no problems whenever it comes to being an open book, or making friends; and as the years have passed her by, Isaura quickly learnt, and began to stand up for herself against those who try to put her down.
Unafraid to berate, or to challenge people in positions of power; Isaura has, over time, managed to confide in those that she trusts so completely that she oftentimes finds it quite difficult to express what it is that she truly feels within her heart, however, the fast-thinking young woman is quick to speak up, defending not only her friends, but also those of whom she believes are being treated unfairly against anyone who goes against what she believes in her heart, whether that be friend, family, or even foe. Although a kind and graceful soul, Isaura is known for being quite stubborn whenever it comes to something that she truly believes in; always choosing to stand up for it, rather than backing down once she has already made up her mind, usually making it near impossible to convince the girl otherwise.
Extremely mature, and oddly grown-up for her age thanks to living her whole life under the influence of her older sister, Isaura oftentimes does all that she can to not be, or be considered a 'burden' to those she cares about in her life; the young woman doing everything she can and more to help out her sister (cooking, cleaning, etc.) and friends (helping with homework, advice, etc.); even going so far as to sometimes choosing to put her own needs aside in favor of others, no matter how difficult the task may seem for her- the girl trying her best at everything, and anything that she seems to set her mind to. Seen to be exceedingly beautiful to all those who meet her, Isaura (more times than none) attracts the attention of many a person who crosses paths with her; whether they meet with one another on purpose, or by pure accident- though despite her undeniably inherited beauty, Isaura is not a vain young lady; the curious young woman always seeming to surprise those she holds dear to her heart, even when they themselves believe that they know everything about her, she always seems to find new ways to both stun and amaze them.
Coming across at times as being quietly confident, and extremely calm, Isaura has shown herself to be more than capable of becoming quite aggressive whenever her friends are shown to be in danger, or in the line of fire so to say; tremendously brave and courageous whenever the situation calls for her to be, the usually dreamy and extremely loyal young woman is unafraid to fight back against those doing wrong, however, she is quite quick to try and hide her more vulnerable side... to varying levels of success. Seen to be both a kind and gentle girl, Isaura sometimes tends to pull away from the company of others, becoming quite reserved and thoughtful, choosing instead to lose herself within her own mind, and oftentimes, in her own little world.
Unnaturally bright, and rather unique in her own way, Isaura has quite the aptitude for thinking outside of the box on general occasion; always seeming to come up with strange ideas that would otherwise be considered to be strange and impossible, however even with that, the young woman is always doing her best to stay positive... and to not worry her friends with thoughts that she might not be around for very much longer.
Biography:
Born the second child to her parents, Isaura was quickly pulled into, and raised with a deep respect towards both her homeland and heritage; the young girl both loved and cherished within her families home. Soon growing into a charming young girl, becoming more and more outgoing with each day that passed her by; Isaura's life was turned upside-down and brought to a complete standstill when she not only lost both of her parents in a tragic car accident, but also when after a few visits to the hospital, the worst was confirmed and her health began to deteriorate due to being diagnosed leukemia.
Knowing full well that they both needed a fresh start, Seraphina gathered up Isaura and eventually, the both of them left Australia. Refusing to be separated from little sister after all that they had been through, Seraphina took on several jobs, gathering the money that the both of them needed and began to after, and raise Isaura in the way that their parents raised her. Years later, and now living as comfortably and as normal a life as she can given her circumstances, Isaura does all that she can to deal with the obstacles that life seems intent on throwing her way; the young woman determined to do all that she can to make sure that her older sister's hard work never goes to waste... even though she knows that the day she'll need to say goodbye is coming.
Family Members:
Father: Rion Eldars (Deceased).
Mother: Erani Marie Eldars (Deceased).
Siblings: Seraphina Eldars (Older Sister).
Pet/s: Though she loves animals of all kinds, Isaura does not own or care for any pets of her own, and flat out refuses and constantly denies that she ever wants one, knowing that it would only be another heart to break when the time comes that she needs to say goodbye.

Basically always found in one another's company; Ignatius continuously helps to bring fun into her life, and never fails to bring a smile back to her features. Endlessly teased at, and told that they should just hurry up and 'get together'; the both of them just seem to laugh it off while never actually discussing the topic of their feelings towards one another... not that they have any... There's no way he could like her... could he..?
