"Isobel is a woman who was born in a forest from a spark, not a mother or a father. When she grows up she finds that the pebbles on the forest floor are actually baby skyscrapers. So when she is a fully grown woman she finds herself living in the city. Most people in the city are run by their heads & she is completely instinct driven, which doesn't match very well. So she dances on tables naked & kisses the wrong people & falls in love with them & makes a lot of emotional crashes. Isobel means well but ends up doing a lot of harm so decides to go back to the forest." __________________________________________________
