She sold Isabela into marriage with a business associate of the Antivan Crows, Luis, when she refused to convert. But Madam Hari grew disillusioned with the life of a fraud and eventually she converted to the Qun to give meaning to her life. The young Isabela took to dishonesty quickly. These trips could last weeks, and Hari would often take her daughter with her to help. When she got bored, she would leave the village to steal from other people or con them into buying mystical charms like the Rivaini Fertility Talisman. Madam Hari was a thief and charlatan who had infamously posed as a Rivaini seer to help a village in the Rivaini interior in exchange for coin. When she became a pirate, the first ship's captain she served under began to call her "Isabela," his "little beauty," as a joke and she eventually adopted the name as her pseudonym. She was born in Rivain to Madam Hari, a notorious thief and charlatan, and an unknown father who was described as "large, hairy, and good with his hands" by her mother.

Bringing her style into the first game is a neat way to connect the two titles, making her comeback in Dragon Age 2 more special. While we met her in the first game, it wasn’t until the sequel that she truly stood on her own as someone special. I found that great to see, and she’s a beacon for many of the other companions, including Fenris, making her a treasured character. Don’t we all? Romancing her is one of my most favorite memories from this series because that is when you truly see her growth and get to watch her learn to trust others again and trust her own voice. She’s overcome so much to become who she is, but she still has room to grow when we meet her in Dragon Age 2.

Isabella is one of my favorite characters in the Dragon Age-verse. In Dragon Age 2, the fiery pirate became the very definition of a “glow up.” For those who prefer the more personalized style of Dragon Age 2’s Isabella, this Dragon Age Origins mod gives you what you want.Ĭreated by modder ‘GirlStandStill’ over on Nexus Mods, this Dragon Age Origins mod does exactly what it promises: it imports the model of the devil-may-care Isabella from Dragon Age 2, bringing her into the first game to replace her original, more generic-NPC look. What was not enjoyable was Isabella’s design in the first game – especially compared to the sequel. Dragon Age Origins is the first game in the iconic fantasy BioWare series, and for many, it is the most enjoyable.
