Isobel Thomas
Isobel Thomas comes from a sturdy yeoman small farming and crafting family in Yorkshire. Sharp, clever, and a sponge for learning, she attended Schola, enjoying the liminal spaces of Seal House a great deal.
Immediately on leaving school, she apprenticed as a Penelope with Gabriel Edgarton as her apprentice master. As Old As The Hills begins, she's about a year or eighteen months from finishing her apprenticeship.
She has a deceptively innocent English rose appearance, which works quite well for getting people's cooperation during investigations.
Old As The Hills
Isobel has been Gabriel Edgarton's apprentice as a Penelope for several years as Old As The Hills begins. When he takes on a key new project for the Council as World War 2 rolls on, she's asked to learn new skills and apply them in surprising ways.
