Image of your character:
Celeb you're using: Muna Zaki
Physical Appearance: Isis makes her way through eternity with coffee-brown, mid-back length hair that gets quite wavy in humidity. In fact, she has been forced to wear a headdress in order to keep those wavy locks under control. She has also been blessed with almond-shaped eyes and bronzed skin. She stands at an average height of 5'5", but has wide hips, making her well-equipped for bearing her glorious son Horus. Her beautiful lips and pout attract even the most unlikely of partners: her brother and husband, Osiris.
Feel the heartbeat
Personality Description: Isis has been known to be a trickster, working her wiles on Ra so she could perfect her magic. She's also the perfect mom and wife, going to any lengths to protect her loved ones...even searching for Osiris' body parts and raising him from the dead...twice. She enjoys being motherly so much that she extends her protection to slaves, sinners, and the rest of the downtrodden. Her mother-type personality extends her talents to healing and magic, in order to provide said protection for her commoner followers. Cult followings rarely happen to mothers, so needless to say, she's loving it. However, she's constantly torn between the desire to provide for her subjects and the desire to have some time to herself and treat herself to some benefits that mothers rarely get.

Story of my Life
Spouse/Lover: Osiris
Marital status: widowed
Family:
Her family tree is rather impressive. She was born to the God of the Earth and the Goddess of the Overarching Sky, Geb and Nut, respectively. Her brother-husband, Osiris, is Lord of the Dead. Her sister, Nephthys is the uglier of the twins as well as the least impressive of the family, is Mistress of the House. And finally, Isis' other brother Set (Seth) was master of convoluted stories as God of Storms.
History:
Growing up as the child of Geb and Nut had its advantages: Isis was guaranteed a prestigious role as a goddess once she reached an appropriate age. But being only one of four of the power couple's children, competition was inherent, even demanded among the children for their parent's attention. Of course, as the oldest, Osiris got most of the attention anyway. He was the golden child, even though he'd had a knack for getting himself into trouble in their childhood years and he never let his status as eldest tame his ways. Perhaps Isis' incestuous feelings toward her brother were formed as a result of her admiration of his carefree ways. She, as the most beautiful of the girls in the family, also happened to be a favorite of her parents, but her outward nature was much more docile and obedient than Osiris'. She was the mothering type, even in childhood and kept a watch on her minutes-younger sister and her younger brother Seth. Nephthys and Isis were an interesting pair. They had a mutual admiration of each other, which complemented them perfectly and made them the best of friends. Nephthys envied her slightly older sister's beauty, while Isis admired Nephthys' unbelievable candor. Nephthys was the blunt type as well as a rebel, constantly frustrating their parents to no end.
Then there was Set. He also was a whirlwind of the child, accidentally flooding the River Nile a few times during his childhood. He almost enjoyed creating confusion in the family, as he had the uncanny ability to imitate his siblings and throw his voice, much like vantrilequists. The only one to escape his tantrums was his favorite older sister, Isis. Unfortunately for the intertwined siblings, his good-natured fun turned sour once they all reached adulthood.
Once the hormones kicked in, the more or less harmonious childhood abruptly came to a halt. Perhaps what really set things in motion was Isis' marriage to Osiris. Somewhere along the line, Isis' admiration for her older brother turned to love, and to her surprise, when she confessed her feelings, he admitted to feeling the same, though Set's marriage, soon after, to Nephthys came out of a need for Isis, rather than a love between the two. It was a convenience marriage for both: Set was in love with Isis, while Nephthys was in love with Osiris.
Nephthys' need for Osiris seemed to run much deeper than Set's for Isis, because soon after, Nephthys disguised herself as Isis and plied Osiris with alcohol. Her seduction depended on his inability to tell the difference... Once Set found out about the one night stand that resulted in pregnancy, he poisoned Osiris, breaking Isis' heart. Naturally, Isis never forgave him, and was even less likely to forgive after he killed her beloved a second time. The second time... giving life again was a little more difficult, so much so that Nephthys, ridden with guilt, helped Isis find 13 of the 14 pieces of Osiris that Set had scattered in all directions. But she was able to bring him back once more, and this time, she was able to bear him a beautiful and glorious son: Horus.
