Personality
Izarra wants to know everything about everybody. She exudes confidence, and will strike up a conversation with a complete stranger with ease. She is very charming, and flattery will get her everywhere when used on everyone but the most strong-minded people. This makes her very good at getting information from people, even when they don't initially want to divulge it. It also makes her incredibly nosy; however, this has led her into the underworld of espionage, and she has become an accomplished spy.
General Information
Likes: Long conversations, listening, debating, sleuthing, sunbathing, going to parties, and in general any social occasions.
Dislikes: Not having the opportunity to express her opinions, hearing people insulting others behind their backs, catching herself insulting others behind their backs, evasive people, being deceived.
Favourite food(s): Shrimp, crab, chicken, rice, bread.
Least favourite food(s): Beef and pork in any forms.
Favourite colour(s): Turquoise and chocolate brown
Best qualities: She can make people feel at ease around her very quickly, and has a trustworthy air about her. She will try and help those around her as far as she is able. She is dedicated to her job, both in her dental practice and her espionage.
Worst qualities: She can become overbearing and dominative of conversations. She also tends to argue with people over anything, even if she knows nothing about the subject. She tries to poke holes in what other people say, and pick out their faults, especially those people she dislikes. Also, her need to find out everything about her target can cause her to take risks that can lead her into trouble, though she can usually get herself out of it.
Hobbies: She enjoys camping, sunbathing, reading, and taking walks with friends. She likes cooking and baking when she gets the chance, though her skills are limited and her dishes usually end up burnt. She likes puzzles, especially sudoku, crosswords, and jigsaws.
Talents: She has a silver tongue and can weasel her way out of most situations. She is very light on her feet, and can sneak up on everyone but the most alert of people. She was a Scout from age six, achieving the Explorer Belt at seventeen, and retains much of her wilderness survival knowledge. She speaks Spanish, French, and English.
Clothing style: She dresses elegantly, but without flamboyance.
Education
Received her basic education in Bonao, her hometown, but traveled to Spain at nineteen and graduated with her degree in dentistry (a five year course) from Universidad de Alcalá, Madrid, in 2045.
Occupation
Izarra practiced as a dentist in Madrid for eight years before becoming a partner in a surgery. Through her husband she became involved in the Centro Nacional de Inteligencia (National Intelligence Center, Spain), and was an active spy for them up until 2067. She now runs a dental practice in Christchurch, New Zealand.

She is generally in good health, and does not have any known allergies or phobias.

Biography
Izarra was born into a wealthy family, the third child of nine, in Bonao, Dominican Republic. Her paternal grandfather owned a successful gold mine, and became the largest exporter of precious metal in the Dominican Republic. Her father and mother, who had been heavily involved in the business since their marriage, took over the running of the company when her grandfather retired in 2025.
In her youth, Izarra was described as an inquisitive child, and it quickly became apparent that it was not a thirst for academic knowledge that she was developing, but rather a need to know the exact details of everything going on around her. This was a trait her parents often became frustrated with, because it led to the child asking endless questions. It did, however, mean that she had no objections to learning English at school (which was encouraged by her parents), as some of her siblings did. At age six, Izarra decided that it was important to learn the most widely spoken language in the world on the basis that she would be able to understand the majority of people.
At six, she also joined 1st Bonao Scout Unit. Her parents decided to enroll the child in a group that could potentially provide her with an outlet for her inquisitiveness, through its varied educational programme. She remained in the unit for nine years, achieving a huge collection of merit badges. At seventeen she travelled to China to take part in the Explorer Belt Challenge, an event in which older Scouts from around the world travel into the wilderness alone and follow a set trail for seven days, relying only on their survival skills. These include a knowledge of ropes and knots and how to make temporary shelters from natural materials, as well as furniture making, the hunting of small game with handmade traps, tracking, how to build a fire safely, compass and map proficiency, as well as overall safety and first aid.
Izarra was one of only ten Scouts who were successful out of the seventy who participated. After this, she left the unit to concentrate on her final exams before university.
Unlike several of her siblings, Izarra did not wish to join in the running of the family business, or even to remain in the country. Seeking fresh opportunities, she traveled to Spain for her tertiary education, receiving her degree in dentistry. Friends thought that this was strange, considering the stereotype of dentistry being unexciting and formulaic. Fortunately, Izarra found the work compelling, and completed the degree. She enjoyed the precision involved in the dental work, and the fact that every mouth was individual, and could provide new challenges. She also discovered a talent for the delicate and sometimes complicated procedures.
Instead of returning to the Dominican Republic after her studies as her parents thought she would, Izarra remained in Madrid. This led to strained relationships between them for several months after her graduation until her parents became resigned to the fact that she was not coming home in the near future. For the first eight years Izarra worked in a suburban dental surgery before breaking off with two of her closest friends from university to form their own practice in 2053, also in Madrid. It was at this time that Izarra met her future husband. As soon as the flamboyant Frenchman walked into the surgery, requiring immediate treatment, she was intrigued by the way he carried himself, even with a painful broken tooth. It was only after the emergency treatment that she realized he was one of the world's leading fashion designers, Sébastian Toulouse, a man who had created exclusive designs for the English monarchy as well as for the catwalks of Pairs and Milan. In the following three months, she flattered and charmed him, and he the same to her, until finally he proposed.
Izarra moved into Sébastian's stylish apartment in Madrid, where he was based at that time. Life was good for the first few weeks. However, Sébastian started to travel abroad more and more frequently, leaving Izarra convinced he was having an affair. Furious, she began snooping through his papers, and eventually followed him to London on one of his 'business trips'. As she thought, he had arranged a secret meeting with someone named 'Fox'. She tailed him into the back streets of Soho, and caught him red-handed...receiving a package from a tall man in a trench coat. Izarra burst from the shadows demanding answers, and a dumbfounded Sébastian could not react as the other man grabbed her and put a gun to her head. Suddenly Sébastian snapped out of his shock and explained that the woman was his wife. The other man let her go, and disappeared into the shadows. Sébastian spirited Izarra back to his hotel room, furious, but had to explain what was happening. He admitted that he was secret agent with Nacional de Inteligencia, having previously worked for Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, the French secret service, with whom he still maintained strong links. He was exceptionally angry with her, but realized her potential as a spy, and recruited her.
Izarra worked as an undercover agent for Nacional de Inteligencia for the next fourteen years, until tragedy struck, and Sébastian died of a heart attack in September 2067. Devastated, Izarra fell into a deep depression for several months, resigning from the intelligence service and moving back to the Dominican Republic. After counseling and the support of her family helped her back on her feet, she decided to start anew and moved to Christchurch, New Zealand, near her brother Joaquin, buying a long-established dental practice.
Entrance
The dental surgery Izarra buys in Christchurch happens to be where the Tracy family are registered. When Lady Penelope breaks a tooth while visiting the island, she is flown for emergency treatment to Izarra's practice. Penelope recognizes the woman as a former member of Nacional de Inteligencia, someone with whom she had dealings with a few years before. She informs Jeff of this, and of Izarra's record as an excellent spy. Jeff considers making her an agent for IR.
