[ EMILY RATAJKOWSKI, FEMALE, SHE/HER ] Man, I wouldn’t want to get on their bad side. Who am I talking about? That’s ISABELLA TORRIO, they’re the CAPTAIN for TRIPTYCH. Not what you’d expect from most THIRTY TWO year olds, right? Word has it that they’re just as POISED as they are DECEITFUL, but I can’t help thinking about OLD MONEY VIXEN, SILK SHEETS SOAK UP ALL TEARS, YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN, I AM MY FATHER'S DAUGHTER, HIGH HEELS CLICKING IN BLOOD, DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND when I see them.
Originally born Isabella Adler, she was the second born but eldest daughter of a powerful mafia family in Chicago. She always knew she was destined for greatness and was molded to fit that path.
Isabella was raised with a silver spoon and never wanted for anything. Wealth came with extensive wardrobes, country clubs, jet-setting, an ivy league education and anything she wanted. However, her father raised her to be a viper in the crime world as well. She learned to fight, to shoot, to kill and to rule.
After college she relocated to NYC to start a modeling career. The job was simply a cover as she used her connections in the modeling world and the world of the elite to expand business and make deals in New York's crime world on behalf of her family.
She met Nico Torrio at age 26. They fell fast and hard for each other consumed by passion. Their names meant something and when they decided to marry only a year later it was the bonding of two great crime families in two great cities. Truly a royal marriage. They were to be the perfect power couple.
Worked her way up once she joined the Triptych to prove she was more than both of her surnames. Now she serves as Captain and her red lips hide a true danger one would not think to cross.
Her marriage is no longer perfect. She knew Nico had affairs before their marriage and even during times when they were together. But he had promised her it would all end when they were married. About a year and a half into the marriage she discovered he was cheating on her. It's been endless cycles of heartbreak, promising to end them, only to slip up once more. But Isabella will not leave the marriage. That's not for people like them. Now she begrudgingly tolerates the affairs with strict rules in place for them and especially for Nico.
They have a son aged three name Paul Junior. Isabella is not a very hands on mother but she still wants a kingdom for him to rule over one day.
setting: ren and isabella at the torrio family home | @cfichor
they had the home to themselves. yet again. nico was out and isabella was not quite sure this time. perhaps it was business or perhaps he was seeking out his mistress. the rules were when he left he would always tell her any number of reasons besides him sticking his dick in another woman. she was sure there were times where the reasons and places he gave were true - he was a busy man as one of the triumviates. but she was also sure some were merely lies. how much of a farce this marriage was!
″ what do you think? this vintage is a particularly old one, we got it on one of our more recent trips to italy. ″ isabella filled both of their glasses generously as they had the house to themselves. PJ was out with a nanny and so the vast halls of the home was their private oasis for now. ″ but enough about wine. how are you recovering? ″ after bacha lacha that was.
THE REGULAR AFFAIR
This is as close to a "mistress" (though this is not only for women and can be either gender) as Isabella would have. They are someone she has been seeing for a few years now since learning Nico was cheating on her. They are as close as Isabella will allow them - though she has no heart or real emotions to give as she gave her heart to Nico and he destroyed it. Perhaps it is one sided and they think she deserves better than Nico. Perhaps it is understood on both sides while there is mutual respect and some base level of affection there is no real emotions or future for them. Could be friends in public or only see each other between the sheets.
THE BAD IDEA, RIGHT?
This is someone Isabella shouldn't be sleeping with for so many reasons, but yet they find themselves doing so more than once. Perhaps they are from a rival gang or someone who should be an enemy. Lots of teasing and promising it will never happen again - until it does. Nothing makes the sex hotter than knowing I should hate you.
THE 3 AM HOOKUP
This is the only sex connects them hookup. There are no emotions between them and they realize this is only a hookup and booty call. Isabella calls and they come running. She will lay in bed after, smoking a cigarette and smirking that you will never get a key but knowing the next time both of you want to fuck with abandon this will happen again. TAKEN BY DAMIAN COLE
THE FROM ANOTHER LIFE EX
This is someone who knew and dated Isabella before she met Nico. They know her as Isabella Adler. Perhaps they dated when she was in Chicago. Perhaps during her ivy league education. They know a different version of her before her current life made her oh so sharp at every edge and dimmed that light in her. Could have ended as friends or with angst.
PLATONIC
THE UNLIKELY CONFIDANT
This is someone who she shouldn't be friends with but somehow they get along. A very unlikely friendship and confidant but the friendship is real. Perhaps they are from a rival gang and they have no business being close. But here they are. They have each other's back and tell each other everything. How ironic that one of Isabella's closest friends is someone she knows damn well she has no business being close to. TAKEN BY LORENA SIVORI
THE TRUSTED SOLDIER
This is someone who works for Triptych who works below her. They do not have to be a soldier and can be any role. However, they are someone Isabella brought in or who she has taken under her wing. They are loyal to Isabella and Isabella is helping guide them and help them raise through the ranks.
THE BODYGUARD
As the wife of one of the triumvirates for Triptych, Isabella has a personal bodyguard. This is someone who works for Triptych who is tasked with protecting her. They have a mutual friendship of some degree under the professional relationship and are confidants of each other.
OTHER
THE UNKNOWN MISTRESS
This is someone who is a mistress of Nico that Isabella has no clue about. When she found out about the affair Nico was having the first time, Isabella demanded he stop it. He was breaking her heart when she loved only him. However, as the cycle kept repeating, Isabella now begrudgingly tolerates the affair. But she has rules for Nico. One of these rules is that he never tells her the names or faces of who he has affairs with. She doesn't want to look at a maid in their house and know she is one, or see a woman talking to Nico at a public event and know she is fucking her husband. So this mistress would be someone Isabella is completely unaware is sleeping with Nico. They will meet and hit it off in some way while Isabella is unaware. Though they would most likely know who Isabella is. TAKEN BY SUMEYYE DURMAZ
THE CAN'T STAND YOU
This is someone Isabella does not get along with. Perhaps she shot them once. Perhaps they are from rival gangs. There is nothing but tension between the two and Isabella would more than enjoy going a round two with them. Perhaps they are afraid of Isabella, or maybe they find it amusing this hate they have between them. Either way there is no love lost.
