HISTORY
The youngest of three, Isabella was born into a very loving and stable household that prided themselves on helping their community in any and every way they could. Often to the point where they gave more of themselves away to their projects than they did themselves. Though this in itself was a blessing in disguise for Isabella and her siblings; it brought them closer together for a time, taught them to put duty first and most important of all, the value of family. While some may have detested growing up in the shadow of their siblings, Isabella was quite the opposite. She used it to her advantage. While her parents were too busy dealing with her older siblings and their shenanigans, she was burying her head in her studies and sneaking out to college parties at night. And while she never resented her parents for their parenting, she did long for parents that saw her for the intelligent, determined, and ambitious young woman she was very quickly becoming.
The female didn’t seem to have any trouble making friends throughout her high school years. Her warm, inquisitive nature in hand with her quick witted remarks, something she picked up off her siblings, meant she slipped right in. Effortlessly maintaining high grades and diving into as many extra-curricular activities, it was evident from a young age that Isabella held a bright future ahead of her. Unlike her siblings she knew what she wanted from a young age and that was to simply help people. She thought perhaps as a doctor, but the idea of needles very quickly put her off. It wasn’t until she was walking home from school one day and witnessed a car accident, quickly dialing for an ambulance that arrived in a flurry of lights and sirens. Two paramedics stepped out of the ambulance and effortlessly went about triaging their patients, with not a sign of stress upon their brows. And that was it, the youngest Marino wanted to become one of them.
That same year however, her world would come crashing down around her, with but one knock upon the door. She remembers it as if it were yesterday, the blue and red lights from the police car that had been parked outside as two officers requested to see her father. And the next thing she knew she was watching her dad be escorted into the back of the police car in handcuffs while they watched on helplessly. As the truth of his dealings with The Syndicate came to light, so too did her hatred for the man that had abandoned them. The man that had put his own selfish dealings before the concern of his own family. And for a number of years the youngest Marino remained angry at her father, until that anger turned to curiosity as the need to know how someone could find themselves so entwined with a gang became apparent. However as her fathers betrayal faded and she looked toward high school graduation, her curiosity remained silent and unfaltering. Bigger and better things were on the horizon.
Attending UoC was but an opportunity to leave the family nest and step out of her comfort zone. College gave her purpose and was but another step on the pathway to chasing her dream of working on the ambulance. All the while she kept in touch with siblings, heading home for dinner every Sunday when her study schedule allowed it. Her studies offered an escape, and she very quickly immersed herself in the college lifestyle. Before she knew it she was three years deep into her study and preparing to graduate. Graduating and getting the first role she had applied for were two moments she didn’t ever think she could possibly beat. That was until she started working on the ambulance after all those years of volunteering while at college. It could really only be explained as a feeling like coming home. Moving into her own loft had been a leap of faith, but one that ended up paying off nevertheless. In a city where crime was rife and the gang feud lived on, it was never a dull moment, especially for a young ambitious paramedic.
