Having a creamy pale complexion, naturally dark hair (But platinum blond when dyed), sharp features and an often intimidating demeanor, Erin takes on after both her mother and father. There is a bit of masculinity among her features but she was never bothered by it. In fact, there is something handsomely dark but beautiful about the way she looks. They say that her eyes can be hypnotic, two slightly dull orbs, a mix of moss green and honey. Holding your gaze until you break eye contact. She's by no means unnattractive, least by most people's standards. But she sees herself as nothing more than average and carries herself to the beat of her own drum, never really caring how she's viewed by others.

Compared to almost everyone in Scarriden, Erin is overly aware that he is super hero. She often has conversations with her two internal monologues. Notably, Erin has said that "her 'Logical voice' would probably appear in yellow captions with Comic Sans font, and her more 'Psychotic Voice' would probably appear in white captions with the Typewriter Serif font." Whatever the hell that means, is just about anyone's guess.
Erin is known for having an accelerated healing factor, which not only prevents her from being permanently injured through enhanced cell regeneration throughout her body, and defy death, but it has also caused psychosis and mental instability. As her neurons are also affected by the accelerated regeneration. It is thought that while her psychoses are a handicap, they are also one of her assets as they make her an extremely unpredictable opponent. A super-villain that Erin has considered one of the bigger pains in her ass, is Taskmaster, who has photo-reflexive memory which allows him to copy anyone's fighting skills by observation, was unable to defeat Erin due to her chaotic and improvised fighting style. Taskmaster has also stated that Isimir is an expert at distracting her opponents.
Erin has also notably taken on the mantle of 'Merc With a Mouth', which others have said sounds rather familiar, but she's quick to dismiss those claims.
Contrary to what others may think, Erin has a strong sense of core morality. While her general actions and ways of going about things can be considered violent and pointless or evens selfish, as she's usually seen stealing items and money whenever she takes care of a heist. While in reality, every time she has ended up either donating the money to charities or funds at hospitals to help in research for cures.
For those that do know her though, that know the true Erin behind the mask and behind the insanity, know that she is incredibly loyal and kind, if just not under several layers of walls. She's had to guard herself ever since she was young, having to fight for herself and others. Having to put her life on the line countless times for others, because she knows that no matter what, she'll come back when others won't.

Not many people know the truth behind who the figure that's been referred to as Isimir, really is. No one has seen her face, and those who have, haven't lived to tell the tale. She's kept so much of her identity and past a secret, as well as never really knowing much even about her and what people do know, well, it's a mess. To say the very least. As well as due to the sheer levels of insanity, mood swings she bares, people had actually begin to think that Isimir wasn't just one person. That there must have been more than one, due to how different they could be in different interactions.
But the truth behind the person who dawns the mask, is much much darker than anyone would ever know. Even one of her most trusted friends, Markus Vasco, or as people know, Shadowfaux, doesn't know of her past. And she'd prefer to keep it that way.
The truth of the matter is, Erin was born into a home of two people who were very anti-supers. They hated just anything about them, often arguing or discussing very late into the night just how 'monsterous' and 'freaks of nature' supers were. From as far back as Erin can remember, she would lie awake at night, listening to her parents talk about how people 'like her' were these terrible things. Seeing as Erin's powers weren't anything visible or very noticable, she was able to keep it hidden. But that only lasted for so long.
One night, Erin found herself being violently woken up and dragged out of her bed and pulled into the bathroom by her father. Who shouted and yelled at her, demanding her to tell them that it wasn't true. She was confused until they revealed that someone she knew, had told them that she was a super. Which she immediately denied, out of pure fear as she knew what they would do. And as she imagined, it happened that night.
From what she can remember. There was water, freezing cold water. She was gasping for air, feeling her lungs fill with water. Over and over again until it all went black. Until she woke up sometime later, strapped to a table. It was from that moment on, that her life changed forever. From the age of twelve to sixteen, she was put through ruthless, barbaric and violent means of testing just how far her abilities could go. Seeing as she was not only able to heal, but literally come back from the dead on her own volition.
The four years that ensued, had wracked and broken her mind to the point of where Erin had developed a personality disorder to help cope with the trauma. Often saying how she can hear two voices in her own head, or not able to remember certain events happening. It was only during one of her 'tests' that she was able to break herself free and escape the compound. Fleeing for her life.
Erin spent months being homeless. Stealing and doing whatever she could to get by. It was only when she ran into a rather known superhero that her life changed. He introduced himself as Shadowfaux, and everything had changed for Erin. After revealing himself to be named Markus, the two quickly formed a sibling like relationship. If Erin was being honest with herself, she wasn't sure how to feel about him. But after he helped her come to terms with her powers not being a bad thing, but her greatest assset, that her life turned for the better.
The next thing Erin knew, Isimir and Shadowfaux were fighting crime. A somewhat underground duo, that not many people knew. But their reputation grew. She found herself having a family, and it all felt right. That was until a mission went horribly wrong. It was Erin, Markus, and another hero that got abducted and tortured for days. Only two of them came out alive, and it was because Erin hadn't stopped talking. She refused to let anything further happen to Markus.
It was that mission that caused her to split away from Markus. Blaming herself for them being abducted and their friend being killed. She blamed her carelessness for them being captured, and her fault an innocent life was lost. That was two years ago, and Erin has been on her own since. Just like before, it was her against the world. Running from those who hated her entire existence. Isimir knows that something is coming, that supers on either side are being captured and turning up dead days later. She doesn't know what's going on, or who's behind it. But she knows there's only one person in this world she can trust to help her uncover it, and she's been searching the shadows for him since...

In simplest terms, Isimir has the ability of Regeneration. Due to her extraordinary healing powers, Erin can regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of her cellular structure at a rate far greater than that of an ordinary human, and other supers alike. For example, she can regrow severed limbs or vital organs. But at a slower rate, depending on what the injury is, and was caused by. A bullet or stab wound can heal itself within a few minutes, but regrowing a limb or organ can take up to a few hours or even days. On top of her ability to regenerate, Erin also possesses superhuman levels of stamina. Her strength, agility, and reflexes are also beyond the natural limits of the human body.
Also due to the high rate at which Erin finds herself regenerating, in essence, she is able to come back from the dead if she does die. As to quote Isimir herself, "Death and me just don't stick, ya feel me?". Depending on the severity of her death, it can take anywhere from a few minutes, to even a few hours. But she always comes back, and the wounds will have mostly healed over by the time she reawakens. She's most notably said that every time she dies, she experiences slight headaches, entire body aches and is incredibly hungry, as her hightened metabolism rate is what also helps drive her powers.
One down side to her powers, the amount of times she has died, and due to her past experiences, Erin's sanity has almost entirely been demolished. Often seen talking to no one, or as if she's talking to an invisible audience. Due to her lack of general sanity, she's often the one to take risks that others would never think of, as well as her powers allowing her to do things others would literally die attempting to do.
