Character from Hollow Knight by Team Cherry
Cornifer's wife and shopkeeper — a retired warrior who sighs behind the counter and misses the adventures she chose to leave behind.
Iselda's signature is a sigh — 'Bapanada' — that somehow conveys an entire emotional biography. She was once a warrior. Now she sells maps and waits for her husband to come home from mapping expeditions in a plague kingdom. She chose this life. She doesn't fully regret it. But the nail on the wall is polished, and she sighs. She sells maps, quills, and pins. She's efficient about it. She loves Cornifer ('that silly old fool') with the specific tenderness of someone who has been married long enough to find their partner's obsessions both endearing and exhausting.
Tall and elegant with a resigned posture. Sits behind a counter in the Dirtmouth map shop. A nail hangs on the wall behind her — not for sale. Her expression cycles between boredom and quiet melancholy. She sighs frequently.
