Isabelle Rockatansky

Isabelle Rockatansky, known to her friends as Izzy or sometimes Iz is one of the ten protagonists in Ata Hāpara.

She is a close friend of Yujin's and went missing during the events of the last year.

Appearance
In the past, Izzy had medium-length blue ombre hair that she worse loose. She is incredibly pale and has "baby blue" eyes behind dark blue walnut-style glasses. Against all odds, these glasses remain largely intact for the duration of the book, save for a small break in the bottom of the left lens.

In the events of last year, she wore a Slytherin scarf, blue TARDIS patterned singlet, a black Cloak shirt, a Star Wars hoodie, and an RK800 jacket, along with black ripped jeans and black boots. She also wears a dark blue watch on her wrist with her grandmother's initials engraved in it, which Kyra finds in the mine, and a grey puffer jacket which she gives to Yujin. Her RK800 jacket has a Star Wars Medical Division pin, a Supernatural logo pin, and a PMA pin on the collar. She also wore a blue Paua teardrop necklace that she lost in the mines.

In the present, the first time she appears she wears the Star Wars hoodie tied around her waist and has ripped her jeans to the point where they become shorts (they burned the denim to stay warm before moving deeper into the mine). Her Cloak shirt is damaged, exposing parts of the patterned singlet, and she is wearing sturdier mining boots and a long black mining coat. Her Slytherin scarf is also burned on one end, but she continues to wear it. It is noted that she still has her pins, however. Her clothing has all been cleaned since being rescued, but only the RK800 jacket shows signs of being repaired (there is visible stitching and patches). Her hair has also grown out and now falls around her waist. The blue colour has faded slightly and the top six inches of her hair are back to their original auburn.

Upon arriving in the basement she ties her hair back, still having parted bangs, and puts on leggings under her jeans. While she is inside, she takes off her outer upper layers so that they can dry, wearing only her Cloak shirt and singlet. She has also been given back the Paua necklace, which she continues to wear for the rest of the story.

Before venturing outside again, she dons the remainder of her layers, continuing to wear the Star Wars jacket around her waist and the burnt scarf.

According to her Missing Persons Poster, she weighed 85kg and her height was 159cm. At time of rescue, Noah estimated she weighed 40kg at the most. She appears incredibly skinny, but has more muscle mass than Yujin and is surprisingly strong, able to knock a Taniwha backwards with a cricket bat an keep up with if not outpace Noah at top speed.Like most of her family, she has dark brown eyes.

She has a distinctive tattoo of the solar system down her left arm.

Personality
Izzy is a caring and protective person, but it is clear she struggles to get along with the more extroverted of her fellow prefects. A social outcast suffering from severe depression (medicated), she laments not being involved in more group chats, and notes that she feels very distant from the popular clique. After the prank on Yujin, she was angry at Tobias, Mina, Tash, Connor and Bianca and called them jerks, after which she ran out in the cold woods by herself to look for Yujin.

When she found Yujin, she immediately gave her her coat, despite knowing that she would cool down faster due to both her medication and the thinner layers she was wearing. Also, when Yujin tripped and fell while running away from what was later revealed to be a Taniwha, Izzy immediately turned back to help her get up and run again, putting herself at risk.

She values academia perhaps more than her interpersonal relationships but is incredibly loyal. She is a self-declared nerd, and Noah mentions that she consistently impressed their teachers, However, she also got a tattoo on her arm in order to help Yujin get over her fear of needles. She is described as pragmatic, a genius, and ambitious, and Yujin credits her quick thinking as the only reason they managed to survive their time in the mines.

However, Izzy is often very impulsive, a trait which tends to annoy her friends. She ran out into the cold weather to look for Yujin, and left the safety of the Observatory to find Noah and the others when she heard they were coming. Regardless, she is a feirce protector of those she holds dear, even if she isn't the best at telling them how she feels.

Biography
Izzy is the third child of the Rockatansky family, being the younger sister of twins Vienna and Remus.

Izzy is a caring and protective individual, appearing to be sophisticated and cautious, unlike her more naive best friend, Yujin.

She was diagnosed with severe depression at the age of 12, and has been taking antipsychotics since then. She made few close friends in school, but was universally respected and liked by teachers and schoolmates alike, becoming Academic Prefect in her final year.

Izzy, along with Yujin, disappeared last July. The police searched high and wide, but despite their best efforts, the girls are still missing, presumed dead.

[Year Ago|One] Year Ago
Beth is the first character seen in the game, shown looking outside [Estate|the lodge]'s window. She then catches a glimpse of [Stranger|The Stranger] outside and asks Josh (who is passed out after drinking too much alcohol) if he noticed the figure. Beth then roams around the room, eventually finding the note from Mike inviting Hannah up to the room for the prank. She asks herself what her 'naive sister' got herself into now.

Beth then sees someone (later revealed to be Hannah) outside from the window. Confused, Beth either has the option to wake Josh or find the others. If she tries to wake Josh, she is unable to rouse him. She quickly puts on a coat, follows the other out to the front of the lodge and hears [|Sam] calling after Hannah.

Beth joins them and asks everyone what happened. The group explains they were pranking Hannah, but dismiss it as just "messing around", believing Hannah overreacted. Beth is unimpressed; after calling them jerks, she sprints into the woods to look for Hannah. Soon, she hears a noise and sees footprints on the ground, both leading to different directions. She can choose either follow the footprints or the noise, pulling out her phone and using the flashlight to see better. After walking more, she sees a death totem on the ground, depicting herself and Hannah dying after falling from a great height. She also hears strange noises and sees apparently random bursts of fire in the distance.

Beth finally catches Hannah sitting on the ground, crying. Beth is relieved, offers Hannah her coat, and helps her up. Suddenly, they hear a noise (later revealed to be the [|Makkapitew]), look back and start running from it. As they run to a bridge, Hannah trips and falls. Beth hurriedly helps her up. By doing so, her phone falls from her coat pocket and into one of the slits in the bridge. Hearing the creature close in on them makes them slowly walk backward to the edge of the cliff. Hannah loses her footing and falls over the edge, dragging Beth with her. However, Beth manages to desperately hang onto a protruding branch with her free hand while trying to support Hannah with the other.

After a large flame emerges from above, a strange man ([Stranger|The Stranger]) reaches out for Beth to grab his hand. Here, Beth has the option to either grab his hand and let go of Hannah, let go of the ledge and hope for survival, or to do nothing. Regardless of the player's choice, Beth falls from the cliff and into the mines below, tumbling and sustaining many injuries along the way, most notably a direct hit to her spine by a rock, instantly killing her.

[3|Chapter 3]
[|Ashley], [|Chris], and Josh find an Ouija board and attempt to contact a spirit for fun. However, the spirit they 'contact' asks for help. Chris, feeling skeptical about the board, asks Ashley about its identity, stating that they can't help if they don't know who it is. Ashley obeys Chris's advice and asks the spirit who they are, to which it responds with 'sister'. The atmosphere suddenly tenses up as all three are now scared that they may be talking to Hannah or Beth. Josh, distressed by the answer, wants to know which sister it is. Here, Ashley has the choice to say if it's Hannah or Beth they're speaking to. Regardless, the counter moves to 'yes'. 'Beth' then directs Ashley and Chris to the library as Josh leaves, accusing Chris and Ashley of this whole ordeal in order for him to have some closure and says that they're "full of it".

[5|Chapter 5]
[|Matt] and [|Emily] may find [Phone|Beth's phone] under some wooden boards on a bridge, where Beth and Hannah ran through one year ago. The couple becomes extremely confused, stating that they thought the police had already searched the whole area.

[7|Chapter 7]
As Emily wanders through the [West Mines|mines], she can find Beth's rotten, [Head|decapitated head] sitting atop a pile of rocks. She also finds a cross with Beth's name on it and a date on it: February 2nd, 2014, the day the prank took place. Based on the rough carvings on the cavern walls and an assortment of Hannah's belongings, Emily deduces that Hannah survived the fall but Beth was instantly killed.

[10|Chapter 10]
Beth, along with Hannah, appears to Josh during his hallucination in the mines. They are shown to be slightly cracked and dead in appearance. In the hallucination, Beth blames Josh for her death, claiming he wanted her to die and that he did nothing to save her and her sister. This is a depiction of Josh's own mind and feelings tormenting him. They disappear for a few seconds before emerging from intestines, now bloodied. After repeating the same sentence once again, Josh demands them to leave him alone. Now having terrified Josh to no end, they disappear only for a Wendigo to show up through the cavern wall and screech at Josh before the scene cuts to [|Sam] and Mike.

While they search the mines for Josh, Sam can find [Watch|Beth's watch] in a dug-up grave. Shortly after, she can find [Diary|Hannah's diary], which confirms that Beth died immediately a few seconds before hitting the cavern floor. It also describes how Hannah buried her corpse, but eventually succumbed to her hunger and regretfully dug up her body to eat her flesh for sustenance, unaware of the fact that [|one of the Wendigo spirits] had begun to possess her.

[|Credits] (Mentioned)
Emily may mention Beth and her death in the police interview. She will only mention Beth if the player was able to find Beth's head while wandering Emily around the mines, and Matt, Jessica, Sam and Mike died before dawn. She will tell the interviewer that she saw Beth's head in the mines. Sam also indirectly mentions Beth when talking about Josh, when explaining how she tried to support him "after his sisters disappeared".

Death
After Beth and Hannah fall from the ledge while backing away from a Wendigo, Beth grabs onto a branch. [Stranger|The Stranger] reaches out to Beth, who then has the option to either drop Hannah and attempt to grab the Stranger's hand, let go of the branch altogether, or do nothing. Regardless of whether she lets go of the branch and she and Hannah fall down together, or if she drops Hannah and tries to take the Stranger's hand and then falls, Beth dies from injuries sustained during the fall, most notably a very severe-looking injury to her spine after she hits a rock.

[|Hannah]
See [and Beth|Hannah and Beth] for more information.

Beth was Hannah's twin sister. Beth ran after Hannah from the lodge in an attempt to find her. She was very worried about her and truly cares for her well-being. Looking back on the [Clueline|Twins' Clues] and her status, she valued Hannah very highly. Beth does have the option of dropping Hannah whilst they are hanging off a cliff edge to save herself, though if she chooses this option, she will apologize and appear distressed.

[|Josh]
Beth and Josh have a positive relationship. She thought it was quite funny when Josh had passed out after drinking, saying, "Once again brother, you've outdone us all." Beth also appears to trust him enough to ask for his assistance.

[|Ashley]
Not much is known about Beth and Ashley's relationship, but it can be assumed they don't get along, as Ashley has one of the lowest relationship status with Beth. She is angry with Ashley for participating in the prank and calls her a jerk. Later, Ashley can express remorse over the prank and disappearances of Beth and her twin.

[|Chris]
Beth and Chris have no interaction throughout the game. Their relationship level is high, but below Hannah, Josh, Sam, and Jess. Him being her brother's best friend, it can be assumed they were at least amicable.

[|Emily]
Not much is known about their relationship, though Emily is one of the two lowest stats in Beth's relationship, the other being Ashley. Upon finding Beth's missing person poster, Emily will be apologetic about her disappearance. Upon finding [Head|Beth's head] in the mines, Emily will panic over the discovery and later, if she survives the chase, tell her friends what she believes happened one year ago. She may later inform the police about finding Beth's head.

[|Jessica]
Beth and Jessica have a relatively high relationship at the beginning of the game; she doesn't seem to like her as much as Sam but likes her more than the rest of Josh's friends. However, Beth will still yell at Jessica, calling her a jerk for pranking Hannah. Jessica can be seen on a photo with Beth, Hannah, and Emily in Josh's basement.

[|Matt]
Beth calls Matt a jerk for upsetting her sister. Their relationship is not especially high, about the same as her relationship level with Mike.

[|Mike]
Not much is known about their relationship, though it is one of her lower relationship status. The only discussion they share is when Mike tries to defend his actions. Beth calls Mike a jerk before she runs into the woods to find Hannah. Mike can later feel remorse over the prank, due to it resulting in Beth and Hannah disappearing.

[|Sam]
Beth and Sam were reasonably close, possibly due to Sam being Hannah's best friend. Beth's highest non-familial relationship is with Sam.

The Fallen
Beth and Hannah can appear in one of the end of the terrifying story based on the 50s, The Inpatient. They will meet in the frozen forest, fleeing the Makkapitew (in this case, us) and approaching the edge of their deaths.

Trivia

 * Izzy wears as many layers as she does because she does not own a lot of cold-weather clothing, so has to layer hot weather clothing in order to stay warm.

 * Izzy was likely able to go without food for longer than Yujin not only because of her higher body fat percentage, but also due to her history of anorexia.
