band au ... clover d. iselda.

iselda's mom was a musician before her and would often take her on the road on all her vacations from school, cultivating within her a love for music. when it was time for school, she would stay with her dad. her parents never married and while they loved each other, never really committed in the sense of a traditional relationship, but successfully co-parented.

her mom wasn't a major celebrity but has what would be considered a cult following.

while iselda wanted to drop out at sixteen to pursue music, her parents urged her to stay in school. she eventually graduated early and actually took college courses, majoring in a degree in music. (specific field tbd).

during her time in college, she would often go to underground music clubs of all sorts. while she frequented the punk scene, iselda had a wide variety of interests and would clubs that hosted other music like jazz, funk, new wave, etc.

sometimes, she would be recognized by some of the scouts or older musicians that know her mom, and would be offered opportunities. while she was proud of her mom's career, she also wanted to branch out on her own and find a sound that was hers.

eventually, she would join a few bands/projects, subbing in for bass or drums. she played a variety of genres and had even gone on the road with bigger names for experience.

she also creates a lot of her bands' merch and merch for other bands. she loves sketching and has made shirts, totes, pins, posters, album covers, etc.

her first serious commitment was with the band, WOUND; an all girl's rock/funk band. they had an eclectic sound but often infused elements of funk in their music.

after some time (tbd), she leaves the band on good terms.

she takes this time apart to enjoy the freedom of travel on her own.

one night, at a show she attends, she watches drucilla (@/foolisheart) perform, captivated by her stage presence and her music. they later strike up a friendship and eventually become a band together.

official line-up include: drucilla pritchard [lead singer], iselda clover [bass], and griffin baez [lead guitar].

in-world information / lore ...

born in the north blue to clover d. mavis, iselda is the grand niece of professor clover. though, she never meets him as her mother has been away from ohara on an exploration of the world for a few years by then. iselda's father is a marine who mavis nursed back to health after finding him shipwrecked and separated from his unit.

despite her wariness, the two fall in love and iselda is born. however, after seven years, her father wishes to return to the navy. holding onto her desire to travel the world once more and to continue her explorations, as well as the knowledge that as an oharan citizen could put herself and iselda in danger, they separate reluctantly.

on the island iselda is born, there's an oracle who reveals she knows mavis' secret as an inheritor of D. she foretells that iselda will bring ruin and chaos "at the appointed time".

iselda loses her arm at 10 years old after a traumatic event, involving bandits on an island her and her mother are exploring. the event results in her cutting off her own arm and nearly dying if it wasn't for the village's doctor.

while mavis' travels aren't with the purpose of finding information on the void century and even more so now that she has iselda, she finds important information regarding the poneglyphs and makes the decision to return to ohara.

on the way to ohara, the pair are shipwrecked and separated. iselda drifts for some time until she washes ashore on an island. the very same one where she'd lost her arm, and they nurse her back to help. she's about 14-15 years old at this point.

a few days later, the report about ohara comes in and she's struck with grief. her mother had shared brief truths about the island and their goal, but had emphasized this as a secret never to be revealed. days after that, they received the wanted poster for nico robin.

at 17 years old, the island is overrun by corrupt marines, seeking to extort money from the village and use the place as a secret base for their dealings. in the year that they occupy the town, iselda listens in on their dealings and hatches a plan to infiltrate the navy to learn more about the truth of ohara.

at 18, before she leaves to enlist for the navy--- as a show of gratitude to the town, she destroys the makeshift base and launches an attack on the marines left behind there while the others had returned to headquarters.

after successfully enlisting into the navy, she is first trained within a unit headed by sengoku, where she meets donquixote rosinante, but shortly thereafter is transferred to be trained under monkey d. garp.

she rises through the ranks to captain, but stops there as she doesn't want to owe more "loyalty" than she needs to do the world government.

she's deeply affected by the death of donquixote rosinante, dropping off the grid for several months before returning to the navy to fulfill her original purpose and to exact revenge on those responsible for his death.

she later joins SWORD --- on a mission with them, she comes across the revolutionary army. from there, she begins to help the army using the navy only in name.

by this time, she meets monkey d. dragon and learns of the inherited will of ohara. (more on present arc tbd).

possible in-world connections ... iselda's world is very open to interacting with anyone, whether pirate, revo army, marines, canon and oc alike. specifically, nico robin, trafalgar law, monkey d. garp, monkey d. dragon, koby, kuzan, doflamingo, etc.

additional information/plot points/tidbits ...

iselda is often late or just on time. she has been left behind a number of times and stranded on islands, needing to seek passage to her destination. she's also late to meetings, appointments, etc.

she pretends to have a bad memory. in reality, she has an excellent memory.

she's deeply conflicted by her position in the navy. regardless of her goals and her reasons for being there, iselda recognizes the conflict it presents to her own nature + belief system.

she has a casual obsession with being a D inheritor. although, she has come to realize that the path she has taken will likely result in her death, some part of her wonders if the reason she hasn't died yet is because the will of D hasn't yet found her death's purpose.

verses for ... clover d. iselda.

shipwright au ... most of the early part of iselda's lore still takes place but instead of ending up at the village, she is picked up by a ship on its way to water 7 for repairs. upon bringing her there, she's nursed back to health and is in a coma for a month. as she recuperates, her memories come and go. even after receiving the reports about ohara and nico robin, it takes a while for her memories to come back in full. navy ships and personnel come and go on water 7 and from there, she gathers information here and there. it's later that she meets franky and gradually befriends him, that she learns more about the government's corruption. as she lives on water 7, she apprentices and becomes a shipwright, and is later absorbed into Galley-LA. it seems fate would bring her and nico robin together, as she is still there when the strawhats arrive and joins the rescue team to enies lobby. from there, she sails off with the strawhats and becomes a part of their crew. [ however, i'm open to plotting a different outcome to post-enies lobby! another option, i thought of is she sails out on her own, continuing her mother's dream to sail the world in exploration on her own and later on joins the revolutionary army in pursuit of her other motivations to seek the truth about ohara. ]

haikyuu au ... iselda was a transfer student in japan and joined the shiratorizawa team. after graduating, she travels abroad and pursues other passions. however, she's called to coach/mentor the students, and she travels back to japan. she becomes a mentor to ushijima.

medieval au ... a knight serving as a weaponized arm of the land's royal family known as the celestial dragons. unbeknownst to iselda, she is the prophesied heir to the throne. this had been thwarted when she was a child when usurpers overthrew the last ruler and took in iselda as a young child, brainwashing her into becoming their knight instead of doing away with her. believing the celestial dragons to be divinity, she continues to do their bidding unquestioningly.

modern au ... an investigative journalist who endeavors to uncover corruption, greed, and unlawful practices from large corporations to cutting through governmental red tape.

detective au ... spurned on to join the academy and become a detective after her mother's disappearance, iselda is the headache of the precinct. often using out of the box and unorthodox methods in order to get results. however because of her stats of closed cases and captured criminals, she remains on the force. [good for crime prodecural/crime based verses/fandoms/ocs.]

jjk au ... born overseas in a commune of sorcerers, but later discovered to have zero cursed energy and instead wields immense physical strength and fortitude, able to withstand injury after injury. trained in combat all the same, she grows up within the sorcerer’s community. during a battle with a cursed spirit alongside her mother, her arm becomes infected by the spirit’s technique, but she slices it off herself before it can take root in her body. her left arm is now a prosthetic, fashioned with a function to detect cursed spirits and able to use that in tandem with weapons imbued with cursed energy. her backstory is not fixed in japan, but in-world she can be flexibly placed anywhere. while i don’t see her working for any of the schools, she can be an ally to any of the sorcerers.

at 17 years old, the island is overrun by corrupt marines, seeking to extort money from the village and use the place as a secret base for their dealings. in the year that they occupy the town, iselda listens in on their dealings and hatches a plan to infiltrate the navy to learn more about the truth of ohara.

at 18, before she leaves to enlist for the navy--- as a show of gratitude to the town, she destroys the makeshift base and launches an attack on the marines left behind there while the others had returned to headquarters.

after successfully enlisting into the navy, she is first trained within a unit headed by sengoku, where she meets donquixote rosinante, but shortly thereafter is transferred to be trained under monkey d. garp.

she rises through the ranks to captain, but stops there as she doesn't want to owe more "loyalty" than she needs to do the world government.

she's deeply affected by the death of donquixote rosinante, dropping off the grid for several months before returning to the navy to fulfill her original purpose and to exact revenge on those responsible for his death.

she later joins SWORD --- on a mission with them, she comes across the revolutionary army. from there, she begins to help the army using the navy only in name.

by this time, she meets monkey d. dragon and learns of the inherited will of ohara. (more on present arc tbd).

possible in-world connections ... iselda's world is very open to interacting with anyone, whether pirate, revo army, marines, canon and oc alike. specifically, nico robin, trafalgar law, monkey d. garp, monkey d. dragon, koby, kuzan, doflamingo, etc.

additional information/plot points/tidbits ...

iselda is often late or just on time. she has been left behind a number of times and stranded on islands, needing to seek passage to her destination. she's also late to meetings, appointments, etc.

she pretends to have a bad memory. in reality, she has an excellent memory.

she's deeply conflicted by her position in the navy. regardless of her goals and her reasons for being there, iselda recognizes the conflict it presents to her own nature + belief system.

she has a casual obsession with being a D inheritor. although, she has come to realize that the path she has taken will likely result in her death, some part of her wonders if the reason she hasn't died yet is because the will of D hasn't yet found her death's purpose.

shipping guide ...

the following is a list of my muses + their shipping statuses and additional notes to help guide with shipping. this list is solely based on romantic shipping as platonic / antagonistic and other types of dynamics will never have a limit. the status of each could change in the future. the 'will never consider' list are very hard no's. these are absolute. i have other characters i don't ship with muses but i'd rather not make a bigger list than this already is. for now, please respect the choices made and at the end of the day, just ask! this is NOT a list of my established ships or biases. i likely won’t be listing those. if you ever want to check on a status of a ship or want to know whether i ship something, just reach out!

clover d. iselda ... closed in canon verses [main & shipwright], tentatively open in au's and crossovers, ocs welcome. - characters i would never consider: trafalgar law, donquixote doflamingo [including other doffy family crew members] and cipher pol members. kazumi haru … open; ocs preferred + closed to crossovers and aus at the moment as i build his canon. nina liu [referring only to her op verse; her main verse exists on another blog and is single shipped there] … tentatively open and requires heavier plotting whether for canon, ocs and crossovers. nina is NOT nice nor will she be watered down, just a general warning if you’re interested in shipping with her. quetzal d. luna … closed. focusing on building her lore and voice at the moment.

( SEE GUIDELINES AND GEN. INFO UNDER THE CUT )

rules + general information.

my online activity will be hella sporadic. can go long stretches of time without being around. just a general heads up.

i don't write explicitly sexual material, infidelity based plots or threads, and holiday/birthday threads.

best way for mutuals to get things started with me is to throw a meme / random starter / unprompted stuff / yell @ me! my social battery fluctuates so response time also fluctuates.

shipping: i enjoy all types of ships (romantic, platonic, familial, antagonistic, you get it.) i'm a chemistry tester type of person. if i'm not feeling something, i'll say so, and you should too!

trigger warnings will be tagged with 'trigger //'. i ask for you to please tag usfw images, jumpscares and any media or material involving infidelity. infidelity is the biggest one for me so if you regularly post this, i will not follow / softblock.

please give me about two weeks to go through your blog! because of my activity level and my personal thing of wanting to read through all pages before hitting that follow button, it could take me a while to follow back. also, just because i'm active on the dash does not mean i've read your pages. sometimes, i'm not in the mental capacity to, and that's why i ask for time as well.

if you do not have any type of guidelines/rules/information on your pinned / carrd, etc. i will not be following back at all.

do not follow/unfollow/refollow me, please. if it's a tumblr glitch, that's fine. but if over time, you keep unfollowing then refollowing, i will hardblock you. it makes me uncomfortable.

* as noted in some of my ocs’ lore / blurbs, i’ve written them with connections to canon characters. so, i will be referencing them as people they know in interactions unless you write said characters themselves. if you write any of these characters themselves and you are uncomfortable with pre establishing connections, then we can plot around it / discuss it further. i’ll approach you about it before i write anything that would assume they know one another.
