Izzy Gottschalk is a naive girl. Her family was quite strange, and her upbringing even stranger. Her Falkovnian father, Jens Gottshalk, spent his days in a bar. Occasionally he would be forced to travel to Darkon. Though Izzy never new for sure, she heard he was a Talon and was sent on missions to various places. He fell in love with a young lady name Catalin Ondyne. He took her home to Falkovnia as a prize. When she later became pregnant, he began to disown her, though he kept her around most of the time.
Catalin was a devout Ezrite, and Jens hated it. What Jens hated more is that he knew she would raise his child to be an Ezrite while he was away on 'business'. He told Catalin that if he was allowed to name their offspring, he would not kill it. Catalin agreed. When Izzy Gottshalk was born, Jens proudly named her Ezra. He knew this name would anger his wife and all those of the church. He had hoped that Ezra would not be allowed to attend church due to her blasphemous name. Catalin resorted to teaching her young daughter at home.
Ezra picked up the nickname "Izzy" very early in life. Her mother called her that. Izzy didn't have many friends due to her tainted blood. Everyone knew she was part Darkonese. One day when Izzy was about fifteen years of age, her father was called to go back to Darkon, to explore some old crypts, he never returned. It was not long before her mother ran out of money and they were thrown onto the streets.
Shortly after Ezra's sixteenth birthday, around the time her mother died of heat stroke, she began to develop another personality. She no longer called herself "Izzy", but rather Ezra. She became blasphemous and brave. Normally Izzy was very fearful and naive. When she was Ezra, she was a whole new person. Sometimes she claimed to be the goddes herself! Other times, she was plain old Izzy.
One day, dressed in rags, Ezra decided to go find her lost followers. She followed her feet to Barovia.
