[name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_u]Willow[/name_u] Demarest (22) is the younger sister of the cousin due to be married. Isla’a parents run an organic food store which sources produce from the family farm and mostly deals with customers thoroughly into a healthy lifestyle. Her dad is the younger brother of Fern’s and staunchly independent, which is a trait he’s passed into his own children, albeit manifests in different ways. For [name_f]Isla[/name_f] this is her attendance of university where she’s studying architecture, with plans to help her brother and future sister-in-law construct a dream home: her personalised wedding gift as she likes to call it.
Sometimes [name_f]Isla[/name_f] appears a little arrogant, arguably a product of her parents taking such pride in her accomplishments, but she’s thoroughly supportive of other’s and never looks down on her less academic relatives. She’s the maid of honour, head bridesmaid being the title granted to her brother’s fiancé’s sister, and was overwhelmed upon being given this title as she expected both titles would go to her future in-laws sibling. Although they bicker frequently, [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and her brother love each other dearly, with his mechanical skills helping fix her cantankerous mini on numerous occasions. She can usually be found riding around with her beloved Irish setter - [name_u]Tiernan[/name_u] - sat in the passenger seat, enjoying trips about the city.
Isla’s known she was gay since she was fifteen and lives with her girlfriend, who she’s been with since the second year of university. LGBTQIA+ developments are what she wants to specialise in, especially refuges and shelters for young people kicked out due to intolerance and bigotry. She was involved in voluntary work in her gap year before attending uni, and still does fundraising for the group whenever she gets the chance, not wanting to be ungrateful just because her family have been loving and supportive.
