Iskah is my original character and her look is inspired by a combination of Jewish folklore and the beauty of Amazigh Jewish women.

Name story:

יִסְכָּה - anglicized as Yiska, Iskah, Iscah, etc - is a Hebrew name derived from an Aramaic root which indicates a meaning of prophetic foresight. The mention of Iskah, coming from the family of the Patriarch and Matriarch, is brief and its meaning uncertain as she is never mentioned again.

Iskah is named this in memory of her grandfather, whose name was Itzhak (Yitzhak, יִצְחָק‎). She is affectionately called "Iskaleh."
The "disappearance" of the first Iskah the Torah is paralleled in my Iskah's "disappearance" from her dimension. The name's first bearer and its meaning allude to her future role in her story.

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.
