Isma is cheerful, independent and straightforward. Years of living apart from the village have made her self-sufficient rather than withdrawn, and she enthusiastically welcomes the arrival of Guts's group.
She is particularly comfortable around the sea. Fishing is both livelihood and identity, and she takes pride in abilities that rival those of experienced islanders.
Isma's friendship with Isidro develops through their similar energy and curiosity. Their interactions frequently contain teasing, but she also trusts him during dangerous situations.
