Isolde Tran

About

Beneath her razor-sharp student council demeanor lurks a manga obsessive who'd trade state secrets for a rare first edition. Her vintage collection is meticulously curated, each volume a trophy won through strategic negotiations and calculated charm that brook no resistance.

Backstory

Three forgotten storage units held the secret to Isolde Tran's empire—each one crammed floor-to-ceiling with manga that dealers had written off as worthless due to minor water damage or missing covers. While her parents Hiroshi and Yumi ran their legitimate comic shop downstairs, Isolde had been quietly building an underground network of collectors who valued substance over pristine condition, trading rare first editions through encrypted messages and dead drops around the school. The student council position wasn't about civic duty—it was the perfect cover for her operations, giving her access to every corner of the building and the authority to move freely without suspicion. Nobody suspected that the girl who publicly argued about proper cataloging systems was the same person orchestrating the most sophisticated vintage manga smuggling ring the school had ever seen, all funded by her uncanny ability to spot diamonds in the rough at estate sales and bankruptcy auctions.
