via NBC Insider:

La Brea's impressive ensemble cast brings plenty of drama to the NBC 
sci-fi series, leading to wild fan theories and a finale that left us 
with plenty of questions. And one of our favorite characters? Izzy 
(Zyra Gorecki), the youngest member of the Harris family who, with 
her father, is determined to save her mom and brother. Below, 
everything we know about Gorecki and what's next for her character 
Izzy.  

Who is Zyra Gorecki?

Gorecki is a Michigan model who, like her character Izzy, is an 
amputee. The actress lost her leg in a logging accident when she was 
14 years old.  

"As an amputee, you bring a totally different mental state to a 
character with an amputation," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "For 
Izzy, I know what it´s like to experience the pain, the emotion, the 
life that comes with being an amputee. So I understand her reactions 
and choices in a way that a fully limbed person wouldn´t."
