Isabelle is a really strong female character, Clary is to, but with her its more this undeniably visible fierceness. She grew up in a world made up of, predominately, male shadowhunters so she continually has to prove herself, yet she remains true to herself and doesn't conform. She is, in short, incredible.
I love Isabelle, she can kill demons in stilletos, i can't even walk in them so she therefore holds my eternal reverence.
I've only read 202 pages of the first book so far, but she's my favorite character. Everything about her is awesome. She reminds me of Katniss from "The Hunger Games" for some really weird reason. I agree with all of the people who posted above--I couldn't have stated it better myself. I just love her!
Awesome gurl. Pretty, fierce and a friend of Jace! what more can I say, She is caring and thoughtful but loyal and protective of the ones she loves!

Mmm I think she is strong like Katniss but more brittle - more unpredictable and fiery. Perhaps Katniss is just 'older' because of the horror she has endured: she has to be selfless enough to volunteer instead of Prim but ruthless enough to survive in the games.
i think isabelle is one of the most complex characters I think she's the one we see all sides too; beauty, strength, vulnerability, loneliness, bravery......
I agree with you Fari, but she is also soft somewhere deep, deep down.
Definately, just because she's strong and georgeus dosen't mean she dosen't have emotions and problems. That's what makes her great, she may be awesome but she's still just a girl.
Isabelle is awesome! I rarely laugh out loud reading books, but between her and Jace I`m always chuckling!
Isabelle is eveything a women is thought to be, and everything they are not. I mean she has perfect fashion sense, but can also slay demons and kill thing...all while keeping her hair perfect, as Clary says
Isabelle screams girl power, sexiness, feminism, and awesome-ness, and that's why I love her so much. :)
I really liked Isabelle when I first read the books, but she kind of lost her flare in the second part of the series, my perspective. I liked how she used a unique weapon, a whip. I don't think I've ever read about a YA character who wielded a whip, lol! I do really like her relationship with Simon though. I think Isabelle is truly herself with him.
I Love Isabelle! BTW! Im fairly new to Goodreads and dont have friends so if you guys good PLEASE add me i love YA books. and romance books! Thanks :)
Oh, I loved Isabelle! When I started reading these books, immediately,I was like THIS is the girl to be! She's super gorgeous, bad ass and tough, but still girly!
@Stormy I do agree with you though. I've only read the first 4 books and by the end of the 4th one, there was something different about her!
I never had paid really attention to Isabelle until the fourth and fifth book when we finally get to see some personal interaction of her and I just feel for her. She's fierce not just because her abilities of killing demons, but also because of everything she had been through and is still able to open herself. I just love her.
Would've been cool if we got a spin off story on isabelle :P or like a novella about her pre-clary haha
At first, in the first bit of City of Bones, I actually hated her because she was so mean to Clary and was playing with Simon, but she definitely grew on me. She is a really strong, badass female heroine and is one of my favourite characters in the series. And I like how she grew to like Simon for real.

An admirable triple threat, she has the beauty, the brains and a remarkable gift for slaying demons in stilettos, need I say more?
Isabelle is so brave, strong, sexy, fashion and she is the best female character of The Mortal Instruments Series.
I am currently re-reading TMI and Isabelle is such a queen. She is strong and doesn't need a man to do anything for her. One of my favorite female characters honestly.
The thing I like most about Isabelle is that she is independent she doesn't need a man to support her. She is so bold and knows how to make her desicions. She is perfect example of GIRL POWER!!
