History
Early life
Princess Isabel was the second-born of King Raul and Queen Lucia where she lived a happy life alongside her family, which consisted her parents and her older Elena, their maternal grandparents Francisco and Luisa, their orphaned maternal first cousin, Esteban, and their paternal first cousin, Cristobal. Isabel found a knack for inventing and engineering, a trait that was admired by her family and friends. She shared her family's love for many holidays, including Dia De Los Muertos, Noche Buenes, and Carnaval.
One seemingly normal day, when Isabel was 10 years old, her parents and cousin had left the palace to work on the float for that year's upcoming Carnaval. Isabel spent the entire day making a feeder for the jaquins, Migs, Luna, and Skylar, resulting in her making a mess on herself, of which Elena had helped her clean in light of their parents' return home for dinner. This would be the last time Elena and Isabel would see each other; Moments later, the evil power hungry sorceress from the Northern Islands known as Shuriki, invaded Avalor and killed their parents. As the sorceress bore down on the palace, the royal wizard, Alacazar, cast a spell on Isabel and her grandparents to place them in an enchanted painting, impervious to Shuriki's magic, whilst Elena confronted Shuriki in order to spare her family. In the end, Elena was defeated by Shuriki and trapped inside her Amulet prompting Alacazar to embark on a journey to free her.
Within the years that followed since Shuriki's takeover, Isabel and her grandparents remained imprisoned within the magical painting, as Shuriki's ban on magic besides her own, prevented any chances of Alacazar's spell being broken. Unable to destroy the painting and the family trapped within it, Shuriki eventually had the tapestry cover it, and soon, Princess Isabel and her grandparents, much like Elena herself were assumed dead.
Appearances
Elena and the Secret of Avalor
41 years later, when Elena is freed from the Amulet, she attempts to use Shuriki's wand to strike her down in revenge for her family. Her attempts fail, and instead she blasts the tapestry, revealing Isabel and her grandparents magically sealed in a painting to protect them from Alacazar.
Elena is distraught at what has become of her family, which allows Shuriki to gain the upper hand, hunting down Elena and Sofia. Soon, Elena discovers from Alacazar's daughter Rafa, the spell to free them from the painting, but warns her of the danger that she will put them in if she revives them with Shuriki still in power. Elena and her friends still take the risk, infiltrating the palace and using a spell performed by Mateo to free Isabel, Fransico, and Luisa, who are horrified to learn that Shuriki still rules Avalor.
Isabel soon joined Elena's revolution, helping defeat Shuriki and liberate the kingdom.
Elena of Avalor
Season One
In the series that takes place after the crossover special, Isabel is a major character alongside with the rest of her family.
In "Model Sister", it is shown that Isabel's relationship with her older sister is becoming strained due to the fact that Elena's new role as the ruler of Avalor has given her an extremely busy schedule. She is especially angry with her sister when she discovers that Elena has been ditching her to attend King Toshi's visit when she needed her help with her invention. Elena makes it up to her by getting her invention ready in time for the Inventor's Fair.
In "A Day to Remember", Isabel does not want to celebrate Dia de Los Muertos since it reminds her that she no longer has her parents to turn to. Elena manages to get her to come by reminding her of all the happy times they had with their parents and why they celebrated the Day of the Dead. Feeling better, Isabel goes to the altar and puts a drawing of her parents on the altar alongside the food tribute. When she asks Elena if it is wrong that she believes their parents are still with them in some way, having just seen the spirits of Raul and Lucia smiling proudly at their daughters from the afterlife, Elena assures Isabel she believes as well.
In "The Scepter of Light", Isabel is looking forward to the Eclipse Festival and finds Armando's story about Orizaba highly amusing. During the eclipse, however, Orizaba is revealed to be real. When Elena and Mateo set out to defeat her and send her back, a concerned Isabel goes after her with Gabe. When they catch up to Elena, they accidentally ruin Elena's attempt to get rid of Orizaba by blocking out the magic light Elena is bathing the moth fairy in with the Royal Coach. It casts a shadow in the path of the light which restores some of Orizaba's powers. The moth fairy tries to attack Isabel, but Elena saves her by making their father's scepter glow so bright that the light defeats Orizaba. Elena then collapses to Isabel's concern. Isabel, Gabe, and Mateo take Elena back to the castle and put her to bed, where she stays for the next two days. When Elena wakes up, she reveals to a relieved Isabel that she gained magical abilities while she was imprisoned inside the amulet their mother gave her on her fifteenth birthday and that their father's scepter is also magical.
In "Navidad", Isabel is looking forward to spending Nochebuena with her friend Cristina after her father invites them to their village for the evening. However, Elena receives multiple invitations from other people who want her to attend their Navidad celebrations. Isabel supports Elena's attempts to compromise and all the while Isabel makes a Navidad Pinata. However, Doña Paloma ruins her sister's attempt by making everyone competitive to the point where everything gets ruined, including Isabel's pinata. The disaster makes Fernando decide to take Cristina home, to Isabel's sorrow. Elena fixes everything with a parranda, to Isabel's joy.
In "Olaball", Isabel meets up with King Joaquin again and becomes fast friends with his daughter Princess Caterina. She takes Cat on a tour through town. In town, they are wowed by the Voladores and Isabel tells Cat how she has always wondered how the tower works. The next day, Cat takes Isabel to the tower. Despite her misgivings about it, Isabel rides with Cat to the top where they get stuck. Gabe gets them down.
Season Two
In "Three Jaquins and a Princess", Isabel shows off her latest invention, only for an accident with it to annoy Esteban, who reprimands her, hurting her feelings. As a result, as Elena consoles her, Migs arrives with his new mate, Dulce, who soon lays three eggs that will hatch into their new children. After she leaves to find Anoki Berries for their babies to eat, the eggs hatch, and Migs leaves to go help her, while Elena tells Isabel to summon her for help if she needs it when Isabel offers to watch them for Migs and Dulce. However, Isabel soon learns how difficult it is to watch the babies as they grow restless and cranky without the Anoki Berries, and she is forced to chase one of them to the kitchen, just barely hiding it from Elena when she finds Isabel in the kitchen, and Isabel is forced to lie to her big sister to convince her everything's fine. However, when one of the babies drinks Mateo's Enlarging Potion and all three ruin the Bake-Off that Elena was judging, Isabel feels guilty over not telling Elena the truth that she was struggling with watching the babies, and after Elena voices her disappointment and anger with her little sister, working with Mateo, Skylar, and Luna, they are able to round the babies up and return the one affected by Mateo's Enlarging Potion to normal before Migs and Dulce return. Once they do, they and Isabel give names to the babies, and after Esteban also makes amends with Isabel for helping her with her invention, Isabel is allowed to go play with Mingo, Zoom, and Estrella.
As Elena and the others prepare for the Jaquin Festival in "A Spy in the Palace", Isabel is with Mingo, Zoom, and Estrella as Migs, Luna, and Skylar are practicing their flyover for the ceremony. After they finish, Isabel offers to improve it by equipping them with her latest invention, Sky Painters. However, when Migs see Skylar and Luna messing around with them, he changes his mind and quits. Isabel talks to him about how he'll let his cubs down if he doesn't perform in the flyover, convincing him to rejoin Luna and Skylar for the performance as they do their tricks before King Verago, Chief Zephyr, and other Jaquins in attendance at the festival. Isabel is unaware that Carla Delgado is with her big sister, in disguise as Armando's distant cousin "Rita Perez", preparing to steal her mother's crown jewel for Shuriki.
In "Science Unfair", Isabel is making a presentation on a volcano to her class, but none of them are interested in it until her classmates offer to help demonstrate how a volcano erupts, though Isabel was hesitant to do so. After showing it off, Isabel's teacher is so impressed that she makes Isabel the school representative in the Avalor Science Fair, where Isabel will have her entry judged by Professor Ochoa, who is Isabel's idol. As Isabel leaves with the class guinea pigs, Peaches & Paco, her teacher reminds her of how to care for them, giving her a perfect idea for her project. However, after Isabel gets home and begins work on the blueprints, her classmates arrive to help. Isabel is hesitant to accept their help, wanting to do the project on her own in order to impress Professor Ochoa, so she tricks them into looking for a part she needs, allowing her to work on it her way, only for the project to go haywire during its test run, and her friends return with what they think is what Isabel was looking for, which ends up destroying the project completely. Frustrated, Isabel snaps at her friends that she lied to them and did not want their help, causing them to leave, upset at her. Elena soon arrives to confront her little sister about her actions and reveals that when she became Crown Princess, she thought she could handle things on her own, without the need of a Grand Council, but soon learned that having friends to turn to for help and assistance was a good idea. Through song, Elena convinces Isabel to apologize and ask her friends for their help again, and though hesitant at first, her classmates agree to help once more. They finish the project together, and at the science fair, Professor Ochoa is so impressed that she names Isabel the winner, offering her a once a week class at the Science Academy with her, which Isabel accepts, only after refusing at first to accept unless her classmates could join her, which her friends assure that they don't mind if they can't join her at the Science Academy. Elena and Isabel are still unaware of Carla's deception, and now planning on reviving Fiero to aid Shuriki in her second attempt to conquer Avalor.
In "Rise of the Sorceress", Isabel is preparing to celebrate the Sunflower Festival with a dance that she had not done since the last time she performed it alongside Elena with King Raul and Queen Lucia. As she, Elena, and Luisa prepare for it, Isabel invites her classmate Cristina to take part, though Cristina is hesitant because of her paraplegic state, and has a hard time remembering the moves. However, seeing her father in the audience encouraging her, Cristina is able to gain enough confidence to perform perfectly with Elena, Isabel, and Luisa.
Upon discovering that Shuriki is still alive with the Delgados and Fiero assisting her, Isabel fears for her and her family's safety, as they are once again the sorceress's prime targets. In "The Race for the Realm," whilst en-route to find the Scepter of Night, Elena has a PTSD flashback to the day of Shuriki's invasion, remembering her final interaction with her younger sister Isabel before witnessing Shuriki attack their parents.
In "A Tale of Two Scepters", Isabel is worried about Elena being at her training in Vallaestrella with Shuriki still out there, and gives her sister a bracelet for good luck before Elena leaves with Skylar to begin her training with Quita Moz and the other Sun Bird Elders. Isabel later heads to her tower to practice her musical instruments, unaware she is seen by Shuriki on Cruz, being pursued by Elena and Skylar. Shuriki soon engulfs the tower in fire using the Scepter of Night's inferno spell to act as a distraction for Elena while she escapes. However, Isabel is unaware of the danger she's in as she practices, and it prevents her from hearing Elena and Gabe as they try to warn her. It is only after Elena puts the fire out with her Blaze and Gabe cheers her on for it that Isabel emerges from her tower to complain to Gabe to keep it down as she's trying to practice before Elena dismounts from Skylar to reunite with her little sister, who's happy to see her. Later on, Elena shows Isabel what Shuriki and Fiero are up to with the Farsight spell she learned from the sunbirds, seeing them fleeing into the jungle on Cruz and Vestia. With Isabel now fully accepting Elena's training, giving her big sister her full support, Isabel wishes Elena good luck as she leaves again on Skylar to resume her training.
Isabel soon begins her first class with Professor Ochoa at the Science Academy in "Class Act", but soon runs into trouble in the form of Javier, who believes himself to be better than the other students, and even goes so far as to insult Isabel about how she got enrolled in the Academy, much to Elena and Isabel's fury. Javier then goes even further as he sabotages the project that Isabel and her partner Tomiko were working on regarding the observatory that would be built on Mount Diablo, causing it to malfunction. Heartbroken in thinking she is not ready for the Academy, Isabel quits in shame, but Elena convinces her that she would be disappointing Ochoa if she quit, and Isabel returns to the Academy to attempt her project again, this time using some Avaloran Rubber she made earlier to make the project even better, showing up Javier, who goes back to his seat in a fuming huff, only to drop the piece he swiped from Isabel and Tomiko's original project, exposing him as the one who sabotaged their work. His excuses for why he did it fall on deaf ears with Elena, Isabel, Tomiko, and Ochoa, who furiously punishes Javier by suspending him from the project until further notice and ordering him out of the classroom now that she knew the truth. Isabel is allowed to continue her studies with Ochoa after that.
In the one-hour Season 2 midseason finale, "Song of the Sirenas," Isabel joins her grandparents, Elena, and Esteban with visiting their summer palace in Nueva Vista, ruled by Isabel and Elena's cousin, Duke Cristobal Castillo. However, following a parade that was held in Elena's honor, Isabel is horrified when she finds herself face-to-face with Shuriki for the first time in two years, accompanied by all her allies in Fiero, Victor, Carla, Cruz, and Vestia. Isabel is locked in the tower with her family and is later joined by Elena, placed in the tower by their traitorous cousin, Duke Cristóbal. Thankfully, they are busted out by Gabe, Mateo, and Naomi on Migs, Luna, and Skylar. They attempt to escape back to Avalor City on their yacht they arrived in Nueva Vista on, but are pursued by Shuriki on the Duke's yacht. Luckily, King Pescoro and his Sirenas appear to help Elena and her family out, having learned from his son, Crown Prince Marzel, that his daughter, Crown Princess Marisa, had been locked up with Elena. Isabel and her grandparents are escorted below deck as their ship escapes, whilst Elena and her allies face off against Shuriki's army.
By the time Isabel and her family return to Nueva Vista that evening, Elena announces that Shuriki is gone for good, having defeated her in combat moments earlier. Isabel is relieved that the nightmare is over and that Shuriki can never threaten them again. Isabel then watches as her traitorous cousin is sentenced to incarceration by Elena for his treason, and Elena forms a newfound friendship and alliance with King Pescoro and his Sirenas.
Isabel later returns to Avalor City to celebrate Navidad in "Snow Place Like Home", however, she soon leaves with Francisco and Luisa to deliver gifts to Cristina and is unaware of what happens while she is gone regarding the Delgados and the blizzard they summon. When she returns with her grandparents, she celebrates Navidad with the rest of her family, along with those of Naomi and Mateo as well.
Season Three
Following her graduation in the Season 3 premiere, "Sister of Invention", Isabel feels confident enough to aid Elena on her search for Ash and Carla Delgado, but Elena is against the idea due to Isabel's age and concern for her well-being. In a bid to prove herself to her big sister, Isabel stows away on the carriage, but after causing Naomi, Gabe, and Mateo to attack each other when they mistake her for the female Delgados, she then focuses on some blue lava rocks that could have only come from the Xotep Volcano while Elena is venting her fury at Isabel for her disobedience. After Isabel agrees to stay in the carriage as they head for the volcano, in the end, Isabel is the hero of the day when she saves her big sister from dangling over a cliff with her inventions at the cost of Ash and Carla escaping in the meantime. Elena then agrees to add Isabel to the team, but still grounds her little sister for disobeying her.
In the one-hour special, "The Magic Within," an older Isabel prepares with her family for the upcoming Carnaval, and invites Elena in on the festivities following Ash's arrest. She observes Elena's new scepter abilities to reveal visions of the truth. It's because of these visions that Isabel along with the rest of her family discover Esteban's secret of having helped Shuriki invade Avalor. The Carnaval parade commences the next day, following Esteban being sentenced to permament exile, much to Isabel and Elena's sorrow. However, the news of Esteban's escape alongside the Delgados angers Elena, triggering her emotion magic to bring the floats to life and stampede across the terrain, endangering Isa and her family. Elena is able to save them by singing Queen Lucia's song, "Love Always" to calm the floats down, and, in spite of losing Esteban, is able to continue the celebration.
In "Dreamcatcher," Isabel attempts to talk to Elena about Esteban and his betrayal, but Elena refuses, believing that saying his name will trigger her emotion magic. This results in Elena's emotions manifesting in her dreams, bringing them to life, and summoning Esteban himself. This forces Elena to confront her feelings on her cousin, sending him away and bringing the palace back to normal. Soon, Elena and her sister can have a civil discussion about their cousin.
In "Shooting Stars", Isabel reunites with Tomiko to work on the observatory telescope to help out Francisco with seeing a comet he had been longing to see. When the telescope is damaged by a storm, Isabel and Tomiko get Elena's help, despite Elena's injured arm, and although there are some setbacks, they manage to repair the telescope so Francisco can see the comet.
Later on, in "Heart of the Jaguar", Isabel is summoned with Elena to see Quita Moz, who reveals that he had been shown a vision of Isabel on the throne as heir after Elena, which is seen as a bad omen regarding Elena's test to become Queen. Unnerved by hearing that, Isabel is worried, so Quita Moz sends her and Elena to recover the Heart of the Jaguar. During the journey, Elena is turned into a Jaquin cub, which allows her and Isabel to recover the Crown Jewel the Jaguar King requested in return for the Heart of the Jaguar. However, when Isabel returns it to him, he refuses to trade the Heart for it, or turn Elena back to her human self, and traps Isabel in her Exergroomer. With help from her class guinea pigs, Isabel is able to escape, impressing the Jaguar King with her display of courage, so he agrees to return Elena to normal. Upon returning to Quita Moz, Isabel learns that the Heart of the Jaguar was really her own inner courage. She just needed to believe in herself.
In the series finale "Coronation Day", when Elena is sent to the Spirit World with Ash Delgado while trying to protect Nueva Vista and Coronado from her, Esteban, and their allies, Isabel, as heir to the throne and Crown Princess, is forced to deal with the Four Shades of Awesome when they and Esteban lay siege to Avalor and cause chaos all over the kingdom, having remembered that this was the omen Quita Moz saw in his earlier vision from the sacred fire. Rallying many of Avalor's allies to her aid, Isabel is able to send at least one of the Shades back to the Spirit World in Hetz by using his own powers against him, but the other three overwhelm her and her defenses. Thankfully, Elena returns with Quita Moz, the other Sun Birds, and King Verago with additional Jaquin support, and manage to send two more of the Shades back to the Spirit World in Vuli and Yolo, leaving only Cahu the Time Shade, the most dangerous of them, which forces Elena to have Naomi take Isabel to safety before Cahu can turn them into stone tablets like she did to Gabe and Mateo, and before Elena arrived, their grandparents as well. Only after Esteban sacrifices himself taking a shot Cahu aims at Elena, does Elena forgive him for his past crimes, including being responsible for Raul and Lucia's deaths, and the reunited cousins strip Cahu of her powers and banish her back to the Spirit World to join the other Shades, while Elena's emotion magic undoes all of their damage to Avalor, with Isabel relieved with Naomi when Gabe and Mateo are restored to flesh and blood unharmed. After Quita Moz proudly proclaims that Elena passed her test to become Queen, which was forgiving Esteban, the coronation proceeds without further trouble, with Elena momentarily pausing being crowned when the last guests show up: The Royal Family of Enchancia, the ones who helped her get to this point in her life, with Sofia, Amber, and James having aged into their teenager years very well. Once Elena is crowned Queen, she names Isabel as not just her heiress, but also the Royal Inventor. As the celebratory dance gets underway, Isabel is seen dancing with James while Elena dances with Sofia.
