It's weird...A few months ago we were strangers. Now I can't handle the thought of her dying in twenty years. I guess...I have somebody to fight for now.

Isabelle Delores Monday is a performer at O, Fortuna and a member of the Pioneer City Resistance. She is the deuteragonist of Pandora's Tale.
Isabelle always had a passion for dancing. At some point, she figured out her own gender.[c3p3]
At the age of 19, Isabelle began working at O, Fortuna.[c6p4]
She was a waitress for some time before becoming a professional dancer.[c6p8]
Isabelle felt her life really fell into place when she joined the resistance.[c3p3]
At some point prior to 2068, Isabelle became a patient of Noor Shah at Circle Grove Clinic.
In 2068, Isabelle accompanied the resistance to hijack a crashed delivery drone in the desert.[c1p15] Upon learning the drone contained a person,[c1p16], Isabelle immediately went to open it.[c1p18] What Isabelle didn't know is that the box contained a gas which causes the Helper inside to view the next person they see as their owner.[c1p19] Hence, when Isabelle opened the box, Pandora declared her purpose was to serve Isabelle, leaving Isabelle and the rest of the resistance shocked.[c1p20]

For relations with the other main characters, see those characters' articles.
Isabelle and Con appear to be close friends[c2p2][c2p9][c7p9]. Con calls Isabelle an idealist[c1p17], Con appeared happy to see Isabelle getting along with Pandora[c2p3][c2p7], and Isabelle was quick to confide in Con about Pandora[c3p5].
When Isabelle wanted to go out with Zufolene and Tallulah, she entrusted Con to watch Pandora[c5p2].
Con worried Isabelle would be angry that Con let Pandora do something dangerous[c5p4][c5p8][c5p12], a fear which was ultimately justified[c5p21].
After Isabelle learned that Pandora is expected to have a short life, Con was able to console Isabelle[c7p9], reminding her why the resistance fights[c7p10].
When Echo called Con "darling," Isabelle was amused.[c10p18]
Isabelle works with Hemmel in the resistance[c3p10]. Hemmel was also diligent in trying to make sure Isabelle got paid, and Hemmel referred to Isabelle as a colleague.[c4p15] After Pandora went on an outing with the resistance, Hemmel assured Isabelle that no one was hurt.[c9p8]. Isabelle and Hemmel play Land of Legends: Lost together.[c10p8]
Isabelle works with Natalya in the resistance[c3p10]. Natalya has a crush on Isabelle[c3p11][c5p4].
Doctor Shah is Isabelle's doctor[c2p10] and Resistance buddy[c2p13]. Doctor Shah wants Isabelle to stay out of trouble[c2p10], and she warned Isabelle of the challenge involved in caring for Pandora[c2p14].
Isabelle was shocked when Doctor Shah and Pandora told her about Helper lifespans[c6p4][c6p18], and Doctor Shah tried to console Isabelle[c7p3]. Doctor Shah was also angry at Isabelle when she found out Pandora shot someone, though Isabelle denied responsibility[c6p6].
Isabelle had enough trust in Doctor Shah to bring Pandora to see her both for endocrine health[c2p12] and for therapy[c8p6].
Isabelle has worked for Miss Fortuna since Isabelle was 19[c6p4], and Miss Fortuna thinks of Isabelle as her protege[c4p2]. Miss Fortuna explains what Helpers are to Isabelle[c1p17], and she reassures Isabelle when Isabelle is overwhelmed by finding Pandora[c2p1].
Isabelle appeared excited when Zero found Pandora's delivery drone[c1p16], and the most visibly horrified of the gathered resistance members when Zero suggested selling Pandora on the black market[c1p17]. Zero is indirectly responsible for Pandora imprinting on Isabelle, as Zero found and hacked Pandora's drone, and said the gas it contained was harmless[c1p18], forgetting to warn Isabelle that it causes Helpers to imprint upon the first human they see[c1p19][c1p20][c2p1].
Isabelle plays Land of Legends: Lost with Zero as the GM.[c10p8]
