PhysicalAppearance: It's hard not to notice Isabel Evans as she walks down the hallway. At 5'9" she's by far taller than most girls and isn't afraid to wear heels and stand up straight. Her poise makes it clear that she's not ashamed of towering over much of the student body. Even though she's tall, lanky is the furthest thing from describing her body type. She likes to refer to her figure as 'classic' and its shape could only be referred to as hourglass.
With a girl like her, it's hard to say what catches a person's eye first. The height, the figure clad in perfectly fit clothing of the latest style? Perhaps it's the way that her dark blonde hair has been brushed to perfection, hanging perfectly to frame her face and bounce as she walks. Or maybe it's her face, a perfect oval of sunkissed tan, sparkling gray-green eyes above a well proportioned nose and full gentle lips. Despite her attention to fashion and beauty, the girl doesn't wear too much make-up, not wanting to overdo any of it.
Played-By: Katherine Heigl
Personality: On the outside, Isabel Evans is cold and unfeeling. The stereotypical popular girl, she doesn't waste time with those she finds to be beneath her. Truthfully she seems to find most people beneath her. She's quick to anger and is definitely a perfectionist. Her reactions when things go poorly is not favorable but fortunately her high organizational skills keep things from going wrong most of the time. It is this perfectionist attitude that has gotten her dubbed 'The Christmas Nazi' by those around her. Family and tradition are important to this girl, attributes most credit towards her desire for perfection.
The inside of this almost perfect girl is one of turmoil and fear, however. Isabel's confidence is only a guise for the angst causing knowledge of knowing she's not human. She feels that perhaps, if she can get others to believe in her perfection, it will make up for her alien DNA. She knows her life is a lie and some days its hard to keep the facade going. Her control freak tendencies come from the need to know that there are some things she can truly control.
Of the aliens, she's definitely the one most easily able to fit in with human society. Despite her popularity and numerous friends, lunchtime and after school are spent with Max and Michael. She often acts as a mediator between the two, trying to keep tensions low. She is a peace-keeper but will give in to Max's decisions no matter how much she disagrees with them. Within her human family she's the one who is the most family oriented. She loves her parents fiercely and is always willing to go out of her way for them as well. She's always up for game night, no matter how uncool that might seem.
Despite the stress associated with being an alien, there are times when Isabel likes it. She's the most cavalier in their usage, playing cds, heating her food, changing her makeup. She understands there is at least one upside to things and that is almost enough to keep her optimistic.

Friends: Michael Guerin
Relationships - Past/Current/Future: No past or current. I would be willing to explore Isabel/Michael or Isabel/Alex if the situation set itself up correctly.
Personal History: The 1947 Crash Some have called it a weather balloon, others a military training incident gone awry. Whatever the reasoning, it's been called one of the biggest coverups of all time and has helped to put the small town of Sunnydale on any Alien Fanatic's map. Over the past sixty years, rumors have circulated and even now people keep uncovering new evidence to prove alien existence.
Ten Years Ago It was at the age of six that life truly started for Isabel, then unnamed. She, Max, and Michael 'hatched' from their pods, leaving behind the final member of their quartet. This incident is not something the girl remembers. Her memory begins at the point where she, Max, and Michael were wandering naked in the desert. There were headlights and, scared, Michael ran off and Max and Isabel were found by the couple that would eventually become their adoptive parents. The two were estimated to be around six and Diane and Philip Evans gained custody of the odd pair and assigned them names and birthdays. Isabel cried for days at the loss of Michael and knew, even then, what an integral part of her life he was.
Seven Years Ago It was three years before Isabel and Max reconnected with Michael, though since then they've spent very little time apart. Their family, at that point, was actually complete. Unfortunately Michael's life was never as nice as the one the Evans had. His foster parents didn't keep him too long and never treated him well.
Other As the three grew older they established a set of rules to follow. Not to use their powers in view of others, or even possibly in view of others and, most importantly, NEVER tell anyone about them. They had realized they had powers and realized they were not human. Though they truly didn't remember anything before their parents found them, they did know they were different. Perhaps, of anybody, this was hardest for Isabel. There have been numerous times when she wanted to tell her mother and has begged Max to let her in the past. But no one ever gave in. Though she fits into the human world better than the others, her existence is still a lonely one.
Storylines: I'd definitely love to explore the aliens having to work to hide their identities. That's a big part of Isabel's growth as a person and helps establish her friendships with the humans from the show's canon. I'm really excited to develop Isabel's personal growth. As far as whole game plots are concerned, I don't have any in mind yet, but when I do I'll let you know!
SAMPLESJournal Entry: I wonder sometimes how life is for those on the other side.
Not the human side In a way I have Michael to look at for that, but even though his family life isn't the best, his big issue is self-imposed exile. Same with Max. Either could be popular if they tried, they just don't seem to want to be social. But other people. The truly strange people. The ones you only notice when you have to. What's it like for them? Do they get jealous or do they simply band together with one another and find happiness that way? I find myself wondering if they think the same things I do. If they look at people like me, or my friends, and pity us. They say the grass is always greener on the otherside but sometimes I wonder if the grass is always browner too. More brown? Either way.
I'm getting older now. For some reason being a sophomore makes me feel like I have a lot more rights than I did as a freshman. Sure we're not upperclassman and there won't be proms or anything, but at least I'm not a freshman anymore. I've always had the advantage, at least, of looking older than my age, but even so, being at the bottom sucks. Max and I can drive now too, which is fantastic. Mom and Dad gave us this old run down jeep and despite it's haggard appearance? I really like it. I think they were worried that I wouldn't, but it's got personality. Plus there's the added bonus of the sand colored vehicle making me look even better by comparison right? We usually drive with the top down and it gives my hair a nice tousled look when we get to school. I'm not sure how I'll feel about that every day but for now it's nice.
Anyway, I guess that's enough babble for now right? Mom and Dad are waiting for us to play a board game and it seems like Max is done what he was doing. Despite how dorky it may sound, I love game nights. Spending time with your family can be incredible.
