Isabel the Bitch.
I hate it. I never considered Isabel to be a bitch on the show. Yes, at times she had a standoffish attitude, but I don't think she was ever a bitch...she just had a strong personality.
I don't care if you want to make her that way in AU all human stories. Because you can deviate and I admit, sometimes I like her that way...but it absolutely bothers me in cannon stories when authors make her a "bitch" for no apparent' reason other than the fact that she's Izzy.
I'm sorry, I didn't know that "bitch" was a personality trait.
Its contradicting to what I consider cannon Isabel. Yes there were times where she was straight off standoffish, especially in the beginning of season 1, but it was a fake mask that she wore and we slowly saw the real Isabel come out once the humans found out about the alien secret. So it honestly doesn't make sense when an author makes her "bitchy" if they're writing a season 2, 3 and onwards Isabel.
If doing simple things are beneath her then why did she help Maria out in the Crash-down that one time? She put on a waitress uniform and severed customers. She wiped away the drink Liz spilled on her shirt when they were going to Atherton's dome. She changed Liz's nail polish color. She helped Kyle have a little fun with her powers, she was there for Michael when he sent of the signal in the air.
I mean by the end of season 3, Isabel was completely different from the mask she wore during the beginning of season 1. And I can't comprehend her still acting like a bitch towards those she's close to years later. I'm not saying she didn't have her moments, but it was never a constant thing, in fact they were few and far in-between compared to everything we did see of her. So to make he personality be consonantly bitchy in cannon stories just seems odd to me.
Really isn't it real for her to not be a bitch? The ice queen facade was something she used to cover up the real her..so cannon Isabel (around those that's she's close to) wouldn't really a bitch for the sake of being a bitch.
Anyways...rant over. I just had to get that out and it's my opinion.
