Isabel

Isabel is a well-born distant relative of Arthur who, despite being formally engaged to Maynard, boldly declares herself Arthur's fiancée out of sheer competitive pride, treating Mary as a rival to be defeated. Her outward demeanor is haughty and frequently hostile, yet beneath that surface lies a genuinely good-natured person. In truth, she has harbored a secret childhood crush on her longtime companion Maynard, and her sharp words and actions conceal someone who is deeply awkward when it comes to expressing her true feelings.
