personality // izzie is the polar opposite of her older brother. while ricky is relatively quiet and avoids confrontation at all costs, isabelle literally never shuts up and thrives in dramatic situations. while some people find her overly dramatic and annoying, her friends find it somewhat endearing. izzie is a determined girl, and she doesn't let much get to her. she loves theatre, and she loves it a whole lot.
love interest // gina porter | EJ caswell
relationship with gina // izzie had a crush on gina from the moment she met her, so naturally she decided to try and become friends with her. gina shut her out and tried to ignore her, but when they ended up splitting the dance captain role (along with playing taylor and ryan), they were forced to become closer. they ended up liking each other a lot and had a lot in common. the two girls went on their first date over winter break and have been together ever since.
OR
relationship with EJ // izzie and EJ had a complicated start. ashlyn and isabelle had been best friends since they met in daycare as kids, and as EJ kind of filled the annoying older brother/cousin role for ashlyn, izzie didn't like him. but in high school, izzie started to like the older boy a little bit more. they got even closer when EJ joined the theatre department and started talking to her more, and started dating three weeks after he and nini broke up.
close friends // kourtney greene, nini salazar-roberts, big red redonovich, ej caswell, gina porter, carlos rodrigues
best friends // sebastian matthew-smith and ashlyn caswell
relationship with ricky // ricky and izzie are extremely close. ricky's protective over her, and while it drives her absolutely crazy, she can appreciate it sometimes. although she'd never admit it, she loves her brother a lot and looks up to him.
