Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- As a Secret Service agent, she investigated the counterfeiting case conducted by Ricky Tan, and in this investigation she went further than Lee and Carter.
- She infiltrated the Triad as a mole to investigate the case in more detail. It got to the point where Ricky Tan began to trust her.
- Although Lee and Carter were spying on her while she was undressing, and she seemed to have figured it out, she still wasn't mad at them.
- She revealed to Lee and Carter the counterfeiting case, which was handled by Ricky Tan.
- She saved Lee and Carter from Hu Li when she wanted to kill them. And although she stunned Lee and told him to kidnap him and Carter, she did it only to avoid giving herself away, and she was counting on them to get out, which happened.
- After meeting Lee at the casino, she told him about Ricky Tan's whereabouts, and he headed there. Although Ricky Tan thought that she had deliberately lured him into a trap, this was actually not the truth.
- When she was left alone with the captive Lee and Hu Li, who was about to brutally torture him, Isabella finally gave herself away and engaged in battle with Hu Li, thereby saving Lee from her. Although she quickly lost to Hu Li due to her less martial arts experience, she still fought bravely with her until she was injured in the arm.
- When she was saved by Lee, she confessed her love for him, and he never doubted her good intentions.
- In general, her role in defeating Ricky Tan was key, since it was she who told Lee and Carter about his true crimes, and also saved their lives on several occasions.
- Even after being seriously injured, she recovered and returned to the Secret Service to continue her heroic deeds.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- She had a jerky moment when Hu Li gave her an apple, and Isabella replied to her very rudely: "I'd put that knife away, b**ch, before you have an accident." Although Hu Li deserved it, and her friendliness was far from sincere, it was still very rude of Isabella.
- She can sometimes be reckless, as she framed Lee and Carter twice, which is why Ricky Tan and Hu Li kidnapped and almost killed them, and she did this in order to gain Tang's trust. Although she acted according to the plan, and planned to save them and hoped that they would get out, she still could not fully think through the actions of the Ricky Tan and Hu Li, from which they could kill Lee and Carter.
