"Hi, Phineas. Whatcha doin'?"

- Isabella's catchphrase.

"Calm down, girls. Have you forgotten who we are? We're Fireside Girls Troop 46321 and we never give up!"

- Isabella to Fireside Girls Troop 46231

 is the neighbor and best friend of Phineas and Ferb. Isabella has a very big crush on Phineas. She is the leader of Fireside Girls Troop 46231, and often volunteers to help in Big Ideas, usually with her troop involved.



Early Life
Isabella Garcia-Shapiro was born of Vivian Garcia-Shapiro and an unnamed father. She also has Mexican and Jewish roots. At some point in her life, she met and became friends with Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher (with Phineas becoming her crush which makes it hard for her to focus around him, usually daydreaming about her and Phineas's future together). She also joined the local troop of Fireside Girls, and became the troop's leader.

Present Life
Now the leader of the Fireside Girls, Isabella lives in Danville on Maple Drive, across from Phineas and Ferb with her mother, Vivian Garcia-Shapiro. She spends most of her days participating or helping with their many projects. She also spends time caring for her dog Pinky (who, like Perry, happens to be a secret Agent) or trying to earn Fireside Girls patches. She is also great friends with the members of her Fireside Girls troop, Gretchen, Milly, Ginger, Katie, Holly, and Adyson.

Personality


Isabella is happy, fearless, quick-thinking, sweet, optimistic, caring, friendly and spirited, eager to help with any of Phineas and Ferb's Big Ideas. Sometimes it's to earn patches, or simply because she has a crush on Phineas - she comes over every day just to see him. ("Rollercoaster: The Musical!") She is mostly optimistic, but she also cares for, and worries about people at times. This is shown when she is empathetic towards Candace having problems asking Jeremy out. ("Out to Launch") She also helped bring Phineas and Ferb out of a state of hypnotic dullness. ("Phineas and Ferb Interrupted") Being the leader of Fireside Girls 46231, she has fantastic leadership and organizational abilities, though she'll follow Phineas' orders as well. However, she gets jealous easily, and gets frustrated when some "thing" or someone that Phineas gives a lot of attention. ("The Chronicles of Meap", "That Sinking Feeling", "Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!") She also didn't like how Melissa showed more interest in Candace than her ("We Call it Maze") and was visibly angry when Suzy and Candace repeated her trademark "whatcha doin'?" ("Suddenly Suzy"). Isabella has shown at least twice that she has a devious streak, taking advantage of a situation for her own benefit. These instances include her immediately jumping on Baljeet's wager of squid versus Buford ("Voyage to the Bottom of Buford"). She also buys a play with the carny Shady Joe when a bowling ball Phineas and Ferb built knocks down all the pins (along with the stand), although Shady Joe is cheating by having the pins taped onto the shelf ("Bowl-R-Ama Drama").

Physical Appearance
Isabella has long, black, blue highlighted hair and oval shaped, dark blue eyes. She wears a fuschia-pink dress with a white T-shirt underneath and a deep purple belt, white socks and pink shoes with white laces. The pink bow in her hair is thought to be her trademark, and she has only been seen without it on a few occasions (see background information), but not without it on her head.

Her Fireside Girls uniform is the same format as her normal clothing, but with an orange top and a brown skirt on the dress. She wears an orange beret with a red bow in the front. Her belt is red, and she has a yellow accomplishment sash. She has white socks and red-orange shoes with yellow laces with this outfit.

For swimming, her swimsuit consists of a fuscha-pink, one-piece bathing suit and her trademark pink bow. For winter, she wears a purple hat with pale pink bow, purple coat, pale pink scarf (loose wrap), pale pink mittens, and white boots, and her pajamas have purple stripes and wears a purple bow.

Phineas Flynn
"Well, that's not the Phineas Flynn I fell in... to this situation with."

- Isabella almost revealing her crush on Phineas.

Isabella is Phineas's love-interest. She has romantic daydreams about him and believes she will one day marry him but gеts angry if he does not notice her or is oblivious to her hints, which is generally whenever she acts romantically around him ("Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo", "Isabella and the Temple of Sap", "Out to Launch", "Comet Kermillian", "Candace's Big Day", etc.). She admitted that the only reason for which she says her trademark phrase is for to capturing Phineas' attention ("Isabella and the Temple of Sap", "Rollercoaster: The Musical!")

One example of this is when Isabella and Phineas were alone in Paris looking for airplane parts, and Isabella was trying to be romantic, but Phineas seemed utterly oblivious to her. Then when the boat crash landed on the deserted island and Phineas was trying to find something to fix the boat, Isabella began to cry because Phineas didn't even take any notice of her and she would've given anything for Phineas to sit down next to her and enjoy the sunset. Then Phineas ran up next to her, having a small mental breakdown, desperately thinking of an idea to get off of the island. Figuring that none of the ideas would work, he gave up hope entirely and sat down with Isabella to enjoy the sunset with her. Seeing how broken Phineas was, Isabella realized that this wasn't the amazing, confident kid she had fallen in love with, so she gave him a pep talk, and almost admitting her love for him in the process, but she quickly caught herself and said something else. She then mentioned Ferb's map and Phineas thanked her for the inspiration with a hug, leaving her in a trance. Later when they make it back to Danville, Isabella hugs Phineas for regaining his confidence to achieve his goal. Not even 30 seconds later they sing a duet in with Phineas taking her hand several times and also showing several signs that he returns her feelings for him ("Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!").

When Phineas constructs a device to find cute things to search for Meap, he says he took Isabella's cuteness into account and adjusted the settings accordingly ("The Chronicles of Meap"). When he puts the settings back to normal, the device overloads from an excessively strong cute signal. She uses her position as Fireside Girls troop leader to stay near him and participate in his Big Ideas, under the guise of earning the "Help Thy Neighbor" patch. It is unsure whether Phineas has the same feelings towards Isabella, but mostly he seems oblivious. Phineas feels bad about ditching her, and also says that he cannot tell her he is The Beak because she is "close to him" ("The Beak"). Also, when Isabella tells Phineas he is brave, he replies with, "You were too!" She learns that she will be aunt to Candace's children. Although who she married was unknown, it will most likely be Phineas, since Phineas is now being shown returning Isabella's feelings. She sometimes disguises her affection for him (but very rarely) like hugging him in a crowd when everyone is hugging Perry, Isabella hugs Phineas instead of Perry ("Oh, There You Are, Perry"). Major Monogram and Carl were forced to use Doofenshmirtz's Amnesia-Inator on the whole Danville crew due to the fact that they have seen Perry in agent form. Knowing that nobody will remember the day, Isabella kissed Phineas right before they were hit by the Amnesia-Inator. Phineas then got surprised and shouted to Carl to cancel shooting them with the Amnesia-Inator, to no avail. ("Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension").

Ferb Fletcher
Isabella is good friends with Ferb, likely because he's the stepbrother of her crush, although she seems to get annoyed when Ferb goes wherever Phineas goes. Along with Candace, she has outright stated that Ferb is Phineas' stepbrother ("Rollercoaster"). Unlike her relationship with Phineas, Isabella shows no romantic interest in Ferb. However, after time-traveling to the future, she learned that she might marry Phineas or Ferb ("Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo"). Upon this discovery, Ferb turned around and winked at Isabella, who was stunned at the possibility that she may marry someone else other than Phineas. This may indicate that Ferb may harbor a bit of affection for Isabella, or that Ferb just fancies himself a ladies' man ("Thaddeus and Thor"). It is also possible he was simply teasing her. Ferb is slightly irritated when Phineas gets all of Isabella's attention and praise for being a superhero ("The Beak") or it can be just the thought of him being the one who controls the lower half and Phineas gets all the attention. When they were stranded on the uncharted island, Ferb listened while Isabella talked about Phineas not noticing her, and offered her a handkerchief when she started crying. He knows about Isabella's crush on Phineas and he also walked away when Phineas came to leave them alone. ("Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!", "The Doof Side of the Moon"). It is most likely that he does not have affection for Isabella since he has more affection for Vanessa Doofenshmirtz ("I Scream, You Scream").

Baljeet
Isabella is friends with Baljeet. They hang out on occasion, usually when they are brought together by Phineas and Ferb's Big Ideas. She won a bet against him on who would win the fight between Buford and the squid ("Voyage to the Bottom of Buford"). Though when trying to find the purpose of a machine Baljeet did jump at the chance to have a romantic dinner with Isabella, even a staged one. Isabella told him he ran at the table "...like a crazed bull" ("What Do It Do?"). This is also hinted when Baljeet asked Isabella if he made a good Phineas, she responds with "No, no you weren't" ("Not Phineas and Ferb"). When Phineas and Ferb built a Super Computer, Isabella is seen thinking about Phineas on the super computer. This makes Baljeet mad, showing he may have a crush on her ("Ask a Foolish Question").

Buford Van Stomm
When they play sports or games, Buford usually mocks her for being a girl, and therefore less of a competitor in his eyes. Isabella takes this very seriously and refuses to let Buford beat her ("Got Game?", "Brain Drain"). When she saw Buford crying about his lost goldfish, she expressed concern and worry about him ("Voyage to the Bottom of Buford"). She also stood up to the video-game boss (designed in Buford's image), and defeated him after he threatened Phineas ("Gaming the System"), though technically this was not the real Buford. When Buford became hypnotized by Phineas and Ferb's boringness, Isabella quickly revived him by a quick slap in the face ("Phineas and Ferb Interrupted").

Candace Flynn
Isabella and Candace are good friends. They both know about each others' respective crushes and share advice and experiences ("One Good Scare Ought to Do It!", "Out to Launch", "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo", "Phineas and Ferb-Busters!", "Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!"). While in Paris, Isabella felt jealous of Candace's relationship with Jeremy ("Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!"). When Isabella excitedly realized that Candace's future daughter called her "Aunt Isabella", meaning that she married into the Flynn-Fletcher family, Candace reminds her that she could marry either Phineas or Ferb as a counterbalance ("Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo"). Candace teamed up with Isabella to beat Buford and Baljeet ("Got Game?"). Isabella, Phineas, and Ferb also helped Candace get a ticket to the Paisley Sideburn Brothers Concert ("Fireside Girl Jamboree"). Even though they like each other in general, Isabella was mad at Candace when Melissa was more interested in Candace's achievements than Isabella's, yet they became reconciled when Candace admitted that if it were not for Isabella, she would have never gained 50 Accomplishment Patches in a single day ("We Call it Maze"). Interestingly enough, Candace doesn't try to bust Isabella when Baljeet and Buford pose as Phineas and Ferb, even though she acknowleged that Isabella was in the backyard ("Not Phineas and Ferb"). A future episode mentioned by the creators will have Isabella ask Candace for relationship advice.

Fireside Girls
As the troop's leader the Fireside Girls always follow Isabella's orders, always ready and willing to do whatever it takes to help their leader in helping Phineas and Ferb, even risking themselves to do it. Although the girls are loyal to Isabella, and have earned many a badge in helping the boys, they have voiced that they've collected more than fifty of the 'Help Thy Neighbor' patch because of it. They're also aware of Isabella's crush on Phineas and her desire to marry him, and they jokingly tease her for it ("Isabella and the Temple of Sap"). Even so, they remain friends with the boys and squealed with delight when Phineas invited Isabella on a romantic cruise ("That Sinking Feeling").

Background Information

 * There is now plenty of evidence that Isabella is at least part Jewish. Her last name is Shapiro, traditionally a Jewish name. She has a mirror in her room that has a Star of David frame; this is a common symbol for Judaism. Also, Isabella's mother, Vivian Garcia-Shapiro, went to a Mexican-Jewish Cultural Festival and often uses Yiddish phrases. Isabella says she celebrates Hanukkah instead of Christmas. Though obviously of Jewish denomination, like Vivian, she seems to have been raised almost exclusively in America since, unlike her mother, she speaks fluent English with a perfect American accent.
