Isabelle came out a bit hard to do, but I managed.

And ugh. I think I left out too many things with Magnus...I now want to do it all over again. Or another 10 things for MB. He'll have 20. And that won't be fair. So no.

Anyway, here's Isabelle Lightwood, the only daughter of the Lightwood family.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Isabelle Lightwood

1. The reason why Isabelle cares too much about her looks is because, when she was little, everyone had their eyes on the handsome little boy with the sparkling blue eyes. She envied her older brother – and in that jealousy came a vow. A vow promising herself that she would not let anyone out stage her, be it her brother or otherwise.

2. She hates blood. It's the very reason why she wears that blood red pendant around her neck. Because of it, her own blood's been saved countless of times, and the fact that it beats with her own heart helps her get through the kills.

3. Once, when she was young, she walked the streets alone, telling her mother that she would just be around the corner. New York's a busy city, and the little girl got lost.

She found herself in a pond, wading her way through the water when something tugged at the hem of her wet skirt and pulled her to the edge.

"What are you doing to me?" Isabelle shrieks, her hands flying to her hair.

"Be quiet, Nephilim..." The faerie folk whispers, its eyes hard on Isabelle.

"Downworlder! Mother tells me not to go anywhere near your kind! Let go of me now! I am a Shadowhunter!" Isabelle tries to pull away, but the bony hand of the fair folk just holds on to her tighter. The look it gave her makes her shudder even to this day.

"You will be betrayed by the one in fake black,"

And before anything else could be said, the fair folk was sucked back into the water, leaving Isabelle wet and cold.

She ran home, crying, but she didn't tell her mother.

She didn't want to believe that the Downworlder expected her not to trust her own family.

Because, it was only them that she knew that had dark hair.

Oh, she'd know, years from then, of the fake in black.

4. When her mother gave birth to the third Lightwood child, Isabelle remembers locking herself up in her room. She acted like a spoiled brat, and even threw her brush at Alec when he tried to tell her their baby brother had been born.

She cried that night, because she knew her parents would have another son.

And that would mean they wouldn't care for her anymore.

"Mother named him Maximum."

Isabelle remembers the cold fury that overtook her emotions.

She hates herself for even hating Max, the very second he was born.

5. Baby Max was just learning how to talk, no straight words were made, only gurgling, and cute attempts. Isabelle didn't find it cute. She didn't like her baby brother for stealing all the attention.

Her parents were rarely home, and they had Hodge to train them.

But she still wanted them around, still craved for their love.

It's not when the baby crawls up to her and looks through his long lashes that she stretches out a hand to touch his curly dark hair.

A surge of warmth filled her.

"I-Izzy...Izzy...Izzy? Izzy! Izzy!"

The first actual word that left his lips was her name.

She picked him up then and hugged him close to her.

To this day, she hates herself for having waited so long to hug her brother.

The mere mention of that name after the funeral would always make tears well up in her eyes.

She never forgot, even if Jace claimed he gave her the nickname.

She'll never forget.

6. Her first experience with a whip was a failure. Her father chastised her and gave her a different type of weapon, a long lance. But she shook her head and fixed her eyes on the electrum whip.

"No, father. I will be the master of this whip,"

She didn't fail.

7. On the night Alec was poisoned by the greater demon, Isabelle found herself trying to rip the hair out of her head. She broke several glass vases. Hodge had betrayed them, and had left Alec for dead.

But when Magnus Bane came and pushed her out of the room, all she could do was wait and wonder if this was the call Alec had been waiting for.

She finds out that it was.

And that Alec's never been happier with the man.

She trusts Magnus with her brother's happiness.

Even if she does envy the warlock for stealing his brother's attention.

But it didn't feel like Max all over again – she promised herself that she wouldn't be so selfish. And so she gave Alec Lightwood to Magnus Bane. To have and to hold.

I will murder you, Magnus Bane, if you even so much as make one tear roll down my brother's eye. I will personally assist you to Hell and kill you there again. And again.

8. She always wanted to prove something to her parents. She always wanted them to really look at her.

That explains her bad boys streak.

9. Isabelle remembers Sebastian face and his words as he struck her down. But all she could think of was:

Where's Max? Where's my baby brother?

It's only too late that she realizes what happens to him.

And she hates herself for being too weak.

10. Isabelle realizes that every time she has reason to truly hate herself, it always points to Max. But when she saw her brother, Alec, happy with Magnus Bane, and Clary, making Jace happy, Isabelle felt a surge of gratitude and happiness for them.

She didn't need to hate others, she didn't need to put them down to make herself feel better.

She was happy just because the people she cared about were happy.

And Simon, of course, could always make her happy, even if he was just a silly little vampire boy.

So, who's next? I'm not too excited to do Alec. Maybe Max? I always did like him so much...Hm.

But ah, yes. The excellent feedback is more than what I had hoped for. Thank you for the support thus far! xoxo.
