Isabelle is a dog who debuts in New Leaf. She assists the player in their new role as the town mayor as their secretary and assistant. She is also the older twin sister of Digby, who works and stands at the front entrance to the Happy Home Showcase.
This dropdown contains the synopsis of Isabelle’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!
"New Leaf"
In New Leaf, Isabelle is the mayor's secretary. She can be found standing at the front desk inside the Town Hall. At the start of the game, she provides most of the tutorial work for the player, replacing the previous role that Tom Nook did prior to New Leaf. She also allows the player to change the town tune or flag, and can be notified about unpleasant villagers. If the player is the mayor, she will be able to assist them with enacting Town Ordinances and building Public Works Projects if the player sits on the mayor's seat in the back of the Town Hall. Isabelle also replaces Tortimer's role in organizing most town events. She will normally appear at the plaza during town events for the full duration of the day between 6:00 AM and 6:00 AM the next day. If the plaza is already occupied by a bug-catching/fishing event, she will instead be standing right outside the town hall. Like Tortimer, she can be interacted to receive free gifts commemorating town events. While a town event is active for the day, she will not allow any mayoral events to happen for said day. In addition, the town hall will be closed if she is partaking in a town event.
"New Horizon"
Isabelle will work for Nook Inc. and will appear in-game depending on the player's progression into the game. If the player progresses enough, a town hall will be built as Resident Services, where Isabelle will serve a similar role as she did in New Leaf. Whenever the player logs into the game, she will appear at Resident Services, where she will announce the date and time, along with any special events going on at the time (eg. campsite villager). If there are no events to report, she will announce any special characters visiting the island (which she began announcing following the 2.0 update), to make there be an announcement every day. She talks about Gulliver and Redd indirectly, saying that people have asked her what to do with fake art, or if someone is washed up on the beach.
Once the Resident Services building has finished construction, Tom Nook will invite Isabelle to the player on the next day. After he introduces her to the player, Isabelle will then introduce herself about her main roles on the island. Afterwards, she will be always inside the Resident Services building to assist with help around the island like she would with in the Town Hall: the island tune, island flag, island status/appeal, and inappropriate language or clothing from/on villagers.
