## Biography

### *Thomas & Friends*

Isobella once had to deliver a piano, but she lost control and ended up dangling over of the side of a retaining wall next to the railway line. Kelly had to rescue her.

While working on the foundations for a dairy barn, all the diesel-powered machines ran out of diesel fuel. As she was the only machine still in working order, Isobella had to collect some barrels of diesel fuel for the machines.

## Personality

Isobella is as sweet and kind as she is a hard worker, but not when she gets dirty, which is why she tells others to "mind her paint". She can also be rather cheeky and temperamental.

## Technical Details
