Isabella Garcia-Shapiro

"“Hi, Phineas. Whatcha doin'?” ―Isabella to Phineas"

Isabella Garcia-Shapiro is a sweet and very cute little black-haired 7-year-old girl and a major character from Disney’s popular animated TV series ''Phineas and Ferb. ''Created by Jeff "Swampy" Marsh & Dan Povenmire, she has a crush on Phineas, and lives next door to him, though he never notices her crush on him, while she does spend her days participating or helping with his or Ferb’s projects. She also spends her time trying to earn Fireside Girl patches, and she is also great friends with the members of her troop in the Fireside Girls Troop 46231. She is voiced by Alyson Stoner.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) She is cute, friendly, sweet, nice, cheerful, fearless, quick-thinking, optimistic, caring, helpful, kind, and easy to get along with others.
 * 2) She is always willing to help Phineas with his daily projects, and, furthermore, their relationship is adorable.
 * 3) Her famous and iconic quote: “What’cha doin’?”
 * 4) She's a great leader, as she is Troop Leader of the Fireside Girls 46231, and she never gives up.
 * 5) Cute and passable character design, even her voice is so adorable to listen to every time. Her voice actress, Alyson Stoner, does an amazing job voicing her.
 * 6) She has a very amazing singing voice, such as when she sings “City of Love”, “Whatcha Doin’?” (named after her catchphrase), and, of course, “If We Could Just Be Alone”.
 * 7) She aids people who are in need of help.
 * 8) She has a competitive demeanor, when it comes to sports.
 * 9) Besides being optimistic, she does show concern for others, especially in serious situations.
 * 10) She even starred in  her own episodes on the same show. You don’t believe the article? Watch the show for yourself.
 * 11) She is a little girl with a big heart.
 * 12) Her rivalry with Doofenshmirtz over leadership in the movie "Candace Against the Universe" is absolutely hilarious.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Despite being a major character in Phineas and Ferb, she was only given less than a minute of screen time in the Milo Murphy's Law crossover special "The Phineas and Ferb Effect". She was going to have a major role, but, disappointingly enough, she did not. It's not bad, but it left fans of the character upset. Even so, she is still likable in the episode. Luckily enough, her appearance in "Candace Against the Universe" might have made up for it.
 * 2) She slapped both Balijeet and Buford for no reason.

Trivia

 * There is a lot 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, which is a common symbol for Judaism. In addition, her mother, Vivian Garcia-Shapiro, went to a Mexican-Jewish Cultural Festival, and often uses Yiddish phrases. At one point, she says she celebrates Hanukkah instead of Christmas.
 * Unlike her mother, she speaks fluent English with a perfect American accent.
 * She is named after her creator Dan Povenmire’s oldest daughter who loves the show and that the former is named after her.
 * In some later episodes (starting with She’s the Mayor), when she says “What’cha doin’?”, her voice is higher-pitched, although her original voice is used in some episodes.
 * She is usually brave but can be frightened in some episodes.
