Isabel was a member of the Others, introduced in the episode "Stranger in a Strange Land". Tom referred to her as "the sheriff" when Jack asked who she was. She seemed to have an investigative or police role within the organization of the Others.

On the Island

Isabel questioning Tom and Jack

Season 3 (Days 73-74)

One night, Isabel came to the cages where Jack was being held. She translated Jack's tattoos, saying that the 5 and the star were "cute", but the Chinese is quite ironic. She introduced herself and asked Jack to come with her so she could ask him some questions. ("Stranger in a Strange Land")

Isabel was in-charge of Juliet's arrest for Danny's murder and Ben's attempted murder. Isabel summoned Jack, Tom, and Juliet to an office, where she questioned Jack on whether Juliet had asked him to kill Ben. Jack lied to Isabel, claiming that he had said that to Tom in order to create chaos. Isabel appeared to know he was lying and asked him why he would lie for Juliet. Jack didn't answer; rather, he and asked to go back to his cage. ("Stranger in a Strange Land")

Right before Juliet's verdict, Jack and Alex interrupted the proceedings with a message from Ben. His message ordered Isabel to stop the execution and "mark" her instead. Later at day, during sunset, Isabel recited the supposed translation of Jack's tattoo, saying, "He walks among us but is not one of us." Jack replied, "That's what it says, but it's not what it means." The Others, along with Jack, left the Hydra Island on a yacht back to where "home" was, according to Ben. ("Stranger in a Strange Land")
