'Shadowhunters': Emeraude Toubia's Izzy Lightwood is a badass with a heart of gold

Shadowhunters' Isabelle Lightwood, played by Emeraude Toubia, is no longer a gorgeous prop blending in with the side characters in the background; she is a warrior
PUBLISHED DEC 27, 2018

Modern-day television has come a long way from stereotypical one-dimensional female representation on the screen. In that, there's no one particular action goddess, nor an annoyingly perfect Mary Sue to keep us entertained anymore. Today's female leads are tough but comforting, ambitious but also empathetic, and most importantly, so multifaceted that it becomes a struggle when one has to pick a favorite aspect of their favorite female character.

One such very fierce, yet compassionate, sex symbol of a character is Isabelle Lightwood on Freeform's fantasy show 'Shadowhunters'. In the last three years, played by the ever so gorgeous Emeraude Toubia, Isabelle has come off as a constant source of empowering snark and a phenomenal emblem of the badass with a heart of gold.
