Isabel Evans
Isabel Evans is a fictional character created by Melinda Metz for the young adults book series Roswell High and adapted by Jason Katims for the 1999-2002 American science fiction television series Roswell.
Isabel Amanda Evans (previously Evans-Ramirez) is an alien-human hybrid like her brother Max Evans and best friend Michael Guerin. She and Max were found as six-year-old children wandering in the desert by Philip and Diane Evans, who adopted them. She had a relationship with Alex Whitman in season one and again in season two, but the relationship never really got off the ground in season one before her "destiny" was revealed. Just as she and Alex started over in season two, Alex was killed. She was devastated by Alex's death, having a couple of dreams about him (one in which she admitted she loved him), but moved on to marry Jesse Ramirez in season three. She and her mother shared a close relationship although, it was strained when Isabel decided to marry Jesse. Over the years, Isabel's relationships with Max and Michael were also put under pressure. She became notably good friends with Kyle Valenti and saw his father Sheriff Jim Valenti as a father figure.
Characteristics
Isabel is a very visible, popular girl at school. She hides her kind side beneath a front of haughtiness and cold unfeeling—she is the perfect, unknowable, unobtainable beauty. On the outside, she is the most outgoing of the three hybrids and blends in with the human society with ease. While Michael is a rebellious loner and Max is shy and quiet, she is an active participant in social activities and altogether a very confident person. However, deep down she craves for stability and security, longing to fit in and be a "normal" girl like Liz and Maria are.

Complete Past Life info
Isabel was in an incubation pod from 1947 to 1989, when she broke out with her brother Max, and Michael. Even though Max and Isabel couldn't speak, they were able to communicate somehow. Max and Isabel walked from the pod chamber, through the desert to the highway, where they were found by Diane & Philip Evans.
When Isabel was found, she appeared to be six years old.
Max and Isabel were briefly in an orphanage (we don't know how long) until they were adopted by the Evans. Her adoptive parents are very loving, supportive and understanding, and Isabel and her brother have a happy home. The Evans hope to help them overcome the trauma of their childhood and become happy adults. Unlike Max, Isabel felt at home from the first day with the Evans.
We don't exactly know what happened to Isabel after she was adopted, but when she is eight, she and Max are enrolled in public school with Liz Parker. (perhaps they were home schooled or perhaps they were in a different elementary school)
It is never mentioned, but generally assumed that Isabel went through the rest of elementary and Jr. High with Liz, but they never really knew each other that well.
While her brother Max hid himself by being secretive, Isabel went the other direction doing everything she could to fit in, becoming popular and elusive, hiding herself in an arrogant attitude and among vapid friends.
Isabel is known for being smart, beautiful, popular, an ice princess who dates a lot of guys but never gets serious. But inside she craves stability, family and someone to love. She volunteers in many causes and charities throughout the community and has a passion for creating the perfect Christmas which has earned her the nickname 'The Christmas Nazi'
Isabel refers to both Michael and Max as her brothers and often is put into the role of mediating their arguments, and thrown into the uncomfortable position of taking sides.
Isabel uses her powers the most, almost as a hobby, to spy on her fellow students and to accomplish small everyday tasks, like putting on lipstick. She also has the power to view peoples' dreams, and interact with them, but she says she can't change them.
