Despite Isabela initially seeming like a happy (if somewhat rude) person, there are several hints that she is just as secretly unhappy as the rest of her family. She often forces her smiles, since she's almost always on display and nearly everyone puts her on a pedestal. During the breakfast scene - when the Madrigals learn that Mariano plans to propose to Isabela - Alma says "Such a fine young man with our perfect Isabela". During this, Alma removes the one "imperfect" white flower that pops out among the other pink ones on Isabela's head. Alma does this when she says "perfect" reflecting how she is trying to keep earning the miracle. This also shows Isabela's facade of perfection breaking for a moment. During her solo in 'We Don't Talk About Bruno', Isabela sings, "He told me that the life of my dreams would be promised and someday be mine/He told me that my power would grow like the grapes that thrive on the vine". This implies that she isn't living the life she wants. It also foreshadows that Isabela has only been using a fraction of her power. She doesn't discover her full potential - and her true happiness - until the song 'What Else Can I Do'.
