Added DiffLines:

* MirrorCharacter: To Ash, oddly enough.
** Both of them are technically orphans, since the identity of their respective parents remains a mystery. But while Ash at least had the Blanctorche Family taking care of him, Isla… [[OrphanageOfFear wasn't as lucky]].
** Their respective fighting styles are largely kick-focused; Ash's style taking inspiration from Savate (as his kicks are noticeably longer-reaching than his punches), while Isla attacks the opponent herself with kicks, as Amanda is mapped to her punch buttons.
** At their absolute best, both of them are [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold gold-hearted]] {{jerkass}}es with an attitude problem. Ash being incredibly [[CondescendingCalmness condescending]] and [[SophisticatedAsHell sophisticated]] with his insults while Isla is very [[TheLadette crass]] and [[LadySwearsALot foul-mouthed]].
** Both of them have somewhat similar, but also contrasting movesets to some of the other main characters: Ash's flames being a distinctive wax-like green with the reason behind it being a RiddleForTheAges while Isla is an Amplified Specter like Shun'ei, albeit with an extra pair of hands that are seemingly sentient compared to Shun'ei's being an extension of himself.

** Both of them have contrasting {{Dark and Troubled Past}}s. Elisabeth having lost her parents in a fire when she was younger while Isla was flat-out ''abandoned'' by her parents. ** Whereas Elisabeth's playstyle is a direct contrast to Ash's (especially in ''KOF XV'', where she is a very strong anti-zoner character that can give Ash quite a hard time), Isla's is a parallel to Shun'ei's. Both her and Shun'ei have excellent air mobility for rushdown characters and they're both among the easier characters for new players to pick from.

* HasTwoMommies: More or less; [[HeterosexualLifePartners Foxy and Diana]] ''did'' raise her, y'know. However, it should be noted that Kula considers Maxima to be her [[HonoraryUncle uncle figure]] in the SecretProjectRefugeeFamily that the NESTS traitors have created. K', on the other hand, acts more akin to an AloofBigBrother figure.

* {{Leitmotif}}: "Time for revolution It's our generation", a hip-hop tune straight out of the likes of ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' or ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'', which played during her character trailer. It's also meant to sort of just represent her and her rebellious tone.

It's not uncommon for her to completely lack patience, or to throw a fit if something doesn't go her way. Thankfully for her teammates, it's easy enough to calm her down, just offer her ice cream.
