Isabel Sophie is a famous British actress and model who has played the character of Coraline Jones in the movie adaptation of the Neil Gaiman’s Coraline movie. She has gone on to feature in several other notable films and has also gained an appreciation for her acting skills on stage. Aside from Coraline Jones, she has also been featured in The Royal Office (the third film in the three Coraline movies) as Assistant Director Mike Stonehouse, and has also played the role of Rip Van Winkle in the animated adaptation of the same story. She has also appeared in several video games such as the Prince of Thieves and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

Isabelle Senn was born in September 1963 in England, where her parents were from French and Polish nationalities. She is reported to have had her first birthday at the age of five in an orphanage, after which her parents took her to stay with relatives in a nearby country home. Her biological mother is not mentioned by Senn at all in the book, whose details are provided only by Coraline herself. Her birth date is given as 5 July 1963. From this it can be established that she is of English and possibly Irish, nationality. From this it is also apparent that she is of the same height and weight as the other main character, Coraline Jones, who also happens to be of the same age.

In the video game, The Royal Agent, Coraline Jones states that her favorite color is green, possibly because of her blonde hair. It should be noted however that according to the character profiles in the Coraline novel, her hair is dark brown, and in the photo in the game covers, it is quite short. Her eyes are very pale blue, and are described as being large and sunken sockets. Based on these descriptions, it can be assumed that she is of Celtic descent.
