I think that's what's so brilliant about Isabeau. I mean if you think about it, the MC is just as paper thin as she is. It's the first time I've actually wished that a silent protagonist would speak, but if you think about it, it's fitting. If you don't take the neutral path, you're basically seen by her as your partner's sidekick, and someone who got manipulated.

Or maybe I'm just giving them a little too much credit lol. I don't think she's great, just better than the other two in a lot of ways. I don't think the really developes much at all, but it does seem to depend on the path you take in an interesting way at least.

As the MC represents you, I don`t think the MC would be able to talk, as with any MCs who represent you. It would sort of break this tie that that the MC is you by saying something or in a way that you wouldn`t say. Isabeau does seem interesting in that, unless you`re neutral, she is your enemy, seeming like maybe the side you picked isn`t the right one, which maybe makes me think I made a wrong choice or didn`t think things clearly enough. I don`t know...! I just feel bad when I had to defeat her. I wish it didn`t have to end that way...
