Isabel Susannah "Belly" Conklin is the main protagonist in the Amazon Prime Video original series, The Summer I Turned Pretty. She is portrayed by Lola Tung.
Belly used to be gawky and awkward, but when she turns 16 she is starting to turn heads-and it’s taking some getting used to. Conrad Fisher, the boy she’s loved forever, the boy who never even looked in her direction - is paying attention to her. It’s exhilarating to suddenly be an object of desire… but it’s also scary.
Belly is the youngest child of Laurel Park and John Conklin. She is the younger sister of Steven Conklin. From the time she was a child, she and her family would spend their Summers at Cousins Beach with the Fisher family. Each summer was different and exciting, with Belly growing closer to the Fisher brothers each year. She developed a crush on the eldest brother, Conrad, around the age of 12.
During her fifteenth summer, a drunk Jeremiah and Conrad dared an also drunk Steven to pee in the fireplace, which subsequently, stunk up the house for days. Laurel blamed the neighbor's cat for the incident.
Belly is a sweet, kind, spunky teenager who longs for the freedom that comes with being older. She's been a sheltered young girl for her entire life, never going to parties and opting to stay home instead. The summer of her sixteenth birthday she vows to change her life and finally break out of her shell. She vocalizes what she wants, goes out and ...

Steven Conklin
Steven is Belly's older brother. They have a sarcastic, banter-filled, and protective relationship over one another. Steven wants to keep her safe during the summer, though his own escapades often take him away from his task. He takes every chance he gets to tease her or insult her, though with a joking tone. Despite being opposites, they experience similar life events in the same time frames. In fact, they both hooked up with each other's best friend over the summer; Steven made out with Taylor because he felt insecure over his relationship with Shayla, while Belly explored a connection to Jeremiah. They also both attended the debutante ball for the first season with their summer romances, despite Steven initially thinking the ball was a stupid thing for Belly to do.
