Isabella Finch was a legendary explorer. She was the Chief of Woodchuck Exploration and also one of the co-founders alongside Clinton Coot. She is the grandmother of Bradford Buzzard. She was featured in pulp adventure books called The Collected Adventures of Isabella Finch during Scrooge McDuck's childhood, where she defeated the Fever Beast of Tibet and the Swiss Swarmy of Microbeesia. She once fought the Nandi Bear, a massive and ferocious bear with claws the size of a man. She owned the ancestor of the Tittertwill Bird of Knowledge.
She left behind a journal containing information on her adventures, including the Missing Mysteries, which she was never able to find. The journal is found by Scrooge McDuck and his family who set out to find these mysteries before the members of the evil organization F.O.W.L. who also desire those lost artifacts for their own evil plans.
Most of the possessions she tried to find that Clan McDuck found are currently under F.O.W.L.'s possession.
In the final episode, it is revealed that Bradford is her grandson who went with her on most of her adventures. However, while Finch described them as “learning experiences” and truly meant well for her grandson, she unintentionally traumatized Bradford with her adventures and ultimately shaped his view on the matter forever, causing him to want to reign in the chaos of the world via a villainous organization bent on destroying the foundation of adventure altogether. After the Battle of McDuck vs F.O.W.L., most of the missing mysteries have been returned to Clan McDuck.
