Added by Axel Valentine
Added by Jack LaytonIn Cry Me A River (1), she is in Drama Club with Eli and Fiona. She first acknowledges Fiona by asking "Aren't you in grade 12?" Ms. Dawes soon tells the class to get into groups of four. When Fiona asks if there is room for herself, Imogen replies that their group is full.
In Cry Me A River (2), Imogen is seen in drama class. When Fiona mentions trying to fit in and feeling alone, Imogen is seen looking down in a guilty manner. Also, when Fiona says that Eli is the best writer in the class, Imogen quickly responds with "Obviously." Embarrassed by her outburst, she quickly looks down. She is also the first to raise her hand suggesting him as the writer.
In Dirt Off Your Shoulder (1), Imogen is seen in the background a couple of times, usually watching Eli. Later, Imogen is seen watching Eli in the computer lab. When Eli becomes enraged that Clare is talking to Jake, he throws the monitor on the floor. Imogen rushes over to him and after she sees Ms. Oh, she throws herself onto the floor, thus making it appear that she tripped over the computer monitor wires, knocking the monitor to the ground. Ms. Oh buys Imogen's story and takes her to the nurse's office to treat her bloody nose. Later, Imogen leaves the nurse's office, and Eli asks her if she's okay. She flirts with him and introduces herself to him. Imogen asks Eli what kind of pills he's taking, and he tells her he's on anxiety medication. Imogen suggests that his medication could be what's dulling his writing. Adam comes over and asks what's going on, and Imogen comically tells him that Eli punched her in the face, then walks away. As she's walking, Adam calls her a psycho and Eli just stares towards her direction.
In Dirt Off Your Shoulder (2), Imogen overhears Eli asking Adam to take away his anti-anxiety pills for awhile so he can regain his creativity. When Adam refuses, Imogen walks up and takes the pills away from Eli. In drama class, Eli tells Ms. Dawes and Fiona that the script is going along nicely. Ms. Dawes tells Eli to find someone to give him inspiration and Imogen volunteers. Eli and Imogen are later seen in the hallway, where Eli begins to panic and ask for his pills back, but Imogen refuses. Eli can't stay at school without his meds so she asks him to skip school with her and they go to an alleyway where she sketches a drawing of him. She asks him to do the same, but he freaks out and says that he wants to be over Clare and Imogen says she can help. She later walks out of a thrift store dressed as Clare. Eli refuses at first, but then proceeds with the experiment. Imogen, as Clare, begins to say that she never loved him and that he was a loser. Eli loses it and says "I HATE YOU!". They stop the exercise and Imogen tells Eli to use those feelings to write a great play. They later go to The Dot and get a coffee, where Imogen spills the fact that she knows about the incident at Vegas Night with Fitz and the Gothic-Con convention incident. Eli is freaked out that she knows this and yells at her, but Imogen brushes it off and tells him to not let the crazy get the best of him because that's what Clare wants. They are back at school when they run into Clare and they are awkwardly introduced. Clare and Eli make plans for the interview at lunch tomorrow.

Later at lunch Imogen sits at the table next to Clare and is staring at her reading her book, Imogen imitates her, and also imitates the way she eats and how she wipes her mouth with her napkin. Clare then notices Imogen doing the same thing as her and Clare starts doing things to see if Imogen will copy and she does. Clare then sarcastically asks Imogen if she can help her, Imogen says "Yes, I want to be you." Clare gets confused until Imogen tells her that she wants to be "Clara." Imogen asks for help, and Clare says that something tells her that it's a bad idea (and Imogen tells her "Oh! You hear voices too!" and then the subject changes). Clare agrees to help her, and she tells Imogen to tell Eli that he should be happy and move on because she's happy and has a boyfriend. Imogen agrees.

Appearance and Style

Added by OmondieuImogen puts much effort into using her clothing to stand out from other students. Her creativity is nearly always reflected through her offbeat fashion choices. She likes colorful clothing, offset by punky and goth-inspired accessories. Imogen enjoys shopping, and according to Fiona, "would sleep at the mall if they let her." She adores accessories, particularly colorful and patterned stockings, earrings, studded wristbands, and heavy, leather boots. Imogen has also been known to wear "costume" accessories to school such as headbands with furry cat ears. She has a fondness for neon, plaid, and animal prints. Her long hair is rarely worn down, and is usually put up into buns or pigtails.
Imogen was introduced in season 11 as a junior with a distinctive sense of style. At this time, her fashion choices were largely affected by her infatuation with classmate Eli.

Added by OmondieuInfluenced by Eli's goth-meets-emo style, Imogen gravitated towards mostly black and red clothing, studded jewellery, military jackets, heavy black boots, and dark eyeliner. Among her many mismatched accessories were her large Buddy Holly-style glasses, though these were soon replaced with more discrete, cat eye-style glasses. Her most unique feature was her hair, which was nearly always worn up in pigtails secured with hair chopsticks.
Imogen's style began softening during the second half of season 11. Her newfound friendship and budding crush on Fiona inspired her to dress in

Added by OmondieuImogen has continued to move away from her dark, punk-inspired style in season 12 in favor of more glamorous clothing. Ironically, Fiona , now officially her girlfriend, has begun aping Imogen's former style with studded denim and leather jackets.
