English descriptionJapanese description Crépuscule de la Reine. Nature: Domination. A greedy Witch with a bottomless hunger for power. Its larva-like legs are not of its true form, which is protected by a hard shell and rarely seen. It possesses a tremendous Labyrinth which can envelope an entire nation, and the poor souls trapped within it will be none the wiser. It feeds on negative emotions such as the grief and fear of those swallowed by the darkness, thereby expanding its strength and domain for the greater Labyrinth and, ultimately, a more powerful self. 女王の黄昏。 その性質は支配。 終わらぬ権勢を求める貪欲な魔女。 幼体状の脚部は魔女の本体ではなく、固い外殻に守られた本体が真の姿を見せることは滅多にない。一国をまるごと覆うほどの巨大な結界を持ち、結界に取り込まれた人々はそのことに気 づかない｡ 魔女はその闇に呑まれた人々の嘆きや恐怖といった負の感情を喰らい、より強大な魔女、より広大な結界へと、その力と領域を拡大してゆく。

Trivia

• She is one of the few Witches whose real name is the same as when she was still a Magical Girl.
• Her true name, Isabeau, means "God's promise".
• Taking a close look at the Witch's larva form in Magia Exedra shows that the "shell" or "castle wall" is depicted as a Tarte aux Figues (French fig tart), which is a French delicacy. It may also might be a metaphor of Tart, the Witch's natural enemy.
  • Fig's symbolism (flower language) can mean "argument", "longevity" and "prolificness", which actually relates to Isabeau herself and her daughters.
• Considering depictions before her second form reveal in Magia Record Event and Magia Exedra's Main Story, Isabeau's remained human body had a furious and/or shocked expression right after Minou collapses from Tart's attack. This could be interpreted as the fact Isabeau still has a love for her youngest daughter, even during her witch state.
  • Moreover, the evolved form of Isabeau mainly uses gigantic seal as a weapon, which is also a weapon her youngest daughter uses when turning their magical girl servants as witches.
• Isabeau is the fourth Final Boss of Magia Exedra with a finisher move after Walpurgisnacht, Shitori Egumo and Homulilly, with Isabeau's remained human vessel controlling the witch.
• Isabeau's remained human vessel doesn't have any changes in both Battle and Nightmare mode, while the witch herself having drastic differences like extra red outlinings and dark color palettes.
