History

Original Anime

Izabel appears in Episode 10. She targets Homura as she walks home from school, feeling sad about how she thinks of herself. Izabel seems to speak to Homura, making her think about committing suicide. Homura quickly realises she's wandered into Izabel's barrier and is approached by her familiars. She is saved by Madoka and Mami who defeat Izabel and her familiars with a combined attack.

The Rebellion Story

Only Izabel's familiars: Michaela, appear in The Rebellion Story. They appear briefly with Sayaka's orchestra.

Original text	Translation
「象徴的　代表作」 「伝統的　処女作」 唯一無二なる金字塔 鉱石勲章　左に三つ 盾の七つは大理石 讃えよ！築け！ この真理は永遠の誉れ （＊拍手喝釆） 「革新的　意欲作」 「絶対的　名作」 空前絶後　孤高の天頂 鉱石勲章　並べて六つ ミカゲの杯は六つと九つ この創造は　月もまだ見ぬ （＊拍手喝釆）

Observations

• There is a possibility that a witch's speaking can be understood only by people who have been targeted by her.
• Her barrier seems to be art-related. For example, the patterns Homura walks over before being engulfed by her barrier bear a striking resemblance Pablo Picasso's Guernica, and Izabel is killed while bound to a facsimile of the Arc de Triomphe.
• Her name may have been derived from Princess Izabela Czartoryska, founder of the first Polish museum.
• The familiar's name may be a reference to Michelangelo.
• The new Michaela familiars from Madoka Magica Portable resemble the painting The Scream.

Trivia

• In her debut, Izabel's name appeared as Isadel, however the witch card that was released later corrected her name to be Izabel.
• Izabel seems to be able to speak, being the only witch who spoke something so far (Except Elly who could speak with back-masking).
• The new Michaela's variants shown in Magia Record are similar to one of the scraped designs of them seen in the Puella Magi Production Note.
