Witch Card
The artist witch. Her nature is vanity. Without a slightest doubt, she believes her existence is blessed. Wanting someone to see her work, she often interferes with human world. However within her barrier only exist works that you have probably seen somewhere before. To defeat this witch, just bring a well-known critic with you. |
Minions
The artist witch's minion. Her role is to be a piece of artwork. Any human that has been killed by this witch will have their body parts placed within this familiar. |
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.

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.
