There is no doubt in this Witch's mind that it is one of the chosen elites. Desperate to show its work to others, it's decidedly proactive in meddling with humans. Inside its Labyrinth, however, one will find that all works look curiously familiar... Should a renowned critic choose to tag along with you inside this Labyrinth, this Witch can be easily defeated.

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. They have a brief description, shown in Ulla's Rental Ver. Concept page.
Michaela
Minions of the Artist Witch. They looked like a mural in the concert hall. Their role is to solidify the foundation of the hall. (芸術家の魔女の手下。コンサートホールで壁画っぽくなっていた。ホールの土台を固める役。)

"Symbolic Masterpiece"
"Traditional Maiden Work" A unique milestone. Order of the Ore, three on the left. Seven on the shield is marble.
This truth is eternal honor (*Applause)
“An absolute masterpiece” Unprecedented, the solitary zenith Order of the Ore, six side by side The granite cup is six and nine

Magia Exedra
Izabel and Michaela appear in Magia Exedra. They appear in the Main Quest Artist Witch. She has new parts of her labyrinth: a black hall with floating paintings from the real world, with some melting onto the floor; and an area with the Guernica ground but a covered ceiling.
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.
- In the Portable games, portions of her barrier looks like a abandoned terrarium / museum. However in Magia Exedra this was changed to be floating paintings.
- Her name may have been derived from Princess Izabela Czartoryska, founder of the first Polish museum.
- She could also been based on Isabella d'Este, the italian marchioness of Mantua and a patron of the arts as well as a leader of fashion and her innovative style of dressing was emulated by many women in the italian Renaissance.
- The familiar's name may be a reference to Michelangelo.
- Curiously, Michelangelo's statue, The Sleeping Cupid, was bought by Isabella d'Este.
- The new Michaela familiars from Madoka Magica Portable resemble the painting The Scream.
Trivia
- Izabel is voiced by Rei Matsuzaki.
- In her debut, Izabel's name appeared as Isadel, however the witch card that was released later corrected her name to be Izabel.
- However, in later games such as Magia Record, "Isadel" still remains labelled on her relief.
- 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 Production Notes, however, states that the Witch's words are spoken by her Familiars.
- 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.
- While the Puella Magi Production Note states that Izabel attacks either by inflicting mental damage or sending out Familiars as attacks, games such as Portable and The Battle Pentagram depicts her having more flexible and erratic movements.
- In all the mobile games and the official guide note book of Madoka Magica her name is credited as "Isabel" instead of "Izabel" shown in her official card image.
