==Story==
===Backstory===
Tart is the eldest of a family of 7, living with her mother, father, sister (Catherine) and three brothers in the small village of Domrémy in France. Tart’s adventures began when she followed her sister Catherine into the woods, following a fairy she had seen. The fairy turns out to be the familiar of a nearby grief seed that hatches into a witch before the girls. Catherine faints as several witch-kissed soldiers appear and amble towards Tart. Riz suddenly appears and knocks out the soldiers with the use of her daggers and shadow abilities. As she quickly dispatches them, the witch turns her fury towards Riz, who captures it with shadowy chains and impales it with her blade causing the witch to explode. Tart is amazed at this display as Riz explains that she and Kyubey were looking for her. They ask for her name and Kyubey nicknames her “Tart”. After Tart’s family appears looking for her and her sister, Tart faints from the stress and Riz brings the girls back to their home. Once Tart awakens, Riz awaits as Kyubey asks if she would consider making a contract with him. Tart’s father enters and asks if Riz would be able to work as a village guard for a time. During the following three years, Riz remained as a village guard and trained both Tart and Catherine in the art of sword fighting. Catherine quickly grows adept at her new skill as Tart struggles slightly. Due to Tart not deciding on a wish, Kyubey declares that he and Riz will have to leave soon. Riz goes to escort a shipment of goods the village is sending out when several thieves and bandits take advantage of Riz’s absence to burn the village to the ground, pillaging homes and slaughtering the villagers indiscriminately. Catherine is able to kill and wound some of the soldiers before she is impaled before Tart’s eyes. The soldiers leave, satisfied with their spoils. A short time later, Riz returns as Tart laments the loss of her sister and asks if she and her village can be restored with her wish. Kyubey affirms it can, but warns her it’s possible she may still lose both or other members of her family due to the war ravaging France. Tart makes her wish for the power to bring light to France. Before they leave, Tart cuts off her braid and places it on Catherine’s grave.

===During ''Tart Magica''===
{{Spoilerbox|
Tart first appeared in a flash forward in Chapter 1, where Tart stands tied to a wooden stake, her hair cropped short as she awaits her execution by fire. [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] attempts to run towards Tart but is stopped by a pair of armed guards. The scene then cuts to the present day as [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]], Tart, Riz and Melissa are attempting to stop [[Minou]] from escaping yet again. They are deterred by [[Lame]], who is easily defeated. However Minou uses her abilities to cause Lame to fall into deep despair and instantly become a witch, fighting off the girls as she makes her escape.
The story then begins in a flashback with Tart reminiscing about the time that she first met Riz at her home town and the subsequent death of her sister Catherine at the hands of bandits resulting in Tart making her contract with Kyubey. Tart and Riz journey onward, with Tart asking what they should do next. Kyubey responds that there is much turmoil in France due to the lack of a true king sitting on the throne and reminds Tart that it is her duty also to defeat the witches that ravage France. On their journey to Vaucoleurs, Riz and Tart find that the town has been beset by a witch, as several witch-kissed soldiers aim their arrows at the two girls. Despite not being able to summon a weapon naturally, Tart is able to conjure a sword of light magic and disposes of the witch instantly. However, she used up vast amounts of magic in doing so to Riz’s dismay. Riz and Kyubey then explain how all magical girls irrevocably turn into witches if they use up all of their magic. Having defeated the witch, the girls are welcomed into the village where Lord Baurdicourt offers the girls what help he can and is able to secure an audience with the Dauphin for Tart. The girls then head out for Chinon after hearing the news of the French army’s defeat at Orleans by “three mere girls”. During their journey, Tart and Riz defeat more witches, but Riz warns Tart to better learn to control her powers before she enters battle since she drains her magic needlessly every time.

The girls soon arrive at Chinon, where they make announcement of their arrival and prepare for their audience with the Dauphin Charles. Charles decides to play a trick on Tart in order to test her and instructs Lord Gilles to sit on his throne in his place. As Tart enters the courtroom, both her and Kyubey sense something off about Gilles and announce to all that he is not the Dauphin. Somehow, Tart is able to sense who Charles really is among the courtiers and kneels before him. Stunned, Charles orders Tart to speak with him privately in his bedchambers. After affirming to Charles that she was indeed sent by God to place him on his rightful throne, Charles and Tart exit the room where he announces to all that La Pucelle is truly a messenger from God. After extensive testing by various theologians, her status as a messenger from God is confirmed to all, causing her fame to spread and more soldiers to volunteer for the war. Charles then assigns Lord Gilles and [[Etienne de Vignolles]] in charge of the troops that are to journey to Orleans, as Etienne assigns his daughter [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] to act as a handmaiden to Tart and Riz. Melissa introduces herself to Tart and Riz, who both insist on dispensing with the formalities. The group soon encounter a small village that has seemingly been burned to the ground. Etienne returns to the main group of soldiers to warn them of the dangers ahead as Melissa remains in the village with Tart and Riz. Soon they encounter a witch’s barrier in from of the dilapidated church in the center of town. As Tart and Riz do battle with the witch inside, Kyubey takes Melissa with him into the barrier in order for her to watch the magical girls do battle and convince her to contract as well. As the witch is about to attack Melissa, she is saved by a barrier placed by [[Pernelle]]. Pernelle scolds Kyubey for bringing in outsiders as a magical girl is attempting to do battle and hands Tart a magically-imbued sword. Tart uses the sword to defeat the witch easily while conserving most of her magic power. As Pernelle introduces herself, she soon leaves through one of her portals.

The group slowly yet surely make their way to Orleans. Along the way they are able to recapture several forts that had been taken by the English forces and are soon able to camp not far from the outskirts of Orleans as they prepare to do battle the next day. Tart shows off her newly embroidered standard with a design of Kyubey on it to her friends. During the nightly revelry, Melissa reveals to Tart and Riz that she had been thinking about becoming a magical girl ever since Kyubey said she had the potential for it. Tart prefers that she stay as she is rather than risk herself in battle. The following day the soldiers and the girls began their assault on the fortress, the soldiers leaning ladders against the fortress’ walls but [[Corbeau]] is there to greet them and summons black feathers that rain down and impale the soldiers. She leaps down to where Riz and Tart stand. Corbeau knocks Tart away with a single blow before trading blows with Riz. Despite the injuries she’s taken, Corbeau heals herself with magic and Riz notices how incredibly dark her soul gem has become. Corbeau laughs as Riz realizes the truth: Corbeau is able to push her impurities onto other magical girls. By now Tart has managed to struggle her way back to where Riz and Corbeau are and offers to help. Riz tells her to stay back and Corbeau agrees, snapping her finger which causes her servant, [[Flèche]], to aim several arrows at Tart, a few of which find their mark. Riz looks up to see Flèche watching them from one of the fortress' towers. Corbeau charges at Riz once more and is able to pin her down using her black feathers. As Flèche continues to shoot arrows at Tart, Corbeau walks to where Tart lays. Etienne sneaks up and strikes at Corbeau from behind in an attempt to defend Tart, but Corbeau also throws Etienne into the ground face first, knocking him unconscious. Melissa rushes to her father's side and Riz calls out to her, telling her to get away from the front lines as soon as possible. Corbeau tells Flèche to make sure nothing is left of La Hire and Flèche conjures a large spear-like arrow and fits it to her bow. As she unleashes the arrow aimed at Melissa and her father, Tart suddenly stands before them and takes the full brunt of the attack, sparing the two humans. As the dust settles, Tart asks Melissa if she's alright, and thanks heaven she is as Tart stands there with a large hole the size of her fist in her right shoulder. Tart collapses face first as Melissa calls out her name. As Corbeau laughs, the dust settling, Melissa stands before her, now a magical girl as well.

Melissa battles Corbeau, attempting to defeat her with her matter disintegration magic but fails. Corbeau is surprised that Melissa is now a magical girl and doesn’t seem to recognize Kyubey. Riz pulls Melissa and Tart into her shadow realm and explains the significance of soul gems. She asks Tart to hold onto Riz and Melissa’s soul gems as she battles off Flèche and they battle Corbeau. Riz pops out of a shadow behind Corbeau, throwing her off as she realizes that Riz can jump from shadow to shadow. As she throws a feather dagger at her, Riz disappears into a shadow once more before reappearing at Corbeau's feet behind her. Riz fends off her attacks with her dagger as Corbeau taunts her, making fun of her for only defending herself and not attacking. Tart and Melissa materialize behind Flèche and Corbeau respectively. Both of them swing their weapons at their opponents but are unable to successfully connect their attacks. Corbeau calls out to Flèche to provide support as she fends off attacks from both Melissa and Riz. She then calls to Flèche to finish off La Pucelle with another attack like the one that nearly killed her earlier. Tart prepares another attack against Flèche, but Flèche has dropped down one side of the tower they were fighting on. As Flèche runs backwards down the side of the tower, she launches arrow after arrow right at Tart, each one finding their mark. She turns and using her momentum is able to run sideways across the walls of the fortress, launching more arrows up in her wake. As the dust settles, Tart remains unharmed. Corbeau is furious at all this and demands Flèche use her full magic, as if she intends to drain herself dry. Tart braces herself for the incoming attack and thinks back to when they were still on their journey over. As Tart remembers the words of Riz telling her that she too will trust in that hope, she powers herself up and conjures a standard and lance with her magic just as Flèche is finishing powering up her final arrow attack. Tart unleashes a large beam of pure magical energy as she uses her ultimate move: La Lumiere. The attack destroys the tower where Flèche was standing as well as leaving a sizeable hole in the fortress.

Corbeau returns her attention and attacks on Riz and Melissa, who are able to coordinate a few successful attacks of their own on Corbeau. Corbeau soon realizes something is wrong as her soul gem begins to darken from the exertion of battle. Back at the scene of battle, Flèche stirs slightly as Minou appears before her. She had planned to gather up what was left of her but instead she conjures a seal with her magic and presses it to Flèche, causing her to scream. Corbeau, meanwhile, laments the impurities of her soul gem as Riz asks her how it feels to be defeated by her own power. As she summons black feathers around her, Minou walks over and calls out to Corbeau. She tells her she knows better than to use *that* while there are still English troops in the vicinity. Corbeau warns Minou away since she will automatically absorb any impurities in Corbeau's soul gem. But Minou isn't worried and tells her [[Lapine]] had been asking for her. She tells Corbeau to leave everything to Flèche instead as the two disappear through one of Minou’s portals. The remaining French soldiers with Gille at the lead finally arrive at the fortress just as Flèche's witch form has spawned and stands ready and waiting in the courtyard. Tart leaps out from the tower and strikes at the witch's head with her sword. While the attack wasn't quite enough to stop the witch, it powers up its attack and Tart only barely manages to turn its head just as it fires off its attack. She grips her sword tightly and slashes the witch down the middle, parting it neatly in half. The witch explodes and is finished off.

Melissa congratulates Tart but Tart assures her it wasn't just her who finished off the witch. As the smoke clears from a gun muzzle, Elisa stands at the edge of a cliff side some considerable distance away. Two men stand behind her, her uncle and the constable who praises her shot. They wonder if this was enough to secure the fate of Orleans and can see that the tide is now beginning to turn in this war. Elisa tells them to leave it to her as she will offer her greetings to the Dauphin Charles in person as well as introduce herself to La Pucelle. The leader of the English forces, John Talbot, breaks ranks and asks if they can be allowed to leave since they clearly stand no chance against the French army. Both Batard and Tart agree and allow the remaining English forces to leave with their lives. Batard declares Orleans liberated from the English much to the gusto of the French forces.

At the town of Loches, the Dauphin personally welcomes the retinue and congratulates them on their victory. It seems Elisa and her uncle raced ahead to inform the Dauphin of the news. Elisa introduces herself to Tart, Riz, and Melissa and telepathically informs them she too is a magical girl. She was sent on orders of her mother the Holy Roman Empress to see for herself the powers of La Pucelle and to render assistance if she is truly a messenger from God. Having witness the battle at Orleans, they offer their services to the Dauphin Charles. Sometime later, Elisa challenges Tart to a friendly duel but due to her battle experience she is able to defeat Tart easily. Angered, Melissa herself challenges Elisa to a duel and throws her bodily into the air. That evening, Elisa pouts in her room as Melissa enters in her maid’s uniform, offering refreshments and an apology for losing her temper. Elisa dismisses her apology, since it was a duel after all and promises to not taunt Tart in the future. After asking for Tart, and being informed that she was called to court, Elisa and her uncle head off to find a certain person.

In the Great Hall of the Chateau de Loches, Tart argues for the Dauphin to be coronated at Reims as soon as possible. While Gilles and Batard agree, the chamberlain has his own opinion on how to proceed when the Dauphin’s son burst in and is overjoyed to meet Tart. Tart promises to have his father coronated as soon as possible, the Dauphin agreein to this plan due to the prompting of his son. While the chamberlain wonders what could have brought the child to the hall at this exact moment, he eyes Oswald and Elisa who are speaking familiarly with the Dauphin’s wife.

At the city of Patay, Minou, Corbeau and Lapine stand at the head of the English forces as Lapine jumps up and down in joy at the thought of finally being able to play after waiting for so long. At the head of the French forces stand Tart, Elisa, Melissa and Riz as they note the three magical girls facing them but not recognizing Lapine as they hadn't met her before now. Corbeau turns to John Talbot and tells him they'll be acting as they please. Before they can begin, Lapine races ahead of her sisters and commences her attack. However, Elisa and Melissa are able to strike her down immediately, causing her soul gem to darken and Lapine to turn into a witch. Suddenly, the soldiers' weapons from both armies as well as Riz and Melissa's weapons begin to float in the air. Tart looks around bewildered as the soldiers fall back, unable to proceed with their fight so long as they remain without weapons. Only Tart and Elisa are able to retain their weapons thanks to the magics Pernelle has imbued them with. Lapine, now in a rabbit-like witch form, floats beneath the weapons as she directs them at Melissa and Riz. The weapons, now under the command of the witch, fly straight at the girls damaging them as Tart attempts to knock as many as she can away with her sword. Elisa, meanwhile, continues to shoot down as many of the weapons as possible when Melissa suddenly notices a huge shadow looming on them and calls out to Riz. The witch has amassed the weapons and shields she stole into a giant sword-like shape which starts to fall towards them. Riz calls Melissa to get into her shadow where she can pull them to safety but the eyes on the witch's cape flash at them, causing Melissa and Riz to revert from their magical girl forms to their human forms.

The sword-shaped conglomeration of weapons bears down on them and would have crushed them had Tart not suddenly appeared in front of them and slashed at the weapons with her own sword. Melissa, Riz, Tart, and Elisa revert back into their normal forms every time Lapine or her rabbit disks flash their eyes at them. Just as they’re getting their bearings, Corbeau charges at Riz who is just barely able to block her attack with her bare arms. Corbeau and Riz trade blows as Melissa tries to assist as best she can without her weapon, imbuing rocks with her magic and throwing them at Corbeau. Elisa and Tart attempt to coordinate a surprise attack on Lapine, but the eyes on her cape have the same ability as her rabbit eyes and they both revert to normal girls temporarily. Despite this, the two girls are eventually able to distract Lapine and successfully defeat her with Elisa’s rifle-turned-canon. However, her defeat only causes her to revert back into a magical girl, owing to the nature of her wish and the abilities it granted her. Minou retreats with an unconscious Lapine into one of her portals as Corbeau unleashes her Danse Macabre. Reaper-like skeletons fly out of the magic circles Corbeau summoned, black feathers flying out from their eyeless sockets. Everyone begins to double over in pain, wondering what's happening to their bodies. Riz looks at the tumor-like boils on her hands and recognizes it as something she's seen before. Corbeau laughs and reminds Riz she told her this fight would be a massacre and tells them all to show her the dance of death. As both the French and English forces alike lay doubled in agony, Corbeau beats down the weakened magical girls. Tart struggles to her feet and attempts to fight Corbeau, but is too weakened to do more than swing her sword feebly. Corbeau picks her up by the neck and mocks Tart’s attempts to fight back. As Tart warns her that she’s hurting her English allies as well with her magic, Corbeau scoffs and responds that she doesn’t care since her magic will kill everyone who comes near. She demands to know what it matters since everyone must die eventually, just like Tart’s sister. At these words, Tart's soul gem shines brightly and Corbeau's fingers are bent backwards as the force of Tart's magic caused her to be released from her grip. Tart glows with the power of her magic and an immense magic circle of Tart's doing appears in the sky overhead, casting light down on the soldiers below.

As the light bathes the battlefield, all of the soldiers and magical girls both English and French alike begin to stand and realize they've been healed of plague as well as their wounds. Corbeau is enraged by this and as she demands to know who Tart really is, Tart leaps up and slashed down her sword with full force at Corbeau, ultimately defeating her as the force of it knocks her into some nearby woods. She lands against the trunk of a tree and falls to her knees, greatly weakened. Tart aims her blade at Corbeau, telling her this is the end as Corbeau tries to stand. But all Corbeau can think of is her two sisters, Lapine and Minou. Before she can deliver the finishing blow, a portal appears behind Corbeau and Minou steps through. {{spoiler|While Corbeau is overfilled with joy at the sight of her sister, Minou kneels down and takes Corbeau’s soul gem in her hands, informing her this is the end. Confused, Corbeau asks her why and if she doesn't see how much she loves her and Lapine. Minou confirms that this is what she suspected and says she stopped serving their benefactor a long time ago. As Corbeau yells out once more to Minou asking her why she can't understand how much she loves them, Minou shatters Corbeau's soul gem and tells her she doesn't love her any longer. Corbeau falls forward, calling out her sisters' names as she dies. Minou tells her that at the very least she will tell Lapine that Corbeau died honorably in battle. Tart angrily demands she explain herself as Riz calls her heartless. As Minou summons a portal, she giggles and says it'll be something to look forward to as she gathers Corbeau's body and takes it back with her, leaving the heroines alone in the woods.}}

The two turn to go, knowing the battle isn't over yet. Out in the nearby woods Tart, Melissa, Riz and Elisa are just able to hear the cries of the troops and wonder what may be happening. Pernelle appears from behind a tree and informs the girls that the French has won a victory. After asking how they’re doing, Pernelle informs them of a prophecy spreading throughout France that predicts that Tart will save France. While Charles had the right to inherit the throne, it was a woman that sold that right to the King of England and now Tart has appeared and reclaimed Orleans, opening a path for Charles to be coronated. Thus far the prophecy is fulfilling itself. Elisa and Tart both argue that it was due to their and the soldiers’ efforts that France is being liberated and not just some prophecy. Pernelle smiles and tells her to never hold back in saying what she feels from her heart. But she asks that Tart never forgets that, while a larger fate may be at work here, it is Tart who is at the center of that flow of fate. As she magically teleports away, she tells them to make their way to Reims where she may meet them again. Now that the road to Reims was secured, Dauphin Charles was coronated as the King of France. With this, the wishes of La Pucelle as well as the people of France were realized.

Charles and the other courtiers celebrate the coronation of Charles when suddenly the lights cut out, leaving the room plunged in total darkness. A scream is heard and as they turn towards the sound, a light can be seen. But this is no ordinary light, it is several women burning alive and screaming as between the flames, Minou and another woman can be seen walking towards Charles. Riz and Tart quickly transform and stand ready to defend the king. They demand he run towards safety, but Charles stammers and looks like he is about to scream as he recognizes the smiling woman who stands before Minou. As he collapses to the ground, he demands to know what she is doing here. It is his mother, the woman who sold out France to the English, [[Isabeau|Isabeau de Baviere]]. As Isabeau appears in the courtroom, Riz, Melissa and Tart stand ready to defend the newly crowned king, already transformed into their magical girl states. Charles begs Tart to save him from his mother, the queen, and demands she kill her. At his word Tart rushes forward and stabs her sword straight through the queen's heart as she stands there. Charles initially laughs at this display, but the queen smiles as a white miasma escapes from the queen's wound and she merely stands there smiling. Tart leaps back, certain she had injured the queen but thinking to herself that it didn't feel like she had stabbed her. Riz summons her shadowy tendrils and ties the queen up as Elisa and Melissa both swing their weapons directly at her. Isabeau merely smiles more broadly, completely unharmed from both their attacks. She raises her finger and shoots a beam of magical energy at the two girls, causing them to be knocked away hard. Tart draws her power to herself and summons her standard, unleashing her "La Lumiere" attack directly on Isabeau, the excess power blasting out the castle's windows. However, the dust clears and Isabeau remains where she stands, not a hair on her head harmed. Tart is amazed that she remained undamaged even after using that much magic power on her, but Minou sneaks up behind Tart and knocks her down with her whip. Isabeau staggers suddenly and whispers something to Minou as Minou stands and declares the words of her queen "In one year's time death shall befall La Pucelle!" Minou and Isabeau leave through Minou's portal as Charles cries and the magical girls tend to their wounds.

The following day, after the group gathers to discuss that night’s events. Tart's followers want to liberate Paris as quickly as possible. However, the chamberlain La Remoille advising the haggard King Charles, sending entreaties to the English forces asking for a ceasefire. The result of the endless delays was that the army had to wait until close to August before it could depart from Reims. Finally the order came for the army to advance toward Paris. From August 1429, Charles showed no signs of recovery. In fact, just when everyone thought he had finally given the order to liberate Paris on September 9, only two days later, the order was rescinded. Shortly thereafter, the order came to disband his army altogether. It seemed the king's confusion was worsening. All of the forces who supported La Pucelle were completely disbanded. But Tart went questing throughout France for some eight months, virtually alone, searching for Isabeau. Finally in Compiegne, a town in the north of France, they discovered a witch’s barrier with the symbol of a cuckoo at the center. As they enter the barrier, they are greeted by Minou who summons an army of magical girls through her many portals. As the girls arrive, Minou summons branding irons and brands the girls, causing them to fall into deep despair and transform into witches instantly. She commands the witch army forward as she declares this to be the appointed time at which death would befall La Pucelle.

Tart, Riz, Melissa and Elisa stand ready as they face down an army of witches that Minou has summoned to destroy them. The first witch, who appears like a gigantic woman in a dress with a tassel for a head, brings her arm down on our heroes who are just barely able to leap out of harm’s way. Tart blocks the witch's arm with her bare strength and slashes at it with her sword. The cleaved half of the arm falls heavily on the ground behind her but before she can react, the hand of another witch reaches for Tart. However Melissa is able to block the attack on Tart with her polearm just in time, warning Tart to not overdo it. Riz calls out to the others, advising them to stay together as there are a vast number of witches they must face. Tart summons her strength as she prepares to take out all of the witches at once but Riz warns her not to do so, knowing Minou's strategy is to deplete their magic as much as possible. As Elisa fires left and right with her rifle, she tells Tart she won't have to use her magic since she'll take out all the witches for her. Minou watches the battle rage on before her and decides that this small contingency of witches won't be enough to stop them and turns to where Lapine now stands and informs her of her chance to take revenge for the loss of their sister. Lapine is enraged and more than eager to tear them limb from limb. She begins by summoning her rabbit-shaped discs and impeding their magical girl transformations. Despite this, Riz is easily able to dodge her attacks and slashes at her rabbit-shaped discs as Lapine is not used to combat the way her sister Corbeau was. When Riz informs Lapine that it was in fact {{spoiler| Minou who killed her sister}}, this causes Lapine to snap with rage and abandon all thinking.

Riz aims to shatter Lapine's soul gem in order to prevent her from transforming into her witch form, but the news she received and the subsequent despair it caused her has instead only accelerated the impurities of Lapine's soul gem. It is too late, as Lapine quickly becomes a witch continues her attacks on the girls. The magical girls coordinate their attacks and unleash Melissa’s ultimate destructive move on Lapine. But it is not enough and Lapine reemerges from the bottom of the crater formed by the explosion, now human and her soul gem cleansed. Minou then causes a portal to appear beneath Elisa and Melissa and transports them to a different part of the castle in which they are battling. Tart and Riz are left to fend for themselves against not only Lapine's witch form, but the army of witches that are left from earlier. Tart and Riz begin to grow weary from the fighting and the amount of magic they've spent, causing Riz to charge her soul gem’s power and throw a dagger at Lapine’s feet. Shadows emerge from the dagger and wrap themselves around Lapine, effectively immobilizing her. As Tart calls out to her, Riz summons her ultimate attack, ''Gates of Hell''. {{spoiler| A large marble doorway comes up from the ground, skeletons adorning its framework. As the Gates of Hell begin to crack open, shadowy hands reach out from inside each of them grabbing at a different part of Lapine. She cries out for them to let go of her but they continue to hold on relentlessly as more hands reach out from the gate and grab at the witches in the area and pull them into the dark void that lurks behind the doors. Lapine continues to strain at the shadowy hands, crying out that nothing Riz does will make a difference since she'll keep coming back over and over again, returning to normal only for her to kill Riz no matter how many times it takes her. Riz acknowledges this, and informs her that she will be joining Lapine inside the black void of the gates to prevent her from escaping as the doors can only be opened from the outside. As Riz walks into the gate, Lapine is pulled into the darkness with her and the doors snap shut behind them, effectively ending Lapine’s life.}}

Tart sinks to her knees in tears as the witch’s barrier dissipates and she finds herself surrounded by enemy soldiers, where she is then taken prisoner. Despite being the one who placed him on the throne, King Charles refused to pay the ransom for Tart and she was subsequently sold to the English and placed on trial for heresy. The trial was filled with French judges who favored the English and Tart was declared guilty. Tart was then hidden away by Isabeau and Minou and hidden in a prison cell no one knew where. One day, Tart lays on the barren floor of her cell, Kyubey talking to her and encouraging her to get up once more. Minou enters Tart’s cell with Queen Isabeau and begins to lash her with her whip, berating Tart and Kyubey. As Tart attempts to defend Kyubey, commotion is heard from outside. The French army has amassed and are attempting to liberate Tart now that they've discovered her location. Minou goes outside to deal with the soldiers personally as Isabeau follows behind her. The soldiers know they'll be unable to defeat Minou, but are prepared to lose their lives in order to buy the distraction that Elisa, Melissa, and Pernelle need to rescue Tart. The three magical girls are able to subdue the remaining soldiers they encounter on their way. They break into the prison cell where they embrace Tart and are finally able to encourage her to stand up and fight once more. Back out on the battlefield, Minou lashes her whip repeatedly, causing the soldiers to be thrown into the air by the force of her attacks.

Batard and Richmont worry they won't be able to do anything more than evade her attacks as La Hire rallies the troops once more with a battle-cry for La Pucelle. Isabeau makes her way outside, Minou humbling herself before her. Isabeau waves her hands before her which causes the troops to collapse to their knees, their strength being sucked out from them. As she aims her hand forward, a magic circle having formed around it, Tart stabs a standard into the ground before her and blocks her next move. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart, but Elisa and Melissa hold them off so Tart can race in towards Isabeau. Once more her sword attacks seem to have no effect on the queen. Isabeau raises her hands once more and fires a beam of magic directly at her. As the dust settles, Tart looks up from behind her shield to find that [[Pernelle]] has blocked the attack with her own magic circle, explaining to Tart that Isabeau is immune to attacks due to someone else's wish.

{{Spoilerbox|about=the endgame|
Kyubey and Pernelle explain to Tart that Isabeau is now part magical girl, part witch, and part incubator thanks to her and Lapine’s wish. Minou declares to all that she wished for Isabeau to be undefeated by any magical girl. Isabeau transforms into her witch state as the empty shell of her human body sits cradled in an enormous hand jutting from the ground nearby. As Tart, Elisa and Melissa continues the struggle against the witch Crepuscule de la Reine (Twilight of the Queen), all of their attacks having no effect on the witch. Tart’s soul gem grows black with impurities as she reaches her limit, when she suddenly hears the voice of Riz reminding her of her sword training back in her home village. From before Tart, Riz's soul gem materializes from a shadow as Riz tells her that her final vow was for her soul to remain with her from that day forward. Even if Riz's body was lost, her soul remained behind like her shadow, always by Tart's side. Tart’s gauntlet turns black with Riz’s soul gem encased on the back. As Tart’s soul gem crackles with impurities, she slashes her sword down and successfully injures the witch. Due to Riz's wish, Tart’s soul gem has been prevented from transforming into a grief seed, making her more than just a magical girl. Before Tart can finish her off, Isabea's body begins to shake as a larger body emerges from underneath, a second larger witch form that causes the cathedral to crumble under the size and might of this new body as everyone gazes up in terror at the true form of Crepuscule de la Reine. However, Tart remains determined as ever as she faces down her foe. Isabeau begins to charge her cannon and aims it at Tart who immediately summons her standard and smashes through the center of it, causing the cannon to crumble. As Isabeau flies above the ruined cathedral, Tart summons a massive magic circle in the sky above her in an attack known as the Gate of Heaven. The center of the circle slides open like a gateway as crosses of light pierce Isabeau and hold her in place. Tart leaps up and swings her weapon down at the witch, slicing the massive body in half and then half again. As the pieces of the witch's corpse fall back to earth, the gate closes and disappears. Tart's shadowy gauntlet also begins to dissipate as Riz's soul gem crumbles. Tart thanks Riz for protecting her until the very end.
}}
Melissa and Elisa race over to Tart, overjoyed that the battle is finally over and their greatest enemy defeated. But Tart faints, weak from the overexertion her soul gem has taken due to the battle. Pernelle hands the girls a grief seed in order to purify her gem but before they can do so, they're interrupted by the lamentations of Minou who stands over her mother's human body. Though her soul was that of a witch, her original body still remains thanks to her wish, but it is now quite literally an empty shell. Melissa and Elisa prepare themselves to defend Tart as Minou threatens to kill them herself no matter what may happen. Suddenly, Minou's soul gem shatters. She demands answers and Pernelle provides them: having been created by an imperfect creator she lost her powers the moment Isabeau was destroyed. Minou is devastated by the news and orders her soldiers to capture and kill them all but Tart offers herself as a prisoner in exchange for the lives of the French soldiers. Minou accepts gleefully. In May 1431 Tart was burned at the stake in a public square. Melissa and Elisa are present as Tart offers her final words of gratitude to the friends that were with her throughout her journey. Pernelle also is in the crowd and asks Kyubey why he didn’t just allow Tart to become a witch, but Kyubey responds that Tart did what he asked of him and he is repaying the favor by allowing her to die on her own terms. Just before the flames consume Tart entirely, she says, "I want to say to everything in the world...merci vraiment! Thank you!" as her soul takes on the form of a white dove that flies out of the flames.

===Tart in [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]]===
''See [[Tart in Magia Record]] and [[Tart (Final ver.)]]'' 

''A Magical Girl from medieval France known today as Jeanne d'Arc. Upon the death of her dear sister, Catherine, she resolved to save France from the brink of ruin. Simple, innocent, and trusting of others, she fondly refers to Cube (Kyubey) as "Monsieur Angel".''

Tart appears in Magia Record as a playable unit, which shows her first voice acted and animated appearance. She is mostly the same, although she is referred to as "Darc".

===Tart in [[Magia Exedra]]===
''See [[Tart in Magia Exedra]]''
==Powers and Abilities==
Because of {{spoiler|Riz Hawkwood's wish,}} Tart is an abnormally powerful magical girl who Kyubey calls an "anomaly." She often destroys her enemies with blasts of energy, usually channeled through a magically-composed weapon. While incredibly powerful, these blast drain a great deal of her magic, taking a heavy burden on her. She has high offensive and defensive abilities, able to take direct hits from other magical girls without harm, and these abilities were enhanced even further after her near-death experience at the hands of Corbeau and her subsequent revival as a result of Melissa's wish. After her revival, Tart demonstrated the ability to conjure a flag standard that she could use to fire her most powerful attack "La Lumiere." Upon meeting with another magical girl named Pernelle, Tart was gifted a sword known as the "Épée de Clovis," which was forged with metal that had magical properties and was housed at the church of St. Catherine. This allowed her to channel smaller amounts of her magic into the sword and made it easier for her to conserve her magical power in battle.

When Corbeau used her Danse Macabre to infect both the English and French armies with bubonic plague, including any magical girls, Tart was able to use her abilities to summon a magical circle in the sky (similar to Madoka's attack), which rained down on the populace below. Everyone who had been infected with the plague were subsequently healed. During her final battle with Isabeau, Tart summoned a magic circle in the sky once again, this time opening like a gate from which powerful beams of light shapes like crosses shoot down, piercing her enemy. This ultimate attack was named "The Gates of Heaven", in contrast to Riz's "Gates of Hell" attack.

Later, during her final fight with Isabeau {{spoiler|she gains Riz's soul gem as well as her powers. Now armed with the powers of Light and Shadow, she returns to using her original light sword and gains the ability to transform it into her pennon, a blade, Riz's scythe, and Riz's daggers. According to Magia Archive, she would have also been able to transform it into a whip but it was never shown in the manga}}.

==Observations==
* She is known as Jeanette by her friends and family, and referred to as 'La Pucelle' by the French soldiers and officials. The later is a shortened version of 'La Pucelle d'Orléans' (The Maid of Orléans), a common nickname for Joan of Arc. On it's own, 'La Pucelle' can be translated as "The Maiden".
* She is a lightweight when it comes to drinking, as even a single cup of wine can turn her head and cause her to glomp onto her friends Riz and Melissa.

==Etymology==
Kyubey asked Jeanne to spell her name out since it would be easier for him, however Jeanne was not very literate and was only taught to write her name by the village priest. After looking at her name, Kyubey decides her surname "Tart" sounded better and decides to refer to her as that.

See [[wikipedia:Name_of_Joan_of_Arc|wikipedia article on Joan of Arc's names]].

==Trivia==
*The poem appearing in the prologue, as Tart burns, is [[wikipedia:Satanism_and_Witchcraft_(book)|''La Sorcière'']] (''Satanism and Witchcraft'' in its English translation) by [[wikipedia:Jules_Michelet|Jules Michelet]]. The book details the supposed origins and lifestyle of witches, which fits with how Jeanne D'arc was burned in real life for "being a witch".
*The design of the Épée de Clovis is based on [[wikipedia:Joyeuse|Joyeuse]], legendary sword of Charlemagne.

Talk:Elisa Celjska

2026-06-11T07:18:24Z

Inquisitor Krieg: /* "Eliza" vs. "Elisa" */

== "Eliza" vs. "Elisa" ==

So, as we know, her name is "Elisa". However, the katakana spells it "Eliza". Since its a minor change and not like "Arina Gurei" for Alina Gray (which I see the meaning behind now. I wasn't getting it before), could I ask the reasoning behind removing the "Eliza Celjska" part of the nihongo template? [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 05:02, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
: My reasoning for removing the nihongo template (and I'm going to do a pass to make this consistent) is that the name is not Japanese in origin. For example, in the case of Elisa it's a Slovene name. Isabeau, Tart, and Melissa obviously have French names. I'm not entirely sure of the language origin of Liz's name, but it is most likely either English or Italian. Similarly, Alina's and Ashley's names are clearly not of Japanese origin. Ashley's is clearly English. I'm not sure of Alina, but I'd guess possibly German or Italian. (The latter fits with how the official translation had her use gratuitous Italian instead of gratuitous English, so I guess it's the best guess.) What they all have in common is that the original (Japanese) author took a non-Japanese name and converted it into katakana so that Japanese readers could roughly understand how it's pronounced. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 06:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
:: Also, a note on the sa / za discrepancy – it's very unclear whether the correct sound in her name is actually an S or a Z. Tart Magica uses the Slovene spelling, "Elisa Celjska", but I can't find a reference for that on Wikipedia at all. Her name in Hungarian (after she marries the king of Hungary) is Luxemburgi Erzsébet (apparently Hungary, like Japan, puts the surname first). This represents neither an S nor a Z, but rather the sound of the S in "Asia". However, that's somewhat weak evidence since it's not the country of her birth. In English she is usually named Elizabeth of Luxembourg, which seems to suggest a Z would be correct, but again that's not the country of her birth. I can't find anything on Wikipedia to support which pronunciation is more correct, but… it's ''entirely'' possible that the English translators did their research and corrected a minor error in the original work. It's ''also'' entirely possible that the English translators ''didn't'' do enough research and made a mistake. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 06:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
::: Throwing in my two cents. Looking through the different language wikis, in German she’s Elisabeth and in Slovene she’s Elizabeta. With the katakana using za and her attachment to the Celjska name, I think using Eliza would be correct.

==History==
The fifth son of the previous French King, Charles VI, and the crown prince (Dauphin) of the French monarchy. By 1417, all four of his older brothers had died, and Charles was named crown prince. But not long after, the alliance of England and Burgundy forced Charles VI to sign the Treaty of Troyes, denying his son Charles his birthright as heir to the throne. A Burgundian chronicler wrote that Charles VII was extremely thin, gangly, and weak-boned with an odd, wavering gait. It was a pretty awful description, even from an enemy political faction.

===In ''Puella Magi Tart Magica: The Legend of "Jeanne d'Arc"''===
{{stub}}
Charles de Valois appears in ''Puella Magi Tart Magica: The Legend of "Jeanne d'Arc"'' as the rightful King of England who [[Tart]] wishes to crown. Thanks to her efforts, he is able to be crowned and becomes a uniting factor behind the French forces. After the war, he is convinced by [[George de la Tremoille]] that Tart is a witch and subjects her to trial, in which she is found guilty. Her execution is seen at the start and end of ''Puella Magi Tart Magica: The Legend of "Jeanne d'Arc"''. After, Charles greatly regrets his decision.

==In real life==
[[wikipedia:Charles VII of France|Charles VII of France]] was born on the 22nd of February, 1403, in Paris, France. When he became the Dauphin, all of his siblings and family had died without any children. This gave him a large amount of money and many titles. He was forced to flee Paris on May 29th, 1418 due to a threat on his life by partisans of [[wikipedia:John the Fearless|John the Fearless]] and the [[wikipedia:Duke of Burgundy|Duke of Burgundy]]. John the Fearless was killed, and tensions rose between the Armagnac and Burgundian factions in France. The feud was only settled when Charles made a treaty with [[wikipedia:Philip the Good|Philip the Good]], John the Fearless' son and promised to pay penance for the murder, which was never payed. 
When his father died in 1422, a power struggle began. Charles and Henry V of England's heir both held a right to the throne due to the [[wikipedia:Treaty of Troyes|Treaty of Troyes]]. Charles argued that the treaty was made with taking advantage of his father and also argued that the young Henry VI was too young to lead France (at the time, Henry VI was an infant). However, his attempts were unsuccessful and he prepared for war. 
Thus, the [[wikipedia:Hundred Years' War|Hundred Years' War]] was continued under Dauphin Charles. At first, he was losing and was pushed back by English forces into the south of France. However, before they lost, [[wikipedia:Joan of Arc|Joan of Arc]] appeared and vowed to make Charles the King of France. With her uniting the French forces, Charles won the Hundred Years' War and was crowned as King. They were able to completely remove Britain from France, save the northernmost ports. 
In the later years of his life, Charles began feuding with his heir [[wikipedia:Louis XI|Louis XI]]. Louis had repeatedly asked to become Dauphin, and Charles repeatedly refused. Louis had planned to overthrow Charles, but the plan was found out and Louis was exiled. Charles died 22 July 1461, aged 58, due to an infection that he had gained in 1458.

==Etymology==
The name '''Charles''' comes from the old English word "''ceorl''", meaning "''free man''". '''The House of Valois''' is the royal family that Charles is a part of.

==Summary==
A masked Magical Girl who fights in the shadows for the English in the Hundred Years’ War. The youngest sister of three, her behavior is calm and calculated. She directs her battles from the sidelines rather than take center stage. Her mother is a noblewoman, whom she loves more than anyone.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel_402400_l.png|thumb|right|150px|Capricieux, Minou's doppel]]
The Doppel of cruelty. Its form is a mischievous cat. The master of this emotion sets the stage of the battlefield like a conductor waving her baton. It may take the form of a cat, but the depths of its mischievous grin are unimaginably dark, and a fearsome, insanity-laden instinct hides within its furthest reaches. Its ninefold waving tails are each equipped with an implement of torture. Every time it waves its tails, the tails hunt and harm those who oppose it, and continue to do so until its victims can no longer move– much like how a cat simply plays with its prey, rather than hunting it.
{{-}}

===Side Story===

==Abilities==
Minou is able to summon various instruments of torture as her weapons, such as a cat-o-nine tails whip and a branding iron.

Minou has demonstrated the ability to create portals, which she uses to travel long distances. She can also corrupt the soul gems of other magical girls.

In her Side Story is confirmed that due to a side effect of her wish, Minou is the only one capable of understanding Isabeau's ambiguous words after she turned into a witch and was reversed into her body by Lapin's wish.

==Etymology==
* Minou is the French word for "kitty".

==Trivia==
* Her Doppel's name means "capricious" in French.
* Her Magia attack is French for "Cat o' Nine Tails", her weapon of choice.
* Her eye color was changed from green to yellow from her initial event debut to her release.
* Her Doppel holds 8 weapons on its tails, and in the clockwise order of how they're held they are:
** Iron maiden ring: A circular collar device with inward and outward-facing spikes. This seems to be a miniaturized symbolic take on the Iron Maiden or the spiked restraint collar. While such devices weren't used in medieval Europe, spiked collars or restraints with spikes did exist, and were mostly used to humiliate or control prisoners.
** Branding iron: Similar to the branding irons she summons, this device is a rod with a hot, circular end. Branding as a punishment was common to use against criminals or slaves at the time.
** Pincers: A gripping tool with strong, claw-like ends designed to grasp and pull. Iron pincers or tongs were widely used for torture and execution in medieval Europe, where they were heated and used to tear flesh or extract nails.
** Pear of anguish: A mechanical object with a bulbous body with a split and key-like mechanism. It is inserted into a victim's body, likely their mouth, and then expanded. This device wasn't used until around the 17th century.
*** Alternatively, what Minou's Doppel is holding could be a simple arrowhead dagger.
** Bone saw: A stylized, toothed saw for cutting through bone. It has a rough, and sparkly texture, possibly referencing a sawfish-style weapon or serrated torture blade. Saws were commonly used for execution and post-mortem procedures at the time, but bone saws for torture were less common.
** Multi-tailed whip: A weapon similar to the cat o' nine tails whip one she uses, which also has nine cords. Whips with multiple tails were used for corporal punishment in medieval Europe, but the exact “cat o’ nine tails” term came later with the British Navy in the 17th century. There’s additionally no strong evidence that a whip with exactly nine tails was standard.
** Bodkin: A sharp spike on a handle used for impaling, or puncturing, and appearing similar to a present day skewer, or screwdriver. This tool, or ones similar to it, were very common for the time period and used for many trades, including torture.
** Shears: Scissor-like cutting instruments with sharp blades, giving the impression of present-day iron cutters. They were common in everyday life, both for cloth and metal, as well as for torture procedures. This is the only tool which the Doppel holds with two of its tails.

==Story==
===Backstory===
{{Spoilerbox|
As a young girl, Minou was chosen alongside her sisters [[Lapine]] and [[Corbeau]] to be among the first magical girls [[Isabeau]] contracted due to their closely interwoven fates. Isabeau grew to become like a mother to the three girls she took in. However, she eventually turned into a witch and was poised to kill the three girls, of whom only Corbeau had as yet contracted to become a magical girl. This lead to Lapine making her wish for her mother to “return to how she was.” Since the transformation from magical girl to witch is irreversible, her wish lead to Isabeau’s witch mind inhabiting the now empty husk of her former physical body. Isabeau was no longer mindless and now retained her original powers that were granted to her from her own wish. Even so, she still retained her witch’s ambition to destroy all of France.
}}

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Minou first appeared in Chapter 1 as an unnamed antagonist. As [[Tart]], [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]], [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]], and [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] attempt to stop her, she calls [[Lame]] to her defense. Lame is easily defeated, prompting Minou to summon a magical branding iron and burns Lame with it. This causes Lame to transform into a witch, allowing Minou to escape through a portal. She later reports the defeat of Lame to her mother Isabeau.

In Chapter 5, Minou stands with Lapine and Corbeau as they finish slaughtering the soldiers of Orleans, a stronghold that held four thousand soldiers. Corbeau threatens the last of the injured soldiers as Lapine jeers and taunts them and Minou cuts off their retreat with her cat-o-nine tails. Before Corbeau can finish off the commander of the troops, someone fires an arrow at her. [[Etienne de Vignolles|Etienne]] appears, having been searching for Jean and assists him to stand. Minou notices what is happening and lashing at them with her whip, but the two are able to limp away to safety.

Back at the outskirts of Orleans, at the fort of Saint-Loup, Lapine is busy singing as she walks along the edge of the outermost wall, kicking the dismembered limbs of dead soldiers out into the distance. Corbeau asks her to go easy with the gore, claiming she's making a huge mess. Minou appears and relays orders to her sisters, leaving [[Flèche]] with Corbeau to take care of [[Tart]] as Minou takes Lapine back home for the time being.

Towards the end of the battle between Corbeau, Tart, and Riz, Minou appears before an unconscious Flèche. She had planned to gather up what was left of her but instead she conjures a seal with her magic and presses it to Fleche, causing her to scream. As Corbeau summons black feathers around her, Minou walks over and calls out to Corbeau. She tells her she knows better than to use ''that'' while there are still English troops in the vicinity. Corbeau warns Minou away since she will automatically absorb any impurities in Corbeau's soul gem. But Minou isn't worried and tells her Lapine had been asking for her. She tells Corbeau to leave everything to Fleche instead. The two disappear into Minou’s portal, leaving Tart and her friends to fend against a now transformed Flèche.

Several months later at the city of Patay, Minou, Corbeau and Lapine stand at the head of the English forces as Lapine relishes the idea of ‘playing’ with the French forces opposing them. Before Minou can say anything, Lapine had already began her attack on Tart, Riz, Melissa, and Elisa. Unfortunately, the four magical girls are able to deflect most of Lapine’s initial attacks, hitting her with their weapons several times and causing Lapine’s soul gem to darken. Minou warns Corbeau away from their sister as her soul gem transforms into a grief seed and hatches Lapine’s witch form. After transforming, Lapine activates her ability to possess any and all weapons in her vicinity, including that of her English allies (with the exception of Tart and Elisa as their weapons have magical abilities imparted on them by Pernelle. She telepathically causes them to fly at her enemies and damaging them. She even forms a towering sword-like shape composed of the weapons she’s amassed and drops it at the opposing magical girls. Tart is able to deflect this massive attack on her friends even as Lapine activates her secondary ability: the ability to cause magical girls to lose their magical girl state temporarily. As Lapine in her witch form continues to battle the magical girls, Corbeau takes this opportunity to continue her fight with Riz earlier.

On the other side of the field, Minou watches the skirmish between the magical girls. Talbot asks if she is not going to join the fray and support her comrades but Minou only giggles in response. While she may worry about her older sisters, getting too close to the witch would relieve her of her own weapon and she would only serve as a hindrance. Eventually Tart and Elisa are able to defeat Lapine, who reverts to her human form. Corbeau picks up her sister and hands her to Minou, who retreats into one of her portals and leaves Corbeau behind to unleash her ''Danse Macabre''. Following the defeat of Corbeau at the hands of Tart, she lands against the trunk of a tree and falls to her knees, greatly weakened. Tart aims her blade at Corbeau, telling her this is the end as Corbeau tries to stand. But all Corbeau can think of is her two sisters, Lapine and Minou. Before she can deliver the finishing blow, a portal appears behind Corbeau and Minou steps through. {{spoiler|While Corbeau is overfilled with joy at the sight of her sister, Minou kneels down and takes Corbeau’s soul gem in her hands, informing her this is the end. Confused, Corbeau asks her why and if she doesn't see how much she loves her and Lapine. Minou confirms that this is what she suspected and says she stopped serving their benefactor a long time ago. As Corbeau yells out once more to Minou asking her why she can't understand how much she loves them, Minou shatters Corbeau's soul gem and tells her she doesn't love her any longer. Corbeau falls forward, calling out her sisters' names as she dies. Minou tells her that at the very least she will tell Lapine that Corbeau died honorably in battle. Tart angrily demands she explain herself as Riz calls her heartless. As Minou summons a portal, she giggles and says it'll be something to look forward to as she gathers Corbeau's body and takes it back with her, leaving the heroines alone in the woods. The two turn to go, knowing the battle isn't over yet.}}

After the coronation of the Dauphin Charles, many of his courtiers were celebrating this triumphant moment when several of the women in attendance suddenly ignite in flame as the lights cut out. Isabeau suddenly appears without warning accompanied by Minou. As Charles stammers and crawls away from her, he begs Tart to save him and demands she kill the queen. At his word Tart rushes forward and stabs her sword straight through the queen's heart as she stands there. Charles initially laughs at this display, but the queen smiles as a white miasma escapes from the queen's wound and she merely stands there smiling. Tart leaps back, certain she had injured the queen but thinking to herself that it didn't feel like she had stabbed her. Riz summons her shadowy tendrils and ties the queen up as Elisa and Melissa both swing their weapons directly at her. Isabeau merely smiles more broadly, completely unharmed from both their attacks. She raises her finger and shoots a beam of magical energy at the two girls, causing them to be knocked away hard. As Minou knocks Riz away with her whip, Tart unleashes her “La Lumiere” attack on Isabeau. However Isabeau remains completely unharmed. As Minou begins to admonish Charles, Isabeau faints, prompting Minou to catch her in her arms. Isabeau whispers to Minou, who declares to all that in one year’s time death shall befall Tart. Minou and Isabeau leave through Minou’s portal as Charles cries and the magical girls tend to their wounds. From here on, the four magical girls travelled the lands of France for several months, possibly years in search of Isabeau’s stronghold in order to thwart her plan to spread grief seeds throughout France and allow them to hatch into witches. With the chaos brought on by these incidents, Isabeau planned to deliver these lands into the hands of the English army and their allies and thus bring the country under her influence.

In May 1430 in Compiegne, Tart, Riz, Melissa and Elisa arrive at a witch’s barrier just outside of the town. Minou greets them from inside the barrier as she calls their daily battles ultimately futile. Minou then summons her portal and lets through an army of mind-controlled magical girls. She raises her hand and several brands drop down onto the girls, causing them to be consumed by despair and transformed into witches. She commands the witch army forward as she declares this to be the appointed time at which death would befall La Pucelle. As the four magical girls fight off this army of witches, Minou watches the battle rage on before her and decides that this small contingency of witches won't be enough to stop them and turns to where Lapine now stands. She tells her this is her chance to avenge the death of their sister Corbeau as Lapine stands there seething, promising to tear them limb from limb. Lapine demands revenge for the death of her sister, having been told by Minou that it was Tart and her friends who ended Corbeau’s life. Despite having defeated Lapine’s human and witch form once more, Lapine only reappears each time with her soul gem cleansed. Minou laughs to herself, as this is just the outcome she had hoped for. As Riz tosses a grief seed to Melissa to replenish her magic, Minou lashes with her whip and knocks the grief seed away. She then summons a portal beneath Melissa as Elisa races to protect her. Minou smiles and transports both of them away to an unknown location. As Tart calls out for her friends, a worm-like witch lashes at her with its tongue but Riz cuts it down with one of her daggers. She warns Tart not to lose focus as they try to cut their way out of the throng.

Melissa and Elisa look around for Tart and Riz as they stand inside a witch's barrier. Minou appears behind them as she promises they won't be bored here and summons several more magical girls from her portals. Once more, she raises her hand and several seals burn despair into the magical girls, causing them to transform into witches. The two girls begin to fight off the second horde of witches, Minou watching them and applauding their efforts. Elisa growls at Minou, incensed at her words. Minou laughs and readies her whip in order to "apologize" for her words when the ceiling of the barrier begins to crack and rain down on them. As Minou summons her portal, she can't believe that anyone would be able to dispose of so many witches, much less her sister Lapine as well. She looks inside her portal and sees Tart on her knees crying. She admires her for having been the only survivor and both Melissa and Elisa are stunned at these words. Despite having lost her only other sister, Minou is not bothered in the least and instead looks forward to what will come. As the barrier continues to shatter, she promises to allow Melissa and Elisa to spectate during La Pucelle's final curtain call, a battle that Minou intends for Tart alone. As the barrier dissipates, Tart is left alone to a small battalion of troops who capture her as a prisoner. It is after the Chamberlain advises King Charles to allow Tart to be sold off to the English to their advantage, it is revealed that {{spoiler|he had been working under the orders of Minou and her sisters for some time.}}

Following the capture of Tart and her subsequent selling to her enemies in England, she is held capture in a prison tower in the town of Rouen near the border channel between England and France. Minou walks into the prison cell, followed by Isabeau and two maidens who hold the train of Isabeau's gown. Minou lashes at Tart and Kyubey with her whip, mocking them and accusing them of being the source of their troubles. Before she can continue to torture them, a large booming noise rings out causing the walls to shake. A soldier opens the door to the cell, informing Minou of reports of a French attack. She orders him to get rid of them, but the soldier informs her that it was a larger assault than they had expected since it seems there is a concerted effort throughout France to recapture Tart. She apologizes to Queen Isabeau for the disturbance and vows to go forth herself to handle this trouble. As Minou deals with the French forces outside, Elisa and Melissa fight their way towards her prison cell, disarming soldiers and sentries along the way.

Isabeau makes her way outside, Minou humbling herself before her. Isabeau waves her hands before her which causes the troops to collapse to their knees, their strength being sucked out from them. As she aims her hand forward, a magic circle having formed around it, Tart stabs a standard into the ground before her and blocks her next move. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart, but Elisa and Melissa hold them off so Tart can race in towards Isabeau. Once more her sword attacks seem to have no effect on the queen. Isabeau raises her hands once more and fires a beam of magic directly at her. As the dust settles, Tart looks up from behind her shield to find that [[Pernelle]] has blocked the attack with her own magic circle, explaining to Tart that Isabeau is immune to attacks due to someone else’s wish.

|style="padding:10px; background:#fff;"|Kyubey and Pernelle explain to Tart that Isabeau is now part magical girl, part witch, and part incubator thanks to her and Lapine’s wish. Minou declares to all that she wished for Isabeau to be undefeated by any magical girl. Isabeau transforms into her witch state as the empty shell of her human body sits cradled in an enormous hand jutting from the ground nearby. As Tart, Elisa and Melissa continues the struggle against the witch Crepuscule de la Reine (Twilight of the Queen), all of their attacks having no effect on the witch. Tart’s soul gem grows black with impurities as she reaches her limit, when she suddenly hears the voice of Riz reminding her of her sword training back in her home village. From before Tart, Riz's soul gem materializes from a shadow as Riz tells her that her final vow was for her soul to remain with her from that day forward. Even if Riz's body was lost, her soul remained behind like her shadow, always by Tart's side. Tart’s gauntlet turns black with Riz’s soul gem encased on the back. As Tart’s soul gem crackles with impurities, she slashes her sword down and successfully injures the witch. Due to Riz’s wish, Tart’s soul gem has been prevented from transforming into a grief seed, making her more than just a magical girl. Enraged, Minou threatens to tear Tart apart for having dared to hurt her mother. She lashes her whip repeatedly at Tart, who blocks the whip with her weapon. Minou continues her assault, not letting up for a second as Tart advances towards her, continuing to block each blow. She swings her sword down at Minou who is knocked backwards by the might of the attack. Before Tart can finish her off, Isabeau's body begins to shake as a larger body emerges from underneath, a second larger witch form that causes the cathedral to crumble under the size and might of this new body as everyone gazes up in terror at the true form of Crepuscule de la Reine. However, Tart remains determined as ever as she faces down her foe. Isabeau begins to charge her cannon and aims it at Tart who immediately summons her standard and smashes through the center of it, causing the cannon to crumble. As Isabeau flies above the ruined cathedral, Tart summons a massive magic circle in the sky above her in an attack known as the Gate of Heaven. The center of the circle slides open like a gateway as crosses of light pierce Isabeau and hold her in place. Tart leaps up and swings her weapon down at the witch, slicing the massive body in half and then half again. As the pieces of the witch's corpse fall back to earth, the gate closes and disappears. Tart's shadowy gauntlet also begins to dissipate as Riz's soul gem crumbles. Tart thanks Riz for protecting her until the very end.

{{spoiler|Pernelle hands the girls a grief seed to Tart but before they can do so, they're interrupted by the lamentations of Minou who stands over her mother's human yet empty body. Melissa and Elisa prepare themselves to defend Tart as Minou threatens to kill them herself no matter what may happen. Suddenly, Minou's soul gem shatters. She demands answers and Pernelle provides them: having been created by an imperfect creator she lost her powers the moment Isabeau was destroyed. Minou is devastated by the news and orders her soldiers to capture and kill them all. La Hire urges his men to pull out but Tart instead walks quietly towards the enemy soldiers with her hand over her chest. Minou promises that Tart will be the first to die and urges her men to kill her, however Tart instead offers herself as a prisoner in exchange for the lives of the French soldiers. Melissa begs her not to do this, but Tart holds Melissa's hands in her own and smiles. Tart turns back to the enemy soldiers and once more offers herself as prisoner on the condition they take no acts of aggression against anyone else. Minou cackles gleefully at the thought of at least being able to execute the "criminal who defiled mother". Alone, Minou knocks Tart to the ground and pins her down, promising her a merciless execution in which her sins will burn through her body until nothing but ash remains. The last scene of Minou shows her crying longingly over the empty body of her mother.

===Minou in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]===
See [[Minou in Magia Record]]

Minou is one of the secondary antagonists in the three Tart events that were released for Magia Record. In it, she plays much the same role as she does in the original manga. She relays orders and information to and from Isabeau using her teleportation and orders the mindless Magical Girls that Isabeau has enslaved to further their plans. Her element is light. During the first event, Minou and her sisters go into Tart's dreams in order to cause Tart to lose hope and lose the fight for France. During the second event, Minou and her sisters attempt to rewrite history so Iroha and Yachiyo never exist and don't travel back in time to thwart their plans. During the final event, Minou attempts to erase Tart's memories so she'll be powerless to stop them.

For more information, see [[Magia Record Story The Chiming Bell that Transcends Time|The Chiming Bell that Transcends Time ''(NA: The Maiden of Hope)'']], [[Magia Record Story Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]], and [[Magia Record Story End of a Legend, the Limits of Light|End of a Legend, the Limits of Light]].

==Powers and Abilities==
Minou is able to summon various instruments of torture as her weapons, such as a cat-o-nine tails whip and a branding iron. The cat-o-nine tails can also transform into a large sword.

Minou has demonstrated the ability to create portals, which she uses to travel long distances. Her main power is to corrupt the soul gems of other magical girls and turn them into witches.

Due to a side effect of her wish, Minou is the only one capable of understanding Isabeau's ambiguous words after she turned into a witch and was reversed into her body by Lapine's wish. This was confirmed in her magical girl story in Magia Record.

==Observations==
Minou is the youngest sister of the three daughters of Isabeau and the last to be defeated. She speaks elegantly and never loses her cool, however she hides a dark soul and twisted mind as Corbeau has noted that torture and "information extraction" were Minou's specialty. Like her sisters, she wears an animal themed mask based on her name similar to the kind worn at masquerade parties. Until the final volume, Minou's face remained hidden from view even when she was not in her magical girl state.

==Etymology==
* Minou is the French word for "kitty".

==Trivia==
* While not confirmed, the art of younger Minou shows her as a timid girl, and leads to the possibility that becoming a Magical Girl gave her much more confidence.
* Minou's hairstyle and her overall complexion resembles Tart, her arch-nemesis. It's still unconfirmed for the reason of the design choice, but it's highly possible to make a contrast between two enemies. In fact, their similar characteristics was briefly stated in one of the voice lines of Minou's School Uniform Costume in Magia Record.

===Side Story===
{{Spoilerbox|
'''''April, 1429: France – Tourelles Fortress''''' 
Lapin and [[Corbeau in Magia Record|Corbeau]] were sent on an expedition to Orleans, but [[Minou in Magia Record|Minou]] arrives there with [[Flèche]], so that she could assist Corbeau in his fight against [[Tart in Magia Record|Tart]], since it would be very risky for Lapin to fight with Corbeau and her magic. Lapin becomes sad, but Corbeau promises to bathe with her when he's done there to make it up to her. A voice says that she hopes nothing happens to Corbeau, showing her meeting Tart and [[Riz Hawkwood in Magia Record|Riz]] at the Tourelles Fortress. Lapin wonders how Corbeau is doing and receives news from a servant named [[Fauchard]], who tells Lapin and Minou of Tart's arrival at Tourelles Fortress. Lapin laments that she can't fight alongside Corbeau because of her magic, but Minou says that it's more fun fighting Magical Girls than mere humans for Corbeau.

Lapin remembers how their older brother, [[Dauphin Charles]], was expelled from their court of Paris, but Minou does not feel comfortable calling him "brother" because he stopped serving [[Isabeau de Bavière (Witch ver.)|their mother]] some time ago when seeking the crown, but Lapin tells her that he is still their brother. Minou says that from that day on he dared to abandon their mother and fled to Bourges he stopped being their brother and is now a traitor. Minou considers it ironic that Tart does not know that her main enemies are Charles' sisters and not the English army. Lapin asks Fauchard about this, but she doesn't know what to answer. Lapin says that the three of them sold France to the english with the intention of controlling both nations, and she asks if Fauchard thinks they are evil for doing that. Fauchard doesn't see it that way because they took her in after her parents died, and she is comfortable at Lapin's side, in addition to considering Corbeau kind and Minou wise, and serving her three sisters makes her very happy.

Minou considers that Fauchard is exaggerating, but Lapin tells her that Fauchard is a very honest girl, adding that what she says is true, plus she also thinks their mother is incredible. Minou insists that Lapin is also kind, since she used her wish for the sake of their mother. Lapin insists that Minou is also kind for using her wish to protect her mother. Lapin says that's why she loves her sisters, because they all asked for something to protect her mother, insisting that she loves all three of them. Minou, however, becomes sad upon hearing this and doubtfully agrees with Lapin. Minou says that she must return to see how everything is going in Orleans. However, Fauchard approaches Minou and tells her that Lapin has been feeling lonely lately, like the last time she was left to fight alone in enemy territory, but Minou insists that it was Lapin alone who went there and Corbeau went to get her. Minou wonders if it's boredom that motivates Lapin, but Fauchard insists that Lapin feels like she doesn't contribute to her family like her younger sisters and her mother, saying that she misses spending time with her family. Minou says she understands why Lapin loves having Fauchard as a servant, so Minou says that she will give Lapin a mission even though they would be "advancing" their plans, she wants more things to be done to help Isabeau, even asking Fauchard to accompany Lapin in her journey so that she doesn't feel alone. Fauchard later delivers a message to Lapin with her mission while Lapin thinks about her promise to shower with her sisters.

Lapin and Fauchard are transported to an english camp by Minou's portal magic, and are greeted by English troops. The camp is located near a lord's fortress in the south of France, but Lapin realizes that they arrived "early", so she invites Fauchard to speak with her. Fauchard comments that she heard that there were many allies of the Dauphin Charles in the area, and Lapin agrees, saying that the lord of the southern fortress should be on their side but rebelled by allying himself with Charles, saying that she plans to "replace him." with someone more loyal and Fauchard mentions that after all there is not only a conflict with the English, but the French also have an internal fight over their monarchy, but Lapin says that it doesn't matter because in the end everything will belong to her mother. Lapin asks about Fauchard's family, and she says that he was daughter of a lord who ruled a small state within France, and that her father was a warrior for a long time, so he raised her to survive on her own. Lapin believes that this is what makes it very easy to communicate with Fauchard. Lapin asks her why she is praised so much by Fauchard and she tells her that the night her family was massacred by bandits, it was Lapin who rescued her and took her in, saying that is why she is so loyal to her. Lapin then tells Fauchard that she has "potential" to be a Magical Girl like she and her sisters, and Fauchard wonders if it will be the same with the quiet maids who accompany Minou all the time. Lapin subsequently says that she must now begin her mission and leaves...

Lapin plants a Grief Seed on the path the lord's family takes on their departures from his fortress, saying it is best to plant the Grief Seeds in places where Witches are guaranteed to attract death. Fauchard begins to feel alone, but at that moment she sees [[Kyubey]] in the distance and decides to follow her when she sees that he had something similar to angel halos, similar to the flag of La Pucelle. Fauchard arrives near the path where Lapin planted the Grief Seed, being attacked by surprise but being warned of the attack by Kyubey, however, Fauchard is saved by [[Pernelle Flamel in Magia Record|Pernelle]], who introduces herself to Fauchard as an alchemist and a Magical Girl. Pernelle tells Fauchard that the soldiers who attacked her are influenced by a Witch's Kiss, and she puts them to sleep.

Kyubey greets Pernelle, revealing that they have both been on the trail of the masked sisters. Kyubey explains to Pernelle that they have been the ones who have been planting Grief Seeds throughout France, to which Fauchard asks what he is talking about, and Kyubey tells her that the Grief Seed are "Witches' eggs", and that Witches are beings that control people to do bad stuff, like soldiers, bandits and other people. Pernelle knows that Fauchard is one of the three sisters' servants, and she clarifies to Kyubey that they have been collecting girls with magical potential from all over the country. Fauchard claims not to understand, so Pernelle offers to show her the creatures her mistresses have been spreading to bring chaos to the country, taking Fauchard with her inside the Witch's Barrier planted by Lapin. The Witch is killed by Pernelle.

Fauchard still doesn't understand, but Pernelle explains to her about Witches and how Lapin and the others have planted Witches to kill people. Fauchard doesn't understand why, but Kyubey believes that Fauchard doesn't want to accept the obvious truth: that the three sisters have been spreading curses throughout France. Pernelle thinks it is a strategy to get a new servants for Isabeau's court, to which Kyubey explains that the three sisters use Witches to murder entire families and leave only the daughters with magic potential, who they take in to become their servants. Fauchard realizes that this makes sense, but refuses to accept that Lapin was responsible for the death of her family, even though she knows that the same thing happened to the other maids who lost their families. Pernelle asks if there is a girl nearby with potential and Kyubey tells her the daughter of the lord of the southern fortress. Kyubey believes that it would also be an advantage for the English to get rid of a traitor, but Fauchard can only think about what Lapin is doing...

Very close to the place, Lapin massacres the family of the lord of the fortress, saying that she had to do it herself because of the death of her Witch, but on the other hand, she was able to have fun. However, the lord's daughter witnessed the death of her father when she woke up after falling unconscious, so Lapin decides to kill her because she could not serve as her servant if she cannot be manipulated. Happily, Lapin rejoices at having crushed her victims. After killing the girl Lapin hears something, but seeing nothing she thinks it was her imagination. Lapin leaves saying that she couldn't get a new girl for her mother, but at least she got rid of the lord of the fortress, waiting for her bath with Corbeau and remembering the promise they made to bathe together. Lapin returns to the camp and finds a sad Fauchard, who asks about the blood on her outfit, offering to clean her clothes. Fauchard reveals that she saw everything Lapin did. In a flashback, Pernelle laments that she could not save the life of the fortress lord nor his daughter. Later, Pernelle tells Fauchard that Lapin and her sisters force the daughters of the families they massacre to become Magical Girls, but since their creator is defective, these girls lose their will.

Pernelle reveals that they are all Magical Girls, including La Pucelle who liberated Orleans. Fauchard is surprised by this and says that the English are defending the fortress of Tourelles, but Kyubey informs her that Corbeau was defeated by Tart and her companions. Pernelle later tells Fauchard of Tart's inevitable victory to save France. Kyubey invites Fauchard to join Tart and make a contract with him, in exchange for a wish. However, Fauchard rejects the offer because Tart is an ally of the Dauphin Charles and he was an enemy of her father. Kyubey insists that it is better to avoid a bad fate for Fauchard as Tart's enemy, but Perenelle tells him that they can't force her to do something she doesn't want to, and Pernelle proceeds to transport Fauchard with one of her portals back to the english camp. Back in the present, Fauchard and Lapin prepare to return to the court. At that moment Minou appears, who tells Lapin about Tart's victory and that she and her friends beat Corbeau, and how she had to go rescue her from them. Fauchard realizes that what Pernelle told her is true, but he pretends not to feel bad when Lapin asks her what's going on.

The three sisters meet in their palace. Lapin asks Corbeau about Tart and she tells her that she is very powerful and is excited for her next confrontation with La Pucelle. Minou insists that they prepare for her shower, but before Fauchard can speak to Lapin she is stopped by Minou. Once Lapin and Corbeau leave, Minou tells Fauchard that she will have to take Lapin's "favorite servant" away from her. Minou then takes Fauchard to Isabeau and tortures her to force her to make a wish to Isabeau and make Fauchard one of her Magical Girl servants. Later, Minou, Lapin and Corbeau enjoy their shower together while Corbeau tells Lapin about her fight against Tart, so Lapin says she wants to fight her too while Minou says that Lapin's wishes will be granted. The sisters finish showering and Lapin asks Fauchard if her bed is ready, but she doesn't answer her. Lapin wonders Fauchard didn't hear her but Minou says that the girl can hear her but she no longer speaks, so Lapin with a smile says that "she was turned into a doll." Minou asks Lapin if she won't be lonely, but Lapin says that even though Fauchard was her favorite, she can't change what has been done, but Corbeau promises to get her a new maid and Minou says that it is a good idea, so Lapin agrees, saying that next time it will be her turn to play with Tart and her friends.

==Etymology==
* In the original Japanese, her name is spelled "Lapine". Lapine is the French word for a female rabbit.
**However, in the official English translation of Tart Magica, her named is changed instead to "Lapin", which is the French word for a male rabbit.

==Trivia==
*Lapin's live2D model in Magia Record initially lacked the soul gem on her chest, even though her profile image and battle sprite had it included.
*Her Magia is French for "Hundred eyes rabbit". This is probably a reference to her Witch, [[Enfant Terrible]].
*Her Doppel's name, "[[wikipedia:Enfant_terrible|Enfant Terrible]]" ("unruly child"), is a French phrase that traditionally refers to a child who is terrifyingly candid by saying embarrassing things to parents or others. In modern times, the phrase has also seen usage in relation to the arts, referring to an artist who is young and successful who is very unorthodox, offensive, or rebellious.

==Story==
===Backstory===
{{Spoilerbox|
As a young girl, Lapine was chosen alongside her sisters [[Minou]] and [[Corbeau]] to be among the first magical girls [[Isabeau]] contracted due to their closely interwoven fates.

Isabeau grew to become like a mother to the three girls she took in. However, she eventually turned into a witch and was poised to kill the three girls, of whom only Corbeau had as yet contracted to become a magical girl. This lead to Lapine making her wish for her mother to "return to how she was." Since the transformation from magical girl to witch is irreversible, her wish lead to Isabeau's witch mind inhabiting the now empty husk of her former physical body. Isabeau was no longer mindless and now retained her original powers that were granted to her from her own wish. Even so, she still retained her witch's ambition to destroy all of France.
}}

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Lapine first appears in Chapter 5, standing with Corbeau and Minou as they finish slaughtering the soldiers of Orleans, a stronghold that held four thousand soldiers. She jeers and taunts the last of the injured soldiers as Corbeau threatens him and Minou cuts off their retreat with her cat-o-nine tails. She's later seen singing and walking along the edge of the outermost walls of the city as she kicks the dismembered limbs of the dead soldiers off into the distance. Minou appears with [[Flèche]] and relays orders from their mother, informing Lapine that she and herself are to return for a short time and to leave Corbeau along with Fleche to handle [[Tart]], who is about to arrive at Orleans. Despite being upset that Corbeau "get(s) all the fun!", she complies with orders and returns home through Minou's portal. Back at the castle later that evening, Lapine is seen having a bath along with her two sisters and is overjoyed at the possibility of fighting Tart and her friends herself.

Several months later at the city of Patay, Minou, Corbeau and Lapine stand at the head of the English forces as Lapine relishes the idea of 'playing' with the French forces opposing them. Before Minou can say anything, Lapine had already began her attack on Tart, [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]], [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]], and [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]]. Unfortunately, the four magical girls are able to deflect most of Lapine's initial attacks, hitting her with their weapons several times and causing Lapine’s soul gem to darken. Her soul gem transforms into a grief seed and hatches Lapine’s witch form.

After transforming, Lapine activates her ability to possess any and all weapons in her vicinity, including that of her English allies (with the exception of Tart and Elisa as their weapons have magical abilities imparted on them by [[Pernelle]]. She telepathically causes them to fly at her enemies and damage them. She even forms a towering sword-like shape composed of the weapons she's amassed and drops it at the opposing magical girls. Tart is able to deflect this massive attack on her friends even as Lapine activates her secondary ability: the ability to cause magical girls to lose their magical girl state temporarily. As Lapine in her witch form continues to battle the magical girls, Corbeau takes this opportunity to continue her fight with Riz earlier. Elisa and Tart attempt to coordinate a surprise attack on Lapine, but the eyes on her cape have the same ability as her rabbit eyes and they both revert to normal girls temporarily. Despite this, the two girls are eventually able to distract Lapine and successfully defeat her with Elisa's rifle-turned-canon. However, her defeat only causes her to revert back into a magical girl, owing to the nature of her wish and the abilities it granted her. Minou retreats with an unconscious Lapine into one of her portals as Corbeau unleashes her ''Danse Macabre''. {{spoiler|After Corbeau's subsequent defeat at the hands of Tart, Minou finishes Corbeau off in the woods and tells Lapine that it was Tart that killed their sister.}}

A considerable time later, Minou has summoned an army of magical girls and subsequently transformed them into witches all of whom are poised to kill Tart and her friends. Minou has also summoned Lapine to this battlefield where she informs her of her chance to take revenge for the loss of their sister. Lapine is enraged and more than eager to tear them limb from limb. She begins by summoning her rabbit-shaped discs and impeding their magical girl transformations. Despite this, Riz is easily able to dodge her attacks and slashes at her rabbit-shaped discs as Lapine is not used to combat the way her sister Corbeau was. When Riz informs Lapine that it was in fact {{spoiler|Minou who killed her sister,}} this causes Lapine to snap with rage and abandon all thinking. Riz aims to shatter Lapine’s soul gem in order to prevent her from transforming into her witch form, but the news she received and the subsequent despair it caused her has instead only accelerated the impurities of Lapine ’s soul gem. It is too late, as Lapine quickly becomes a witch continues her attack on the girls.

The magical girls coordinate their attacks and unleash Melissa’s ultimate destructive move on Lapine. But it is not enough and Lapine reemerges from the bottom of the crater formed by the explosion, now human and her soul gem cleansed. Minou then causes a portal to appear beneath Elisa and Melissa and transports them to a different part of the castle in which they are battling. Tart and Riz are left to fend for themselves against not only Lapine's witch form, but the army of witches that are left from earlier. Tart and Riz begin to grow weary from the fighting and the amount of magic they've spent, causing Riz to charge her soul gem's power and throw a dagger at Lapine's feet. Shadows emerge from the dagger and wrap themselves around Lapine, effectively immobilizing her. As Tart calls out to her, Riz summons her ultimate attack, ''Gates of Hell''. {{spoiler|A large marble doorway comes up from the ground, skeletons adorning its framework. As the Gates of Hell begin to crack open, shadowy hands reach out from inside each of them grabbing at a different part of Lapine. She cries out for them to let go of her but they continue to hold on relentlessly as more hands reach out from the gate and grab at the witches in the area and pull them into the dark void that lurks behind the doors. Lapine continues to strain at the shadowy hands, crying out that nothing Riz does will make a difference since she'll keep coming back over and over again, returning to normal only for her to kill Riz no matter how many times it takes her. Riz acknowledges this, and informs her that she will be joining Lapine inside the black void of the gates to prevent her from escaping as the doors can only be opened from the outside. As Riz walks into the gate, Lapine is pulled into the darkness with her and the doors snap shut behind them, effectively ending Lapine's life.}}

===Lapine in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]===
See [[Lapine in Magia Record]]

==Powers and Abilities==
Lapine has the ability to turn back into a human after she turns into a witch. While in magical girl form, she uses a handheld scythe as her weapon and can summon rabbit-shaped discs that float about her. When the discs flash, magical girls lose their ability to remain in magical form for a limited time.

While in witch form, Lapine is able to summon all weapons in the vicinity to her side and is able to manipulate them at will, for example creating a wall of shields or raining various weapons down on her enemies. Her eyes can cause any magical girl to lose her ability to remain in magical girl form as well as the eyes on her cape.

==Observations==
* Lapine is the eldest of the three sisters despite her childish personality and physical looks and is very fond of her younger sisters.
* However, she may in fact be the most powerful as her ability to transform to and from her witch form makes her incredibly difficult to defeat.
* While in witch form, she is able to speak in coherent french with an elaborate font. This is in contrast to other witches, many of whom do not speak and when they do it is in Runes.
* Her favorite sister may be Corbeau, as she often asks her to scrub her down during baths and has no problem hugging and burying her face in her sisters' chest when she hugs them.

==Trivia==
* Lapine's live2D model in Magia Record initially lacked the soul gem on her chest, even though her profile image and battle sprite had it included.
* As a child, Lapine was still the shortest of the three sisters.

==Etymology==
* Lapine is the French word for a female rabbit.
** However, in the official English translation of Tart Magica, her named is changed instead to "Lapin", which is the French word for a male rabbit, making this a case of [[Romanes eunt domus]].

The Doppel of masochism. Its form is a moon-cawing crow. The master of this emotion rushes about in a wild, mad frenzy, and loses her mind with joy… As the physical manifestation of such unbecoming tastes, this Doppel takes the form of a crow that caws in enjoyment of the moonlit night. An aberrantly-shaped being that strikes dread in the hearts of all who see it, born from the final throes of manic revelry. Those who confront this Doppel are sure to feel terror from the very bottom of their hearts. But this is no ordinary fear– as the sort of fear that can be engendered only by those who live their lives on Death’s door, those who taste it will have their sense of self destroyed, and eventually be led to insanity.
{{-}}
===Side Story===
{{Spoilerbox|
'''''April, 1429: France – Orléans Outskirts''''' 
Corbeau cackles evilly as she easily overpowers the French forces. So easily does she defeat them that Corbeau has gotten bored with their little game. One of the French soldiers encourages the others, asking them to hold out a little longer until Corbeau is worn out eventually. But Corbeau hasn’t even broken a sweat yet despite fighting without weapons. In just a few more moments she’s defeated every one of the soldiers save for the general. The commanding officer tries to hold out a little longer but Corbeau tells him it’s futile as she has passed on all the impurities of her Soul Gem onto one of the mindless Magical Girl slaves she has brought with her. She doesn’t expect the commander to understand what she means so she takes his sword from him and slashes up her arm. In the blink of an eye her arm has healed and the impurities of her Soul Gem dissipate, only to appear in the other girl’s Soul Gem. The commander asks if she’s immortal, but Corbeau shakes her head, saying this kind of power is much more terrifying to a Magical Girl. Either way, she’s done talking to someone who will soon be dead. The commander rallies what’s left of his forces in a final battle to the death. Corbeau likes his spirit and promises to kill him herself. Noticing the enslaved Magical Girl is at her limit, Corbeau chuckles and pushes her to the edge, making her transform into a Witch that she unleashes on the remainder of the French forces. The French are terrified of the monster before them as they are easily overwhelmed and slaughtered.

Back at their camp, Lapin asks Corbeau how the battle went. Corbeau sighs, saying the French weren’t even worth her presence. Lapin giggles, calling all the humans too weak for someone like Corbeau. Corbeau agrees, which is the problem. All she really wants is uncertain victory, a real battle to the death. Lapin says she should have gone, as she’d have had plenty of fun breaking the little weaklings and hearing their cries. Corbeau complains about how weak and cowardly the English forces are, causing her to go in herself and clean up their messes. She thinks Lapin is too important to have her dirtying her hands in battles that aren’t important. Lapin calls her the best and glomps onto Corbeau. Minou appears, pretending to be jealous at how well they’re getting along. Lapin is all too happy to see her other younger sister and gives her a big hug as well before Corbeau relates her dilemma to Minou.

Hearing the problem, Minou guesses that the only person who could meet Corbeau’s expectations might be La Pucelle herself. Lapin believes that La Pucelle must be a Magical Girl too, which means she’ll be no match for Corbeau’s ability. Corbeau agrees, since it would be no fun to rain magic down on her enemy and have her Soul Gem turn black in the first five minutes of battle. Minou asks what happened to the girl that Corbeau took with her to battle. Corbeau explains that the girl took the brunt of her impurities and turned into a Witch. Minou calls it a shame, since she’ll have to find a replacement. Thankfully, she brought one with her and displays the girl to her sisters. Despite how recently the girl had contracted, Corbeau decides to take her with her on her next battle. She asks when she will be able to do battle with La Pucelle and Minou promises her it will be soon. It seems La Pucelle has joined the French forces and is due to arrive in Orléans within the month where she will confront the sisters directly. When asked how she could be so certain of this, Minou claims she “saw” the future. Lapin and Corbeau ask how that’s possible.

Minou explains that she saw their benefactor recently. She told Minou to “have a vision of the future” and explained that [[Homura Akemi|tiny ripples from the future have caused a disturbance in time]]. When prompted by Lapin once more on how she was able to see the future, Minou giggles and reminds her that’s what their Magical Girl slaves are for, indicating the newly contracted girl she brought with her. Nodding in understanding, Corbeau asks her to continue her story. Minou asks them to prepare for this news, as she relates what she saw in her vision of the future: their benefactor’s wish is destroyed at the hands of La Pucelle while she herself turns into nothing more than a silent corpse. Corbeau is outraged at this news. How can France be saved by one girl when they’re already on the brink of utter collapse. Minou finds it also hard to believe, but she knows what she saw was true hence why she rushed to inform her sisters of what she saw before anyone else. Corbeau then asks her what happens to Minou and Lapin in the future. Minou isn’t certain, as she can’t see all of the future. But if their benefactor is reduced to nothing, than their futures can’t be that bright either.

Corbeau asks if there isn’t anything they can do. Minou has an idea. In the future she saw, Tart began by first leading the French forces into liberating Orléans. After that, she helps the heir to the French crown become coronated as king. If they can erase her from history before any of that comes to pass, then they will be successful in changing history. Minou shows her sisters a magic grimoire she found that contains a spell to trap people in a never-ending dream. If they use this spell to trap Tart in an endless nightmare, than no matter how powerful she may be she is still a Magical Girl and will surely despair and become a Witch. All they need now is a strand of La Pucelle’s hair for the spell to work. Once they cast the spell, Corbeau will invade Tart’s dreams and wreak havoc to her heart’s content. Lapin wants to go too, but Minou warns her against joining Corbeau since her ability will simply end up corrupting Lapin’s Soul Gem instead. Lapin relents while Corbeau agrees to the plan.

'''''April 29, 1429: Cathedral of the Holy Cross - Orléans''''' 
Corbeau comments on the commotion outside the church. Despite the English forcings holding down every fortress in the vicinity, Tart was able to enter the castle through the Burgundy Gate. Corbeau can’t believe that a single girl joining in the battle could turn the tides of the war so greatly. Minou warns her not to underestimate La Pucelle’s powers. Hearing that makes Corbeau even more excited to be facing her in battle. The church bells ring, indicating the preparations are complete. Minou and Corbea return to their camp before they can be seen.

Minou reports that La Pucelle is now asleep after having entered Orléans. However, she underestimated the huge impact La Pucelle’s fate has as all the people who hold a deep affinity with her have also been drawn into her dream. Not just the commanders Gilles and La Hire, but even the crown prince was dragged into it. But so long as Tart sleeps, they’ll stay trapped within her dream. So if Corbeau invades her dreams and causes Tart to Witch out, then the French forces will be completely annihilated. Corbeau prepares to invade Tart’s dream, but not before warning Minou and Lapin to stay away from her while she’s in there. Otherwise they’re liable to absorb Corbeau’s impurities themselves and cause their Soul Gems to become tainted. Minou leaves the Magical Girl slave to stand by and watch over Corbeau’s tent. Minou places a red and blue candle by Corbeau’s bedside so she can enter Tart’s dream and leaves.

Corbeau falls asleep and finds herself in a pitch-black void. It is the realm between dreams and reality. As she looks around herself, she spies a beacon of light in the distance. Figuring it to be Tart’s dream, Corbeau attempts to enter the light only to be repelled.

'''''Orléans Outskirts – Within La Pucelle’s Dream''''' 
Tart stands with Gilles at the head of the army, as they prepare to liberate Orléans at last. The sky soon turns pitch-black, throwing the army into chaos as Corbeau sneaks up and takes down several of the soldiers with ease. She greets Tart, introducing herself as Corbeau, the angel of her death. Corbeau summons several soldier-like Familiars and has them attack the French soldiers. The Familiars turn their attention to La Hire but Tart runs up to defend him and the others, easily repelling the Familiars. Corbeau smiles, glad that the fight won’t be over so quickly as she successfully strikes at Tart. Melissa watches in fear as the two girls trade blows, Tart being pushed back further and further. Corbeau laughs, ready to kill Tart here and now. La Hire orders his men to support Tart, but Corbeau merely summons more Familiars who easily take down the soldiers. With so many Familiars and more being conjured every moment, Gilles tells La Hire they have no choice but to retreat. Tart admits she agrees and tells the men to retreat while she holds Corbeau off. But Corbeau isn’t done having her fun yet and uleashes another relentless attack on Tart.

'''''May, 1429 – Allied English Forces Camp''''' 
Inside the church Lapin asks Corbeau what it’s like inside La Pucelle’s dreams. Corbeau says it’s not bad, and just like Minou said she’s able to wreak all the havoc she likes. Normally she would use her own magic to torture Tart with, but in this case the Magical Girl slave she has with her takes on the brunt of her impurities. Even though she can’t use her normal abilities in the dream, she can instead summon Witches and Familiars to fight with. This is something that Minou arranged when she cast the spell. Even with all of those advantages, Lapin asks if Corbeau still doesn’t have a trick up her sleeve left, referring to Corbeau’s “La Dance Macabre” attack. She does, but Minou warned her not to use it just yet. In the future she saw, Tart was able to thwart their efforts and saved France. If they move too early, they might end up drawing out her true strength. What they need to do now is hurt her enough, little by little, so she falls into despair. That, and it’s much more fun for Corbeau to take her time with Tart. Lapin agrees with Corbeau on that.

Just then Minou appears, looking for her sisters. It seems that a French spy was able to infiltrate Corbeau’s tent in the middle of the night and took the candles. Even though they can replace the candles, it’s possible the French were able to figure out their plan. Instead of being distraught at this turn of events, Corbeau only smiles broadly and laughs in joy. She thinks this will make the fight more interesting.

'''''Within La Pucelle’s Dream''''' 
Corbeau violently throws Tart into a tree as Iroha and Yachiyo cry out to Tart. Miraculously Tart is unharmed by the devastating attack, causing Corbeau to giggle maliciously with glee. She steps up to Tart, prepared to finally fight to the death, but Riz emerges from the shadows and strikes at Corbeau. She warns Tart to go back and help the French soldiers, who are struggling against the Familiars with Melissa leading Iroha and Yachiyo back. Corbeau is determined to not let them go, but Riz stops Corbeau. Corbeau settles for fighting one of Tart’s friends in her place and asks Riz not to disappoint her as they begin their battle.

'''''May, 1429 – United English Forces Camp''''' 
Lapin asks Corbeau what happened during the battle. Corbeau explains that more Magical Girls showed up to help Tart, including a girl who can manipulate shadows. Sicne she was in the shadows when Tart fell asleep, she wasn’t pulled into Tart’s dream. Now it seems she’s meddling from the outside using the candles that were stolen from them. She also described a pair of Magical Girls with names she’d never heard of. Judging from Corbeau’s description, Minou figures they must be foreigners, possibly from another time. Corbeau doesn’t care who they are so long as she’s able to fight them in battle. She especially looks forward to fighting the Magical Girl who was dressed entirely in black.

'''''Several days later… ''''' 
Corbeau reports to Minou that things aren’t faring as well as she’d hoped within Tart’s dreams. At this rate she’ll need even more Familiars and Witches to hold them off. Minou has an idea, however. She proposes they use Tart’s love for her friends to set a trap for them. This way they can take care of all of them in one fell swoop.

'''''Shortly after… ''''' 
Corbeau shakes her head in dismay. At the rate things are going, the French will be able to recapture Orléans even from within the dream. She has to crush them no matter what during their next battle. Lapin offers to join Corbeau, but Corbeau doesn’t want Lapin’s help. She was entrusted by Minou to complete this mission and she plans on doing so with her own hands. Minou says it was her fault for miscalculating the interlopers from the future, but asks Corbeau not to trade her life away for this mission. Even if they fail they have other ways of obtaining victory. Lapin makes Corbeau promise to keep back. Corbeau promises to come back, and once she does they can all take a nice soak together.

Once more Corbeau ventures into the void between dreams and reality. And just like before, Tart’s dreams attempt to repel Corbeau and prevent her from entering. But Corbeau has gotten used to this and knows she just needs to keep pushing towards the place where the resistance is strongest.

'''''Within Tart’s dream… ''''' 
Riz calls out to Tart, telling her they need to enter the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Iroha and Yachiyo offer to hold off the enemy so they can complete the mission. But Corbeau appears from seemingly nowhere and strikes Iroha from behind. She walks up to Tart, tsking at how far they were able to encroach on her territory while she was away. She’s glad to see that Riz is here, but she has an obligation to fulfill as she summons the soldier-like Familiars to aid her in the battle. She smiles as she sees that Tart too has decided to join in this battle. The four Magical Girls prepare to face their opponent as Corbeau warns them they better aim to kill or she’ll kill them first as the battle commences.

'''''May, 1429 – United English Forces Camp''''' 
The sound of the cathedral’s bells can be heard ringing across the land as Corbeau awakens in the English camp. Corbeau reminds her sisters she warned them to stay away from her, but the two were worried she’d never wake up. Corbeau apologizes for the trouble she caused since the mission was a failure. She was unable to stop the girls from ringing the bells and allowing Tart to awaken from her nightmare. Lapin asks what will happen now. Minou says that the memory of the curse will disappear from everyone that was involved. Everyone, including Corbeau and Lapin, will forget what the chaos that has happened over the last few days. All except Minou, who cast the spell to begin with, but she doesn’t relay this last bit to her sisters. Corbeau asks if they’ll meet the girl in black and La Pucelle for the “first time” again. If so, she’s glad they forgot everything because now they get to kill each other all over again. Lapin asks what they will do now, since they lose in the future that Minou saw. Minou isn’t too worried since their next plan involves taking out the girls from the future so they can’t interfere again. Only this time Minou will need the help of her sisters to enact this plan since she won’t be able to do it on her own. Lapin is happy to hear she’ll be fighting alongside her sisters, but Corbeau becomes worried she will make it difficult for them to work together thanks to her ability.

Corbeau considers using a girl’s wish to seal her power and prevent her from forcing her impurities on others. That way her sisters stay out of harm’s way. Also, Corbeau thinks it wouldn’t be any fun if she won the battle using this ability and would gain a new power in its place, one that could be more helpful to her sisters. It would cost them an eligible maiden, but Corbeau believes it’s worth the price if it means she can more easily protect her sisters in the upcoming battles. Minou thinks for a moment, hesitating before she agrees with Corbeau so long as it is in line with their benefactor’s will. Internally, Minou believes that they shouldn’t do it if it is only for their own sakes. Minou changes the subject, saying they can discuss all of this tomorrow. For tonight, she suggests they take that nice, long soak together they’d been looking forward to. Minou has already made arrangements for their bath.

Refreshed after soaking in hot water together, Corbeau and Lapin thank Minou for the arrangements. Corbeau is particularly proud of her younger sister, who is all too glad to hold up their promise to each other.

==Abilities==
As explained in her personal story, Corbeau's original wish-given magic was the ability to push her magic usage onto other soul gems within a 50 meter radius of herself (essentially, so long as another soul gem was within range, they would bear the burden of her magic usage; thus, her soul gem never darkened).

She eventually abandoned (as the game says, "sealed away") this power and replaced it with other abilities by having other magical girls contract with her mother for Corbeau's benefit.

She also has the ability to use a powerful magical attack called 'La Danse Macabre' (referred to by her as "'Death Dance' magic" in the NA translation) that inflicts everyone in her surroundings with the Bubonic plague.

==Trivia==
* Her Magia causing Poison and having chance to Curse reflects the same attack in Tart Magica, where the feathers cause the bubonic plague. As an extension, her doppel summons rats, as they were known to spread said illness (although, to be more precisely, the lice on the rats carried it in particular).
** Her magia is also French for "The dance of death". A personification of death itself.
* Her Doppel's name means "Pleasure" in french.
* There was an error where during her doppel attack she had [[Hazuki Yusa]]'s Doppel, Tagitu's, runes appeared instead of her own Doppel's name.

==Game Info==
{{:Magia Record Units/Isabeau de Bavière}}

==Summary==
Queen of France, in the midst of the Hundred Years War, is busy expanding her rule and power. She is a Magical Girl with a powerful causality, and has a large number of Magical Girls who have lost their will. She later sells out the kingdom of France to England and becomes Tart's (Jeanne d'Arc) greatest enemy.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel_412200_l.png|thumb|right|150px|Crépuscule de la Reine, Isabeau's doppel]]
The Doppel of dominion. Its form is La Reine’s Twilight. The master of this emotion seeks dominion and influence ad infinitum, for as long as she exists. The curses scattered by this Doppel are themselves a death-bringing darkness to all other humans, and if bathed in these curses, those without a resistance to them will instantly vanish from existence. The joy its master derives from this sight is synonymous with purification to her. The more her surroundings are stained with despair and darkness, the brighter her Soul Gem’s rhapsodic light shines.
{{-}}

===Side Story===
{{Spoilerbox|
'''Episode 1 - A Planned Revival'''

1424, Paris - The scene opens with Isabeau remaining silent as Minou receives and relays her mother's orders to continue the siege of Ivry. Minou explains that Corbeau has already been dispatched there, ensuring the enemy stronghold will soon fall. A servant expresses amazement at young Minou's command over English forces, but Lapin clarifies Minou is merely conveying Isabeau's messages through their unique mental connection. The servants discuss how Isabeau's daughters, Minou, Lapin, and Corbeau, each possess extraordinary abilities, while Isabeau herself reigns as the shadow queen controlling both England and France through her grandson King Henry.

When Corbeau returns from Ivry, Isabeau unexpectedly greets her with a rare spoken word "Ça va." Through Minou's translation, Isabeau praises Corbeau's work and orders her to assist allies at Guise. Corbeau inquires about other orders and learns of Isabeau's concern about Verneuil's situation. The sisters explain that their faction supports Henry as dual monarch, while the Dauphin Charles' faction allies with Scotland against them. Suddenly, a messenger bursts in declaring that Verneuil has fallen to a Scottish force led by a girl using magic to teleport troops inside the city walls.

The sisters debate the implications. Lapin suggests the enemy might be a Magical Girl like themselves. Corbeau suspects a betrayal among their own contracted servants but Minou dismisses this. Despite Corbeau's concerns about the unknown enemy's power potentially surpassing theirs, Minou insists she and Lapin will handle Verneuil while Corbeau obeys Isabeau's orders for Guise. In a private moment, Corbeau recalls how Lapin's wish restored Isabeau's form but not her sanity after she became a Witch. She devises a plan of selecting an exceptionally talented servant, originally a noble's daughter skilled in archery, to make another wish to temporarily restore Isabeau's full faculties for the coming battle.

Isabeau unexpectedly regains full consciousness when presented with the servant. She immediately grasps the strategic situation upon hearing about the enemy Magical Girl at Verneuil. Deciding to personally intervene, Isabeau names the servant "Flèche" and prepares to depart with her. Corbeau is relieved this will keep her sisters out of direct danger.

August 1424, Near Verneuil - Isabeau arrives dramatically at the English camp. Through careful questioning, she identifies Sir John Talbot as their most capable field commander after the Duke of Bedford. She privately notes Talbot's humility and battlefield prowess make him ideal to counter the inexperienced Duke of Alençon leading the enemy forces. Isabeau plans to deliberately weaken part of their formation to lure Alençon into a trap where Flèche's archery skills will prove decisive. The only remaining variable is the enemy Magical Girl and as Isabeau prepares to transform for battle, she remarks it's been years since she last took her active combat form.

{{-}}

'''Episode 2 - The Queen's Game'''

Near Verneuil - Isabeau arrives at the battlefield, remarking how essential it is for rulers to experience war firsthand. As the decisive battle begins, she first deals with the enemy Magical Girl responsible for Verneuil's fall, a Scottish girl who used camouflage magic to infiltrate the city. Isabeau mocks her modest wish ("I wanted the Prince's army to take back the town") and trivial power before effortlessly eliminating her. With this threat gone, the Scottish reinforcements fail to arrive as planned.

August 1424 - Isabeau orchestrates the battle like a chess game. She deliberately weakens the English right flank to lure the inexperienced Duke of Alençon into a trap. As predicted, Alençon leads a cavalry charge straight into Flèche's killing zone, where she picks off the French knights with magical arrows, proving Isabeau's point about the end of chivalric warfare. John Talbot capitalizes on this to rout the enemy. Isabeau orders Alençon's capture for ransom value, while observing spies from Richemont's faction taking notes on these new warfare tactics.

1427, Paris - Three years later, Minou reports to her sisters about court intrigues. They discuss eliminating Charles VII's capable marshal Richemont through a multi-step plan. Their agent Pierre de Giac, Charles' corrupt favorite, has become a liability. Flèche and a new Magical Girl named Lame (Blade) are deployed to kill him during an "arrest" by Richemont's men, framing the marshal for the murder. The vacated position will be filled by their mole La Trémoille, a bureaucrat secretly loyal to the English faction due to his belief in Henry VI's superior claim to the French throne. La Trémoille will then turn Charles VII's court against Richemont by exacerbating existing rivalries.

1427, French Countryside - The plan unfolds precisely. Richemont's men capture Giac for corruption charges and Flèche snipes Giac mid-transport with an impossible shot, leaving no trace. Lame drives off observers including the alchemist Pernelle Flamel. The scheme succeeds perfectly and La Trémoille becomes Charles VII's chamberlain.

1428 - In the aftermath of their plan, Richemont is expelled from court.

{{-}}

'''Episode 3 - Thus do the Actors Gather'''

October 12, 1428 - Pernelle Flamel and Cube discuss the dire situation in France where northern territories, including Paris and Reims, are under English control. Orléans, the last major stronghold of the Dauphin Charles' faction, is now besieged. If it falls, France’s fate will be sealed.

February 1429, Paris - Isabeau, through Minou, commands her three daughters to move toward Orléans. She declares that all key players will soon gather there, calling this the "first act" of a grand performance.

February 12, 1429, Near Orléans - Bâtard de Orléans, the city’s commander, attempts a surprise attack on English supply lines with overwhelming numbers. However, the three sisters effortlessly crush his forces. Corbeau mocks Bâtard’s futile efforts, while Lapin gleefully toys with the soldiers. Just as they are about to finish Bâtard, the mercenary La Hire (The Fury) intervenes, dragging the wounded commander to safety. Minou notes La Hire’s reputation and muses that this battle will be entertaining.

March 6, 1429, Chinon Castle - At the Dauphin’s court, Charles VII tests the legitimacy of Tart (Jeanne d’Arc), the so-called "Maid of Orléans." Disguising himself among the courtiers, he watches as Tart immediately identifies him despite the deception as proof of her divine insight. The Dauphin publicly declares her a true messenger of God, rallying his forces for the liberation of Orléans.

April 1429, Chinon to Orléans - Gilles de Rais delivers a rousing speech, inspiring the troops to march toward Orléans. Tart, now accompanied by Melissa de Vignolles, La Hire’s daughter, rides a white horse gifted by the Duke of Alençon. Pernelle observes her from afar, retrieving the legendary Sword of Clovis with magic to aid Tart.

Meanwhile, Isabeau orders Corbeau and Flèche to remain in Orléans, allowing the French forces to gain momentum, only to torment them later.

May 1429, France - Elisa Celjska and Oswald von Wolkenstein of the Holy Roman Empire’s Order of the Dragon seek out the exiled Marshal Richemont, intending to assess Tart’s strength firsthand.

May 7, 1429, Orléans - The decisive clash begins as Tart leads a fierce assault on the Tourelles Fortress. Corbeau, lying in wait, finally confronts and greets her personally.

May 1429, Paris - Minou reports to Isabeau that Orléans is on the verge of falling, with Tart’s forces gaining momentum. Isabeau, silent as ever, watches the unfolding conflict with anticipation. The stage is set with heroes and villains in place.

==Etymology==


==Trivia==
*Both Isabeau and [[Ui Tamaki]] wished for some if not all of the abilities of Kyubey. Isabeau's final Witch form resembles a butterfly while Ui's final Witch form resembles a moth.
*Isabeau's Magical Girl form bears many similarities to Kyubey: the jewels on her shoulders resemble his eyes, she has cat ears on her head, her veil resembles Kyubey's earflaps while her bracelets resemble the rings, and she is surrounded by the [[:File:Vlcsnap-2022-03-18-13h24m19s827.png|same monitoring system]] Kyubey uses in [[Rebellion]]. Looking up close on her Doppel form also reveals a pair of Kyubey's eyes inside the skull's mouth.
*Her magic seal has German, French and English within its design.
** The center of her seal is German and reads "Komm, süsser Tod." which means "Come, sweet Death", likely referencing an 18th Century, German song MWV 478.
*** The song is attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, though it's more accurate to say that he harmonized or arranged it rather than composing it entirely. It first appeared in 1736, and its full title is "Komm, süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh", meaning "Come, sweet death, come blessed rest". The song is a personal, spiritual prayer, where the speaker welcomes death not with fear, but with longing, asking it to come gently and bring release from the world’s pain and struggles. It expresses the Lutheran Christian idea that death is a passage into peace, and it is commonly sung today in funerals, memorials, or private devotion. It also represents the Pietist tradition, a movement in German Protestantism that emphasized personal piety, humility, and an intimate connection with God.
** The triangle around the center is French and splits the sentence into three parts: "L’enfer est / pavé de bonnes / intentions." together translating to "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
*** This is an old proverb with unclear exact origin, but popularized in French and English by the 17th–18th centuries. It warns that good intentions without good outcomes or action can still lead to terrible consequences.
** The middle circle has two sayings, one in French and one in English. The French words once more read "L’enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions." and they're followed by the English translation of the proverb, "Hell is full of good intentions."
** The outer border of the seal is made up from two sentences back to back. They are both common French proverbs.
***The first reads "La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure." which translates to "The strongest reason is always the best." The English equivalent would be "Might makes right."
***The second reads "Faute de grives, on mange des merles." which translates to "Lack of thrushes, one eats blackbirds". The English equivalent would be "Beggars can't be choosers."

{{:Magia Record Units/Isabeau de Bavière (Witch ver.)}}

==Summary==
A former queen of France who sold the throne of France to England in the midst of the Hundred Years War, and was called the "traitor queen". She does not transform into a magical girl, but uses unusual magic reminiscent of a Witch, and stands as the last enemy of Tart (Jeanne d'Arc) and others.

===Witch Description===
La Reine’s Twilight. Her nature is dominion. An avaricious witch who desires endless power and influence. This witch’s main body is actually separate from her larva-shaped legs, and the real body protected by a hard outer shell only rarely reveals its true form. Her Labyrinth is immense enough to cover an entire country, and the populace trapped within it remain none the wiser. The witch feeds on the grief, terror and other negative emotions of the populace swallowed by her Labyrinth’s darkness, and expands her power and territory to become an ever-mightier witch within an ever-larger Labyrinth.

===Side Story===
{{Spoilerbox|
'''''October, 1428''''' 
Melissa de Vignolles and her father La Hire, alongside many other soldiers, move to fight for the freedom of Orleans and to meet Jean de Dunois. All of this is seen by Pernelle and Kyubey within the nearest woods. Pernelle is concerned about the fate of Orleans and it's sudden fallen into the English forces. Pernelle claims that the one responsible for the English army is the traitorous queen, Isabeau de Bavière, saying it is all Kyubey's fault for giving power to Isabeau.

At noon, La Hire tells Melissa that the English have taken full control of Orleans, that all this happened because of the Treaty of Troyes: an agreement made by Isabeau to marry her daughter Catherine de Valois to the King of England, since her plan was for her grandchild to be the king of both France and England. But since this couldn't happen, things got worse between the English and the French. In another place, Pernelle asks Kyubey if the girl he has chosen will stop Isabeau. Kyubey says he isn't interested in stopping the war, he only wants to stop Isabeau from interfering in his work. Kyubey says that Isabeau was always an intelligent woman, even as a teen, but she always had ambition, so that's what made her have a great potential as a magical girl, but could never have guessed what wish she would make...

'''''1385: Northern France – Amiens''''' 
Isabeau, formerly known as Elisabeth, arrives from Bavaria to France in 1385 to marry Charles VI, the future monarch of the French kingdom. Isabeau proved to be a charming and intelligent young woman, as she managed to master much of the French language in a short time and win the affection of much of the court of her future husband. A few days after she arrived in France, she was called to a meeting with Charles and some of his maids, where it was mentioned that their wedding would be soon. But one of the maids, attempting to humiliate Elisabeth, points out that another member of the royal court was named Elisabeth too, and they could not call her "Isabelle" because one of Charles's sisters already had that name too. She proposes calling the future queen "Isabeau" as a joke, something that bothers another of the servants, but Elisabeth proceeds to smile, saying that she loves it. Ffrom that moment on, they call her "Isabeau", enchanting Charles and the rest of her court with her "angelic smile", even making the maid feel ashamed for trying to toy with such a "good girl".

Back in the present, Pernelle says that Isabeau also could read and write in Latin, so she quickly became loved in Charles VI's court, being both intelligent and beautiful. Kyubey says that one of Isabeau's talents was the ability to adapt her personality to the tastes of others in order to control them. Kyubey remembers what Isabeau once told him, since she was a foreigner in France, she needed to make allies fast, so she charmed all the court with a fake personality, since only a fool would fight with someone to make enemies. Pernelle guesses that was her way of masking her greedy and power-hungry nature...

'''''1385: France – Paris''''' 
One day, Isabeau returns to her chambers and at that moment, she meets Kyubey, who appears in front of her and tells her that she has great potential as a magical girl and wants to make a contract with her in exchange for a wish. Isabeau, instead of making her wish, proceeds to ask Kyubey questions about magical girls, witches, and information about him, to which Kyubey answers each and every one of her questions: about what would happen to her body, that magical girls would become witches, and about his role in gathering energy generated by girls and witches and how he is basically immortal due to having many bodies.

Back in the present, Pernelle questions Kyubey how he didn't see that the 14-year-old Isabeau seemed to be curious about witches and magical girls, and why he didn't see her as a threat, but Kyubey says he took the risk as the incubators thought that her energy was worth for making a contract, even with all the risks.

In the flashback, Isabeau happily starts laughing while making a big face and proceeds to kill Kyubey with a candelabra. At that moment, another Kyubey appeared, asking why she did that if he had already explained himself to her. Isabeau continues smiling as she tells Kyubey that she just wanted to verify that what he told her was true and tells Kyubey how happy she is to have met him, explaining that she did not come to France just to be an ornament and the wife of a king, as she wants to have control over France, England, Spain, Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire and the rest of the European continent. Kyubey tells her that if that is her case, she can grant her that wish, but Isabeau explains that she actually wants to achieve that for herself and has discovered how to achieve it. With a smile, she proceeds to hold Kyubey with her hands, saying that he is magnificent as if he was "a true incubus". So she asks him for her wish: "I want everything you possess."

Isabeau becomes a magical girl, being surprised by her outfit. Kyubey explains to her that it is her magical girl outfit and that, due to her desire, she has become part of him: an Incubator. She obtains the unique ability to create magical girls like Kyubey by sensing their karmic potential like he does. In addition, she also has a large part of the Incubators' other abilities, having great access to all the knowledge that Kyubey possesses, and that her body is eternal and will have the same appearance when older. Isabeau doesn't really understand much of Kyubey's knowledge because it is almost impossible for humans to understand it as Kyubey explains, but Isabeau doesn't seem to care and adds that now that her body is immortal she can start creating her own army of magical girls, who will strengthen her with their wishes and help her eventually dominate Europe. Kyubey asks her how she feels about everything she knows, to which Isabeau adds that she feels like "the Devil himself incarnate."

Pernelle thinks that Isabeaus's powers are too powerful, and she finds it strange that Kyubey didn't feel that she was dangerous to him. But Kyubey says that no human will ever be capable of replacing the Incubators, since humans can't comprehend all the knowledge they have, and Isabeau wasn't a threat to them at that moment, since Isabeau wanted to take every step of her conquest slowly, as she thought she had all the time of the world because her body was immortal.

'''''1385: France – Paris''''' 
Isabeau begins spending time exploring the French palace with the servant who tried to humiliate her. They wanted to help her after being fascinated by "her angelic aura" and thought how difficult it could be for her as a foreigner now living as a monarch in a foreign country. The servant tells Isabeau about several of her husband's most powerful relatives in his court, such as his uncle Philip I, who arranged the marriage between Isabeau and Charles, adding that she thinks Charles VI is now ready to lead the country.

Isabeau proceeds to ask the servant what would happen if her husband could no longer rule France, to which the servant says it'd very difficult to say, but the power will probably pass to Charles's brother, Louis I. Isabeau proceeds to ask the servant more questions about other members who could inherit control of France, and she tells her that they would be Philip I himself or his son John I. Isabeau thanks her for the information, and the delighted servant tells her that it is an honor to serve the future Queen and that "her only wish is to serve her for the rest of eternity." Isabeau smiles at her having realized that she has great karmic potential, just as Kyubey told her, and asks the maid if that is what she really wants, she can grant her wish. Isabeau proceeds to transform in her magical girl form and tells her maid to close her eyes, empty her mind, and in this way, she will grant her wish, so that she will swear eternal loyalty to her.

'''''1392: France – Paris''''' 

Isabeau begins her plan using her maids and servants as spies, who overheard conversations between the palace soldiers as they moved unnoticed from one place to another. A servant of Isabeau spies on a conversation, in which the soldiers talk about Charles VI's poor mental state and how he attacked his brother Louis I on an expedition after having a terrifying vision. The maid informs Isabeau of this, and she realizes that her plan to drive her husband crazy has begun to flourish. Isabeau used the power of one of her servants to start trying to drive her husband crazy, causing him to have these visions while attacking Louis I. Kyubey appears in her room, saying that it has been years since they last saw each other. Kyubey tells her that she has turned several of her maids into magical girls to increase her number of powers or use them for her own benefit in her conspiracies, stating that she forces them to make those wishes. Kyubey does not understand how Isabeau is unable to realize that she now grants miracles, but instead of asking to change things, she only sees her maid servants as magic that just gives her more power in order to be better at manipulation and to make herself more powerful. Isabeau deduces that this must bother Kyubey, but he explains that he really has no emotions and is only intrigued by her incoherent actions and sees them as disadvantageous to his species because he cannot collect the magical energy that Isabeau has been collecting for herself during those years. Isabeau seems to ignore this and Kyubey asks her what she plans to do now. Isabeau tells him that she will make her husband leave the stage with a new power that she has obtained from one of her maids.

'''''1393: France – Near Paris - Saint-Marche''''' 
Isabeau organizes a ball in honor of one of her bridesmaids, in which she uses her magic to summon fire that burns alive a large part of Charles's court and Charles himself, who was almost burned alive during the event, which became known as Bal des Ardents (The Dance of the Burned), where Isabeau acted the part of a worried wife asking soldiers to "save" the lives of her husband and the other attendees. Due to her husband's obvious paranoia, Isabeau proceeded to try to claim control of the crown, although Charles's uncle Philip II, his cousin John I, and his younger brother Louis I also tried to obtain control of the crown.

'''''1403: France – Paris ''''' 
Isabeau became the head of the French crown and acted as a "mediator" between Phillip and John's conflicts with Louis.

'''''1404: France – Paris ''''' 
Isabeau summoned her brother-in-law, Louis I. He wasn't interested in talking to her as she and John I had the power of France, but Isabeau asked him if he was really interested in having power, to which Louis I told her that he did and that he would not mind being called vain for that, saying that he would be better at ruling than his uncle or his cousin. Isabeau approaches him smiling and saying that she "highly values honesty" and kisses him, beginning a secret love affair with him. Some time later, several of the people at court quickly discovered that Isabeau had an affair with her brother-in-law Louis, even though Isabeau's main ally at that time was John I, who had been left alone in his conflict after the death of his father, Philip II.

'''''November 1407: France – Paris ''''' 
People still can't believe Isabeau had been in a secret affair with Louis I for 4 years, since he was the enemy of her main ally, John I, but then Louis was murdered while returning from an encounter with Isabeau at his home, being killed by Isabeau's influence on John. Kyubey approaches Isabeau again to point out that he is aware of her actions and warns her that the French people are beginning to lean in favor of John I after the rumor spread that Isabeau and Louis were lovers, but Isabeau laughs, saying that she doesn't care, and she has been thinking of a way to get rid of John.

'''''1410''''' 
La Hire hears from fellow soldiers that an alliance between the Argmanacs and the Burgudians has been formed to carry on the legacy of Louis I, and the leaders of this faction are John I and Queen Isabeau, but La Hire sees it as a traitorous action that Isabeau is jumping back and forth between allies that are enemies. Then La Hire learns about the division of France and the plans of the Argmanacs to take France...

In her palace, Isabeau is questioned by Kyubey once again if everything is going according to her plan. Isabeau says that she wants to divide France in two and eventually take control of the crown in a more easy way. Isabeau admits that not everything has really gone in the way she wants, but she is making more and more progress in taking down John I. Kyubey tells her that her actions have led to the fragmentation of the country and a civil war about to break out, to which Isabeau responds that she already has one more plan. Due to the events of internal conflicts, England will probably plan to intervene to take over French territory as they did in the past. Isabeau says that some of her daughters are "very pretty" and they can probably marry into the English crown. Isabeau plans to wed her daughter Catherine de Valois to the future king of England, Henry V. Isabeau also states that her youngest daughters "have" the same potential as her, and she is interested in making them like her.

Kyubey points out that he is not surprised that Isabeau is planning to turn her youngest daughters into magical girls, saying that unlike all the other sons and daughters Isabeau had, she spends all her time with them, even taking them on field trips, and deduces that she must really love the three of them. Isabeau tells Kyubey that he is right, and reveals that the real reason she wants to make her three youngest daughters into magical girls is because she wants to keep them by her side forever. Kyubey changes the subject and asks Isabeau if it wouldn't be better to use her own magic to take over France for herself and points out that she doesn't seem to take full advantage of her magical girl powers. Isabeau explains that she actually feels great pleasure in doing all this from the shadows slowly, saying that, in this way, she "savors" the process of gaining control and power. And thanks to her desire, she has obtained a body that has stopped aging for a long time, and by using little of her magic, she will have an eternal life, and rushing to achieve her goals would not be as satisfying as that moment. Kyubey wonders why Isabeau considers this to be true, knowing the inevitable truth of every magical girl...

Back in the present, Pernelle says that things really did go in favor of Isabeau: the Argmanacs installed Dalphin Charles, Isabeau's son, as the heir of the throne, and in 1419, he was responsible for the death of John I, being manipulated by Isabeau to get rid of him. Kyubey says that then, to get rid of Charles as soon as possible, she started the rumor that Dalphin Charles was an illegitimate son, and caused problems with his throne succession, signing the Treaty of Troyes in 1420 in order to marry her daughter Catherine to King Henry V of England. Isabeau's plan was to have control over her future grandchild to take control of both France and England, but things didn't happen as she wanted them to...

'''''August 31, 1422''''' 
King Henry V of England dies.

'''''October 21, 1422''''' 
King Charles VI of France dies.

This is what set Isabeau into a state of despair, as her ambitions would not become true. Kyubey says what happened at that moment was inevitable: Isabeau was slowly turning into a witch. Kyubey states that by this point, Corbeau was the only one of her three daughters to have become a magical girl and shortly after that is when Isabeau started to go insane, and she couldn't recognize her daughters anymore, although she still loved them. She was consumed by her frustration and, in the words of Pernelle, became a monster in the form of a human. Pernelle says that at that moment, Kyubey should have won like he always does, but something else happened...

In a flashback, Isabeau is shown turning into a witch in front of her three daughters while in a fit of rage, saying that she couldn't let things end like this because she hadn't taken control of anything yet. Watching everything from afar, Kyubey finally believed he could collect the energy produced by Isabeau and the magical girls she had created, but just as the three girls were crying for the death of their mother, the older sister Lapin screamed that she didn't want things to end this way. While Corbeau fought the witch, Lapin was holding her mother's body and said to the witch that she too would become a magical girl and made her wish: "I want my mother to return to the way she was before".

Back in the present, Pernelle says that Kyubey didn't account for Crèpuscule de la Reine to retain Isabeau's powers, so she still was part incubator and this was how she granted Lapin's wish, turning Isabeau's body into a puppet for her witch form. Kyubey says that's true, and the real enemy is the witch born out of Isabeau's despair. Pernelle says that if Isabeau and her daughters aren't stopped, humanity could disappear, so that's why Kyubey wants to stop them as this is inconvenient for him...

'''''October, 1428''''' 
Isabeau orders Minou to attack Orleans, which the three sisters are excited about. But Minou says their mother also wants to support the English in Normandy, so they divide their tasks up: Corbeau will take care of Orleans, Lapin Normandy, and Minou will scatter grief seeds from their maids in rebellious villages around France. Minou also suggests they start recruiting more magical girl servants for their army, so she plans on killing families and taking the daughters from those families to make them magical girls. The three sisters start working this way, creating carnage everywhere they went.

Back in the present, Pernelle hopes that Kyubey is working on solving the problem, and he says that, thanks to a certain girl (Riz Hawkwood), he has been searching for a girl to stop Isabeau, and believes they might be close to finding that girl. Pernelle says that the prophecy is something invented, and he shouldn't believe it, but Kyubey insists that it is people's belief that can increase the karmic potential of the girl he is looking for. Pernelle says that Isabeau is becoming stronger, and they don't know what wish was made by Minou, Isabeau's youngest daughter, and that it might be a problem. Still, Pernelle wants to save humanity. Kyubey asks her what her plans are, but she refuses to tell him, but she does think that her husband, Nicolas, once told her about the importance of miracles and belief in the human heart.

===Side Story===
{{Spoilerbox|
'''''April, 1429: Holy Roman Empire – Western Border''''' 

Elisa, Pernelle, and Cube stand at the French border where they’re greeted by a band of soldier-like Familiars. Cube warns Elisa to take caution as she proceeds to beat the Familiars down thoroughly. It seems the rumors of Phantom Knights spotted at the borders were true, although it turns out they were nothing more than Familiars. Elisa finds it odd that there would be rumors of Familiars roaming throughout France when normal people can’t see Witches or Familiars. Pernelle reminds Elisa that she used to be able to see things like that before she contracted because she had the potential, which means there must be a ton of these Familiars roaming through France for enough potential people to see them and for it to generate a rumor. Pernelle was originally going to have a human messenger take her letter to the fortress, but now she sees she was right to ask Elisa to do it. Elisa is glad her Uncle Oswald wasn’t able to join her this time as they head off to the fortress.

Elisa recalls when she was first tasked with this mission. The Imperial courts had originally tasked her uncle with delivering the message, but since he was out of town on a different mission the task fell to Elisa. Elis is happy to fulfill the mission, as she’s proud to serve her country no matter what the task. A servant girl walks up to Elisa and warns her of the rumors she’d heard of Phantom Knights roaming the lands of France. The soldier who had given Elisa her mission begins to admonish the poor girl, thinking she had dared to try to convince Elisa not to take the mission. The poor girl gets flustered until Elisa steps in to defend her. She knows the girl was just trying to warn her to be careful and she thanks her for her concern. Considering what the girl had told her, Elisa fears there may be magic at play here and doesn’t think the human soldiers she would normally bring with her would be enough, hence why she had Pernelle join her.

Back in the present day, Elisa turns to Pernelle. Pernelle was more than happy to accompany Elisa on her mission, seeing as how the rumors of Phantom Knights piqued her interest. Elisa was the one to ask Pernelle to join her, but she demands to know what Cube is doing here since he wasn’t invited. Cube says he invited himself to investigate what was going on. He can tell that magic has been used to intervene in the Hundred Years War between England and France and he wanted to confirm his theory. Elisa threatens to roast Cube alive if he says another word and Cube scampers off into the words before Elisa can make good on her threat. Pernelle asks Elisa if she’s always been so hostile towards Cube. Elisa says she always has, and on that note she doesn’t trust Pernelle completely either. Just then the air around them grows thick as they’re accosted by another group of Familiars. Elisa takes them all down, making good use of her firearm.

Elisa dusts herself off as a normal soldier comes up the road and greets the two girls, asking if they’re lost. Elisa introduces herself, mentioning the royal letter she was to deliver to the fortress ahead. The soldier is surprised to find that his fortress has guests and offers to guide them there. Cube telepathically tells Elisa this must be the lord of the fortress to have referred to it as his own. Elisa tells him to quiet down unless he wants to get riddled with bullet holes, though she does find it odd that a lord would be walking in the woods alone without a guard.

Elisa and the lord talk along the way to the fortress. The lord thanks her for getting rid of the phantom knights that were plaguing the land. Both Elisa and Pernelle note that there are very few soldiers at the castle. Pernelle mentions that there may be more ghosts roaming the lands than the ones they took care of. The lord admits this is true, as several villagers have gone missing over the past few days. Because of this many of the remaining villagers and most of the soldiers have fled, nicknaming the place “the ghost fortress”. Elisa’s letter was a request for troops, but seeing the sad state of the fortress leaves no doubt in her mind that they will not be able to aid her. Pernelle telepathically tells Elisa that it is odd that the fortress and the borders should be in such shabby state yet the inner parts of France and the Roman Empire are unaware of it. Elisa also finds it odd that the lord has refused to take off his helmet this entire time. Cube pipes up, mentioning the faint traces of magic all around them. It’s as if they’re in the middle of a Witch’s labyrinth. Elisa admits that Cube was helpful for once as she orders Pernelle to cast a reveal spell. Pernelle reminds her she’s an alchemist, not a mage. But she can at least briefly negate a curse if that will do. Elisa tells her to hurry up and do it as Pernelle dispels the labyrinth.

The group finds they are still in the forest, but the fortress has disappeared. The air grows thick around them once more as they turn to find the lord has been revealed to be one of the soldier-like Familiars. Elisa transforms and takes on the group of Familiars. She eventually defeats them and stands to catch her breath. Pernelle thinks somethings not right, since only a powerful Witch should have been able to cast illusions on all of them like that. But it seems this was only the labyrinth of a Familiar, not a Witch. Elisa is upset to hear she was tricked by a lowly Familiar and almost handed her letter off to him. Cube says it was very unusual for a Familiar to act that way, and warns them that France is roaming with Strange Witches and Familiars everywhere. The Witches and Familiars are also brazen enough to roam throughout France in broad daylight, not even hiding in labyrinths. There are enough of them that they’ve begun to pour into the Roman Empire. However, in the Roman Empire they still seek to hide themselves in Labyrinths which makes them that much harder to detect.

Elisa reminds them they have a mission to complete and need to make up for lost time. Cube wonders if the fortress they’re heading to even exists. He’s never heard of a fortress in this particular area, nor has he heard any of the place names she was given. Pernelle also doubts this fortress and lord even exist. Elisa wonders if she was sent on a trap and yells at Cube for not telling her all of this earlier. Pernelle apologizes to Elisa as she didn’t even notice until now. She asks to see the letter and notices that the royal seal on it is a fake, albeit a well-crafted one. On top of that, this was a mission that was too dangerous for an ordinary knight so it must have been a trick meant to appear like it came from the court. Because Elisa is the daughter of the Empress, it means there will be people who will try to do her harm.

The mission must have been a trap. Either someone wanted Elisa dead or else they simply wanted Elisa gone so they can strike in her absence. Many important nobleman and priests visit the Order of the Dragon, including its founder the empress Barbora. Worried something may happen to her mother, Elisa orders Pernelle to transport them back to court immediately. Pernelle is ready to comply, but with two people and such a large distance it will take her some time to prepare the spell. As Pernelle prepares for their departure, Elisa wonders if there isn’t a traitor amongst the Order of the Dragon. She wonders if maybe someone was jealous because she often used her Magical Girl powers to their benefit. Her mother’s influence was growing in court as well so any number of power-hungry nobles could be behind this. All of this reminds her of the days when she would get caught up in the feuds at the Imperial court.

'''''Several years earlier…: Transylvania – Oradea Outskirts ''''' 
Cube meets with Elisa for the first time. He offers Elisa a contract in exchange for her wish. Elisa asks Pernelle if that is what she is. Pernelle responds that she is both a Magical Girl and an alchemist, although not all Magical Girls are both like she is. Cube offers her any wish she wants granted in exchange for battling Witches. Elisa met Pernelle and Cube not long after her and her mother were thrown out of court. Elisa is the illegitimate child of the Empress and was raised in secrecy under an assumed identity. But they were inevitably discovered, hence why they were exiled. In her eyes she was someone who “should never have been” and her very existence was always rejected. So she made her wish: “I want everyone to acknowledge my existence!” Afterwards, they were welcomed back to the Imperial court. Soon after, Elisa was accepted into the Order of the Dragon under recommendation of a certain someone. Elisa life was going great, now that everyone greeted her with open arms and she even had the trust of the emperor. But inside Elisa felt a great unease. She’d been caught in a whirlwind of scheming, between the people who fawned on her in order to gain her mother’s approval and those who worked tirelessly to depose her mother. But there was always one person she could trust. The only person who actually looked out for her and cared for her even before she was exiled and became a Magical Girl: her uncle Oswald.

Pernelle asks Elisa if she was thinking about her past. Elisa responds that she was remembering the time when Pernelle sweet-talked her into becoming a Magical Girl. Pernelle says she never sweet-talked anyone, but Elisa held a very rare quality that was not found in many people. Not only that, Pernelle gifted her with her prized weapon that she forged specially. Elisa says those are two different things. She’s more mad over the fact that they never mentioned the fate she would have to bear as a Magical Girl. Cube tries to remind Elisa that she was the one who cut their conversation short only to have Elisa interrupt him midsentence and shoot him with her firearm. She tells the anxious Pernelle not to worry, since she missed his vital spots on purpose. Pernelle finishes the preparations for the spell, but not before healing Cube’s wounds first.

'''''Holy Roman Empire – The Order of the Dragon Headquarters''''' 
Elisa is happy to report to Pernelle that her mother the Empress is safe and she’s doubled the number of guards around her just in case. Pernelle replies that the Order seems to be fine as well, concluding that Elisa may have been the target of the plot. She asks Cube for his opinion, but it seems he had run off. Elisa claims his fear of her must have been too much, which is good since she doesn’t want to be indebted to him for any info. Though she admits she’s very worried about how the Order is doing, especially after seeing how agitated everyone had become after they learned there was a possible traitor amongst their midst.

Since the only person Elisa trusts is her Uncle Oswald who is currently out of the country, Elisa takes it upon herself to find the traitor. She begins by gathering suspects and interrogating them separately. As she questions one soldier, she learns that her Uncle was similarly given an order that would have him leave the country. Considering Elisa’s letter came shortly after, it’s possible they were trying to separate the two as part of their plan. Elisa figures the letter that Oswald received was also a fake. Now there are even more suspects, and the feeling of dread that Elisa has had ever since they returned began to grow further. Suddenly, the truth dawns on Elisa from out of nowhere and she tells Pernelle to round up the main suspects for questioning.

The first suspect is the soldier who gave her Uncle Oswald his orders in a falsified letter. The soldier claims he received the letter from the court representative, who is the second suspect. The third suspect is the soldier who gave Elisa a falsified letter. The final suspect is the maiden who warned Elisa about the phantom knights before they departed. Elisa takes out her magic firearm that was crafted by Pernelle. She tells the suspects that the barrel has been loaded with magic bullets that will not harm a pure person. Using this, she will test the purity of each of the suspects until the culprit is shot dead. She asks those who believe whole-heartedly in their innocence to step forward, but none of the suspects do. She transforms into her magical girl state and cocks her gun. Pernelle asks her if she’s really going to shoot them here, but Elisa claims they were all guilty except for the maiden.

She shoots the three soldiers, causing the barrier they were in all along to dissipate. The soldiers drop their illusions, revealing themselves to be phantom knights. The maiden warns Elisa to flee from the ghosts, reminding Elisa in the process that normal people can’t see Familiars. Elisa assures her she’ll be fine and orders her to run and hide while she takes on the phantom knights. Some of the soldiers that were caught in the barrier are also frightened by the invisible beings that Elisa was fighting. Elisa tells them to stand and fight, asking them to recall their pride as members of the Order and calling the maiden braver than them. The soldiers stop their panicking and return to Elisa’s side. Elisa continues to battle the Familiars, but she’s outnumbered. She calls out to Pernelle to cast a spell of detection to allow the soldiers to see the Familiars so they can help her in her fight. Pernelle does as she’s told and the soldiers soon jump into the fray, beating the Familiars alongside Elisa.

With the fight over, the soldiers ask for forgiveness for running from an enemy. Elisa says their boldness in fighting the Familiars has redeemed their initial cowardice. Some of the members of the Order may be a little “weak in the knees” but at least they know there isn’t a single traitor among them. She gives her deepest gratitude to the maiden for giving her sound advice. Pernelle can’t believe that French Familiars were able to penetrate as far as the stronghold where the Order stays. Elisa says it was all thanks to her tracing the faint trace of magic from earlier and following the trail. After that, it was easy for her to detect the three Familiars and that they were actually in a barrier. The thing about the magic bullets was just to buy her time to dispel the barrier. Seeing as how the maiden didn’t avoid the bullets either served to help prove her innocence as well. Cube could understand the Familiars manipulating the members of the Order once they were in their labyrinth, but normally Familiars don’t target a specific person. He wonders if maybe someone lured the Familiars over with that purpose in mind. Elisa says it’s possible, before she reminds him not to butt in to other people’s conversations and prompting Cube to run away in haste before he gets shot at again. A solider then approaches Elisa with the news of her uncle’s return and his being accompanied by the Empress Barbara. Elisa hurries to meet with them.

Elisa receives her orders from her mother the Empress. She is to go to France to ascertain the strength of “La Pucelle”. If she truly is a “messenger of God” sent to help crown the legitimate king of France, then they are to help her in any way possible. Elisa is reminded of the blinding light she saw that day emanating from France and wonders if that has anything to do with her latest mission. Elisa leaves, closing the door behind her. The Empress remarks on what a fine young lady Elisa has grown in to, doubtless the result of Oswald’s influence in her upbringing. Oswald is humbled by her kind words and tells the Empress of his intentions on accompanying Elisa on her journey to France. It is May 7, 1429 on the outskirts of Orléans at Fort Tourelles. Elisa looks from afar as Tart and Riz battle with Corbeau.

==Trivia==
* The official English translation had her name spelled "Elisa", however the katakana shows it spelled ''za'' rather than ''sa''.
* Her Magia is based on the attack of the same name she used against [[Lapin|Lapin's]] witch form in [[Tart Magica Chapter 13|Chapter 13]].
** It is also German for "The Dragon Lindworm". A lindworm is a type of serpent dragon. This could also link to her links with dragons (Includes her doppel)
* Her witch/doppel name is german for 'A Red Dragon'. A red dragon is also prominently featured in the Bible book of Revelation as being representative of the Devil.
* It may look like Elisa is riding her dragon-formed doppel, but her lower abdomen seems to be fused with it, hidden by her skirt.
* On her Doppel's carriage is written the Hungarian proverb "''Szégyen a futás, de hasznos''" ("Running away is shameful, but useful"), upside-down and reversed.

==Story==
===Backstory===
{{Spoilerbox|
As a young girl, Corbeau was chosen alongside her sisters [[Minou]] and [[Lapine]] to be among the first magical girls [[Isabeau]] contracted due to their closely interwoven fates.
Isabeau grew to become like a mother to the three girls she took in. However, she eventually turned into a witch and was poised to kill the three girls, of whom only Corbeau had as yet contracted to become a magical girl. This lead to Lapine making her wish for her mother to “return to how she was.” Since the transformation from magical girl to witch is irreversible, her wish lead to Isabeau’s witch mind inhabiting the now empty husk of her former physical body. Isabeau was no longer mindless and now retained her original powers that were granted to her from her own wish. Even so, she still retained her witch’s ambition to destroy all of France.
}}

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Corbeau first appeared in Chapter 5, standing with Lapine and Minou as they finish slaughtering the soldiers of Orleans, a stronghold that held four thousand soldiers. Corbeau threatens the last of the injured soldiers as Lapine jeers and taunts them and Minou cuts off their retreat with her cat-o-nine tails. Before Corbeau can finish off the commander of the troops, someone fires an arrow at her. [[Etienne de Vignolles |Etienne]] appears, having been searching for Jean and assists him to stand. Minou notices what is happening and lashing at them with her whip, but the two are able to limp away to safety.

Back at the outskirts of Orleans, at the fort of Saint-Loup, Lapine is busy singing as she walks along the edge of the outermost wall, kicking the dismembered limbs of dead soldiers out into the distance. Corbeau asks her to go easy with the gore, claiming she's making a huge mess. Minou appears and relays orders to her sisters, leaving [[Flèche]] with Corbeau to take care of [[Tart]] as Minou takes Lapine back home for the time being. A short time later, Corbeau is seen speaking with the English military commander, John Talbot, letting them know they can leave the fort to the French if need be. When the English Captain William Glasdale contradicts Corbeau, she orders Flèche to fire her arrows at him, killing him in the process. She then orders the soldiers to leave as she wants Tart all to herself.

As the French soldiers began their assault on the fort, Corbeau causes black feathers to fly at the soldiers, impaling several of them. She leaps down from here viewpoint on the tower and, after knocking Tart away, challenges [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]]. As they struggle against each other, Riz notes that Corbeau’s soul gem has not darkened despite the magic she is using to heal herself of her wounds. {{spoiler|It seems that Corbeau is pushing her own impurities onto Riz’s soul gem, causing it to darken that much faster.}} As Tart attempts to join the battle, Corbeau orders Flèche to aim her arrows at Tart. Corbeau then uses her feathers to pin Riz’s shadow down, immobilizing her. Before she can strike, Etienne attacks Corbeau, causing her to throw him face first into the ground. As [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] rushes to his side, Corbeau orders Flèche to finish Etienne, which she does by conjuring a large spear-like arrow. As she unleashes her attack, Tart steps in to block it, taking the full brunt of the damage and collapsing from her wound. It is at this point that Melissa contracts with Kyubey in order to save Tart and her father from their fatal wounds. Melissa then begins to attack Corbeau with her newfound powers, even going so far as to use her anti-matter bomb in an attempt to destroy her. But the attack misses, leaving a large gaping hole where a bridge formerly stood. Corbeau is unfazed by this, and is confused when she encounters Kyubey as she had never met him before. As she’s distracted, Riz pulls Tart and Melissa into her shadow realm to formulate a plan. A few moments later, the girls come out of the shadows and coordinate a two-pronged attack against Corbeau between Riz and Melissa as Tart continues her battle with Flèche. Corbeau is surprised to find that her soul gem is now accumulating impurities due to {{spoiler|Riz and Melissa handing their soul gems to Tart, who is battling outside the range of Corbeau's magic.}} As Tart incapacitates Flèche with her “La Lumiere”, Minou appears and calls out to Corbeau to use *that* while the English soldiers are away. Minou and Corbeau leave in one of Minou’s portals after Minou brands Flèche, causing her to transform into a witch and leaving her behind to continue her attack on Riz, Melissa, and Tart.
Back at the castle later that evening, Corbeau is seen having a bath along with her two sisters as Lapine is overjoyed at the possibility of fighting Tart and her friends herself.

Several months later at the city of Patay, Minou, Corbeau and Lapine stand at the head of the English forces as Lapine relishes the idea of ‘playing’ with the French forces opposing them. Before Minou can say anything, Lapine had already began her attack on Tart, Riz, Melissa, and [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]]. Unfortunately, the four magical girls are able to deflect most of Lapine’s initial attacks, hitting her with their weapons several times and causing Lapine’s soul gem to darken. Her soul gem transforms into a grief seed and hatches Lapine’s witch form. After transforming, Lapine activates her ability to possess any and all weapons in her vicinity, including that of her English allies (with the exception of Tart and Elisa as their weapons have magical abilities imparted on them by [[Pernelle]]. She telepathically causes them to fly at her enemies and damaging them. She even forms a towering sword-like shape composed of the weapons she’s amassed and drops it at the opposing magical girls. Tart is able to deflect this massive attack on her friends even as Lapine activates her secondary ability: the ability to cause magical girls to lose their magical girl state temporarily. As Lapine in her witch form continues to battle the magical girls, Corbeau takes this opportunity to continue her fight with Riz earlier. As Corbeau and Riz trade blows, Riz is able to aim a high kick at her face. As Corbeau is distracted by this, Riz aims a high kick at her face which connects. As her shadows tie down Corbeau's feet, Riz somersaults at her and grabs her by the head as she lands, twisting it completely backwards. Corbeau lands on the ground as Riz lands a few feet away. Melissa congratulates her for defeating Corbeau, but Corbeau is still alive and begins to struggle to her feet. Riz and Melissa watch as Corbeau stands and realigns her head, Melissa surprised that she's still alive even after such an injury.

Elisa and Tart attempt to coordinate a surprise attack on Lapine, but the eyes on her cape have the same ability as her rabbit eyes and they both revert to normal girls temporarily. Despite this, the two girls are eventually able to distract Lapine and successfully defeat her with Elisa’s rifle-turned-canon. However, her defeat only causes her to revert back into a magical girl, owing to the nature of her wish and the abilities it granted her. Minou retreats with an unconscious Lapine into one of her portals as Corbeau unleashes her ''Danse Macabre''. Reaper-like skeletons fly out of the magic circles Corbeau summoned, black feathers flying out from their eyeless sockets. Everyone begins to double over in pain, wondering what's happening to their bodies. Riz looks at the tumor-like boils on her hands and recognizes it as something she's seen before. Corbeau laughs and reminds Riz she told her this fight would be a massacre and tells them all to show her the dance of death. As both the French and English forces alike lay doubled in agony, Corbeau beats down the weakened magical girls. Tart struggles to her feet and attempts to fight Corbeau, but is too weakened to do more than swing her sword feebly. Corbeau picks her up by the neck and mocks Tart’s attempts to fight back. As Tart warns her that she’s hurting her English allies as well with her magic, Corbeau scoffs and responds that she doesn’t care since her magic will kill everyone who comes near. She demands to know what it matters since everyone must die eventually, just like Tart’s sister. At these words, Tart's soul gem shines brightly and Corbeau's fingers are bent backwards as the force of Tart's magic caused her to be released from her grip. Tart glows with the power of her magic and an immense magic circle of Tart's doing appears in the sky overhead, casting light down on the soldiers below.

As the light bathes the battlefield, all of the soldiers and magical girls both English and French alike begin to stand and realize they've been healed of plague as well as their wounds. Corbeau is enraged by this and as she demands to know who Tart really is, Tart leaps up and slashed down her sword with full force at Corbeau, ultimately defeating her as the force of it knocks her into some nearby woods. She lands against the trunk of a tree and falls to her knees, greatly weakened. Tart aims her blade at Corbeau, telling her this is the end as Corbeau tries to stand. But all Corbeau can think of is her two sisters, Lapine and Minou. Before she can deliver the finishing blow, a portal appears behind Corbeau and Minou steps through. {{spoiler|While Corbeau is overfilled with joy at the sight of her sister, Minou kneels down and takes Corbeau’s soul gem in her hands, informing her this is the end. Confused, Corbeau asks her why and if she doesn't see how much she loves her and Lapine. Minou confirms that this is what she suspected and says she stopped serving their benefactor a long time ago. As Corbeau yells out once more to Minou asking her why she can't understand how much she loves them, Minou shatters Corbeau's soul gem and tells her she doesn't love her any longer. Corbeau falls forward, calling out her sisters' names as she dies. Minou tells her that at the very least she will tell Lapine that Corbeau died honorably in battle. Tart angrily demands she explain herself as Riz calls her heartless. As Minou summons a portal, she giggles and says it'll be something to look forward to as she gathers Corbeau's body and takes it back with her, leaving the heroines alone in the woods. The two turn to go, knowing the battle isn't over yet.}}

===Corbeau in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]===
Corbeau was the primary antagonist of the special event [[Magia Record Story The Chiming Bell that Transcends Time|The Chiming Bell that Transcends Time]]. In the event, she fused some of Tart's hair into special candles that would allow her to invade Tart's dreams and mess with her mind, hopefully breaking her spirit so she could no longer lead France to victory. Her element is dark and her magia is named "La Danse Macabre".

She was later released as a playable character in the follow-up event [[Magia Record Story Rebel of a Dawnless Land|Rebel of a Dawnless Land]].

For more information, see [[Corbeau in Magia Record]]
===Corbeau in [[Magia Exedra]]===
''See [[Corbeau in Magia Exedra]]''

==Powers and Abilities==
Corbeau's abilities change from encounter to encounter. She can get rid of certain powers once her enemies learn to work around them {{spoiler|by forcing her servants to make contracts with Isabeau for her own benefit.}} For example, in Chapter 8, Corbeau had the ability to corrupt other soul gems in the place of her own within a 50 meter radius, but abandoned this power after [[Riz Hawkwood| Riz]] figures out and exploits the limits of that power. When she used this power, she warned Minou away lest her impurities accidentally get pushed onto Minou.

Corbeau's most dangerous ability is "La Danse Macabre", which gives her opponents the bubonic plague.

==Observations==
Corbeau is the second eldest of the three sisters and the first one to step onto any battlefield. While Minou acts more as an intelligence gatherer and coordinates the three sisters and Lapine is more of a childish trump card, Corbeau is usually the one to do most of the dirty work in killing off armies of enemy soldiers and holding down the fort at Orleans where she was ordered to be rid of La Pucelle. However, she finds battles to be more of a fun thing and revels in anything that can give her even the slightest bit of challenge.

==Etymology==
* Corbeau is the French word for "raven".

==Story==
===Backstory===
In 1385, at the young age of fourteen, Isabeau was sent to France to wed the king. Due to the timing of her arrival and coronation, in the thick of the Hundred Years' War, much of the people of France pitied the young queen, who was in the heart of the turmoil. However Isabel used her beauty and charm to her ends and woo all the people around her. One day as the king was attending a ball organized by Isabeau to celebrate the marriage of one of her ladies-in-waiting, without warning the guests suddenly ignited and the flames spread throughout the room. While the king remained unharmed, his psyche was so scarred and his nerves so frayed that he was no longer fit to rule. The next incident occurred when the king’s younger brother, Louis I, duke of Orleans was assassinated in the streets of Paris by the king’s nephew, John of Burgundy, following a visit to Isabeau’s home. John of Burgundy was himself later assassinated in a plan orchestrated by Isabeau’s own son, the Dauphin Charles. Soon Isabeau was the only one with any real power in the regency and it was she, acting on behalf of her husband, who signed the treaty with England that ceded the right to inherit the throne of France to the offspring of the English King. Even though the Dauphin was the son of the king and the rightful heir to the throne, a condition of the treaty stated that the king of France would offer his daughter to the King of England to wed and their offspring would be the next king. This offspring would therefore be the king of both England and France, allowing Isabeau to wield her influence over both countries. In the end, Isabeau came to be known as "The woman who swore France away."

During Isabeau’s first days in France, Kyubey approached her in her bedchambers. While Kyubey was trying to work out a contract with her, Isabeau asked him a number of questions as well, such as what magical girls and witches were. She wanted details on contracts, wishes, and also about Kyubey's very existence. After Isabeau kills Kyubey with a candlestick to test the veracity of his words, she makes her wish “for everything he possesses” (in reference to Kyubey). This gave her the powers of an Incubator, but despite this she was still a magical girl and fated to eventually become a witch.
As a young girl, [[Corbeau]] was chosen alongside her sisters [[Minou]] and [[Lapine]] to be among the first magical girls Isabeau contracted due to their closely interwoven fates.
Isabeau grew to become like a mother to the three girls she took in. However, she eventually turned into a witch and was poised to kill the three girls, of whom only Corbeau had as yet contracted to become a magical girl. This lead to Lapine making her wish for her mother to “return to how she was.” Since the transformation from magical girl to witch is irreversible, her wish lead to Isabeau’s witch mind inhabiting the now empty husk of her former physical body. Isabeau was no longer mindless and now retained her original powers that were granted to her from her own wish. Even so, she still retained her witch’s ambition to destroy all of France.

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Isabeau first appeared in Chapter 15, following the coronation of the Dauphin Charles. As the people celebrate the coronation, several of the women in attendance suddenly ignite in flame as the lights cut out. Isabeau suddenly appears without warning accompanied by Minou. As Charles stammers and crawls away from her, he begs [[Tart]] to save him and demands she kill the queen. At his word Tart rushes forward and stabs her sword straight through the queen's heart as she stands there. Charles initially laughs at this display, but the queen smiles as a white miasma escapes from the queen's wound and she merely stands there smiling. Tart leaps back, certain she had injured the queen but thinking to herself that it didn't feel like she had stabbed her. [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]] summons her shadowy tendrils and ties the queen up as [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]] and [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] both swing their weapons directly at her. Isabeau merely smiles more broadly, completely unharmed from both their attacks. She raises her finger and shoots a beam of magical energy at the two girls, causing them to be knocked away hard. As Minou knocks Riz away with her whip, Tart unleashes her “La Lumiere” attack on Isabeau. However Isabeau remains completely unharmed. As Minou begins to admonish Charles, Isabeau faints, prompting Minou to catch her in her arms. Isabeau whispers to Minou, who declares to all that in one year’s time death shall befall Tart. Minou and Isabeau leave through Minou’s portal as Charles cries and the magical girls tend to their wounds. From here on, the four magical girls travelled the lands of France for several months, possibly years in search of Isabeau’s stronghold in order to thwart her plan to spread grief seeds throughout France and allow them to hatch into witches. With the chaos brought on by these incidents, Isabeau planned to deliver these lands into the hands of the English army and their allies and thus bring the country under her influence.

Following the capture of Tart and her subsequent selling to her enemies in England, she is held capture in a prison tower in the town of Rouen near the border channel between England and France. Minou walks into the prison cell, followed by Isabeau and two maidens who hold the train of Isabeau's gown. Minou lashes at Tart and Kyubey with her whip, mocking them and accusing them of being the source of their troubles. Before she can continue to torture them, a large booming noise rings out causing the walls to shake. A soldier opens the door to the cell, informing Minou of reports of a French attack. She orders him to get rid of them, but the soldier informs her that it was a larger assault than they had expected since it seems there is a concerted effort throughout France to recapture Tart. She apologizes to Queen Isabeau for the disturbance and vows to go forth herself to handle this trouble. As Minou deals with the French forces outside, Elisa and Melissa fight their way towards her prison cell, disarming soldiers and sentries along the way.

Isabeau makes her way outside, Minou humbling herself before her. Isabeau waves her hands before her which causes the troops to collapse to their knees, their strength being sucked out from them. As she aims her hand forward, a magic circle having formed around it, Tart stabs a standard into the ground before her and blocks her next move. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart, but Elisa and Melissa hold them off so Tart can race in towards Isabeau. Once more her sword attacks seem to have no effect on the queen. Isabeau raises her hands once more and fires a beam of magic directly at her. As the dust settles, Tart looks up from behind her shield to find that [[Pernelle]] has blocked the attack with her own magic circle, explaining to Tart that Isabeau is immune to attacks due to someone else’s wish.

Kyubey and Pernelle explain to Tart that Isabeau is now part magical girl, part witch, and part incubator thanks to her and Lapine’s wish. Minou declares to all that she wished for Isabeau to be undefeated by any magical girl. Isabeau transforms into her witch state as the empty shell of her human body sits cradled in an enormous hand jutting from the ground nearby. As Tart, Elisa and Melissa continues the struggle against the witch Crepuscule de la Reine (Twilight of the Queen), all of their attacks having no effect on the witch. Tart’s soul gem grows black with impurities as she reaches her limit, when she suddenly hears the voice of Riz reminding her of her sword training back in her home village. From before Tart, Riz's soul gem materializes from a shadow as Riz tells her that her final vow was for her soul to remain with her from that day forward. Even if Riz's body was lost, her soul remained behind like her shadow, always by Tart's side. Tart’s gauntlet turns black with Riz’s soul gem encased on the back. As Tart’s soul gem crackles with impurities, she slashes her sword down and successfully injures the witch. Due to Riz’s wish, Tart’s soul gem has been prevented from transforming into a grief seed, making her more than just a magical girl. Before Tart can finish her off, Isabea's body begins to shake as a larger body emerges from underneath, a second larger witch form that causes the cathedral to crumble under the size and might of this new body as everyone gazes up in terror at the true form of Crepuscule de la Reine. However, Tart remains determined as ever as she faces down her foe. Isabeau begins to charge her cannon and aims it at Tart who immediately summons her standard and smashes through the center of it, causing the cannon to crumble. As Isabeau flies above the ruined cathedral, Tart summons a massive magic circle in the sky above her in an attack known as the Gate of Heaven. The center of the circle slides open like a gateway as crosses of light pierce Isabeau and hold her in place. Tart leaps up and swings her weapon down at the witch, slicing the massive body in half and then half again. As the pieces of the witch's corpse fall back to earth, the gate closes and disappears. Tart's shadowy gauntlet also begins to dissipate as Riz's soul gem crumbles. Tart thanks Riz for protecting her until the very end.

Isabeau de Baviere was reviled throughout the land as the woman who sold out her country. When she met her end in 1435, her funeral service was so quiet and subdued, you wouldn't have thought it was for a former queen.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of dominion. Its form is Queen’s Twilight. The master of this emotion seeks dominion and influence ad infinitum, for as long as she exists. The curses scattered by this Doppel are themselves a death-bringing darkness to all other humans, and if bathed in these curses, those without a resistance to them will instantly vanish from existence. The joy its master derives from this sight is synonymous with purification to her. The more her surroundings are stained with despair and darkness, the brighter her Soul Gem’s rhapsodic light shines.

Because of her wish, Isabeau gained the same abilities and knowledge as Kyubey, making her partly an Incubator, magical girl, and ultimately a Witch.
She could form contracts with magical girls and grant their wishes, and her body also couldn't be permanently destroyed. But her power was limited as she was unable to fully comprehend her abilities and knowledge, and despite becoming everything an Incubator was she still became a Witch. According to Kyubey, the reasons for this was because transformation from magical girl to Witch only happens to other lifeforms and not Incubators (this is possibly because Isabeau still had a soul and emotions, the necessary element for witchification to occur, which Incubators don't have.)

When she became a Witch, her labyrinth encased all of France, allowing Witches to be seen by humans. Any girl who contracted with Isabeau after that lost their wills and souls, and Kyubey notes that this prevented his race from collecting the energy made by those magical girls when they became Witches. When she died, her magic and the contracts created with it also disappeared, causing Minou to become a normal girl again as Isabeau was an imperfect creator.

Due to the wishes to Minou and Lapine, Isabeau also became a Witch in a human shell and couldn't be defeated by any ordinary magical girl with the exception of Tart. Any magical girls who tried to fight her would have their attacks go right through her, leaving her completely unharmed.

While in her human guise, she possesses the ability to cause those around her to spontaneously combust.
|}

==Observations==
* Out of all the witches that appear in Tart Magica, Isabeau's and Lapine's witches are the only ones that are named.
* Her witch name is French and translates to, "Twilight of the Queen".

==Etymology==
"Isabeau" is a name of Hebrew origin meaning "God's promise". It is a French variant of the name "Elisabeth", Isabeau's baptismal name.
Bavière is the French form of Bavaria, a state in Germany.

==Trivia==
*Her ability to cause spontaneous combustion is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Bal_des_Ardents|Bal des Ardents]] ("Ball of the Burning Men"), a ball Isabeau of Bavaria held to entertain her husband, Charles VI, who had suffered an attack of insanity the year prior. During the ball, several dancers were killed by a fire caused by a torch brought by Charles' brother; Charles and one other dancer survived. The incident undermined faith in Charles' ability to rule.
*Isabeau's Magical Girl form bears many similarities to Kyubey: the jewels on her shoulders resemble his eyes, she has cat ears on her head, her veil resemble's Kyubey's earflaps while her bracelets resemble the rings, and she is surrounded by the [[:File:Vlcsnap-2022-03-18-13h24m19s827.png|same monitoring system]] Kyubey uses in [[Rebellion]].
*Her name has the same meaning as [[Elisa Celjska]]'s first name and [[Liz Hawkwood]]'s first name.
*Both [[Ui Tamaki]] and Isabeau wished for some if not all of the abilities of Kyubey. Isabeau's Witch form resembles a butterfly while Ui's Witch form resembles a moth.
* The real-world [[wikipedia:Isabeau of Bavaria|Isabeau of Bavaria]] and [[wikipedia:Elizabeth of Luxembourg|Elizabeth of Luxembourg]] were fourth cousins through [[wikipedia:Rudolf I of Germany|Rudolf I of Germany]]. This is not the case in Tart Magica, as Elisa is not descended from [[wikipedia:Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Sigismund]].
**However, she is related to Elisa through [[wikipedia:Barbara of Cilli|Barbara Celjská]], being descendants of [[wikipedia:Stephen V of Hungary|Stephen V of Hungary]] and [[wikipedia:Elizabeth the Cuman|Elizabeth the Cuman]].

==Story==
===Backstory===
In 1385, at the young age of fourteen, Isabeau was sent to France to wed the king. Due to the timing of her arrival and coronation, in the thick of the Hundred Years' War, much of the people of France pitied the young queen, who was in the heart of the turmoil. However Isabel used her beauty and charm to her ends and woo all the people around her. One day as the king was attending a ball organized by Isabeau to celebrate the marriage of one of her ladies-in-waiting, without warning the guests suddenly ignited and the flames spread throughout the room. While the king remained unharmed, his psyche was so scarred and his nerves so frayed that he was no longer fit to rule. The next incident occurred when the king’s younger brother, Louis I, duke of Orleans was assassinated in the streets of Paris by the king’s nephew, John of Burgundy, following a visit to Isabeau’s home. John of Burgundy was himself later assassinated in a plan orchestrated by Isabeau’s own son, the Dauphin Charles. Soon Isabeau was the only one with any real power in the regency and it was she, acting on behalf of her husband, who signed the treaty with England that ceded the right to inherit the throne of France to the offspring of the English King. Even though the Dauphin was the son of the king and the rightful heir to the throne, a condition of the treaty stated that the king of France would offer his daughter to the King of England to wed and their offspring would be the next king. This offspring would therefore be the king of both England and France, allowing Isabeau to wield her influence over both countries. In the end, Isabeau came to be known as "The woman who swore France away."

Because of her wish, Isabeau gained the same abilities and knowledge as Kyubey, making her partly an Incubator, magical girl, and ultimately a Witch.
She could form contracts with magical girls and grant their wishes, and her body also couldn't be permanently destroyed. But her power was limited as she was unable to fully comprehend her abilities and knowledge, and despite becoming everything an Incubator was she still became a Witch. According to Kyubey, the reasons for this was because transformation from magical girl to Witch only happens to other lifeforms and not Incubators (this is possibly because Isabeau still had a soul and emotions, the necessary element for witchification to occur, which Incubators don't have.)

When she became a Witch, her labyrinth encased all of France, allowing Witches to be seen by humans. Any girl who contracted with Isabeau after that lost their wills and souls, and Kyubey notes that this prevented his race from collecting the energy made by those magical girls when they became Witches. When she died, her magic and the contracts created with it also disappeared, causing Minou to become a normal girl again as Isabeau was an imperfect creator.

Due to the wishes to Minou and Lapine, Isabeau also became a Witch in a human shell and couldn't be defeated by any ordinary magical girl with the exception of Tart. Any magical girls who tried to fight her would have their attacks go right through her, leaving her completely unharmed.

While in her human guise, she possesses the ability to cause those around her to spontaneously combust.
|}

==Observations==
* Out of all the witches that appear in Tart Magica, Isabeau's and Lapine's witches are the only ones that are named.
* Her witch name is French and translates to, "Twilight of the Queen".

==Etymology==
"Isabeau" is a name of Hebrew origin meaning "God's promise". It is a French variant of the name "Elisabeth", Isabeau's baptismal name.
Bavière is the French form of Bavaria, a state in Germany.

==Trivia==
*Her ability to cause spontaneous combustion is a reference to the [[wikipedia:Bal_des_Ardents|Bal des Ardents]] ("Ball of the Burning Men"), a ball Isabeau of Bavaria held to entertain her husband, Charles VI, who had suffered an attack of insanity the year prior. During the ball, several dancers were killed by a fire caused by a torch brought by Charles' brother; Charles and one other dancer survived. The incident undermined faith in Charles' ability to rule.
*Isabeau's Magical Girl form bears many similarities to Kyubey: the jewels on her shoulders resemble his eyes, she has cat ears on her head, her veil resemble's Kyubey's earflaps while her bracelets resemble the rings, and she is surrounded by the [[:File:Vlcsnap-2022-03-18-13h24m19s827.png|same monitoring system]] Kyubey uses in [[Rebellion]].
*Her name has the same meaning as [[Elisa Celjska]]'s first name and [[Liz Hawkwood]]'s first name.
*Both [[Ui Tamaki]] and Isabeau wished for some if not all of the abilities of Kyubey. Isabeau's Witch form resembles a butterfly while Ui's Witch form resembles a moth.

== "Eliza" vs. "Elisa" ==

So, as we know, her name is "Elisa". However, the katakana spells it "Eliza". Since its a minor change and not like "Arina Gurei" for Alina Gray (which I see the meaning behind now. I wasn't getting it before), could I ask the reasoning behind removing the "Eliza Celjska" part of the nihongo template? [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 05:02, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
: My reasoning for removing the nihongo template (and I'm going to do a pass to make this consistent) is that the name is not Japanese in origin. For example, in the case of Elisa it's a Slovene name. Isabeau, Tart, and Melissa obviously have French names. I'm not entirely sure of the language origin of Liz's name, but it is most likely either English or Italian. Similarly, Alina's and Ashley's names are clearly not of Japanese origin. Ashley's is clearly English. I'm not sure of Alina, but I'd guess possibly German or Italian. (The latter fits with how the official translation had her use gratuitous Italian instead of gratuitous English, so I guess it's the best guess.) What they all have in common is that the original (Japanese) author took a non-Japanese name and converted it into katakana so that Japanese readers could roughly understand how it's pronounced. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 06:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
:: Also, a note on the sa / za discrepancy – it's very unclear whether the correct sound in her name is actually an S or a Z. Tart Magica uses the Slovene spelling, "Elisa Celjska", but I can't find a reference for that on Wikipedia at all. Her name in Hungarian (after she marries the king of Hungary) is Luxemburgi Erzsébet (apparently Hungary, like Japan, puts the surname first). This represents neither an S nor a Z, but rather the sound of the S in "Asia". However, that's somewhat weak evidence since it's not the country of her birth. In English she is usually named Elizabeth of Luxembourg, which seems to suggest a Z would be correct, but again that's not the country of her birth. I can't find anything on Wikipedia to support which pronunciation is more correct, but… it's ''entirely'' possible that the English translators did their research and corrected a minor error in the original work. It's ''also'' entirely possible that the English translators ''didn't'' do enough research and made a mistake. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 06:04, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

==Story==
===Backstory===
The illegitimate daughter of the Holy Roman Empress and a member of the [[wikipedia:Order_of_the_Dragon|Order of the Dragon]]. Despite being hidden since birth, the Emperor found out about Elisa and exiled both her and her mother from court. Only her Uncle Oswald would have anything to do with her until the day Pernelle and Kyubey came into her life. It was then she made her wish and both her and her mother were forgiven and called back to court. Despite this, Elisa could never shake the feeling that one day she would be thought of as a burden. That is when she began to use her powers for the good of her country, the Emperor and her mother, working herself as hard as she could all in the hopes of being accepted.

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Elisa is first seen in a flash-forward in Chapter 1, where she urges Tart and the others to hurry and get ready as they head out to save France. Upon arriving in a nearby village, they are met by [[Minou]], who is protected by her servant [[Lame]]. Lame is transformed into a witch by Minou, who escapes from one of her portals. The girls then make short work of the witch, ending the flash-forward.

In Chapter 3, Elisa is witness to the large glow of light that envelopes all of France when Tart makes her contract.

Elisa would not reappear in the story until Chapter 10, when she defeats the witch form of [[Flèche]] from afar with the use of her rifle. Soon after, Elisa and her Uncle Oswald meet with Arthur de Richemont and talk about their possible involvement in the Hundred Year War. As [[Tart]], [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]], and [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] arrive at the town of Loches, they speak with the Dauphin Charles who has already heard of their exploits at Orleans courtesy of Elisa. She introduces herself to the girls, telepathically informing them of her involvement in destroying the witch form of Flèche. Out loud she informs everyone they were sent to verify if Tart’s powers were real and if so, they were to lend all possible aid to the Dauphin Charles. Having seen her abilities at Orleans, they pledge themselves in assisting him to claim his rightful place at the throne, despite the suspicions of the Chamberlain. Oswald assures the Chamberlain that theirs is not merely a token symbol of help since Lord Richemont is on his way with several thousand soldiers as well. Afterwards, Elisa challenges Tart to a friendly sparring match in order to test out Tart’s fighting ability for herself. Despite Tart’s overwhelming power, Elisa’s experience in fighting allows her to take the advantage and she is able to disarm Tart. She had assumed the rumors about Tart’s power were exaggerated and expressed disappointment in their match. Angered, Melissa challenges Elisa to a sparring match and proceeds to grab her by the cuff of her cape and throw her high and far into the sky until she is nothing more than a speck. Later that day Elisa sits pouting in her room as her Uncle Oswald and Melissa arrive. Melissa apologizes for letting her temper get the better of her. They ask her what Tart is doing, and Melissa informs them she is in a strategy meeting with the Dauphin. Elisa insists she be escorted to court at once, before she is reminded she is still in her dressing gown. Charles is prompted by the sudden appearance of his son to go to Reims under the guidance of Tart in order to be crowned King of France. The Chamberlain notes that Oswald and Elisa are well acquainted with the wife of Charles.

Several months later at the city of Patay, Minou, [[Corbeau]] and [[Lapine]] stand at the head of the English forces as Lapine relishes the idea of ‘playing’ with the French forces opposing them. Before Minou can say anything, Lapine had already began her attack on Tart, Riz, Melissa, and Elisa. Unfortunately, the four magical girls are able to deflect most of Lapine’s initial attacks, hitting her with their weapons several times and causing Lapine’s soul gem to darken. Her soul gem transforms into a grief seed and hatches Lapine’s witch form. After transforming, Lapine activates her ability to possess any and all weapons in her vicinity, including that of her English allies (with the exception of Tart and Elisa as their weapons have magical abilities imparted on them by [[Pernelle]]. She telepathically causes them to fly at her enemies and damaging them. She even forms a towering sword-like shape composed of the weapons she’s amassed and drops it at the opposing magical girls. Tart is able to deflect this massive attack on her friends even as Lapine activates her secondary ability: the ability to cause magical girls to lose their magical girl state temporarily. As Lapine in her witch form continues to battle the magical girls, Corbeau takes this opportunity to continue her fight with Riz earlier.
Elisa and Tart attempt to coordinate a surprise attack on Lapine, but the eyes on her cape have the same ability as her rabbit eyes and they both revert to normal girls temporarily. Despite this, the two girls are eventually able to distract Lapine and successfully defeat her with Elisa’s rifle-turned-canon. However, her defeat only causes her to revert back into a magical girl, owing to the nature of her wish and the abilities it granted her. Minou retreats with an unconscious Lapine into one of her portals as Corbeau unleashes her Danse Macabre. Reaper-like skeletons fly out of the magic circles Corbeau summoned, black feathers flying out from their eyeless sockets. Everyone begins to double over in pain, wondering what's happening to their bodies. Riz looks at the tumor-like boils on her hands and recognizes it as something she's seen before: bubonic plague. Corbeau laughs and reminds Riz she told her this fight would be a massacre and tells them all to show her the dance of death. As both the French and English forces alike lay doubled in agony, Corbeau beats down the weakened magical girls. Tart, despite initially struggling to her feet, is able to summon a magic circle in the sky that cures both the English and French alike of their plague and wounds with her magic. Corbeau is enraged by this and as she demands to know who Tart really is, Tart leaps up and slashed down her sword with full force at Corbeau, ultimately defeating her as the force of it knocks her into some nearby woods.

As Tart, Riz, Melissa, and Elisa convene in the woods following the defeat of Corbeau, they are met by Pernelle who congratulates them on a French victory. Pernelle introduces herself to the group and asks how Elisa has been doing since she ran off to meet with Tart. Elisa for her part doesn’t trust Kyubey (or alchemists for that matter). At this point it is revealed that Pernelle created both the sword that Tart wields as well as the magic rifle of Elisa. She also tells them of a prophesy that has been spreading throughout France and attributes their victory to this prophecy. Elisa stomps her foot down and calls prophecies garbage, refusing to attribute their hard-won battles to something like that. She accuses Pernelle of spreading the rumor herself as Pernelle counters that no one wins an entire battle on their own. Tart agrees with Elisa, claiming she's not the only one fighting to save France: Riz, Melissa and Elisa, as well as every French soldier out there are also fighting for their homeland. Pernelle teleports away, warning them of the possible dangers on their journey.

During the celebration of the coronation of the Dauphin Charles, [[Isabeau]] and Minou appeared. Despite Elisa and Melissa hitting her directly with their weapons, Isabeau remained unharmed and was able to knock them away with a beam of magical energy. After even Tart and Riz are unable to harm the queen, Isabeau faints and has Minou declare to all present that Tart will die in one year’s time.

After several months of searching, the four magical girls are able to locate a witch’s barrier and enter it, finding Minou inside waiting for them. She summons an army of magical girls from her many portals and immediately brands them with her magical branding iron. The girls fall into deep despair and are instantly transformed into witches, which Minou unleashes on the unsuspecting heroines. Tart is prepared to summon all of her strength and defeat the army of witches alone but Elisa warns her to save her energy as she continues to take out witches one after the other with the use of her rifle. Minou watches the battle rage on and decides that the army of witches won’t be enough to stop them and calls her sister Lapine into battle. Riz takes on Lapine singlehanded as she realizes that Lapine has little experience in actual combat. Riz is unable to shatter Lapine’s soul gem before she transforms into her witch form. Elisa continues to fight off the horde of witches as Melissa attempts to destroy Lapine with her anti-matter magic. However, this only serves to change her back into her magical girl form. Minou then summons a portal beneath Melissa and Elisa and transports them to a different part of the barrier. Minou appears and summons a second army of magical girls that she proceeds to brand and cause them to transform into witches. The two girls begin to fight off the witches, Elisa firing her gun as Melissa swings her polearm. As Melissa is about to be hit by an octopus-like witch from behind, Elisa calls out to her and knocks her to one side, taking the brunt of the hit herself. Melissa cradles Elisa in her arm and with the other, she swings her polearm and makes short work of the witch. As she holds Elisa up, she notices blood on her hands and realizes Elisa is bleeding badly. She asks why Elisa would do such a thing, and Elisa responds that if anything were to happen to Melissa it would make Tart cry her eyes out. Elisa sways a moment as Melissa insists that all of them would be grief-stricken if anything were to happen to Elisa since the four of them are partners and can't lose even a single one of them. Elisa smiles to herself and admits it's true. The two turn to face the oncoming horde of witches and agree to break through the throng so they can meet back up with Tart and Riz. After the defeat of Lapine {{spoiler|and subsequent death of Riz}}, the barrier dissipates and Tart is left alone, surrounded by a small army of soldiers who capture her for the English.

Sometime later, Elisa, Melissa, and Pernelle are able to break into the prison tower were Tart is being held captive by Minou and Isabeau. As an army of French soldiers attack the tower as a means of distraction, Elisa and Melissa make their way to Tart’s prison cell. There, Elisa tells Tart of her past and convinces her to continue fighting onward, for the sake of all the people who love her and are risking their lives to free her from this prison. As Tart vows to bring light to France, Melissa vows to go forth so that she can support Tart. Elisa vows to go for glory, not only for herself but for Tart as well.

At this point, Isabeau steps out from the prison tower and proceeds to use her magic to cause soldiers to collapse, sapped of their strength. Tart appears and stands proudly at the head of the troops, vowing to stand and fight alongside those who were kind enough to come to her rescue despite being called a heretic. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart before she can get near Isabeau. But Melissa and Elisa have joined the fray and take on the other magical girls, allowing Tart to race in towards Isabeau. Isabeau transforms into her witch state and attacks the girls. Elisa steadies her rifle and aims a shot at one of the caterpillar appendages, but it too does no damage despite hitting the creature squarely in the face. Elisa and Melissa can only watch as Tart battles with the witch {{spoiler|and ultimately defeats her. Melissa and Elisa race over to Tart, overjoyed that the battle is finally over and their greatest enemy defeated. But Tart faints, weak from the overexertion her soul gem has taken due to the battle. The grief seed Pernelle hands her does nothing as Tart’s soul gem has corrupted beyond repair. Melissa and Elisa prepare themselves to defend Tart as Minou threatens to kill them herself no matter what may happen when suddenly Minou’s soul gem shatters and she becomes an ordinary girl. Tart offers herself as a prisoner on the condition that the soldiers are allowed to go free and Minou agrees, despite the pleas of Melissa. }}

It is May 30, 1431 and both Melissa and Elisa are hurrying to the public square, racing against the clock despite their wounds not fully recovered. Amidst the throng of people, Tart stands tied to a wooden stake, her hair cropped short as she wears a simple white tunic. She looks up at the sky and holds her hands clasped in front of her despite her rope bonds. Melissa and Elisa push their way to the front of the crowds as a soldier lights the pile of kindle at Tart's feet with his torch. Elisa asks if there aren't any more wishes she would like to see fulfilled while she still lives, or if there are any regrets she'd like to correct. Tart tells them of a dream she had and thanks the girls for being there with her. Pernelle, Melissa and Elisa pray for their holy lady, La Pucelle as the flames begin to consume Tart.

Melissa sits on the back of Elisa's horse as the two girls quietly walk down a broad country field. Elisa asks if Tart left her life holding no grudges or regrets. Melissa knows they understood her last words and that there was no despair in her final prayer. Elisa agrees and comments that Tart was betrayed and lost hope at times, but kept fighting even when suffering near-mortal wounds. But those wounds were also proof of the battle she survived and the life she made it through. Even if both girls may become witches someday, they both agree to visit the village in which Tart grew up in.

==Powers and Abilities==

{{stub}}

==Observations==
Elisa is rather proud, seeing as she is the daughter of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. She's also a member of the Order of the Dragon, a high-ranking group that follows the command of the emperor. She often prefers to do things with a flourish, such as insisting on introducing herself to Tart in lieu of allowing the Dauphin Charles to do so (and twirling around in order to flourish her cape with the Order of the Dragon Crest embroidered on it). After meeting Tart, she insisted on sparring with her in order to gauge her abilities. After defeating Tart somewhat easily, Melissa became enraged and challenged Elisa to spar as well at which point Melissa grabs Elisa by the cuff of her shirt and throws her far and into the air. Afterwards, Elisa can be seen sulking in her room after her defeat.

==Etymology==
According to her introduction, Elisa calls herself the daughter of [[wikipedia:Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund]] and [[wikipedia:Barbara of Cilli|Barbara Celjská]]. This implies that she is based off of [[wikipedia:Elizabeth of Luxembourg|the real-world Elizabeth of Luxembourg]].
*Elisa is an abbreviation of "Elisabeth", a name with Hebrew origins meaning "God's promise".
*Celjska means "of Celje". [[wikipedia:Celje|Celje]] is a region in Slovenia, sometimes also known as Cilli, which was the birthplace of Elisa's mother.

==Trivia==
* The official English translation has her name spelled "Elisa", however the katakana shows it spelled ''za'' rather than ''sa''.
* Her witch/doppel name is german for 'A Red Dragon'. A red dragon is also prominently featured in the Bible book of Revelation as being representative of the Devil.
* Her, [[Liz]]'s, and [[Isabeau de Bavière]]'s first name all have the same meaning.
* The real-world [[wikipedia:Elizabeth of Luxembourg|Elizabeth of Luxembourg]] and [[wikipedia:Isabeau of Bavaria|Isabeau of Bavaria]] were fourth cousins through [[wikipedia:Rudolf I of Germany|Rudolf I of Germany]]. This is not the case in Tart Magica, as Elisa is not descended from [[wikipedia:Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Sigismund]].
**However, she is related to Isabeau through [[wikipedia:Barbara of Cilli|Barbara Celjská]], being descendants of [[wikipedia:Stephen V of Hungary|Stephen V of Hungary]] and [[wikipedia:Elizabeth the Cuman|Elizabeth the Cuman]].

She telepathically causes them to fly at her enemies and damaging them. She even forms a towering sword-like shape composed of the weapons she’s amassed and drops it at the opposing magical girls. Tart is able to deflect this massive attack on her friends even as Lapine activates her secondary ability: the ability to cause magical girls to lose their magical girl state temporarily. As Lapine in her witch form continues to battle the magical girls, Corbeau takes this opportunity to continue her fight with Riz earlier.
Elisa and Tart attempt to coordinate a surprise attack on Lapine, but the eyes on her cape have the same ability as her rabbit eyes and they both revert to normal girls temporarily. Despite this, the two girls are eventually able to distract Lapine and successfully defeat her with Elisa’s rifle-turned-canon. However, her defeat only causes her to revert back into a magical girl, owing to the nature of her wish and the abilities it granted her. Minou retreats with an unconscious Lapine into one of her portals as Corbeau unleashes her Danse Macabre. Reaper-like skeletons fly out of the magic circles Corbeau summoned, black feathers flying out from their eyeless sockets. Everyone begins to double over in pain, wondering what's happening to their bodies. Riz looks at the tumor-like boils on her hands and recognizes it as something she's seen before: bubonic plague. Corbeau laughs and reminds Riz she told her this fight would be a massacre and tells them all to show her the dance of death. As both the French and English forces alike lay doubled in agony, Corbeau beats down the weakened magical girls. Tart, despite initially struggling to her feet, is able to summon a magic circle in the sky that cures both the English and French alike of their plague and wounds with her magic. Corbeau is enraged by this and as she demands to know who Tart really is, Tart leaps up and slashed down her sword with full force at Corbeau, ultimately defeating her as the force of it knocks her into some nearby woods.

As Tart, Riz, Melissa, and Elisa convene in the woods following the defeat of Corbeau, they are met by Pernelle who congratulates them on a French victory. Pernelle introduces herself to the group and asks how Elisa has been doing since she ran off to meet with Tart. Elisa for her part doesn’t trust Kyubey (or alchemists for that matter). At this point it is revealed that Pernelle created both the sword that Tart wields as well as the magic rifle of Elisa. She also tells them of a prophesy that has been spreading throughout France and attributes their victory to this prophecy. Elisa stomps her foot down and calls prophecies garbage, refusing to attribute their hard-won battles to something like that. She accuses Pernelle of spreading the rumor herself as Pernelle counters that no one wins an entire battle on their own. Tart agrees with Elisa, claiming she's not the only one fighting to save France: Riz, Melissa and Elisa, as well as every French soldier out there are also fighting for their homeland. Pernelle teleports away, warning them of the possible dangers on their journey.

During the celebration of the coronation of the Dauphin Charles, [[Isabeau]] and Minou appeared. Despite Elisa and Melissa hitting her directly with their weapons, Isabeau remained unharmed and was able to knock them away with a beam of magical energy. After even Tart and Riz are unable to harm the queen, Isabeau faints and has Minou declare to all present that Tart will die in one year’s time.

After several months of searching, the four magical girls are able to locate a witch’s barrier and enter it, finding Minou inside waiting for them. She summons an army of magical girls from her many portals and immediately brands them with her magical branding iron. The girls fall into deep despair and are instantly transformed into witches, which Minou unleashes on the unsuspecting heroines. Tart is prepared to summon all of her strength and defeat the army of witches alone but Elisa warns her to save her energy as she continues to take out witches one after the other with the use of her rifle. Minou watches the battle rage on and decides that the army of witches won’t be enough to stop them and calls her sister Lapine into battle. Riz takes on Lapine singlehanded as she realizes that Lapine has little experience in actual combat. Riz is unable to shatter Lapine’s soul gem before she transforms into her witch form. Elisa continues to fight off the horde of witches as Melissa attempts to destroy Lapine with her anti-matter magic. However, this only serves to change her back into her magical girl form. Minou then summons a portal beneath Melissa and Elisa and transports them to a different part of the barrier. Minou appears and summons a second army of magical girls that she proceeds to brand and cause them to transform into witches. The two girls begin to fight off the witches, Elisa firing her gun as Melissa swings her polearm. As Melissa is about to be hit by an octopus-like witch from behind, Elisa calls out to her and knocks her to one side, taking the brunt of the hit herself. Melissa cradles Elisa in her arm and with the other, she swings her polearm and makes short work of the witch. As she holds Elisa up, she notices blood on her hands and realizes Elisa is bleeding badly. She asks why Elisa would do such a thing, and Elisa responds that if anything were to happen to Melissa it would make Tart cry her eyes out. Elisa sways a moment as Melissa insists that all of them would be grief-stricken if anything were to happen to Elisa since the four of them are partners and can't lose even a single one of them. Elisa smiles to herself and admits it's true. The two turn to face the oncoming horde of witches and agree to break through the throng so they can meet back up with Tart and Riz. After the defeat of Lapine {{spoiler|and subsequent death of Riz}}, the barrier dissipates and Tart is left alone, surrounded by a small army of soldiers who capture her for the English.

Sometime later, Elisa, Melissa, and Pernelle are able to break into the prison tower were Tart is being held captive by Minou and Isabeau. As an army of French soldiers attack the tower as a means of distraction, Elisa and Melissa make their way to Tart’s prison cell. There, Elisa tells Tart of her past and convinces her to continue fighting onward, for the sake of all the people who love her and are risking their lives to free her from this prison. As Tart vows to bring light to France, Melissa vows to go forth so that she can support Tart. Elisa vows to go for glory, not only for herself but for Tart as well.

At this point, Isabeau steps out from the prison tower and proceeds to use her magic to cause soldiers to collapse, sapped of their strength. Tart appears and stands proudly at the head of the troops, vowing to stand and fight alongside those who were kind enough to come to her rescue despite being called a heretic. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart before she can get near Isabeau. But Melissa and Elisa have joined the fray and take on the other magical girls, allowing Tart to race in towards Isabeau. Isabeau transforms into her witch state and attacks the girls. Elisa steadies her rifle and aims a shot at one of the caterpillar appendages, but it too does no damage despite hitting the creature squarely in the face. Elisa and Melissa can only watch as Tart battles with the witch {{spoiler|and ultimately defeats her. Melissa and Elisa race over to Tart, overjoyed that the battle is finally over and their greatest enemy defeated. But Tart faints, weak from the overexertion her soul gem has taken due to the battle. The grief seed Pernelle hands her does nothing as Tart’s soul gem has corrupted beyond repair. Melissa and Elisa prepare themselves to defend Tart as Minou threatens to kill them herself no matter what may happen when suddenly Minou’s soul gem shatters and she becomes an ordinary girl. Tart offers herself as a prisoner on the condition that the soldiers are allowed to go free and Minou agrees, despite the pleas of Melissa. }}

It is May 30, 1431 and both Melissa and Elisa are hurrying to the public square, racing against the clock despite their wounds not fully recovered. Amidst the throng of people, Tart stands tied to a wooden stake, her hair cropped short as she wears a simple white tunic. She looks up at the sky and holds her hands clasped in front of her despite her rope bonds. Melissa and Elisa push their way to the front of the crowds as a soldier lights the pile of kindle at Tart's feet with his torch. Elisa asks if there aren't any more wishes she would like to see fulfilled while she still lives, or if there are any regrets she'd like to correct. Tart tells them of a dream she had and thanks the girls for being there with her. Pernelle, Melissa and Elisa pray for their holy lady, La Pucelle as the flames begin to consume Tart.

Melissa sits on the back of Elisa's horse as the two girls quietly walk down a broad country field. Elisa asks if Tart left her life holding no grudges or regrets. Melissa knows they understood her last words and that there was no despair in her final prayer. Elisa agrees and comments that Tart was betrayed and lost hope at times, but kept fighting even when suffering near-mortal wounds. But those wounds were also proof of the battle she survived and the life she made it through. Even if both girls may become witches someday, they both agree to visit the village in which Tart grew up in.

==Powers and Abilities==

{{stub}}

==Observations==
Elisa is rather proud, seeing as she is the daughter of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. She's also a member of the Order of the Dragon, a high-ranking group that follows the command of the emperor. She often prefers to do things with a flourish, such as insisting on introducing herself to Tart in lieu of allowing the Dauphin Charles to do so (and twirling around in order to flourish her cape with the Order of the Dragon Crest embroidered on it). After meeting Tart, she insisted on sparring with her in order to gauge her abilities. After defeating Tart somewhat easily, Melissa became enraged and challenged Elisa to spar as well at which point Melissa grabs Elisa by the cuff of her shirt and throws her far and into the air. Afterwards, Elisa can be seen sulking in her room after her defeat.

==Etymology==
According to her introduction, Elisa calls herself the daughter of [[wikipedia:Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund]] and [[wikipedia:Barbara of Cilli|Barbara Celjská]]. This implies that she is based off of [[wikipedia:Elizabeth of Luxembourg|the real-world Elizabeth of Luxembourg]].
*Elisa is an abbreviation of "Elisabeth", a name with Hebrew origins meaning "God's promise".
*Celjska means "of Celje". [[wikipedia:Celje|Celje]] is a region in Slovenia, sometimes also known as Cilli, which was the birthplace of Elisa's mother.

==Trivia==
* The official English translation has her name spelled "Elisa", however the katakana shows it spelled ''za'' rather than ''sa''.
* Her witch/doppel name is german for 'A Red Dragon'. A red dragon is also prominently featured in the Bible book of Revelation as being representative of the Devil.
* Her, [[Liz]]'s, and [[Isabeau de Bavière]]'s first name all have the same meaning.
* The real-world [[wikipedia:Elizabeth of Luxembourg|Elizabeth of Luxembourg]] and [[wikipedia:Isabeau of Bavaria|Isabeau of Bavaria]] were fourth cousins through [[wikipedia:Rudolf I of Germany|Rudolf I of Germany]]. However, as Elisa is not descended from [[wikipedia:Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Sigismund]], this is not the case in Tart Magica.
