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.

October, 1428 At noon, La Hire tells Melissa that the enlgish have taken full control of Orleans, telling her that all this happen 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 other place, Pernelle asks Kyubey if the girl he chooses 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 potencial as a Magical Girl, but he never could have guest what wish she would made... 1385: Northern France – Amiens Back in the present, Pernelle says that Isabeau also could read and write in latin, so she quickly become loved in Charles VI 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 foreing in France, she needed to make allies fast so she charmed all the court with a fake personality, since only a fool will fight with someone to make enemies. Pernelle guesses that was her way of masking her greedy and power hungry nature... 1385: France – Paris Back in the present, Pernelle questions Kyubey of how he couldn't see that the 14 year old Isabeau seemed to curious about witches and magical girls, and why he didn't see her as a threat, but Kyubey says he took the risk since the incubators thought that her energy was worth for making a contract, even with all the risks. Back in the flashback, Isabeau happily starts laughing making a big face and proceeds to kill Kyubey with a candelabra, at that moment another Kyubey appears asking why she did that if he 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, so with a big grimace she proceeds to hold Kyubey with her hands saying that he is magnificent and 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 obtained the unique ability to create magical girls like Kyubey, by sensing their karmic potential like he does. In addition she a large part of the Incubators other abilities, in addition to having great access to all the knowledge that Kyubey possesses, like the fact that thanks to this her body would be eternal and would have the the same appearance that when reaching her more mature young age. Isabeau doesn't really understand much of Kyubey's knowledge, because it is almost impossible for humans to understand as Kyubey explains, but Isabeau doesn't seem to care and adds that now that her body is immortal she can start creating his own army of magical girls, who will strengthen her with her wishes will 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 things that Isabeaus's powers are too powerful and she find it strange that Kyubey didn't feel that she was dangerous for him, but Kyubey says that no human will ever be capable of replacing the Incubators, since humans and 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 becuase her body became inmortal. 1385: France – Paris Isabeau proceeds to ask the servant what would happen if her husband could no longer rule France, to which the servant says that it is very difficult to say but the command will probably pass to Charles's brother, Louis I. Isabeau proceeds to ask the servant more questions about other members who could dispute 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 for her a 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, 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 began her plans using her maidservants 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 talks 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 begin trying to drive her husband crazy, causing him to have this visions while to attack Louis I. Kyubey appears in her room saying that it has been years since they saw each other. Kyubey tells her that she has turned several of his 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 in 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 for a long time those years that she has been a magical girl. Isabeau seems to ignore this and Kyubey asks her what she plans to do now and 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 1403: France – Paris 1404: France – Paris November 1407: France – Paris 1410 In her palace, Isabeau is questioned by Kyubey once again if everything is going according to her plan. Isabeau says that she wantsto 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 soon breaking 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 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 his youngest daughters into magical girls, saying that unlike all the other sons and daughters Isabeau had, she spends all his 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, adding that 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 that 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 responsable 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 illegimate son and caused problems with his throne succesion, 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 both France and England, but things didn't happen as she wanted them too... August 31, 1422 October 21, 1422 This is what set Isabeau into a state of dispair, as her ambitions would not become true. Kyubey says that in this moment happened what it 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 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 words of Pernelle, became a monster in the form of a human. Pernelle says that in that moment, Kyubey should have won like he always does, but something more happened... In a flashback is shown Isabeau turning into a witch in front of her three daughters while she is 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 holding her mother's body said to the witch that she too would become a magical girl too and made her wish: "I want my mother 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 is how she granted Lapin's wish, turning back to life Isabeau's body as a puppet for her witch form. Kyubey says tha'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 to him... October, 1428 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 he believes they might be close to find that girl. Pernelle says that the prophecy is something invented and he shouldn't believe it, but Kyubey insists that is people's believe can increase the karmic potencial 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 might be a problem, still Pernelle wants to save human kind. Kyubey asks her what are her plans, but she refuses to tell him, but she does think that her husband Nicolas, once told her about the importance of miracles and believe in the human heart. |
