Isabel Magnolia is one of Levi's closest companions, alongside Farlan Church. The trio got caught by Survey Corps Squad Leaders Erwin Smith and Mike Zacharias, which forced Levi into joining Erwin's division—Erwin basically used Isabel and Farlan as leverage to recruit him.
Despite her mysterious origins and the unknown circumstances around how she and her group acquired 3DMG equipment, Isabel proved to be a genuinely skilled user of the maneuver gear. She handles it with impressive calm and confidence, and fans often note her energetic personality matched her combat abilities pretty well.
What really stands out about her character is that defiant streak. When captured, she didn't go quietly—she kept fighting back against her captors. More importantly, she genuinely cared about her friends. Rather than let Levi take a beating, she gave up information to protect him, which says a lot about where her priorities were.
