- Started her career of art and fashion in 1940 (203 AC) in the Artist's Quarter
- Has been described as "a draconian perfectionist who was cold to her family"
- She started an Upscale fashion store, also named Isabella Levenay.
- The Levenay fashion label is one of high fashion and prestige in the City.
- Primary sales products include shoes, handbags, clothes, and a highly-regarded chain of retreat spas.
- Since her death, the company she founded has scandalously become the staging ground for internal family feuding.
- It is likely the company was shifting hands while Isabella was still alive
- puzzle card 139 suggests the family has been feuding "for several decades"
- The Levenay corporate empire is estimated to be worth PCL 7.2 billion.
- In mid-October The Levenay Company hired Ursa Hayden as a new designer, specializing in Earth-conceptualized fashions.
- Boutique house Flattery may have taken as much as 4% of the Levenay market share over the course of 268AC.
