Trivia
- Maggy appeared in the original Binding of Isaac.
- Maggy's unlock requirements in Rebirth are the same in the original Binding of Isaac.
- Magdalene's name is a reference to Mary Magdalene, a female follower of Jesus who witnessed his death and ressurection.
- Magdalene's unlock requirement of having seven heart containers may be a reference to the "seven demons" that were driven out of Mary Magdalene.
- Magdalene is the name of Isaac’s mother Magdalene O. Moriah, or MOM. The last name Moriah is a reference to the biblical story of Isaac where the name Moriah is the name of the mountain Isaac was to be sacrificed on in the Book of Genesis.
- Edmund McMillen says Magdalene is the slowest character because she is 'chub chub', which could be a reference to Isaac's Mother being overweight. [1]
- In the game files, the image file for Maggy's hair is named maggiesbeautifulgoldenlocks.png.
- Maggy's hair appears to be identical to the wig that Isaac receives in one of his mid-floor nightmares.
- The person with gold hair in ending 14 and the Final ending has been confirmed to be Isaac wearing a wig, which furthers this idea.
- Another piece of evidence is that the four female playable characters all have Isaac's voice.
- Maggy's locked icon shows her bound in chains.
- She shares this with Cain, Samson, Eve, Lazarus, Bethany, and Jacob and Esau.
