family

Bella is the purest of purebloods. Her father was Cygnus Black and her mother was Druella Rosier, both purebloods from long lines as well as Slytherin Alumni and so rich they didn't have to work. She grew up with two sisters, Narcissa is one of maybe five that she will admit loving, and as far as Bellatrix is concerned Andromeda doesn't exist and is in no way related to her. She also has two brother-in-laws, only one that she claims, Lucius Malfoy (who she really isn't fond of), and there is also Ted Tonks (but he's a filthy mudblood and deserves no less than death in her opinion).

SISTER
Andromeda Black

Narcissa Black-Malfoy

magic

WAND ~*~ 12.75 inch, walnut, dragon heartstring

BOGGART ~*~ Chains. Bella fears becoming those she tortures. She fears going through what she puts them through. But above all Bella fears weakness. And to be locked away is to have shown a moment of weakness that was exploited.

PATRONUS ~*~ a Dementor (she fights fire with fire)

AMORTENTIA SMELLS LIKE ~*~ Blood & Chocolate

IN THE MIRROR OF ERISED ~*~ Herself grinning and covered in blood.

SPECIAL ABILITIES ~*~ Her specialty is the Cruciatus Curse. She's also particularly good at Occlumency.

appearance

BUILD/HEIGHT/WEIGHT ~*~ She's tall, 168 cm (5'6"), with wide shoulders, big hands, and a strong stance. Her curves, tits, hips/ass, etc are all rather average looking though. She weighs about 57 kg (127 lbs).

HAIR/EYES ~*~ Her hair is long, painfully straight, and jet black. All one length and extremely thin and light, but not at all bouncy. While her eyes are a very dark brown that almost looks black or crimson in the right light or lack there-of.

IDENTIFYING MARKS ~*~ Were it not for the near constant sneer on her face, Bellatrix would be considered lovely.

STYLE ~*~ Generally she wears a full skirt and a corset beneath her robes. Sometimes (around the house or when torturing) she drops the robe. Now and again (so rare only her husband and sister have seen it) she'll wear a lighter spring type dress.

personality

QUIRKS ~*~ stares off with a vacant expression when she's pondering. has to sleep with a warm body. alcoholic when she's angry/depressed/hurt. control-freak.

HOBBIES ~*~ torturing mudbloods/muggles. potions and a bit of alchemy.

PET PEEVES ~*~ mumbling. stuttering.

FIRST IMPRESSION ~*~ She comes off immediately as cold hearted and cruel. Most people find her a bitch upon first meeting. She also seems arrogant, and ignorant in her arrogance (as most people are). She seems like a mindless drone to Voldemort. All these are, at least, partially correct.

STRENGTHS ~*~ Bella holds fast to her beliefs. She is a strong fighter for whatever cause she stands behind. And she's eternally devoted to those she deems worthy of love. Narcissa and Voldemort are the only two worthy of that affection currently, but she shows them the ultimate in devotion.

WEAKNESSES ~*~ She's very closed minded. If something doesn't agree with her preconcieved notions, she won't even give it a chance. She's impulsive, too. Bella is a shoot first, ask questions later kind of girl. And her desire to be seen as an equal in the Death Eater circles keeps her from allowing even the tiniest feministic thought or action into her life. It's there, she just forces it away.

LIKES ~*~ Bella's preferences are very simple. She likes blood, gore, death, violence, and meat.

DISLIKES ~*~ She dislikes mudbloods and most fruits. It doesn't get much simpler than that.

MOTIVATIONS ~*~ Bella's motivations are pretty simple, too. She wants nothing more than to honor her family and uphold the beliefs of the Pureblood Supremists. Although it does get a little more complicated. Training with Voldemort for so long has left her open to be greatly influenced by him. She will do anything at all to please him, no holds barred.

FEARS ~*~ Fear is what Bella is afraid of. Fear and weakness. She hates them both and refuses to let them interfere with her life. Disgrace, dishonor, appearing weak, it all scares the hell out of her. She never lets it show, but its there if you scratch the surface... Of course, to scratch the surface you'd have to get close to her, and good luck on that one.

history

PRE-SHIP ~*~ The Black family has a long prestigious line. So it was no wonder that Cygnus and Druella were disappointed that their first-born was a girl. Little Bellatrix wouldn't be able to carry-on their name. Bella, however, was determined from birth to prove them wrong. She was a mean-spirited baby, kicking, biting, and throwing fits enough that the little time Druella actually spent with her daughter decreased significantly within the first year and a half of Bella's life. Druella was a society wife, she was well-bred and proper. She was a bit put off that her daughter was so disagreeable. Cygnus, however, young as he was, found it particularly amusing and spent all the time he could with his new baby girl. He might not have gotten the son he wanted, but it seemed that already Bellatrix was ready to prove that she could be just as good, if not better, than any son he might have had. And so for the first few years of her life, as an only child, Bellatrix was spoiled beyond what any normal child should be.

And then there was Andromeda. Bellatrix took an immediate dislike to the new baby. Despite abusing her mother, Bellatrix has no desire to share her with this new thing. And for about a year she tried to get rid of the baby. Attention, which Bella was certain was rightfully hers, was now going to this new child. Andromeda was so cute. And look at her little toes. And oh my goodness she just sat up. Or look at Andromeda walking. Bella was determined that the attention should come immediately back to her and was willing to do anything to get it. She started by merely asking if they could send the baby back. Or get rid of it. And when she kept getting told no, the toddler decided to take matters into her own hands. Bella started doing things like pushing her baby sister down the stairs, or covering her face with a pillow. And when she got in trouble for that, she just started being unusually mean. She took and broke Andromeda's things. When the baby got more attention than she did, Bellatrix would throw a fit. She would break things, throw things (even breaking her mother's nose once) and otherwise have a tantrum. Her magic started to surface at this time, an outward sign of how she was feeling inside, as if her tantrums weren't enough.

Narcissa's birth, however, was a completely different story. Bella had never loved anything before. She didn't even really love her parents. As a child, of course, there was the clinging to them and the need for them, but there wasn't truly love. Narcissa, however, was the climax of Bellatrix's five year old world. She was now accustomed to not being the only child and so her dislike remained on Andromeda and Narcissa received all of Bella's admiration. She spent much of their childhood taking care of Narcissa. If the other kids picked on her, they met with Bella's fists (or the end of whatever wand she could commandeer). If something wasn't going Narcissa's way, Bellatrix made threats and pushed people around until they fixed it. Bella's first act of murder was in defense of Narcissa, or something like it. A house-elf touched her sister's leg and Bellatrix took the carving knife out of the chicken, sliced off the beasts arm, and watched as it bled to death. After which she dropped the beasts body into a well in the Black family cemetery (located in the middle of a hedge maze in the back of the Black Estates) which soon became her usual burial ground.

Not long afterward, Bellatrix was introduced to both Sirius and Regulus. She disliked Regulus immediately, same as Andromeda. But in Sirius she found a partner in crime. As babies, Bella pretty much ignored both Sirius and Regulus. She spent long hours at 12 Grimmauld, learning all she could from her Aunt Walburga. However, by the time she was in school, Sirius had become someone she could teach her nasty tricks to. Frequently she cast spells on Andromeda, burned her sister's books, hid her favorite things, tortured and sometimes killed pets. And when the two of them had a chance to spend some time with Regulus, they often teased him to the point of tears. With him always following Sirius around, it was quite easy to lead him into the darkest, scariest parts of their properties. More than once Bella and Sirius dropped Regulus into the well that contained the decaying bodies of her victims.

Age sixteen gave Bellatrix her first kill. Her mother was determined that her wild and unruly daughter was going to be married in a proper pureblood marriage with a respectable family. Bellatrix was determined not to get married. She decided around age 13 when she started training with Tom Riddle, that she wouldn't marry. If she married, Bellatrix knew that all the respect she had earned would be shot to hell. So while her mother and his mother planned their fates, Bellatrix planned his murder. And before she entered her seventh year, Bella's betrothed was the first human body to be placed in her mass grave well. Tom was pleased with her and Bella was pleased with herself. From the start of their training together, Bellatrix had been pushed and tortured like she could have never dreamed. But she considered it a trade worth making. At the time, anyway, if she knew what was coming she might have reconsidered.

By the time Bella graduated, she had quite a reputation behind her. Mostly she was considered ruthless, cruel, and someone to avoid at all costs. Of course, part of her reputation had to do with the fact that she refused to marry as well. She spent most of her time doing Voldemort's work as well as trying to help Regulus become the heir that the Black family deserved.

POST-SHIP/REAL WORLD ~*~ The day after arriving on the ship, Bellatrix was due to meet with another suitor. She had planned, obviously, to do away with this one as easily as she had the others. But something was different about Rodolphus. She remembered him from school; she knew what kind of man he was and what circles he ran in. So she didn't kill him. She actually gave him a chance to pursue her, which he did with a gusto. And finally she gave in and decided to marry him. She wouldn't admit it for a long time, but Bellatrix had let herself fall in love. She was actually happy. However, years of training with Voldemort have left Bellatrix barren. The Lestrange line would not be carried on through her. It was something she and Rodolphus didn't speak of, both blaming themselves for their lack of a proper heir. Bella started to become even more ruthless and less affectionate toward her husband (which was saying something). She became more dedicated to the cause which had robbed her husband of an heir. And of course since she was young she has had ultimate faith in the Dark Lord. If anyone could even come close to how much she loves Rodolphus (though she rarely if ever shows it), it would have to be Voldemort. So her future was set as far as she was concerned.

Azkaban changed Bella much less than the others who'd been and escaped. She went in heartless and cruel and remained so, even after years of crying out in pain behind her cell walls. She could hear her husband on the other side. She could almost feel his breath if she reached her hand out far enough. But both Rodolphus and Rabastan were beyond her reach. Voldemort was still missing. And the only thing keeping Bella from completely losing her mind was Narcissa's monthly visits. However, that was a side that Bellatrix left locked in the prison when she escaped. Cruelty return to her face and her actions. Her emotions were once more subdued. And, if possible, she was even colder to those that she "loved"... perhaps as a protection to her own emotions were she to ever face that kind of torture again. However, Bella's main purpose was as it always had been: To serve Voldemort in every way she possibly could.

It was that purpose which eventually killed her. She spent the next few years on Voldemort's vendetta runs, and her own of course. She killed her "brother-in-law" Ted Tonks. She killed her "niece" Nymphadora. She killed one Weasley spawn, and as she went after the other, Molly came after her. She hadn't expected that out of Molly Weasley, but the woman said the Killing Curse and meant it. And Bellatrix fell dead right there, dying in battle like she had always expected.

storylines

To say that Bellatrix hates the ship would be like saying the ocean is wet. Bella was upset upon arriving to be faced with a teenage Tom Riddle, to hear of her imprisonment and death, and mostly to find out that she actually got married. Both Draco and Narcissa arrived and then disappeared within her first month or so on board. Andromeda, Bella found out, was displeased with her own future. Surprisingly the two have a lot in common and are working on mending their relationship. Recently Bella has been spending most of her time with Rodolphus in an attempt to figure out why she agreed to marry him in her future. And that was going fantastic until Walden showed up trying to lay claim on her as well (though in a purely physical and possessive way as opposed to Rodolphus' emotional possessive way). Instead of dealing with them, Bella has been getting drunk as well as getting to know her nephew Draco, her sister Narcissa as an adult and her great-nephew Scorpius who seems to want nothing to do with her. Meanwhile her mother, uncles, aunts, and grandparents have all shown up. And Bella wants as little to do with them as possible, except her Aunt Walburga.
