ALSO KNOWN AS: Bella and what few nick names Rodolphus bestows upon her DATE OF BIRTH: November 17, 1951 BLOODLINE: Purest of purebloods –The Most Noble and Ancient House of Black, as well as a Lestrange by marriage. FORMER HOUSE: Slytherin (1967) AFFILIATION: In her first life it was Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters but in this life it is herself and her family. MARITAL STATUS: Married. SIGNIFICANT OTHER: Rodolphus Lestrange. PATRONUS: Snow Leopard. BOGGART: Rodolphus dead. It is the only thing in this world that could involuntarily bring her to her knees and crush her. STRENGTHS: Charms, the Dark Arts, Non-verbal magic, and Transfiguration. WEAKNESSES: Potions. She’s useless when it comes to making them. She doesn’t have the patience’s to stand around and wait for it to finish brewing. She likes her magic’s and spells to happen right away. WEIGHT: 125lbs HAIR COLOUR: A dark brown to a Black depending on how one wants to look at it. EYE COLOUR: Black. DISTINGUISHING MARKS: In her first life it had been the dark mark scorched onto the skin of her left fore arm but the fates have decided to be nice to her and have returned her mark free. She has a few small insignificant scars that she gained as a child but nothing worth noting. APPEARANCE: Bella has a very commanding presence. Aside from her dark features which cast a classic beauty around her she holds her self in such a way that demands people notice her and give her the respect that is due to her as one of the purest in their world. For the most part when in public she sticks to the classic styles of clothing. Nothing too flashy or showy, nothing that could label her as being anything but a proper pureblood. But when alone or out with Rodolphus she tends to lean towards the darker sides of fashions. Leather, corsets, short skirts, anything that can show off her body and her darker personality. She is proud of the way she looks and when with Rodolphus is not afraid to show it. HABITS: When nervous or panicked or deep in thought or bored Bella has a habit of pacing and talking to herself. The more worked up she gets the faster she paces and the louder she rants. It’s a habit that she picked up in Azkaban that never went away in her first life and one that has carried over into this life. But she assumes that most people would rather have her pacing and ranting then hexing and killing…even if she isn’t concerned with other people think of her. PERSONALITY: Bella has a wicked twisted sense of self. Dark Arts being the only thing she has known cruelty tends to be her specialty and it takes a special kind of person to understand her sense of humor. Pain brings her pleasure, especially other peoples pain. She has a quick tongue and even faster mind. After all when you grow up in the Black household you learn one of two things; either embrace the pain or it will destroy you. But that’s the personality she shows to the public, to those she doesn’t think worthy enough to truly know her. Others, like her husband and her sister know differently. Bella is fiercely loyal and protective of those she loves and cares about. IF you are lucky enough to be considered one of them then you know how Bella is. She will kill to protect those she loves and for one in particular she would lay down her life in an instant without thinking twice about it. She’s also a master at deceit. She can play the part just as well if not better than most people. She can have you convinced one minute that she is your absolute best friend and then in the next have you think she is your absolute enemy. When you lead the life she has though and you walk with the people she has you have to learn how to play everyone against the other while still keeping yourself safe. And she has. She also has a spitfire temper. It doesn’t take much to bring her temper to the surface nor does it take much to piss her off and make her lash out. Her temper burns hot and it burns hard and she is not one to normally back down…from anything. Holding a grudge is something she is good at. Normally she does not forgive people for anything but on occasion there have been a few people who’s actions she has over looked and forgiven but not many. Nor does she plan on making a habit out it. In essence Bella is a true Slytherin. STRENGTHS: She is loyal…to her family and her lover and herself. Above that she is loyal to no one. She will appear to be loyal only if it suits her and she can benefit from it. The minute though it stops being beneficial she stops being loyal. End of story. WEAKNESSES: Her loyalty is also her greatest weakness for in some cases it makes her blind to others and what their true intentions are. If she is trying to protect someone through her loyalty she may not always see what’s actually going on and that can be dangerous. It normally means that she or someone she cares about will get hurt. LIKES: Chocolate (dark and white only. She can’t stand milk chocolate) Raspberries, Vodka. The dark arts, pain (causing it more so than receiving it. Though if done correctly she’ll got off on receiving pain but Rodolphus has been the only one to ever do that for her). Night, wide open spaces, being outdoors, and the time right before it storms when everything goes still as thought its waiting for the chaos to happen before moving. DISLIKES: Mudbloods and Muggleborns. Shepard’s pie. Beer. Small, enclosed spaces. Large crowds and groups of people in a tiny place. Mornings, anything before noon is too early in her opinion. Liars, cheats, and people who hide who they truly are just to please someone else, basically hypocrites. MENTAL HEALTH: Bella’s mental health went down after spending time in Azkaban. Although anyone who spent any significant amount of time near the Dementors on constant basis will say the same thing. She has a habit now of talking to herself, something she didn’t do before Azkaban. And she tends to loose herself in thought becoming almost catatonic if she’s thinking really hard about something. She’s also a bit on the psychotic side. After being subjected to her worst fears day after day her sense of reality has been twisted and the line between right and wrong blurred just that much more for her. PHOBIAS/FEARS: Small, enclosed spaces. Large crowds and groups of people are things that bother her the most. They make her nervous and jumpy and its never a good thing when she’s either of those things. Someone or something always ends up getting hexed. Her biggest fear is failing Rodolphus. She feels like she already has in the sense that she never gave him and heir like any good and proper pureblooded female should do. But she also fears failing him in the aspect of not being strong enough to protect him and allowing him to die. If he were to die because of her it would be the end of Bella. Living with that is not something she could do, nor would she do. SEXUAL PREFERENCE: Heterosexual. She experimented with the same sex at one time but found it was lacking something. She found that something in men. Girls were too soft and too needy for her liking. TURN ONS: Tall, dark, dangerous men. Mint smoke, leather, and danger. She also has a thing for purebloods. TURN OFFS: Mudbloods, Muggles, whimps, cowards, and people who are afraid to admit who they truly are. | At first life was good. Being the oldest child Bella was spoiled rotten. Anything she wanted she got, until her sisters came along. Then things changed. She was still the favored of the three, but with Narcissa and her good looks and Andromeda with her humor Bella was over looked, until it was time to start to learn the family motto. Bella excelled in living up to the pureblood supremacist's code and she excelled even further in the Dark Arts, granting her special favour and recognition in her fathers eye. She was once again the favorite child as far as her father was concerned. Narcissa followed quickly in her footsteps, but not as well as Bella did, but Bella favored her. She and Narcissa got along quite well while she and Andromeda butted heads constantly. Andromeda was their mother’s favourite though so Bella over looked it. It was fairly easy living in the house after that. With her private tutors in the morning and her private lessons with her father in the afternoon Bella had the same childhood as every other pureblooded child. Until she entered Hogwarts. Upon entering Hogwarts she was sorted into Slytherin like every Black before her. She has served her family well. Excelling at being the perfect Slytherin and the proper pureblood girl. She does well in her studies, Ancient Ruins and Charms being her best subjects. She would have excelled in the Dark Arts, only Hogwarts didn’t offer them, Dumbledore thought them to be a bad sort of Magic. To Bella though magic is magic, even is she does have a strong liking and preference for the Dark Arts. While at Hogwarts Bella played the position of Beater on the Slytherin Quidditch team. It was a great way to take out her frustrations without getting in trouble for it. After all when you’re supposed to hit objects at people what better way is there to take out your anger and frustration. She kept to a small group of friends, mainly Lucius Malfoy, the Lestrange Brothers, her sister Narcissa, and the Carrows. Anyone else who got too close or tried to get close to her got a cold shoulder. She didn’t have the time for anyone else. Especially with the Dark Lord on the rise and looking for new potential recruits. His thoughts and ideas for the wizarding world were ones that Bella approved of immensely. So upon her leaving Hogwarts she joined up with him immediately. She rose quickly through the ranks of the Death Eaters. Her ruthlessness and determination far surpassing that of many of her brothers and sisters. She quickly became one of the most feared Death Eaters and that pleased her greatly. Her greatest defeat though came when she thought herself to be special. When she thought that she could just easily walk away from the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord and not think twice about it. She was wrong. Right before her father died, Bella found out she was pregnant. She was ecstatic. She and Rodolphus were to be parents, but at the same time she was terrified. She didn't want her child to grow up in that environment though. It was one thing for them to risk their lives like that but she would not put her child in danger. So she went to him, and told him that she wanted to leave, that she was done and wanted out. She refused to tell him at first why but he wouldn't hear of letting her go freely unless he had a good enough reason as to why. So she broke down and told him. Much to her surprise he agreed to let her go; to let her take Rodolphus and leave the country, never to look back again. Had she known then what was going to happen she never would have waited to tell Rodolphus. But she did. Instead of telling him straight away she packed a few of their things and made some final arrangements. The following day she went looking for him and she found him or what she assumed to be him. He was lying on the floor of their sun room, his neck twisted at an odd angle and blood pooled around him. Her world ended in the instant it took for her to realize that he was dead. It was that instant that cost her everything as she realized too late that she was not alone. Voldemort and some of the older DE’s had surrounded her, pointing and laughing as she broke down over the death of her husband. She doesn’t remember much of the beating that followed. It didn’t matter to her the pain they caused her though. She had a new nightmare to live with. She does remember though that right before she blacked out Riddle leaned over her and told her very quietly that is she ever tried to leave again, that if she ever thought herself brave enough or special enough to be able to leave his service that he would make sure her nightmares became a reality. She died that day, a part of herself sealing itself off as she blacked out and the life that had just begun inside of her ended. She made a promise though that if she lived, if she survived that she would never do anything to ever make Him doubt her again. That she would never give him another reason to harm those around her. She woke up a week later to learn that not only had she miscarried her child but that Rodolphus was also alive. It didn’t matter though. She had made a promise and she intended to keep it. So she threw herself into the role of the perfect loyal follower. She played her part…perfectly. So much so that even her husband began to think she was loyal to none other but the dark lord. The day the dark lord was defeated by a child was one of the best days of her life. She no longer had to pretend. She no longer had to play her part. She could tell Rodolphus the truth and they could work on having the life they were supposed to have. But she never got the chance. Shortly after the Dark Lord’s defeat she, her husband and her brother in law were sentenced to life in Azkaban. It was while in Azkaban that she broke. Having to see Rodolphus lying dead at her feet day after day drove her mad. She was hysterical to the point of needing to be drugged while in Azkaban. She had attempted to kill herself at one point but the guards would not allow it. Death was not an option for her. So she waited. Waited for the day when death would claim her naturally and she could be rid of this life that had caused her so much pain. Death came, in the form of the return of her Lord. It wasn't easy for her at first being out of Azkaban. Most people thought her to be barking mad, and granted on some level she was a bit mad but she had a promise to keep and role to play. The first day out of Azkaban she made it known that in her eyes nothing had changed. She was still the most loyal and any who said other wise met the cruel end of her wand. After a while Rodolphus even began to question her. Accusing her of loving the Dark Lord more than he, her own husband. She wanted to tell him that he was wrong, that she loved none other but him, but at the flash of him lying dead she merely turned and walked from the room, her actions speaking louder than her words ever could. It didn't take long though after her recovery to once again rise to the person she had been in his service before Azkaban. But it wasn’t like before. Not for her. Never would she be that person again. During the final battle at Hogwarts Bella fought along side her Lord ruthlessly, cutting down anyone who stood in their way. But in the end it wouldn’t matter. Caught off guard by Molly Weasley, the woman managed to get in a lucky shot and ended Bella’s life with a painless Avada Kedvra. As the curse raced towards her Bella said a silent prayer of thanks to whatever god it had been that watched over her that day for finally ending her misery and allowing her to be at peace finally. Lord Voldemort fell shortly after his most loyal but Bella would never know that. And if she had known it it wouldn’t have made any difference to her. For in the end he had won. She was broken beyond any real meaning of the word and the one thing that had mattered the most to her had been destroyed. Bella loves her husband more than most will ever know. Most thought their marriage to be an arranged one. Seeing as how she was the eldest in the Black family and its heir, a powerful spot for her to be in and he the heir to Lestrange, another powerful spot. But it was not. They married for love. And it is a love that has fueled everything Bella has ever done. She would kill for her husband in an instant if meant keeping him alive one more day and she would die in an instant for him without thinking twice about it if meant he lived. In Bella’s world there is none other more important than her husband. Sisters: Narcissa Malfoy nee` Black Bella adores her younger sister. When they were younger Cissa had always been the one Bella showed attention to and doted upon. Especially after Andromeda was disowned. Bella took that as a personal blow when her middle sister announced that she was a blood traitor. She and Narcissa had many a fights about Andromeda and what meant with the girl gone but Bella never voiced her true opinion that she viewed it as a personal failure that Andromeda turned out to be what she was. She loves Narcissa though. And while she may not always show it she would do anything to keep her sister and her family safe from harm and disappointment. After all its Bella’s job as the eldest sister. Andromeda Tonks nee` Black Disowned Bella does not acknowledge her middle sister. After the disgrace she turned into by marrying a Mudblood Bella wrote her off just as her parents did but for a much different reason that her parents did. Bella took it as a personal blow Andromeda announced that she was a blood traitor. Bella was her older sister and was supposed to look out for her, help guide her in this world and show her what was right and what was wrong. She sees it as a personal failure in her duties as the eldest child that that did not happen with Andromeda. And even to this day after almost three decades does she refuse to talk about or acknowledge her sister and the failure attached with her name. Brother-in-laws: Rabastan Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy. Bella has a love/hate with both of her Brother-in-laws. More so with Rabastan than Lucius but it’s a love/hate relationship nonetheless. They both drive her absolutely mad some days and anger the hell out of her but she would kill to protect either one of them. She may not always admit it or show it but she cares greatly for the both of them and would never wish to see anything happen to either of them. She knows it would destroy the two most important people in her life it anything happened to either of them and Bella will not allow it. Nephew: Draco Malfoy She treats her sisters son as if he were her own. She has done her best to help guide Draco in his life but she missed a large part of it while being in Azkaban. It doesn’t mean though that she doesn’t love the boy greatly though. He is her nephew and nothing more is to be said about it. Niece: Nymphadora Lupin nee` Tonks Does not acknowledge Bella works hard to avoid her niece. She wants nothing to do with the girl and if she could help it she would not even know the girl exists. She and her mother are a disgrace to the Black family name and that is not something Bella will accept. Cousins: Sirius Black Disowned At one point Sirius had been Bella’s favourite relative…next to her sisters. But as the years went on and Sirius started to show his true colours Bella grew further and further away from. Refusing to be associated with a Muggle lover. And when it was announced that Sirius was being disowned for being a blood traitor it came as no surprise to Bella. They have had many a run-ins over the years and none of them were pleasant. But none more so that then the battle at the Ministry where Bella killed him by hitting him with an Avada Kedvra that knocked him back into the death veil. Regulus Black After Sirius was disowned Bella took Regulus under her wing and tried to show him the way. Show him what it meant to be a true pureblood and a true Black on top of it. And she thought she had done well when he joined the Death Eaters. But his death shortly after joining with them told her otherwise. She never looked into the reason why he died merely mourned it, accepted it, and moved on with life. |
