Appearance
Height: 5' 10"
Body Type: tall and lender, statuesque
Hair Color/Style: Black
Eye Color: Silver
Scars/Distinguishing marks: pierced ears, dimple in the cheek, dark mark on her left arm
Desrciption: Bella is tall and slender with a very statuesque build. This really plays to her advantage though and she knows how to use it to its fullest. She has slim curves and to her own embarrassment never got much of a "figure" until during her fifth year. She's got slim hips and long legs.. if she had to personify and animal it would most certainly be a cat. She has the "graceful dancer" look though, because of her litheness and she's strong.
Bella has deep set silvery-grey eyes, the Black family eyes. She brings them out even more with eyeliner and mascara and she has these slim brows that arch over her pale face constrasting with it. Her eyes truly are the windows to her soul and more than one wizard has gotten lost in them. She has very long, wavvy, black hair which falls all the way to her waist and feels soft and smooth as silk, like a black curtain. Her face also has the "heart shape" but is pale and her smile can either be nice or horrible, depending on what mood she is in.. the nice one has a dimple in one cheek.
Bella is one of those witches who you simply cannot look away from - particularly potent to wizards, even the most stand offish wizards have gotten in ... trouble.. when it comes to Bella because of her looks. She is not absolutely beautiful - that would be 'Cissa- but she knows EXACTLY how to use what she has been given to her advantage and to the detriment of any poor wizard who crosses her path.

Under the Skin
Personality: Bella is a very confusing ball of things... she can be almost two totally different people all smashed into one. There can be the horrible side of her that most people see.. the Death Eater type.. and then there can be the nice, loving side of her that every few get to see.. The mean side is dominant and commanding. She wants her way and will settle at nothing less. She takes no refusal or compromise and she is absolutely loyal and faithful to the end, no matter what that might be.
She can be downright cruel too.. that's the side everyone knows. With those she loves she's actually more empathetic.. she cares about most everyone in her family and an occasion or two she's even saved Sirius' skin when not around her Death Eater buddies.. Bella's very complex and what you see is rarely what you get. She wears a "mask" to hide what's really her often.
Bella is the wild child.. she doesn't ever like to conform to anything. She's the one who almost certainly gave Walburga and Cygnus all of the gray hairs they possess because she doesn't just like to settle down and take things laying down.. she'll always fight, in fact, to the death.. she's just very determined, her tenacity could in fact have also been more taken as pig headedness, but that's such an .. ugly word. She just really knows what she's doing and where she's headed in life. She's completely content to marry Rodolphus Lestrange (though she enjoys her "night job" as well.. )
One other big thing about Bella is that she's brilliant- maybe half psychotic who knows- but she is utterly brilliant, not just book smart but like her ability to plan strategy, to go into battle and fight and her ability to sense things, her common sense has brought her far and her added intelligence and beauty hasn't hurt anything, that's for certain!

Likes: Most of her family, Pureblood, strong loyalty, fashion, good food, Hogwarts, Slytherin, study, being the "in charge" one, being "wild", money, Rodolphus Lestrange, The Dark Lord, chess, astronomy, fine arts, potions, books
Dislikes: Mudbloods, people who're unfaithful, most Gryffindors, Sirius Black.. enemy number one since before they were out of diapers, black coffee, confined spaces, being alone, having to ask for help, not getting what she wants, failing

Strengths: Bella is a very strong witch and a very strong person in general, she's got a lot of strengths and she's extremely smart.. this is only one of the reasons she's so valuable to the Dark lord. She's extremely gifted, an excellent dueller for one thing, and she's very gifted with potions as well and charms, - particularly hexes, jinxes, curses, that sort of thing. Because she enjoys study and learning and bettering herself, she's constantly improving her skills in some way. She's always exploring and she's got a naturally curious streak, and so it seems, the nine lives to go with it. She's also quite the seductress, able to stop just about any wizard to make him take a second glance at her.. She's stubborn and fights to be the dominant one, the leader, only submissive to Rodolphus and to the Dark Lord.. anyone else is fair game to her. Her best strength is probably her loyalty to those she loves.. if Bella happens to truly care for you- and that's rare- she'd rather die than let anything happen to you.

Weaknesses: Bella's strengths can quickly turn to weaknesses though she doesn't want them to.. her stubbornness can get her into big trouble because she simply won't give up.. as for her temper- oii don't ever upset this witch, she's deadly - quite seriously. Her temper is easy to excite and her wrath is an awesome and dangerous spectacle. She holds a grudge that would stretch to the moon and she has next to no patience- with anyone- especially herself. She's not one to be easily pleased or coerced and she's quite the spitfire daredevil.. if you don't her to walk off the astronomy tower she just might do it.

Habits/Quirks: Going out of her way to be unique, practicing her seduction attempts on younger guys... she loves fourth years because of the way they squirm, giving her parents grey hair
Patronus: Black Panther
Boggart: Herself alone
Mirror of Erised: By her master's side helping him however she can and with a lot of power
Anything else: Bella's officially got her mark now that she's seventeen and she's also the Dark Lord's mistress..

Where Do You Come From?
Parents: Druella (nee) Rosier Black and Cygnus Black
Siblings: Andromeda and Narcissa
Other relatives: Sirius and Regulus Black
Race/Origin: British/French
History: Bella was born June 15th to Cygnus and Druella Black. She was the oldest of three girls and came along about a year after the couple married. Bella never had a problem making her presence known. It was said she was born screaming and never stopped. For the first two years old her life, Bella was the apple of her parents eye, Daddy's little princess the whole nine yards. Then, little sister Andromeda came along.. Bella, at two, was a bit young to protest and quickly adjusted to having a little sister to play with and teach things to. However, when she was four and Ana was two.. another girl came along.. this was a shock for even Cygnus and 'Ella they had been expecting their last try for a child would be .. well.. male.. surprise! Bella hated her little sister for a little while.. some.. sibling rivalry.. she attempted to charge the Healer to take the baby away.. when that didn't work.. she attempted to GIVE the baby to the next door neighbor and when all that didn't work she tried to PAY her Aunt Walburga to take the baby away.. but luckily, Auntie straightened her out and made Bella realize how lucky she was to have two sisters.

As Bella grew up she and her sisters forged a strong bond. As young children they referred to each other as simply "Sister" nothing else.. it wasn't needed they always knew which Sister was meant.. they did everything together.. up until Bella went off to Hogwarts, and then Ana two years later.. At first Bella thought it was full of muggle scum, but then came to realize it was actually pretty nice.

Her thirteenth birthday she found out that her parents had arranged her marriage.. to Rodolphus Lestrange. At that point it was an engagement in name only. During her fifth year, Bella heard some boys in the Common Room talking about a wizard named Lord Voldemort.. who wanted to rise up and take over the wizarding world.. in so doing make it a pureblooded society. He wanted an army of followers called Death Eaters to help him.. and Bella was definitely interested. She heard that anyone interested in serving this Lord Voldemort could come to a small gathering next Hogsmeade weekend.. of course, everyone laughed when a girl showed up- her- making Bella all the more determined to prove them wrong!

She had to endure a series of rigorous questions, but luckily Rodolphus Lestrange seemed more and more pleased with the young woman he had first thought to be only a child, not worth his time.. during the next summer she met her new master for the first time.. he saw a spark in Bella .. knew she could be great and took it upon himself to train her.. everything she would need to know to become his most faithful.

The summer of her 17th birthday, she became an official Death Eater with the Dark Mark in her left arm and a heart belonging to serving her new master. She would see him through.. no matter what.. But that night he had to go.. to build his army.. Bella didn't see him again for three months until August.. during the hottest dog days of summer.. or nights.. it was one of those nights when it was too hot to live she had just con templated getting up to take a stroll in the moonlight when her owl, Morgan (Yes, named after Morgan Le Fey) brought her a letter from Him. He asked her to come to their headquarters he wished to see her. Once Bella arrived he silently led her up the stairs. This puzzled her, for only the most trusted were allowed upstairs in the house with his most secret experiments, and she certainly hadn't been a Death Eater long enough. He led her into a bedroom, presumably his and turned to her. "Undress." He said simply.. and, very nervous indeed, she did. Bella, like any pure blood witch, was expected to keep her innocence and purity until marriage and so she had.. this command was foreign and scary to her.. but who disobeys Lord Voldemort? So, she undressed. "You please me, Bella." He had said simply. After that.. he had made his intentions clear to her and asked her to be his mistress, his Lover.. and she said yes. He gave her the nickname Ma Belle- French for My Beauty and they embarked on an interesting relationship of twists and turns. Bella would serve him to the end.. to her death.. willingly.

Rodolphus soon found out about what was going on with his pretty young Fiance, but his Master, he knew, was not going to hurt Bella. He also found it useful to have a fiance with whom the Dark Lord was so close.. so of course, he didn't mind too much and even if he had, there was little he could have done.

During the past months the two have been seeing more of each other considering now that she's settled and of age.. they'll probably marry sooner rather than later.. Bella is still her complex self, discovering what she's to do in this world.. and where she wants to go..

RP sample: Seventeen year old Bellatrix Black hurried down the gently sloping hill towards the dark woods behind her family's huge manor house. The grounds were as extensive as the house and even though it was dark she knew exactly where she was going. She could have used her wand to light her way considering this was her "Coming Out" party, as her Mum called it, but she preferred to go the way she always had, with the light of only the moon and the stars.

Her footsteps were silent all but for the swish of her feet in the grass as she ran, her long black hair streaming out behind her in the gentle breeze that made the trees before her creak and sway. They almost seemed to be beckoning her in, calling to her. The heat was stiflingly hot and seemed to literally press upon her like some giant hand. Perhaps it was this that had made her come to seek refuge in the place of her child hood, she mused, as she came into a clearing that she knew well. Trees surrounded this place completely and it was secluded and alone; There was no worry of anyone coming here to bother her. In the midst of the clearing a wide pond lay- a little on down it trickled into a babbling brook, but here the water was clear, cool, and deep. This was the place she and occasionally her little sisters, had escaped for a midnight swim.

Sirius Black smirked as he caught sight of his older cousin running down the hill in her loose, white robe with her dark hair streaming out behind her full force. As any nine going on ten year old boy.. he was insanely curious about the mystery called "Women." Particularly if they happened to be older women of the full grown type like the one that had just streaked by him going about a hundred miles an hour- cousin or not. It intrigued him enough to look up. He ran a hand through his elegant dark wavy hair to get it out of his eyes. Already he was what his Mum called a "Little Heart breaker" whatever that meant.

Suddenly, without warning, the boy took off after his cousin, going through the grass in the shadows so as not to be caught following her. Adrenaline flowed through his veins. This was a sure fire way to get into a heck of a lot of trouble if she got mad that he'd followed her, but the idea that she was going off somewhere alone was just too much for the boy's curiosity. He was like a bug drawn to light- irresistable. There was little he could do but follow.

A few seconds later, he saw Regulus toiling along in his tracks behind him. Sirius shot his Seven year old brother a dirty look, "Go on back up to the house where Mum can keep an eye on you."

"I wanna come with you, Sirius."

"Well you're too young to come with me... there might be... bogeymen in there." He said with a smirk.

"I don't believe in the bogeyman." Regulus said stoutly, falling into step beside Sirius, and Sirius pinched him.

"OW!"

"Shut it!" Sirius hissed, dragging Regulus into the shadows as Bella looked over her shoulder, convinced that she had heard something behind her. She shook her head looking back only once more. Must have been my imagination she told herself, and kept on.

The brothers picked up their pace a bit in order to keep up with Bella. As they appeared in the clearing, Sirius spotted a large bush by the edge of the pond and got down on his hands and knees in behind it, using it to hide with. Regulus did the same, settling in beside Sirius further on down the bush.

Bella, blissfully unaware that she was being watched, stepped to the side of the pond. She undid the tie on the edge of her robe and, with her back to the hiding boys, let it slide a ways down her shoulder. The robe exposed her milky white skin, which glinted in the moonlight up above that shone down on them and her ebony hair created a startling contrast against it. Her hair was swept up in an intricate hair-do, since before the adults got involved, the party had been hers. The top layer of her hair was swept back into a large silver barrette with the Black Crest on it. The bottom layer was curled in long banana curls as was the pinned up portion so that it looked elegant and grown up. The hair was the only part that remained of the fairy tale princess Bella had been hours before, for she had changed into her dressing robe some time previous. It had to be after midnight she guessed, based on the moon being so high.

Sirius' eyes practically got wide as gold galleons when she finished dropping the robe to the ground along with her wand and knickers as well. "Whooaa." He whispered. Sirius couldn't see much but the curve of her hip and her shoulder, but it made him look more carefully nevertheless. She turned to step out of her knickers and reached up, letting down her hair so it came loose, cascading around her shoulders and down her back.

Sirius had forgotten that Regulus was even with him.. all he could think about was watching the gorgeous creature in front of him. He, of course, had never actually been successful at seeing a naked woman before and thus, having no comparison, thought that she could have been the goddess Aphrodite herself. She was tall and slim- statuesque. Her face was smooth, unworried of anything. Her deep set "Black family" eyes were brought out even more with eyeliner and mascara making her look absolutely gorgeous, and her mouth was relaxed in a half smirk, causing the dimple she despised ('"It's only a mistake! A weakness in the muscle tissue in the cheek!") to show. She had slender shoulders that led to a flat stomach and slightly rounded hips and her curved bum. Her legs were long and a patch of dark, coarse looking curls graced the area between her legs. Her breasts were fashionably small for a girl of newly seventeen who had just learned she HAD such a thing as a figure about a year and a half previous. Her hair sweeping across all of this in the slight wind drawn up off the pond was a wonderous sight.

Bella breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the kiss and carress of the cool air on her skin after the hotness of the house because of the sticky June humidity. Finally, she turned and dipped one toe into the pond, testing it. It wasn't too cold or too warm, perfect. She waded into it feeling the water hit her skin. It felt good. She leaned down- unknowingly exposing more of herself to the two amazed boys, to splash water on her overly hot face, before slipping elegantly the rest of the way in and letting the water close over her with an appreciative sigh.

Bella swam a few laps back and forth in the water feeling the minnows in the pond dart around her as she stirred everything up and then turning onto her back and just floating. Her hair fanning out in the water behind her as she relaxed. Sirius, unable to take his eyes off of her, reached out slowly and grabbed the towel she had laid out, taking it behind the bush with him almost unconsciously. When she sat up in the water, washing it over her arms and shoulders, he felt the oddest feeling he had ever felt in all of his life. A tingling and tightening of his lower abdominal muscles something fierce. He couldn't understand that, but there were much more important things to worry about.

When she stood up, it was just too much for him to take. Sirius practically shot forward; the bush cracked from the extra weight being exerted upon it, and both boys went flying onto the edge of the pond and- in Regulus' case- right on in with Bella.

Bellatrix heard and felt the splash Regulus caused and turned almost simultaneously. She shrieked in surprise- how would you feel if you got sneaked up on when you thought you were alone? That didn't even account for the fact she was soaking wet and not wearing a single stitch of clothing. This seemed to be coming back to her just now, and Sirius was taking no pains to hide the fact that he was just standing there, staring as little water droplets ran down her skin. She tried twice before any words actually came.

"YOU LITTLE GITS!! BOTH OF YOU!! TWERP!!! YOU ARROGANT TOERANG!! THAT'S GRYFFINDOR WORTHY THAT IS! YOU BLOODY LITTLE PAIN IN THE ARSE!! SNEAKING UP ON SOMEONE LIKE THAT WHEN THEY'RE STARKERS! I HOPE SOMEONE DOES THAT TO YOU SOMEDAY! YOU LITTLE!!!.... DAMN IT!!" She shrieked as she realized her towel had been moved. In her haste to get to it or Sirius either one, (Regulus had already fled the scene when the big cousin he admired started swearing up a blue blazed fortune,) she tripped over her own feet and barely managed to avoid going flat on her face.

"Looking for this?" Sirius finally asked, recovering his voice, and holding up her towel like a white flag of surrender, but when she reached for it he held out out of her reach. At nearly ten he was already up to her shoulder in height, so this wasn't horribly hard. Bella broke into another round of cursing as she attempted to wrestle the towel away from him, not even caring that she was totally naked, just wanting her towel back. As usually happens to one in moments of crises.. she forgot the obvious fact... her bathrobe was laying right on the ground a foot from them.

"GIVE THAT HERE!! CREEP! YOU GIT!! YOU ARE A FOUL LOATHSOME EVIL LITTLE BEAST!! I RECKON MUM WAS RIGHT WHEN SHE SAID YOU WERE A LITTLE MENACE!!! GIVE THAT HERE NOW!" but she might as well have been crying to the moon, for Sirius was grinning now. He was a mischievous child and the longer she shouted the longer he could watch her get upset and, by some miracle, her beauty seemed to increase the more upset she got.. so it was a win win situation for him.

He smirked, reaching out his hand, unable to resist, like a child around candy. He got it to his goal before she could stop him, wrapping his hand- none too gently- around one of her breasts, trying to feel her up. Bella did the only conceivable thing- Shrieked bloody murder, smacked his hand and streaked away up the yard, running pell mell as fast as she could go...

"OI!!! WAIT!!! THERE'S STILL PEOPLE UP THERE!" He called. He did honestly try and warn her, but she was too far ahead and though he ran and ran, there was no catching her due to her long legs and tiny stature, which allowed her to run like greased lightning.

Bella had no clue that all of the guests of prominence in the wizarding world from the Minister of magic down to the nearest pure blooded neighbor and ALL of the relatives.. were still standing around in the backyard talking. It was, at least, bearable outside in the humidity rather than inside of the house in closed quarters. This meant that some odd 100 people were standing around in the yard when she came running, naked as the day she was born, right up the hill and into sight, shrieking all the while. Her shrieking was a mix of curse words and wandless hexes that she had not had enough practice in to perfect, and, thus, were not hurting Sirius in the least, except when they hit him slowed his running down.

Bella stopped abruptly when she saw the lights and the people, who (of course) were staring right back. The scene was like something from your worst nightmare.. all of those people staring at you, deja vu, the guest of honor, naked, alone, and soaked, hair hanging down and of course, not having the good grace to cover anything. Bella's whole face was the color of a new budded red rose, and her modesty was flung to the far corners of the earth- a horrible thing for a pureblooded witch who was eligible to marry into some of the best families in their world.

All of this seemed to take forever, but really it took about five seconds between the time she crested the hill to her realizing what was happening and Sirius running up behind her, clutching her towl and practically wheezing himself. With good reason, he had not brought her wand! To top it off...Rodolphus Lestrange was standing RIGHT there in front of all of them- though he was managing to shield his eyes.

Bella jerked the towel away from Sirius so fast she practically made him fall. She tried to use it to shield herself as she ran into the house and up the long grand stair case to the third floor and the safe haven of the bedroom she and her sisters shared. Once there she slammed the door behind her and ran to the bed, collapsing on it. She felt the old frame bend and creak in protest from her jumping on it so roughly, but she didn't care. Hot, sickening tears fell down her cheeks.. the kind that burn your skin and usually happen when you're hurt and embarrassed. She clutched the pillow against her, hiding her face in it so that no one would hear her sobs of embarrassment and frustration. Her "Coming Out" had turned into an unprecedented disaster like NEVER seen before. New Death Eaters who had just gotten 6 N.E.W.T's did NOT cry.. she chastised herself, but it did very little good and provided no solace, so she let the tears come. She didn't think she had ever felt so utterly humiliated in all of her life. "When I get my hands on Sirius Black... he ... is... a dead man." She muttered furiously. "He chased me into those people on purpose!! That's why he was spying on me! Thought it would be funny!" she fumed, obviously not knowing the real truth.

She rested her head on the pillow again, praying that her mother would wait at least a few days for the humiliation to wear off before she started scolding her daughrer about her "totally inappropriate behavior.." like salt in an open wound. "This is the MOST embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me for sure!" whispered the seventeen year old in mortification.

The only thing that needs to be adjusted is in your history because on this site we have Rodolphus as a student, not many years older than Bella. Other than that, you're good to go.

Congratulations! You have been
