Basics
Name: Bellatrix (Black) Lestrange
Nickname(s): Bella (Lord Voldemort and Narcissa only, please.)
Age: 46
Birthday: May 25th, 1951
House: Former Slytherin
Year: N/A

Creature: Human. (Although, at times, she may seem like a demon..)
Wand: 12¾ inches, walnut, unyielding, dragon heartstring core.
Affiliation: Death Eater
Physical Looks
Eyes:
The first thing someone would notice about Bellatrix Lestrange would be her eyes. Dark eyes. Eyes perhaps is not even the right word for them. Bottomless pits of malice and cruelty, under toned with the shades of love and affection for a chosen very few would be more correct. The eyes are an extremely dark hazel in color, seeming black at some angles and lighter at others. They don't reflect much emotion, but are fully capable of portraying what Bellatrix feels in a blink.
Hair:
Bella's hair is thick, sleek, coarse and a dark shade of brown, it, and her dark, heavily-lidded eyes bring out the ghastly paleness of her skin. At times, her hair seems like it's never been brushed. Of course it has! Just not very often. The messy mop of hair runs down her face and curls neatly around it almost like a crude outline of an artist who forgot to erase the heavy lines. The hair is a lot less tangled that one would actually expect at first glance, but who knows... You can't run your fingers through it to find out anyway.
Markings:
The only type of marking for which holds a deep meaning for her would be the 'Dark Mark', placed on her right forearm. Many other scars and what-not from her imprisonment in Azkaban may be seen as well. Other that that, her skin is as plain and pale as if she was someone who had never even seen the light of day.
Accent: I'm not quite sure.
Personality
General Attitude:
Many words to describe Bellatrix's personality may come to mind. Sadistic, psychotic, crazy.. These may be true, yes. But there is also something else to Bella. There is a sense of extreme loyalty. Even when all hope seemed lost when the Dark Lord fell, she continued to search for him. She continued to believe that he would rise again in power. She cursed people and even went to jail, sentenced for life, for him. She is, indeed, very loyal.
Now, we can move back to the sadist part of Bellatrix. She does, in fact, love to inflict pain unto others. She enjoys it, and therefore is able to do such a good job at it. As she says, "you have to really mean them". She may be a bit psychotic (she follows the Dark Lord for goodness' sake), but she's not completely gone. She does know how to follow Voldemort's orders.
Bella is a bit hot-tempered, as some may say. Actually, her temper is known to be dangerous and fierce, at times. She completely loses it after Harry says Lord Voldemort's name, besmirching it in such a way. She's a bit paranoid at times, mostly because of her imprisonment is Azkaban. If you had to describe her overall personality in one word, well, that's simple; Evil.
Goals:
Bella's goal is to prove that she is the most precious follower of the Dark Lord. She is the most devoted, she is the most loyal, she is the most -- in a word -- obsessed. Another goal is to eventually see to it that Harry Potter, the Order, and all muggles, muggle-borns, and muggle-supporters alike are destroyed.
Likes:
Bellatrix, being a sadist, loves to cause pain above all things. This includes hexing, jinxing, and cursing others. She is partly famous for her use of the Cruciatus Curse; a favorite of hers, along with the other Unforgivables. She likes other pure-bloods, Slytherins, and Death Eaters; or, at least she doesn't mind them as much as everyone else. She does indeed like her sister, Narcissa Malfoy, more than almost anyone else. Besides, of course, the Dark Lord. She is completely devoted to him, almost to the point of obsession. Although she knows he will never return any feelings that she may have for him, she will still follow and worship him. She also likes the way he calls her by the pet name, "Bella". Above all, she loves being evil in general.
Dislikes:
Being a follower of the Dark Lord, she despises any muggles, mudbloods, muggle-supporters, blood-traitors, and the like. This includes her sister, Andromeda, since she in fact is a blood traitor. Bellatrix dislikes her so much, she refuses to admit she is related to her. She doesn't particularly like anyone who wasn't in the Slytherin house. Especially those belonging to the Order of the Phoenix. She hates the Order, really. She does not like the Dark Lord being away for too long, leaving her to wait with the other Death Eaters in the Malfoy Manor. And for some reason, she doesn't like cats, either.
Abilities:
Bellatrix is a very skilled witch. She is not he best, nor is she perfect, but you have to admit, she is pretty good. She is a powerful duelist, and above all, excellent at cursing, jinxing, and hexing others. She is talented at the Dark Arts as well as the Unforgivable Curses. Most notable would be "Crucio!" Bella is also very good at forcing people to do what she wants, because of all this. Her biggest strength would probably be not caring for cursing and killing the people she hates.
Bad Habits:
Every witch and wizard has their weaknesses. Unfortunately, even the evil Bellatrix has hers too. She was never very good at Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, or Charms in school. Not like they were /that/ important, but she wanted to be superior in everything. This happens to be another weakness; perfection. Although her appearance might not show this, Bella is in fact a perfectionist. Mostly because she wants to impress the Dark Lord, and keep her place as the most devoted follower. Another weakness, the need to always have things her way. When this doesn't go right, I would not want to be in her way...
Fears:
Fear. Fear of being rejected by the other Death Eaters. Fear of the Dark Lord banishing her, believing her to be a traitor. Fear of Voldemort not realizing that she, above all the others, has remained loyal to him through thick and thin. Fear that he will end up hating her. But most of all, fear that if he ever were to get rid of her, the ridicule that would follow.
Family
Parents: Cygnus Black (father), Druella Rosier (mother)
Siblings: Narcissa (Black) Malfoy, and Andromeda (Black) Tonks (She refuses to believe that Andromeda was ever related to her.)
Blood: Pure-blood
Pet: N/A (She would probably kill it, anyway.
Economic background: Rather rich.
History:
The Black blood-line goes back a long ways, crawling with the darkest of wizards. The noble house of Black extends back to the olden days when witches and wizards were still burned on the stake. Their motto "toujours pur" (French for "always pure"), has kept their blood-line among the few pure-blooded wizards still alive.
It all began with two purebloods a long, long time ago. They were the parents of six children, one of whom was erased from the family tree for marrying a muggle.
Only the famous Phineas Nigellus Black, who married Ursula Flint, another pureblood, had fathered five children to carry on the Black family legacy.
Phineas Black Junior was disowned.
Belvina Black married Herbert Burke, the successful owner of a newly started store for various objects of Dark Arts, Borgin and Burke. They had three children.
Sirius Black married Hesper Gamp, leading to another branch of Blacks for the family tree.
Arcturus Black married Lysandra Yaxley, leading to ties with the Crouch, Weasley and Longbottom families.
Cygnus Black married Violetta Bulstrode, fathering four more Black childen. That was truly where Bellatrix' history begins.
One of Cygnus' children, Pollux Black, married Irma Crabbe, and fathered 3 children with the other pure-blood. One of them was disowned, but the other two successfully married other pure-bloods.
Walburga Black married Orion Black, leading to Sirius and Regulus Black. Cousins of Bellatrix'. She refused to admit she's related to Sirius after he ended up in Gryffindor.
Cygnus Black married Druella Rosier, another famous pure-blood family line, and fathered Bellatrix herself, along with her two sisters, Narcissa and Andromeda.
Bellatrix was a naughty little witch from the moment she was born, the eldest of the three Black sisters, and naturally took the lead among them. From the moment Bella was born, she was always a little devil. When the doctor stuck a finger in her mouth to help clear her airways at birth, Bella bit down on it with toothless gums and smiled widely up at him. Her father and mother always loved her, and her absolute devotion to the noble house of Black.
She spent her seven years of life at Hogwarts in the house of Slytherin. As a student, she associated with a group of future Death Eaters; including Rodolphus Lestrange, Evan Rosier, Snape, Avery, and Wilkes. She soared in some subjects, especially Defense Against the Dark Arts, yet some were not her best... Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures, though did she really care about caring for plants and creatures? I think you can guess the answer.
After the fall of the Dark Lord, she, along with Barty Crouch Jr., Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange did not desert him. They did everything in their power to find the location of where Voldemort was. That's when Frank and Alice Longbottom came into the picture...
They attacked them to gain the information, torturing them with the Cruciatus Curse until they were driven insane. Because of this, they were captured and imprisoned in Azkaban, for life.
Fourteen years later, she escaped from Azkaban to rejoin her precious Dark Lord. Though she was still ready to assist him in any way she can, you could not look past what prison had done to her.
Sample RP:
Silence.
Yes, that's all there was. Silence. No conversations, no footsteps, no laughing; not even breathing could be heard. Just silence. Peaceful, some may say. Relaxing, even. No; this was not the case for a certain Death Eater. A certain Death Eater who was longing for any type of noise; something falling, something breaking, something moving.
Bellatrix remained seated in a chair by the table. Her left elbow on the table's top, her head being propped up by the hand attached to said elbow. Her other arm lay limply beside it on the table, palm facing up, fingers curled. Her dark eyes were fixed on the chair across from her, which at the moment was not occupied. She longed for her beloved Dark Lord to be sitting there.
When would he be returning? It felt like it had been ages since he had last left. Why had he left his poor Bella all alone in this house? Although she loved her sister Narcissa, and the Malfoy Manor was not bad either, she absolutely despised being in it without Voldemort there with her. Especially when it was just so...
SILENT.
She jumped out of the chair and let out a shriek. A cold, loud, painful shriek. Her arms reached up to her tangled hair and pulled. Her longing for noise had not been granted from anyone else, so she let it out. She wanted Lord Voldemort; she wanted the Death Eaters to amuse her with some type of noise, any type of noise, but did anyone do this? Did any one try to relieve her of the annoying silence?
NO!
"Bellatrix, is everything all right?" Narcissa asked, not exactly sounding surprised. This had actually been going on quite often now, whenever the Dark Lord left the house. The other Death Eaters were probably looking at the two of them; the light features of Narcissa and the complete dark ones of Bellatrix made them look far from sisters.
Bellatrix stared at her sister. She was very silent a frail these days. She was the only one who understood, besides the Dark Lord. She didn't want to explain; Narcissa already knew. "I'm fine, 'Cissy." As she said this she went back to her chair, resumed her position, and tapped her fingernails lightly on the table top.
Hopefully the Dark Lord would be coming back soon.
(ooc;; A little... cruddy. Hopefully not too cruddy...)
Other: (do you have anything else to add about this character for admission?) Just because she's evil, doesn't man she has potential? :] (Yeah, right.)
