"Control your life through insanity."
- Cliff Burton
General Characteristics
Name: Bellatrix Druella Lestrange (nee Black)
Appearance:
Her hair is long, raven black and shiny and is usually in a slightly wavy, loose hairstyle. Only when there are important family functions does she place it up in a more extravagant style. Her eyes are heavy-lidded and a light shade of green or blue depending on the season, and are usually cold and hard - unless she's making someone get their comeuppance. Her skin is extremely pale, while her lips are a dark, vibrant red. Her younger sisters used to call her Snow White when she was younger - as an inside joke. As Bellatrix shares no personality traits with the fairy tale witch. She's tall for a female, though still shorter than her husband, and is fit in body - having been known for her curves in high school.
Other Names: Bella
Titles: Death Eater
Alternate Forms: N/A
Blood Status: Pureblood
Theme Song: Melanie Martinez - Mad Hatter
Wand: 12¾", Walnut, dragon heartstring
Wand Meaning:
Highly intelligent witches and wizards ought to be offered a walnut wand for trial first, because in nine cases out of ten, the two will find in each other their ideal mate. Walnut wands are often found in the hands of magical innovators and inventors; this is a handsome wood possessed of unusual versatility and adaptability. A note of caution, however: while some woods are difficult to dominate, and may resist the performance of spells that are foreign to their natures, the walnut wand will, once subjugated, perform any task its owner desires, provided that the user is of sufficient brilliance. This makes for a truly lethal weapon in the hands of a witch or wizard of no conscience, for the wand and the wizard may feed from each other in a particularly unhealthy manner.
As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.
The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.

She also takes extreme pride in her ability to lead, though her new husband Rodolphus keeps her down. She knows she'd be a better leader than him, or any of the other men who seem to want to step all over her, and is biding her time before making them all pay.

Intellectual Characteristics
Bellatrix is extremely logical, though her emotional highs and lows are extreme and so can counteract this when she's experiencing either. She tends to become psychotic easily, which overshadows the more logical part of her brain. Her cousins and siblings know this well as she snapped often, leading her to do things that could have damaged them had they run out of luck. Otherwise, when she is calm and collected, Bellatrix is very skilled at logical and tactical thinking. Often beating her husband at logic games like Wizarding Chess.
Spatial:
The only spatial thinking she cares to do is imagining the best way to torture someone. Or how best to get revenge. Even as a child she didn't do much imagining like her sisters Cissa and Andromeda did. She has no use for anything that doesn't further her station in Voldemorts ranks. As imagination is a very female trait, she tries her best not to do it much, as she's out to prove that she can be better than any man.
Linguistic:
Bellatrix is okay with her linguistic skills. While she's passionate and strong willed, she often snaps and uses a baby voice or her voice becomes somewhat high and broken, showing how thin her sanity is. She is not the best speech maker, not being interested in firing others up. That should be their own job to do.
Bodily-Kinesthetic:
She does, however, know how to use her body. She trained in it from a young girl, when family members would comment on her beauty and she learned that instead of being grossed out by their behavior, she could use it to get what she wanted. Or get away with whatever she wanted. She uses her seduction and beauty as a tool, sometimes fatally, and usually gets people to do what she wants. Even her husband, though it's an extremely rare occasion as he's more stubborn and hard headed than others.
Musical:
Bellatrix has no time for music.
Interpersonal:
She knows herself, her goals, and why she does things. She believes she's doing the right thing, even if others thinks she's crazy or cruel. Her greatest wish is to be happy, and she is determined to please herself, no matter what. Bellatrix understands herself, it's how she can be so self confident and rarely wavers.
Intrapersonal:
Bellatrix has an uncanny ability to understand others too. She's used it from a young girl to get into the mind of her siblings, cousins, other family members and peers. It's how she can be so good at Legilimens and Occlumency. She knows how to push other peoples buttons and crawl inside them to get them to feel fear, embarrassment or self hate.
Naturalistic:
Bellatrix doesn't care about nature or anything in it.
Existential:
Bellatrix doesn't have time to ponder the existential.
Philosophical Characteristics
Morality:
Bellatrix has a very skewed view on morality. You could say it was because of her parentage and how she was raised, but more than likely she was just one of those rare 'bad apples' as she started showing signs of immense cruelty starting at a very young age. She does things to further her own power, prestige or stature, and only if it makes her happy. Which all three do. She doesn't care about others except for her sister, and even that is only because Cissa hasn't abandoned her like her other family members. She holds no allegiance except to herself, and a small one to her family, though she has proven she isn't above killing them if needed.
Etiquette:
Bellatrix is extremely cruel and acts like it, though she can be a proper lady when certain people are around. She can blend in at a ball or a public outing, where people like the mayor are around, but in the comfort of her own home or with others like her, she lets her true colors shine. It has been said, even among the death eaters, that she is impulsively cruel and sadistic, and she certainly doesn't hide it. Or her sometimes psychotic breaks.
Attitude:
See above. Bellatrix is hot tempered, cruel, and mean. She steps over others, and only acts sweet when she absolutely needs to. Otherwise she'll use scare tactics and intimidation to get her way. She isn't compassionate or loving, she uses bull headedness to shove her way around the world.
Outlook on Life:
She has the outlook of life of everyone for themselves. She isn't positive or negative, she's just a cynical realist. She realizes the only way she'll get what she wants is by hard work and going to some sadistic extremes. And she won't let anyone, not even family, get in her way.
Perception:
See Above.
Philosophy:
“To see others suffer does one good, to make others suffer even more: this is a hard saying but an ancient, mighty, human, all-too-human principle. Without cruelty there is no festival.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Taboos:
- Becoming friends with a muggle, or muggleborn, or a muggle lover
- Turning her back on Voldemort
Spiritual Characteristics
Religion:
The only religion Bellatrix suscribes to is the one involving Vodemort. To her, he is the closest there is to a God.
Devotion:
Her devotion is close to obsessive and fanatical, she does everything to please herself and to please Voldemort.
Superstitions:
She is too logical (most of the time) to believe in Superstitions.
Virtues: The only one she has is Diligence.
Vices: Lust, Greed, Wrath, and Pride.

Biography
Infancy:
Infancy:
Bellatrix was born to Druella and Cygnus Black III. She had a lavish and luxurious nursery and life, and was doted upon by both of her parents as she was the firstborn child.
Childhood:
Her childhood was also luxurious. She was given whatever she wanted, and after her sisters were born, she played with them with moments of childlike torture. She also did the same to her cousins Regulus and Sirius. She picked on Sirius most often, realizing he was the most different out of all of them. Using his fathers dissapointment in him to tease him and get him in trouble. She was the eldest, and made sure to boss them around and get them to do things for her.
Adolescence:
She got into Slytherin, as she expected, and was determined to be the best in her house and year. She charmed some of her teachers, the ones she cared to, like Slughorn. The others she ignored, though she got good grades in all her classes. She didn't date, instead having frequent flings, ending them when the men were no longer useful. She ramped it up after finding out she'd be married off to Rodolphus Lestrange, a man she didn't know or care to know.
Adulthood:
She married Rodolphus Lestrange at the insistence of her parents, and because she'd get more power in return for him getting her money. She quickly became a member of the Death Eaters, and with her husbands help, entered into Voldemorts inner circle. She's rising through the ranks, becoming known for her cruelty and ruthlessness. Though it's not going as fast as she'd like. She had a set back with the attack on the train, losing to her kid of a cousin Sirius Black. It's a memory she wants to quickly be forgotten.
Seniority:
Yet to be seen.
