History::
Born on November the 3rd to Cygnus Black and Druella Rosier, Bellatrix was the eldest of her two sisters, and also held the most potential for becoming a Death Eater. Since a very young age, she had shown particular interest in the Dark Arts, which was, most likely, inherited from her parents, as she had grown up around it. She was ecstatic when she received her Hogwarts acceptance letter, and in the days leading up to her departure to the sacred school, Bellatrix hoped that she would be placed in the house that all her family had been in, Slytherin.

After arriving at school, Bellatrix wasn’t disappointed in the least. She had become a member of Slytherin House, The sorting hat had barely been placed on her head before it screamed out slytherin. Her favourite class quickly became potions, she excelled in the subject, though she did prefer a more direct approach to doing things. She would so things first and think about the consequences later. Defence Against the Dark Arts became a favorite subject of her too although she wasn’t a fan of defending herself against them. Through learning defensive spells and such, however, Bellatrix became better at performing the very same spells that they were told to be defending themselves against.

In her second year, her younger sister, Andromeda, rode on the train to Hogwarts with her. Her younger sister was sorted into slytherin too though the sorting hat had seemed to take forever to make a choice. Thoughout her second year Andromeda tended to tag along with Bellatrix and her friends who all turned out to be guys, her and Andromeda were the only females in the group.

It was in her third year that Bellatrix got quickly bored of the simple hexes that they had taught them so she started to teach herself more interesting curses. She scared people into doing things for her, it didn’t take much to frighten all of the pathetic little first years. Well, all except one first year. Her youngest sister, Narcissa, had been placed in Slytherin, just like Bellatrix and Andromeda. But Bellatrix had always been closer to Narcissa than Andromeda and Bella had started to notice a difference in Andromeda. Bellatrix still did everything in her power to make sure that nobody picked on her sister's - though for some, just knowing that Bellatrix was their older sister was enough to keep them away. It was in her third year that her cousin Sirius had been sorted into Gryffindor, they had never really got along anyway but when he was sorted into Gryffindor she instantly disowned him.

Bellatrix found her fourth, fifth and sixth years to be a complete and total bore. All there was to do were examinations and tests. She had learned whatever spells she had needed to know in her first three years, so why did she need all of these other useless years? It made little sense to her, but she paid attention in her classes anyway. With nothing to do but to study she turned her attention to something else, she had gradually got closer to Rodolphus Lestrange. She fell for him even before she found out that his father was a death eater. He was a pureblood and Bellatrix knew that she would marry him later in life.

A year after Bellatrix graduated Hogwarts, she was married woman. No longer Bellatrix Black but finally she was Bellatrix Lestrange, and she became a death eater. Wearing her dark mark with pride, she knew she had to keep it secret and hidden but that didn't mean she wasn't proud of it.

Bellatrix soon found herself pregnant with Demetria and Damian, at first she was furious with Rodolphus for getting her pregnant. How could she serve the dark lord while she was pregnant? and she wasn't exactly what you would call mother material. Even her own sister Narcissa said that she doubted that Bellatrix would make a good mother, but she did realize that her children, her twins were maybe the only people that meant more to her than the Dark Lord himself.

Bellatrix went into labor on the 31st October 1979. Demetria was born first and Damian was born 5 minutes after. Bellatrix was a good mother, she had been determined to prove everyone wrong who had said she wouldn't be a good mother. Bellatrix always made sure that Demetria and Damian was well protected and that no harm came to them. When she was doing to death eater duties, which she was still determined to do to prove her support and loyalty to the Dark Lord she would leave Demetria and Damian in the care of her sister Narcissa. Who was at the pregnant with her own child.

Coincidentally when the twins turned 2 years old, it was on their birthday that the Dark Lord was defeated, by the boy who lived as they called him. All the death eaters believed him to be gone, but not Bellatrix no she didn't believe that he was gone. How could a boy just a few months younger than her own children be able to defeat the greatest wizard that the world had ever known?

After a few days Bellatrix was getting desperate she wanted the Dark Lord back, she had to find a way to find him. She took Demetria and Damian to her sister Narcissa's, asked her to look after them. She kissed their foreheads as they slept before she went to the Longbottom's residence with her husband and Barty Crouch Jr. She tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom into insanity.

The war that raged on was a terrible one, but Bellatrix fought long and hard. Anything to avenge her master. It was after having tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom that she was sent to Azkaban for life. She would gladly serve time in Azkaban for her master, she would wait, he would come back for her, her only regret was that she wouldn't be around to see Demetria and Damian as they grew up. Though she had comfort knowing that Narcissa would make sure that they were brought up right and knew all about her and Rodolphus.

She was delighted when she escaped Azkaban early in 1996 along with her husband and other death eaters. She spent what time she could to make up time with Demeter and Damian, while she plotted and planned what to do, they weren't going to fail again.

Now things are finally started to look right and as it should be, The Dark Lord is in control of the wizarding world. Soon there will be no filthy mudbloods - as it should be.

Personality::
Bellatrix is an intensely sadistic witch who at certain points seems mentally unbalanced; for instance, she once killed a fox because she was paranoid it might be an Auror in disguise. Bellatrix could be easily distracted and had a fierce and dangerous temper, a trait that she shares with her cousin Sirius and her aunt Walburga.

She is fanatically devoted to Voldemort, believing that she has proved her loyalty by her time in Azkaban, which seems to have furthered her mental decline. She is one of Voldemort's cruelest Death Eaters, always eager to inflict the Cruciatus Curse on enemies, and likes to believe that she is his most trusted and loyal follower. Bellatrix is a steadfast believer in the supremacy of blood purity, as was taught to her by her family, (She has also taught the same to her own children) and will kill her own family members if they violated this idea, though there are some members of her family that she will hesitate to kill, if she had to, her sister Narcissa been one of them.

Bellatrix is a very talented witch, both an extremely skilled duelist and an legimans and Occlumens. She is described by some as a "witch with prodigious skill and no conscience", proven by her many victories over others. She defeated Aurors, Nymphadora Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt in duels during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, as well as her cousin Sirius (even though she didn't succeed in killing him), and was the only Death Eater to deflect a bolt from Dumbledore himself.

Bellatrix does however has a soft spot for her children, her sister Narcissa and the dark lord.

Appearance

Description::
Bellatrix has thick, curly black hair that falls a few inches below her shoulders. Usually, it is very sloppily put up with clips, or whatever things she can find lying around at the time, her hair always did tangle up very easily so now-a-days it looks like she never brushes it. Of course she does brush it - just not very often, well you wouldn't be able to run your fingers though it that's for sure. Her skin is very fair, and makes her look almost ghost-like in appearance. Her eyes are dark and heavily laiden. She had inherited the black family classic 'great good looks' and arrogant bearings though the years that she spent in Azkaban has robbed her of her former beauty. Her clothes consist only of black dresses, as she finds color far too pointless. She prefers dark colors - always have and always will.

RP Example

Pacing. That seemed to be the only thing that she found comfort in when her husband was away on a mission for the Dark Lord. He had been sent on a mission of utmost importance for their lord in Austria, the tracking, the torture and slaughter of one of the orders men. She knew her husband would of course be successfully, truly who could avoid his wrath? It had been the sort of thing that had attracted her to Rodolphus in the first place. There was no doubt the Lestranges were in the most dysfunctional and strange of relationships. They spent years apart, be it by Azkaban, be it months away on missions and yet they always somehow returned to one another’s arms regardless of whoever else may lay there. It was far more an affair then a marriage though there was no denying on both sides there was more heart involved then either was comfortable with.

Bellatrix let out a sigh and parted the curtains of the window ever so slightly to take a glance at the outside world. It was raining- her favorite weather. Though even her favorite weather couldn't put a smile on her face. Her husband was away and the Dark Lord was was away in France, Bellatrix didn't question the dark lord. They were told to only summon the Dark Lord if they got their hands on Potter.

She scowled and closed the curtain with a snap. Filling the room once again with darkness. She turned round when she heard a noise, a smile crossed her face when she saw it was her daughter, Demetria. "And what are you up to today?"
