About Me
Personality:
Bellatrix is little more than a complete psychopath and is just as merciless and sadistic as Lord Voldemort himself. She 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 have been an Auror. Bellatrix is intelligent, but can be easily distracted, and has a fierce and dangerous temper, a trait that she shares with her cousin Sirius and her aunt Walburga.
She is highly devoted to Voldemort and began life as a death eater after leaving Hogwarts at the age of 18. She is one of Voldemort's most trusted and loyal followers, as well as one of his cruellest Death Eaters, always eager to inflict the Cruciatus Curse on enemies; as Albus Dumbledore said, she likes "to play with her food before she eats it." Harry Potter noted that Bellatrix was as "mad as her master." Bellatrix is a steadfast believer in the supremacy of blood purity, as was taught to her by her family, and seemed particularly eager to kill her own relatives if they violated this ideology.
Appearance:
Bellatrix is described as a tall, beautiful woman with long, thick, shining black hair. She has thin lips, dark, heavy-lidded eyes, and a strong jaw. She has the classic 'great good looks' and arrogant bearing common for members of the House of Black. After becoming a death eater, she was described as having a gaunt and skull-like face, but managed to retain some vestige of her great beauty. Bellatrix is noted to physically resemble her sister Andromeda, as Harry mistook Andromeda for Bellatrix on one occasion. Also, Harry noted that as much as Narcissa is fair as Bellatrix is dark, the two sisters still resembled each other.
History:
Bellatrix was born in 1951 to Cygnus and Druella Black, who raised her to prize her pure-blood heritage. She was the eldest sister to Andromeda and Narcissa, though Bellatrix cut off contact with the former when Andromeda married Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks and was disowned, as she told Lord Voldemort in that neither she nor Narcissa had "set eyes on our sister since she married the Mudblood". Bellatrix also held her cousin Sirius Black in contempt for being a Gryffindor and a "blood traitor".
Bellatrix comes from the elite Black family, and as such she was given a privileged lifestyle. Bellatrix attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Slytherin House. She eventually married Rodolphus Lestrange — a fellow pure-blood, as was expected of her — and when Lord Voldemort first rose to power, she joined the Death Eaters. Unlike her sisters, Bellatrix displayed no outward affection for her husband whatsoever, never even mentioning him in conversation. Her true love was Voldemort, who gave her some training in the Dark Arts, which contributed to her incredible talent as a duelist.

isolation.
there was nothing better for rose at this time. everything in her mind was haunting her, and there was no way for her to sort it out unless she spent some time alone, thinking over some of the things in her head. she was on medication for being so stressed, but they didn't seem to help her much. what was she going to do? she had nobody to talk to. she was alone, and only god knows for how long. each and every day she reminded herself that ben would be back, he's on his way right now.
but he never did come. she missed him so much, and her daughter too. rose cried herself to sleep every night just thinking about them. if only she could have one more day. one more day with them. they could all be one big happy family. but everyone knows that happiness belongs in fairy tales; not in reality. she remembered planning her wedding with ben. she had picked out her beautiful wedding dress and he had his suit ready. artemis was to be the bride's maid and her dress was simply stunning. the flowers, the centre pieces, table cloths, decorations, music.. everything was picked out and ready. but all goods never last.
rose was returning from a late stroll around the lake. it was just as peaceful as it had been last night, but it seemed to be a lot colder than she had remembered it to be. she entered the school and began walking in the direction of her office. she had never favoured the spot in which it was situated. it was often cold and always deserted, but that did prove to be quite useful in some cases. as she arrived to her office, she noticed the door was slightly ajar. she pushed it open a little more and walking inside, noticing that pricilla westwood was holding her favourite picture; the one with her and ben, holding artemis when she was a child. she stood at the door, seeing that pricilla hadn't noticed she was there yet.
