spiteful, vindictive, but not crazy, Bellatrix Lestrange

[myl]

Hi. Here's Bellatrix.

She's...
pureblood
death eater
former slytherin
former black
wife to rodolphus lestrange
insanely rich
really vain
extra bitchy with a side of malice
torture queen extraordinaire
and she doesn't like you, or most of the general population.


So let's find something fun to do with her and your character(s).

Oh and btw, I'm myl and I have commandeered the position of Bellatrix. And I probably will throw out most everything you had with your previous Bella's unless it's plot crucial, or canon.
/wipes slate

Ready, set, brilliant plotting go!

Yay! Welcome to the board! ^.^

I'm J (as you know) and I play Bella's FAVOURITE COUSIN ON THE PLANET! Muahaha. *ahem* So Sirius is around for plottage and pokage and suffice it to say the only person he hates more then Bellatrix is ... well, Snape, his mother, etc. But she's high on that list. Obviously, we foresee fluffy bunnies and much affection in their future.

*ahem*

I also play two other crazies. Alannah Morgan, who is a ... veryveryvery minor death eater with perhaps exactly the opposite level Bellatrix's enthusiasm. They might know one another, they might not; I highly doubt they would like each other because Miss Morgan is ... understated, not any manner of a pureblood fanatic and is in a questionable association with an Auror who she SAYS she's stealing information from, but she also spends a questionable amount of time with them. I imagine Bellatrix would look down on her if she knew her at all, and Alannah!muse thinks Bellatrix is crude, loony and a bit scary. No fluffy bunnies here, I'm afraid.

And I have Jungwen Levenworth, Muggleborn, works in the Menagerie, er... steals by night. She works for anyone who hires her and could potentially be used as a pawn, although if she knew she was working for a Death Eater type, she would... not do so. Since, well, her mother was killed by Death Eaters and what not. But she does however do an Auror a favour every now and again, so if Bella feels like she wants stuff stolen from her, or like she wants to be spied on (and maybe she could even catch her, in which case there would be death involved, which I would like to avoid but maybe we can work around that) ... then Jungwen is available.

Anyway, cheers and I hope you have a good time on Sanc!

Yay for hating!
There should be fun times for them. She's probably gotten over the hurt of abandonment by now and has convinced herself that she has always and forever hated him (although I don't believe that to be true as they are far too similar for her to have hater him forever, and any family leaving is harmful to the psyche.)

Bellatrix tends to hate other female Death Eaters for the pure reason she likes to be special to Voldemort and they encroach on her space and position with him. So if one has "questionable" loyalties, Bella will just be waiting for something that can be viewed as a total slip up and cause Alannah to end up dead. Which might translate to Bella showing up randomly on some sort of "mission" that doesn't actually exist and being like...what is going on. I'll leave such things up to you if you want to throw you characters into such drama. But I know Bella always secretly hopes the other female Death Eaters will drop dead.

If Bella could figure out a way to use Jungwen she would, so let me think on that for a bit, because there might be something nice there where Bella tries to use her and then Jungwen finds out the Lestranges are heavy Death Eaters or something and tries to get back at them by stealing or spying and chaos ensues. W'd have to brainstorm to come up with something that Bella could use her for first. And I can probably manage it that Bella doesn't kill Jungwen. Even if Jungwen sees her face, because Bella would be like....no one is going to take yourwork over mine and my money so my secret is safe.

Sorry about the late reply! RL is an interfering bum.

And good. Sirius is pretty sure he's always hated her as well, so I think a great deal of irrationality can ensue... we just need a situation to throw them into, though I suspect something innocuous like bumping into one another in a bookshop could be potentially lethal for the two of them.

I don't really want Alannah dead (yet anyway) xD but I'll keep you updated? In the meanwhile, if you want, they could go on a subtler sort of mission or something and bond over their mutual lack of pleasure at one another's existence. I mean, Alannah does not hate people until they give her reason to, but I don't see that as being a problem with Bellatrix. She would also always be conscious of the hierarchy thing -- I mean she's definitely a very low-rank sort of Death Eater, who probably has to answer TO Bellatrix. No fluffy bunnies here either, sadly.

And Bella should feel free to use Jungwen *nods* I love that scenario entirely -- I mean of her being hired and then later realising the Lestranges are fanatics and stuff, and trying to steal or spy and what not. We do need to brainstorm over what would trigger this, but let's doooo it? *hopeful look* It should be mentioned that Jungwen probably COULD cause some damage if she saw her face -- in the very least she would tell an Auror type who she regularly works for in the same capacity. Though I don't know if they could touch the Lestranges anyway, given the bureaucratic redtape and the crazy Ministry stuff, and yes, the money.

So yes. The moment I can think of a valid reason for Jungwen to have to work for Bella, I'mma PM you. ^^ Lemme know if you have thoughts!

[myl]

I totally feel you. I'm like falling asleep at 11 pm, because people woke me up at 8am and then I worked. /sigh.

Sirius: Running into each other "innocently" would totally cause sparks. I like it. I can try to put Bella in a bookstore in the near future. I am not supposed to work tomorrow so I should have some free time.

Alannah: /nods. No worries. I just have her kill NPC for the most part. It keeps her bloodlust under control. But yes, some sort of mission would be fun. I don't know how much "bonding" would get done. Alannah might find herself accidentally hexed (nothing too serious but painful enough to be amusing)

Jungwen: I'm brainstorming too. Because the idea is so delightful. I want to use it, why is starting always the hardest thing? /sigh

*rushes in, late as ever*

Hi there, Myl! Welcome to the board. I hope you've had a good time so far. I'm Leah, and I currently have two characters for you to play around with.

The first of these is the better Black brother (at least in Bella's opinion, i'm sure), Regulus. Whilst he loves his cousin dearly, he's currently having second thoughts about all of this Death Eater nonsense. Pook kid knows he's in too deep and he's currently thinking of all the ways he can get his pretty little behind out of the hot water. I'm sure there can be many a-thread between these two.

My second character is Marlene McKinnon; Order member and all-round badass. Alright, maybe not really badass, but she's tough enough. She's currently working at Twilfitt and Tattings in the Alley, and she will happily snark with Bella should she need to.

So there we have it. They're both yours should you need them, just hit me up and we'll see what we come up with.

Hi Leah!

Regulus: Of course he's the better Black brother, as Bella views him as the only male Black in her generation. Sirius just doesn't exist. It's so much easier that way. There probably would be many a thread, as Bella believes her cousin should be at about the same level in the Death Eaters as she is. Which Regulus probably doesn't want to be since he's having second thoughts. She won't be of any use in getting him out of hot water, as she would prefer to set him firmly in some hot springs for until the war is over.

Marlene: I don't think Bella would like her at all, even if she didn't know she was an order member, which she might know as order members don't wear masks when they show up to protect innocents and fight the Death Eaters. Right? So Bella might recognize her and not want to be helped by her and demand someone else. Which might be entertaining, having Bella demand other service and Marlene being a snark right back. Nothing would get done but it would be very amusing for us.
