[Plus] Bellatrix :: Lady Soan [APPROVED, 5-4]

________________________________________________

• Name: Bellatrix Riven Soan
• Age: 709
• Gender: Female

________________________________________________

• Personality: Bella, after dying, has been more quiet and submissive then she usually is. Tranquil and almost fearful, she seems to hide from everything and everyone, even should they present themselves as nice. The only things that she knows won't harm her are animals, children and elderly people. So anyone from the age of 12 and those that look not older then 70 tend to be shafted. But once people get behind that seemingly hesitance to interact, Bella is a very unique girl. She's very bright and sometimes bouncy, like a normal girl should : however, she tends to be quiet and reflective, if not a bit dutiful. That quietness is mostly her emotions being muted by the fact she's been dead for too long for her tastes, and yet doesn't want to seem to move on, as something important to her heart still stays in her.

________________________________________________

• Background: Bellatrix Riven Soan was born to a woman and a man. The man, her father, left when she was barely five, which she knew was strange for him, but it didn't matter. Her mother was always Mother, and nothing more : Bellatrix felt a sort of dettachement to her mother. But that was because from the moment she could hold and walk, Bellatrix had been handed a sword. The blades she was given held a single warning from her mother : these blades were her life, to lose them she would forfeit it. So from a young age, the girl was heavily trained into combat, or at least, the perception of it. Her mother was the child of a line of blacksmiths, and a cult of sword weilding women : she was the head priestess. And of course, Bellatrix was the next in line for that cult, as she trained relentlessly. But Bella found herself with an affinity for making and weilding at the same time : it was a dual function of swords, and it worked well for her.

Apart from that, her life was normal, at least, normal in the sense of long living. She graduated from school over and over, switching areas with her mother and enrolling at schools more times then she could count. However, about 400 years ago, Bellatrix was caught in the sudden World War : she was a victim, having died. Her iron will prevented her from fading into the pitt of souls, and she scampered to Karakura, hiding herself, living as a plus. Conserving her energy was learned quickly, which is why she managed to survive this long. She has about 4 links of her spirit chain remaining : strangely, Bellatrix started out with a really long chain, maybe because of a strong bond to life? She's unsure but it doesn't matter.

Refined details have faded, and such is what her life is to her. But she's still searching : for she lost her sword.. and thus she believes her life was forfeit, and simply wishes to recover her blade once more. If only to pass peacefully. Sometimes, she suffers deep nightmares or day dreams as such, and sees events.. but she isn't sure if they are real or not, maybe repressed memories? In the end, Bellatrix is only concerned about her sword.

• Roleplay Sample: The girl couldn't touch much : but her fingers wrapped around that shaft of a pole, remembering what she learned in her body. It was almost instinct, as she heard the howling creature once more. The black haired girl looked from side to side, and then her body pushed forward, running. It was exhausting : she knew she had to conserve her energy as much as possible, but right now, it was either kill or be killed, as her breath was hissing in her chest, like a burning feeling. She still felt very much alive, but yet, she understood something else. She was dead, of course, but she had survived for a long time without succumbing to either after death options. That very will was strong, as she kept running, hearing the hollow's howl. Karakura was safe from invading hollow but it had the boxed in effect : when someone died and became a hollow, it made the streets dangerous. But usually not for long : there were a lot of people here able to cast away hollows. It was surprising, but the girl kept running, her breath hissing.

The pole was shaking with the effort, as she dipped behind a garbage dump. That's when she heard the sounds of a scuffle : closing her eyes, she could hear a sword. It was a Zanpakto : a broadsword type too. She could tell by the rings of the metal against the hollow, and the swish of air. She knew blades, so very well : it was uncanny how the plus knew blades. Her mother had a line of blacksmiths in her blood, tracing so very far back to other countries : and her father.. had come into her life a swordsman, and wandered out one. The girl glanced over the dump, to see the combat : though it was too far. She just had good hearing, but with a push, she was off running away, quiet as a mouse. That was also in her blood : but that was the crux of the thing. She lived by the sword, and wished she had died by it : but that didn't matter. She was alright.

She had escaped again, tension leaving her, as she began to rest, the pole still by her side, held like a blade. Live and die by the sword : the blades are your companions, for a sword never betrays a loyal master. The blade is but your will extended, and with it, your purpose is clear. So she is lost : that much was evident.. for she had no blade. She had no will. What a sortid state of affairs. A sudden sound had her body tense : she cursed for letting herself relax too early, as she waited, for the figure that had made such a sound. She would not speak, but shrink in the shadows, wishing to disapear briefly from them. If only to get away : not a coward, but strategic retreat was also part of the sword, for a broken blade was more shameful then retreat.
