I'll be copying and pasting a lot of stuff I found on research. :]]]
[glow=red,2,300]name:[/glow] Bellatrix Lestrange
[glow=red,2,300]nickname:[/glow] Lestrange, Bella, Murderer, and some very untame names.
[glow=red,2,300]age: [/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]blood:[/glow] pure
[glow=red,2,300]desired profession:[/glow] Achieved, Death Eater.
[glow=red,2,300]why you want that job and why you feel you deserve it: [/glow]Voldemort's right hand, Why:It is stated repeatedly during the series that Bellatrix is fanatically devoted to Voldemort to the point of obsession: she proudly boasts to Harry of having been personally taught the Dark Arts by Voldemort himself; she comments that, if she had sons, she would willingly give them into the service of the Dark Lord; and, most notably, she willingly boasted of her service to him even as she was being sentenced to Azkaban. She also sputters in her meeting with Snape at Spinner's End that, "The Dark Lord has, in the past, entrusted me with his most precious-", though she never clarifies this further (presumably it was the Horcrux in her vault at Gringotts). The author also let note that Bellatrix speaks to Voldemort "as if to a lover".
[glow=red,2,300]personality:[/glow] Demonic, Cold, Insane, Heartless, Scatterbrained, Rude. Along with :The narrative suggests several times that Bellatrix is psychotic. For example, during the scene in the Department of Mysteries, Rowling writes Bella as having "mad eyes" and a "fanatical glow" in her face; she loses all self-control whenever Harry "besmirches" Voldemort's name. The author also implies that the female Death Eater is a sadist, as she enjoys using the Cruciatus Curse on victims and delights in torture and pain. She despises simply killing her victims, instead delighting in "playing with her food before she eats it", as Dumbledore remarks to Snape in the last book. In The Half-Blood Prince, Bellatrix is described as "snarling", "passionate" and that "in her fury, she looked slightly mad". She also has a fierce and dangerous temper, a trait she shares with several characters of her kin. The battle at the Ministry seemed to have affected her judgement, making her even more paranoid: while pursuing her sister Narcissa, she mistakes a fox for a diguised Auror, only realizing it is not after she has killed it. She also constantly suspects that Snape is Dumbledore's spy (which ultimately proves to be true).
[glow=red,2,300]likes:[/glow] Torturing, cruelty, anything against Potter, The Dark Lord and anything affiliated with him, doing the Dark Lords bidding, pain.
[glow=red,2,300]dislikes:[/glow] Harry Potter, and his entourage.
[glow=red,2,300]strengths:[/glow] Bellatrix is written by Rowling as a very skilled witch. A trophy awarded to "Bellatrix Black" can be seen in the "Fan Sites" section of J.K. Rowling's official website, implying she was an accomplished student. She is also written as a very powerful duelist as, during the course of the novels, she managed to finish Sirius Black and defeat several Aurors -including Tonks, Kingsley, and Frank and Alice Longbottom- (the Aurors are considered the elite unit in Magical Law Enforcment), and also a werewolf and several Snatchers. It is also noteworthy that when Dumbledore arrives at the Ministry to fight the Death Eaters, she is the only one able to deflect his spell. During the final battle scene in Deathly Hallows, Bellatrix single-handedly duels three opponents at the same-time: Hermione, Ginny and Luna, and the author said she is equal in power to the three of them combined while using a wand that wasn't hers. Furthermore, she is apparently adept at using normal weapons such as knives. Rowling also implied in the sixth installment that Bellatrix was skilled in Occlumency as her nephew Draco was able to protect his mind from Snape, who guessed that it was Bellatrix herself who taught the boy this art.
[glow=red,2,300]weaknesses:[/glow] She believes she has none.
[glow=red,2,300]physical appearance:[/glow] Refer to sig, please.
[glow=red,2,300]history & family: [/glow] Bellatrix Black was born to Cygnus and Druella (Rosier) Black in 1951. Her given name translates exactly from Latin as the feminine form of the noun "warrior". Like many members of the Black family, Bellatrix is named after a star: Bellatrix, also known as Gamma Orionis, is one of the brightest stars in the constellation Orion.
Bellatrix is related by blood and marriage to many characters in the novels: she has two younger sisters, Andromeda and Narcissa. Bellatrix married Rodolphus Lestrange after leaving Hogwarts "because it was expected of her" to marry a pure-blood though, as Rowling stated in an interview, Bella's love was given to Voldemort and Voldemort alone. Andromeda married a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks, and was subsequently disowned by the Blacks; Narcissa married Lucius Malfoy, heir of a wealthy pure-blood family. Bellatrix is also a first cousin to Sirius (protagonist Harry Potter's godfather) and Regulus Black, and an aunt to Nymphadora Tonks and Draco Malfoy.
It is suggested in the novels that, as a student, Bellatrix associated with a group of students - including Rodolphus Lestrange, Snape, Avery, Evan Rosier and Wilkes - who nearly all became Death Eaters. It is assumed Bellatrix was at least initially drawn to Lord Voldemort because they both believe in an ideology that favors pure-blood wizards and witches over other members of the community. This elitism, shared by the Malfoy and Lestrange clans, was instilled in Bellatrix since childhood. The Black family motto, "toujours pur" (French for "always pure"), reflects this steadfast belief in blood purity. Bellatrix, her husband and her brother-in-law were active Death Eaters in Voldemort's rise to power, and evaded capture and suspicion until after the Dark Lord's downfall at the beginning of the series.

Bellatrix waltzed through the Malfoy manor in rage. She swung the door open to Lucius' study with a screetch. Her blonde cousin looked up at her from his desk, a look of surprise. "I would have thought you overjoyed, my cousin." He said cooly, pushing his reading glasses up on his nose. Bellatrixs' eyes widened in their fury as her clawes fingers dashed to her wand. "Be wary, Lucius. For your luck will be cut short. You are safe from my wand only now because of dear Narcissa..." She warned. Malfoy raised a platinum brow. "Is that so?" He asked, challenging her. "Why are you so troubled?" He asked. "I have been informed the Dark Lord was called.. It is said that you claim Harry Potter has arrived." She snapped, her eyes flashing pure madness.
Lucius stood, placing his hand behind his back. "Oh but he has arrived. I hold him prisoner as we speak." He stated in his usual, 'I'm better than you' tone. Bellatrix grinned wildly, "The Dark Lord will be pleased!" She screamed in glee! She wrapped her arms around herself in a hug. Malfoy watched her all to coldly. "You'll not be taking any credit for it, however." He said through his teeth. Bellatrix paused, her stance tightening. "I don't need your false accusations, Lucius.. You weren't the one to catch little 'ol Potter.." She said snidely. Lucius pulled his own wand in sudden anger. "You'll keep your mouth shut, Lestrange!" He shouted. "Oh will I now?" she asked, giddy in his sudden rage. She chuckled madly, "Oh dear Lucius.. I can see it now. 'My lord it was I who found the boy on my property.' " Bellatrix cooed, sarcastically. Lucius sent a curse at her, and she waved it off as if he'd thrown a pebble at her. "Oh you say someone has told you otherwise, my lord?" She said, still mocking her cousin.
Lucius growled to himself, sending another curse at her. Which of course she dodged once more. "And then we come around the corner, your wife and I, seeing poor Lucius at our Lords feet. A heep of nothing. Dead!" She said excitedly. Lucius growled "Avada Kedavra!!" Bellatrix again dodged his curse. "Crucio!" She screamed, watching Malfoy fall to the ground in a screaming heep of pain. She grinned down over him, "You see, Lucius.. You need me. Tell the Dark Lord I brought him to you, to imprison until he could arrive.." She spat down at him. She still held a grin as Narcissa bulged into the room panic written all over her face. She glanced from her husband to her cousin. "Tell your dearest.. That it'll be me who confides in the Dark Lord the truth of how Harry Potter came into his clutches.." She glanced back down at Lucius. "The Dark Lord dows not reward blank faced lies.." she spat, leaving the two Malfoys in the room. She could still feel the adreniline pulsing through her veins. She was torture drunk. It had been quite some time since she got the chance to cause someone pain..
