Physical Description:
Belle is very small for her age. She stands at only five-foot-nothing for a sixteen-year-old. She is very thin, though not skeletal-like. Her eyes are dark brown. Her hair is also dark brown, and falls to her lower back in wavy curls. Belle likes to leave her hair down, so she can hide behind it when shy. If she ever ties it back or braids it, there must be a special reason.

Belle does not like attention, and doesn't dress to show off. She likes to wear long skirts, modest shirts, and jeans.

Personality Description:
Belle is quiet, caring, and kind. She will go out of her way to be kind to people, even if they may not deserve it. If one of her friends if having a hard time, she'll hug them until they either smile, or beg her to let them go.

Belle rarely talks above a soft tone, and has a hard time raising her voice, even in anger. If someone is angry with her, she will not try to further their anger by arguing or fighting back. She will simply leave. Belle doesn't like conflict.

Belle focuses on her studies as best she can, but she's a dreamer with a wild imagination, and often gets lost in her own head. That's really the only time she ever gets in trouble, because she'll get lost in thought and not pay attention in class sometimes.

Belle has a passion for books, and rarely is seen without one near or in her hands. The occasional bully will knock them from her arms, or snatch them from her hands when she's reading. Her retaliation is to just pull out another one.

History:
Belle Charlotte Hatter was born during a summer storm on August 14th, 1993. Her mother was over-joyed to finally have Belle in her arms after nine months of carrying her in the womb. Belle's father was absent, having broke up with her mother when he heard that Belle had been conceived.

Belle's mother, Charlotte, raised her by herself in a two-bedroom apartment while working three jobs to pay rent and care for them both. She wanted the best for her daughter, and worked her butt off to pay for Belle to attend a nicer school. Though she only attended the academy for two years before getting her Hogwarts letter.

Charlotte was only slightly surprised to learn that her baby girl was a witch. She'd noticed Belle's ability to do strange things for a few years now, and was glad that she would finally be able to learn about it and control it. Belle was simply excited, and eager to learn magic. Charlotte made sure Belle got all that she needed, and even bought her a cat, along with an owl.

The day Charlotte took Belle to King's Cross Station was a tear-filled one. Charlotte wept the entire day, even after Belle was gone and she had returned home. Belle however, didn't dwell on the separation from her mother. She spent the  train-ride quietly conversing with another girl her age, and petting her cat, Merlin.

Belle did not make a lot of friends her first year at Hogwarts. She was far too shy to even try. But during her second year she made a few friends, though still had a problem with her crippling shyness. Belle gets along wonderfully with her classmates. She doesn't pick fights, and is always there to help out of comfort a friend or classmate if need be. In her fifth year she joined the Astronomy club, which allowed her to make a few more friends and acquaintances. That was also the year she broke her fractured her arm, tripping up the stairs of the Astronomy tower.

While Belle loves to read, she does have an interest in Quidditch. She would never play it seriously, but she loves to watch, and attended each try out session throughout the years just to see the others play.

How Do You Fit Into Your House?:
Belle is very loyal to her friends, kind, and fair. She could never fit into Slytherin. And she's not brave or chivalrous to be in Gryffindor. She's a good student, and smart, but not Ravenclaw material.

Writing Sample:
Belle swung her legs over the side of the bed, ignoring Merlin's meow of protest when the movement of the bed slightly jostled him from his slumber. She rolled her eyes at the short-haired, rather tubby, grey cat and smiled, "It's time to get up buddy.." She whispered, quieter than usual so she didn't wake anyone else up, "And be quiet."

Belle bent to kiss between his ears and gathered her clothes and robe for the day, hurrying to the bathroom to get dressed. When she came out she grabbed her shoes and her shoulder bag, stuffing all her books inside of it, as well as he shoes. Belle never wore shoes down to breakfast, but no one noticed under her robes, and for some reason she felt like she was breaking a rule, going barefoot.

The common room was not empty when she left the room. There were a few other students up and lounging about before breakfast. Some were standing around, others were sitting on the couches by the fireplace. Belle quickly and quietly skirted passed most of them, smiling when one of her friends poked her in the side, trying to get her voice above it's usual tone. He had only succeeded once when he had poked her side during dinner and she'd squealed. He'd been trying to make her do that again for years. Now Belle was used to it, and only smiled at his attempts.

Belle is a kind, loyal person with a quiet demeanor. She cares very much for others. She is muggleborn. She loves books. Also, she has a cat named Merlin.
