→ Her Personality Belle is a kind and shy spirit compared to her warlock brothers and sisters. She’s simple and open, wanting to live her life to the fullest. She possesses a strong intellect and a sharp, witty demeanor. She is very forgiving and straightforward but can at times be perceived as aggressive, especially when she is hurt and finally speaks from the heart. Her soft nature is often taken for granted. Before she learned of her powers, she was a bit of a loner, and became increasingly isolated as she experienced the symptoms of being a Creator. Once found and over the course of her training, Belle developed a deeper passion for being a warlock and familial love for the supernatural community. She grew into a vibrant and confident woman and found a new popularity amongst others of her kind. She also developed a sense of responsibility, helping her mentor with the other mentees and taking on jobs related to her powers within the warlock and witch community.

→ Her Connections
Parent Names:
Velma Cunningham (Mother): Velma was there throughout Belle’s long stays at the hospital, unclear diagnostics and sleepless nights. Once Belle learned about the supernatural life, she knew she couldn’t leave her mother behind and took her along with her. They have a strong bond and unbreakable bond. However, with her mother nearing her mid-80s, Belle has become increasingly worried for her health.
Sibling Names:
None
Children Names:
None
Romantic Connections:
Maya ‘Flower’ Hanes (Girlfriend): Belle and Flower had to overcome a lot at the beginning of their relationship, between both of them being closeted, Flower being engaged and terrified of commitment, and the ever evolving issues with Belle’s powers. A part of Belle thinks since they made it through that, there’s nothing they can’t face with each other. Belle loves her sarcasm and originality, and just how special she is when no one is looking. She just likes being around her, whether they’re both working quietly, lying around in bed or hanging out at a bar.
Platonic Connections:
Eric Lasiter (Mentor): Eric has always treated her with respect. Most of her life she was used to being talked down to or treated like she didn’t understand what was happening with her own body. Eric listened to her requests to keep her mother around, and helped her find a way to work around her disabilities. She has a lot of respect for him, and appreciates he’s never tried to act like her father.
Ashley Malone (Friend): Ashley has only been studying with Eric for a few years, but she has worked closely with her in developing Ashley’s power. They don’t have the same close connection that she and Chai do, but Belle thinks she’s a good egg.
Chai Gates (Good Friend): When Eric was too busy or clueless on what to do with Belle, Chai was always around to take her out or teach her shortcuts to her powers. Chai is the older sister Belle never had. They have a close sisterly bond.
Arianna Garcia (Best Friend): Ari being around her age was probably a big factor of why they clicked easily and have been friends for decades. Their friendship has never dulled and they can send over 300 text messages to each other in a day.
Judson Cleirigh (Retailer): Belle sells her products out of her home but also sells most of her makings out of Wondering Worlds of Magic.
Amberlynn Chase (Friend): Amber and Belle met at Lollapalooza a couple of years ago. They kept running into each other at different stages and then started seeing each other after various concerts. Now Amber is the first person Belle calls if she wants to check out a new band or go to a concert.
Simon Lee Weyden (Friend): Belle met Simon through her relationship with Flower. At first their friendship was strained; only communicating in mutual sitting where Flower was involved. But that quickly changed when they attended a Linkin Park concert together; which Flower and the rest of their group pulled out randomly.
Jia Hu Cleirigh (Supporter): Jia saw her and Flower together, back when Flower was technically engaged to Audo Wilhelm and neither of them were out. He’s been a silent supporter, offering them guidance when needed and using whatever influence he has to keep any older Wilhelms out of their way.
Lawrence Cocci (Friend): When they met, Lawrence was performing a magic trick that was reckless and involved fire. It was the first time Belle had seen magic performed in the open nearly 50 years ago. She quickly stuck by his side and made sure to attend every event Lawrence was on the guest list for.
Gretchen Sims (Friend): Gretchen is always an easy person to talk, sober or high, and she never feels pressured around her. Gretchen has introduced her to a lot of natural healing like yoga that has helped her immensely with her healing.
Esther Yoo (Friend): Belle was at a local bar when she heard Esther play for the first time. She thought she was incredible and had Gretchen introduce the two of them. She tries to attend every show of Esther’s and Flower even got her to record a CD for her Christmas present last year.
Shannon Harris (Good Friend): She and Shannon met at an art class about 5 years ago. Shannon looked uncomfortable and so Belle went over and sat down next to her. They talked most of the night and when Flower came to help her home, Shannon asked if she did the class regularly. They reconnected afterwards and became surprisingly close friends, and Belle acts as a sounding board for a lot of the stress Shannon feels.
Emmett Wilhelm (Trainer): She asked Emmett to start training her last year, and only now did the council approve it. They all think she’s too young, but Emmett has never denied her any experiences that a Seeker must go through since they’ve begun training.
Chiara Ricci (Friend): She met the vampire the first time she went down to the Underground. They clicked fast and Belle tried to make it down at least once every two weeks to hang out with her.
Hostile Connections:
None
Pets:
Mike (Maine Coon Cat): The first thing Belle did when she got better was adopt a cat.
→ History Belle, like most witches and warlocks, never knew her father. It never made much difference to her. Her mother Velma created all the love that she needed and provided the best she could for her daughter. However there was nothing she could really do when Belle started getting sick. At first it was common clumsiness that happens when children learn to move, but then it evolved into numbness and then eventually severe pain and weakness. Belle’s once bright and playful childhood began to be weekly doctor’s visits and constant pain. No one could discover what was wrong with her body and By the time she was 16 she practically lived at the hospital and was emotionally unable to handle it anymore. No one believed her symptoms were real because she couldn’t find any explanation for them. She lost the cool, positive outlook she had in life and the pressure of not knowing what was wrong with her began eating away the last of her emotional stability. It wore on her mother and the doctors and Belle developed anxiety over everything within the medical community. At 17, Belle had lost most of her desire to fight, until she met Dr. Kudzai Rinker. She asked her to start from the beginning and spent hours writing everything down. Then she took her mother aside. When they returned, her mother had tears in her eyes and Kudzai came over to Belle. She moved her hands along her back, and Belle found the constant pain from the last decade gone. She became overwhelmed and Kudzai explained everything.
A week later, after daily treatments from Kudzai, Belle left the hospital and met with the Council. They explained more in-depth and looked at her mark to verify she was a first generation. Then they discussed the best course of action and who could take her in. Though she was in pain, the thought of losing her mom terrified her. In the midst of the discussion, Eric Lassiter came in. There was a vague acknowledgement as he walked in, but they all seemed surprised when he spoke to her. He offered her a spot training under him, speaking to her rather than about her, and she said yes. When they discussed it later he promised she could stay with her mother and that they’d figure out a plan for her physical therapy. Eric began training her almost immediately and though she’d never done any accidental magic before, she found that she picked up the basics quickly.
She trained thoroughly for the next 40 years, and found herself blossoming. For the first time ever, Belle had friends who took her out to bars and went to concerts and taught her how to have fun. Her mobility was sometimes a challenge, but many of them just helped her work around it. Though she had an active and popular social life, she had never been romantically interested in anyone. About 10 years ago she met Flower in a bar and instantly clicked with her. They started spending time together more and more often. Belle talked about the craziness of her life, Flower talked about the Wilhelms and her asshole fiancée. That nearly broke Belle’s heart, but she was resolved to be there for her friend and shove any feelings down for her. That stopped soon after Flower cornered her and kissed her, and admitted everything about her family. Neither of them were out and Flower was betrothed. They started dating in secret and kept their relationship under wraps, as best friends. 3 years ago, Flower talked Belle into coming out of the closet about their relationship. First, Flower told her fiancée and the two came to the conclusion that they will never be together or get married; and continue to tell both of their families. After the Wilhelms were notified, Belle and Flower told the rest of their friends and family. They have been openly together ever since.
→ The Present At first Velma tried to hide her sickness and old age from Belle but as her symptoms took a turn for the worst, everyone in their community could tell, including Belle. Belle has stepped up to the plate, taking care of her mother like she once took care of her. Her friends are trying to convince her that it is a part of life and that her mother cannot be saved. Belle, however, has been inquiring to Kudzai and the local necromancer, Ronan, about possibly saving her mother's life. She isn’t ready to let her mother go.
Belle has recently begun her training as a Seeker. She wants to help find other witches and warlocks. She knew her own pain and the worry she caused her mother before finding out she was indeed a warlock. Belle hopes she can save others from the same pain and feeling of being alone. Emmett and Eric are concerned about her health issues and constant need for physical therapy which doesn’t line up with a Seeker lifestyle.
