Description (if an NPC) or name of your creator/gifter(if a PC): Belinda's mother Kalissa Blackwood is her gifter. Belinda's mother never told her she was a werewolf; her mother was part of the Kadzait Pack. She went through the civil war and waited to make sure the pack was stable and there was no retaliation from a fanatical 'Liam-supporter'. Unfortunately her father then objected to his daughter being gifted. When her mother was dying (Belinda's father had stabbed her several times with a silver dagger to stop the gifting) Belinda snuck past her father and went to her mother's deathbed and Kalissa bit her feeling it was the safest thing she could do for her daughter now she was not going to be around.

Personal Questions

1. Describe your character's personality: Belinda inherited the Blackwood tongue she is snide and rude and pretends to think she is better than everyone else. This covers up her soft squishy feelings that are always threatening to be hurt or damaged by others. Being as the Blackwood's are a wealthy family they have very little taste for anything not like them so she got good at pretending to be what they want all the time. She is extremely smart but hides it by acting like she knows nothing for fear it will segregate her from her peers.

2. Describe how your character would appear to a stranger (I.E. typical dress, way they carry themselves etc.) Belinda tends to dress like a model on the runway. She has no need for 'casual' or 'practical wear'. Heals, dresses, skirts generally in vivid hues for more attention, she prides herself on her jimmy choo's and coach hand bags. She is confident and clearly looks down upon everyone.


3. What does your character like? Shopping, attending social events, anything that gives her attention; sweets, money, boys, using big words, poetry, reading, low-fat mocha lattes


4. Dislike? Anyone who takes that attention away from her, dirt, sweat suits, broken nails, working, her father, flats, poor people, pets, any food that comes from a box (accept chocolate pudding)

5. (For humans) Describe what abilities you see your character having if they were turned. N/A


6. What are your fears?[INDENT]- Fear of poverty: She is too accustomed to her current life style to loose it!
- Fear of rejection/not being accepted: Mostly stems from her father not acknowledging her success as a student. He ignored her achievements which lead her to believe they were not socially acceptable.
- Fear of Being Alone: She has spent her entire youth going from boarding school to boarding school. The only close relationships she had were with her cousins during the summer. She secretly fears being alone forever and everyone leaving her behind.
- Fear of Insects. They are dirty and gross!

[/INDENT]7. What are your character's strengths and weaknesses?[INDENT]Extremely intelligent: Belinda attended one of the best universities in the world. She graduated from boarding school at 14 and graduated from University (Studied Psychology) at 18. She generally hides this fact for fear people ostracize her for her brain. One of her biggest fears is being rejected.
[/INDENT][INDENT]Manipulative: Belinda knows how to get what she wants. She knows how to use feminine charms, words, and even money to get everything she desires. She grew up watching her father manipulate their entire world this way. As handy as it can be this gets in the way of her relationships. People do not always like being manipulated and they can't see past it to her vulnerability it really hides.

Appreciation of beauty (Aesthetics): Scientifically defined as the study of sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment and taste. Belinda is a great judge of art, clothing, food, books and people. She appreciates the beautiful and fine things in life that are around her thanks to her father's money. Because of this she has a hard time accepted anything of lesser quality which can offend and make others withdraw from her.

Resilient: In spite of her cushy rich upbringing Belinda is extremely resilient and copes with stress well. Growing up her father placed huge amounts of stress on her to be the perfect daughter, student, young lady, so on and so forth. Belinda's sarcasm and quick mind /tongue are her sword and shield protecting her from her people like her father. Unfortunately it also has no ability to tell friend from foe and has carried over to the rest of the world's population.

Self-Confident: Belinda carries herself like a queen among peasants, she knows her. Nothing seems to shake her and on the outside this is true but on the inside she is afraid and hides behind her inflated ego to keep people at a distance.

Organized: Belinda does not like disorder or mess in her life.

Judgmental: Belinda takes things at face value mostly because this is how she has been judged her entire life. She fails to see that taking a few moments can reveal the most mysterious things about people and things.

Personal History:

Belinda's father is the 3rd son of a Titled Lord. He grew up the '2nd spare'. He generally loathed his older brothers and father. On his own he became quite rich through investments and lord only knows what else. He is a master manipulator. He met Belinda's mother while visiting his Country Estate. He was instantly taken with her they were wed quite quickly but she always refused to go in to the city. He became suspicious when she disappeared every month for 3 nights. It became apparent something was wrong and she explained everything and that she was also having his child. She was going to leave but he begged her to stay and told her he would not speak of it again. After the birth she insisted the truth be kept form her daughter the pack had been through trouble and it was easier to keep her husband and child out of it.

Belinda spent her childhood in a boarding school deemed appropriate for her 'station'. Dyeing to get out of the place Belinda excelled at her studies. She graduated early and attended Cambridge University. Her father was barely pleased and pushed her to be better, brighter, etc. Belinda was more prone to hide her brilliant mind and focus on her friends and social background. She never noticed her mother's odd behavior because she was sent away so much to school or one of her uncle's homes for the summer.

As Belinda drew closer to her 20th birthday her mother began discussing gifting her with her true heritage. She wanted to have her daughter around more and introduce her to her pack, her family. Her father became distant and refused. Belinda's mum loved him but as more time went on she felt he was keeping Belinda from her.

Her father was quite selfish and could only see that his family would do to him if they ever found out his daughter was a werewolf. After one long fight with Belinda's mum he realized he wouldn't be able to control he situation forever. He had seen his wife during a full moon in the distance and knew he was no match for her. So he took a silver knife and snuck in to her room. He stabbed her several times leaving. When it became apparent the wounds were fatal as he wished and his wife was quite delirious he called for his daughter. Belinda rushed to her mother's bedside. Her father not figuring there was much danger left them alone and in last conscious effort Belinda's mum bit her. Her father came in just in time and pulled Belinda away from her mum. They struggled she had no idea what was going on. The servants intervened and took her to her rooms and looked at her wound.

She kept distance from her father figuring it was grief that drove his behavior. One of the servants left a few of her mother's personal objects. She began to feel odd... remembering, feeling, impressions that were not hers. She sought out her father to talk to him about it but the moment she saw him she was repulsed she had never felt anything like that before. Compelled by this emotion, her stomach turned as she returned to her rooms.

Frantically she sorted through her mums things and she found a picture of her mum with another man the name "Nachton�? was scrawled on the back. She hoped to find family or something to explain what was going on.
