Bella, HADOS

**Full Name** : Belladonna Gabbiani

**Age** : 16

**Appearance** : Bella is a girl of average height and slender build with shaggy pale hair, red eyes, and one awesome peaked witch Hat that she always carts around. She prefers blacks and reds, enjoys dresses and skirts that show off lots of leg, and wears long elbow length gloves and thigh high boots. Compared to her sister, she's actually more slim and less curvy, though you wouldn't know it seeing how she's happy to give you a tease of what she's got to offer.

**Personality** : A loud, brash girl, Bella is always one to run first, leap second, and then *maybe* question it later if she isn't already halfway into the Next Cool Thing. She doesn't care so much about studying as getting stuff done, is vain about her appearance, and always thinks she's the coolest girl in school, despite any possible evidence to the contrary. She finds her sister Beth shy and reserved to the point of distress, at times.

**Backstory** : Growing up without a mother and with a busy, distant father, Bella was left to raise herself and keep an eye on her sister Beth, who seemed to think she had to be the Responsible Big Sis and take care of everything. Their father Luciano is a busy, important man in the world, always off doing something awesome and daring. However, when he comes home he's always had plenty of time for Bella, and always pushes her into being as strong as she could be. He probably has something cool lined up for them when they graduate, so why worry about things too much, yeah?

**Equipment** : A thick knobbly wooden staff/club and her Cool Sweet Hat, a memento from their late mother. She claims her Hat is the source of her power ~~It's totally not~~.

**Born** : Though they were actually born in Geo City, their father clawed his way out of the commoner lifestyle he started in and moved the family to Silver City after their mother died. It *probably* didn't help that Bella had found a young dragon sleeping in a mine and the mysterious fire afterwards...

**Philosophy Followed** : Unlawful

**Main Power** : *Impulse* : Bella is something of a beast tamer, and her primary "pet" is a female dragon named Impulse, roughly the size of a minivan. Normally a lazy thing that likes sleeping in the sun, Impulse can be quite protective of Bella when her mistress is threatened. When roused, she is incredibly powerful and nearly impervious to direct damage, though much weaker to magical effects and not that nimble. She especially doesn't like the cold, it makes her sleepy and sluggish. Bella and Impulse both generally prefer to bowl through obstacles rather then avoid them, battering them down with powerful bites, slashing claws, buffeting wings, and heavy, strategically placed strikes from Bella's club. Bella *can* communicate with, understand, and to some extent influence other animals other then Impulse, but it mostly involves getting them to do what she'd like, rather then any sort of direct control over them. She could calm a raging bear, or direct it to attack someone else, but she couldn't have it do anything too complex like stand guard and keep specific people away, for example.

**Minor Power** : *Firestarter* : Bella has a natural affinity for fire and can create it at will, able to create spurts of fire from simply snapping her fingers. Her staff is used to help create bigger effects, slamming it into the ground or the target to create thick billows of flame; with Impulse's help with big gusts from her wings, they can fan it into a raging inferno. Also, Bella has a tendency to smell a little like a well seasoned bonfire, even when fresh from the shower. She does not consider this a downside, though.

**Weakness/drawback** : Impulse is a relatively young dragon, as they go, so she has no breath weapon or other magical abilities yet; she's really just a big, strong flying lizard at the end of the day. A big lizard that Bella has to feed and care for, and rides on the back of; though Impulse's wings mostly keep her safe, she's hardly 'protected' back there. She's also weak to magical or energy based effects, since she can't really avoid them and her scales don't off much protection yet; perhaps that will change with age, but isn't much help now. As mentioned, ice and cold is a particular bane for Impulse; she gets tired and slow and sluggish, to the point where just flying can be difficult if it's cold enough, let alone heavy combat. In addition Bella's fire creation skills are just that; *creation*, not *control*. Fire is meant to be free, so she while she can keep it from burning herself, Impulse, or her sister Beth, that's usually about it as control goes. The bigger the effect she makes, the bigger the damage, but also the bigger the chance to burning the entire countryside to the ground.

**Resistances** : Bella's good against fire! And... she's pretty tough and able to take more hits then her small frame would suggest, but she's not invulnerable by any means. Impulse is nearly resistant to all forms of physical damage when her blood is riled up, though, so that helps.

**Other Character** : Bella's twin sister Beth. They live in the same dorm, but Bella needs a double room to herself since Impulse takes up more then half of it.
