District One Female: Belladonna Cranium

Author: TheShakespeareWoman

Name: Belladonna Cranium

Age: Eighteen

Sex: Female

District: One

Physical Description:  Belladonna always wanted to live up to the spectacular name her parents  gave her and so, she's quite proud of her beautiful appearance. Her  eyes are big, round and deeply dark brown, matching her rather strong  eyebrows and feathery black lashes. Her jet-black hair falls down to her  shoulders in slight waves, but Belladonna mostly prefers to keep it up  in big and fancy hairdos. According to that, she loves wearing tight,  dark or just impressive clothes and glimmering jewellery. Her lips are  full and mostly pulled into a well knowing smirk. Standing a pretty  middle height, her body shape is rather curvy, her skin being coldly  pale and perfectly smooth. Her facial features are edgy and pretty  sharply curved too, however, her perfectly focused death stare makes her  appearance really stunning.

Personality:  Belladonna is a true devil and works very hard to accomplish her great  goal of living the life of a super-villain. The young woman from One is  extremely devious, manipulative, ruthless and fierce and yet, her  incredibly enigmatic, cunning, calculating and intelligent mind gives  her the power to easily trick people into false conclusions within a  heartbeat. Her personality can furthermore be described as ruthless and  very cold, happy to control people who fear her or not. However,  Belladonna is a master of ravishing. She enjoys reading people and  casting her spell over them to make them bow to her and adore her, only  to stab them in the back and laugh at them as soon as she gets the  chance to.
Belladonna also appears to be an excessive drama queen and  diva, however, people mostly enjoy her behaviour, because it's, even  though often rather mean, never tasteless and stupid, but always  entertaining and mature.
In order of being a true villain, however,  the young woman isn't afraid of death in slightest. Same can be said  about killing. She could be described as a bit insane, quite sadistic  and psychopathically overreacting sometimes. Being pretty arrogant, she  also doesn't care when people insult her, but when things get too bad,  she'll perfectly plan their murder in silence though. Of course, her  personality also includes sarcasm, irony and a love for being vengeful  and cynical. Many people are scared of her, because she seems impossible  to control. However, Belladonna only just thinks that most people  wandering around on the planet are too dumb and far too boring to invest  time in them. If she finds someone she deems as worthy, these people  might experience a very great time with her.

Background:  Coming from a typical family of District One, Belladonna didn't only get  a quite special name, but also the matching upbringing. With her  parents being leaders of one of the biggest economy businesses in One,  Belladonna didn't only get all the chances she desired, but also one of  the most essential things for her later job- a hint of fame. People of  her District knew her name due to her parents and automatically  connected it with professionalism. Belladonna grew up together with her  twin sister who first used to work in the company of their parents, but  left the family shortly after her eighteenth birthday to travel to the  poorer regions of Panem to help the people living there. Both sisters  graduated from school early, shortly before their sixteenth birthday and  because her parents had a lot of friends in the District, Belladonna  met a dominatrix one day, talked to her and immediately fell in love  with this specific profession. She started being a mistress herself and  developed all the attributes needed shortly after her sixteenth  birthday, however, her age limit for customers was sixteen to eighteen  by then. Surprisingly many people secretly came to her to use the  business and when she turned eighteen, Belladonna's age limit went up to  twenty-four. When she was around seventeen, she met a girl who was  highly interested in her profession and soon moved in with her and some  more time later, became the love of her life. Belladonna was dearly  surprised of herself, but she learnt to truly love her girlfriend  Seraphin more than anything or anyone.

Reaped/Volunteered: Volunteered

Reason: First,  because Belladonna is always up for a good show, as well as some drama,  and in the arena she would get the chance to combine it with murder, a  funny and villainous game. Second, because she ultimately realised that  the wish would be the only chance for acceptance, not only for her  profession, but much more for her love.

Strengths:

Insomniac features-  although it can't be seen as a full Insomnia and Belladonna can,  technically seen, sleep when she desires to, it makes her feel not as  comfortable as normal people and so, she turned it into a strength and  is now perfectly able and willingly to stay awake all the time

Swiftness- Belladonna is an extremely fast runner and climber and her fighting moves tend to be precise and swift too

Seduction and reading people- she loves to deduce people and ravish them with these deductions to make them fall for her

Fearlessness- She will  hardly ever back away from any dangerous plan, being very ruthless and  rather making fun of things instead of fearing them

Weaknesses:

No feeling for limits-  Belladonna always wants a good show. For this, she would do a lot of  drama and sometimes also too much. She tends to make situations too  dangerous and hardly ever sees her own limits. She also hardly ever  realises any danger and tries to play it down, which can be problematic  in some situations, e.g. when someone is seriously hurt and she denies  too see it the way it is

Not used to nature-  Coming from the luxury of One and having fully enjoyed it her whole  life, she really isn't prepared for living in the bare nature, where you  have to make things yourself and from the scratch, instead of having  them provided

Mercilessness- Belladonna tends to act and judge too quickly and for a good show, she'd kill even if it's unnecessary.

Weapon: preferably a riding crop, but whips, short blades and clamps work just a fine, she likes being creative

Token: a  beautiful, black and golden mask. Belladonna has several masks in her  inventory, but none of them is as beautiful as the one her girlfriend  gave to her for their first anniversary. It covers only the eyes and the  beginning of the nose and the base was handmade in the rural regions  were her sister works. She brought it to the District centre and gave it  to Seraphin, thinking it might be a nice idea to adorn it and make it a  gift.

Wish: To be  allowed to marry her girlfriend and live in peace and acceptance with  her. Surprisingly enough, her wish seems rather sentimental, but  Belladonna and her Seraphin could never show their love or make it  official, so that's something she wants to change, because she loves her  partner and is proud of that.
