Age: 64

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Pansexual

Powers: Creation

Birthday: December 21st

Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius

Religion: Buddhism

Mark: Unknown

Generation: 1st

→ 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 Personal Facts

Occupation: Seeker in Training and Creator of Magical Cauldron, Pots and Unbreakable Bottles

Scars: None

Tattoos: None

Two Likes: Warmth and The Sun

Two Dislikes: The Cold and Snow

Two Fears: Cacophobia and Dentists

Two Hobbies: Creating organic/inorganic matter to study and visiting theme parks

Three Positive Traits: Creative, Easygoing, Insightful

Three Negative Traits: Cynical, Melodramatic, Oversensitive

→ 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.

Os livros e eu

Apaixonei-me pelas palavras já nem me lembro quando. Embora eu tenha alguma leve memória da primeira vez que faltei à escola para ler um livro. Tinha eu uns doze anos, acho, e o livro foi-me emprestado por uma colega. Essa é a memória, digamos, recente, mas não foi neste dia que o martelo do destino bateu e decretou como meu primeiro dia de uma relação longa com as linhas que viram parágrafos, que viram páginas, que viram capítulos e que por fim viram livros.

Construí um relacionamento abusivo, de dependência unilateral. Eles são tão ditadores que me obrigaram a fazer uma escolha: “Ou nós, ou a tua vida social”, e eu, no ápice do meu amor cego e tóxico, escolhi-os a eles. Já não saio, não vejo amigos, se saio não me demoro, eles são ciumentos e me querem a hora em casa para devorá-los. Infelizmente ou felizmente, ou talvez feliz-infeliz, infelizmente-feliz, ou feliz-infeliz, sei lá, essa prisão dá-me a sensação de liberdade, talvez falsa, mas é com eles que me sinto verdadeiramente livre. Triste sina, a minha. Ou talvez alegre, quem sabe. Parece um inferno de temperatura amena, praias azul-turquesa, água de coco e o meu cabelo crespo molhado, a saber a lágrimas.

Mas este relacionamento deu-me imensas vantagens, pois, apesar de serem todos ciumentos, eles são vários e de todas as tipologias e géneros possíveis. Então, eu não como o mesmo prato todos os dias. Senti-os nas mais diversas línguas,cheirei-os a todos e cada um tinha o seu cheiro, toquei-os e seus tamanhos eram diferentes uns dos outros. Com alguns chorei de dor, com outros exultei de alegria, com a maioria me arrepiei inteira, com todos eles acordei.

Não vou negar também, que alguns, me marcaram, tornaram-se inesquecíveis. Deixaram-se ficar no meu coração, arrebataram-me e me incomodaram, alguns de forma saudável e outros nem tanto. Hermann Hesse em Demian,Sidartha e o O Lobo da Estepe magoou-me a alma, desorganizou o meu mundo, fez-me chorar e obrigou-me a tomar decisões. Alice Walker em A Cor Púprpura disse-me “Vem e olha para ti. Olha-te ao todo. A tua cor é mesmo uma cicatriz horrivel e o teu género um fado?”.

Angela Davis em Mulheres, Raça e Classe, pegou-me na mão e pôs-me ao espelho, meteu-me a ver de forma nua e crua, como foi meu passado, sem fantasias e que eu deveria, sim lutar, porque antes de mim alguém o fez, e só seria assim se eu conhecesse o meu passado. Emily Bronte no Monte dos Vendavais fez-me pensar “será que somos feito de dor? E depois, quando terminarmos a vingança visceral que nos roubou os dias, que é que seremos?”. Charlote Bronte em Jane Eyres ensinou-me a ver o amor, o amor é disforme e assimétrico, trespassa a qualquer noção pré-definida e qualquer requisito padronizado, não é como nas comédias românticas e nos romances clichés.

Paulina Chiziane em A Balada de Amor ao Vento e Niketche, fez-me erguer a voz e gritar “Mulher!”. James Baldwin em Giovanni mostrou-me o outro amor, aquele que muitos negam que existe.Toni Morrison em Deus Ajude a criança, sem saber pôs-me na cabeça um certo tipo de homem e obrigou-me a ver que pessoas não são números estatísticos. José Saramago em Ensaio sobre a Cegueira meteu-me a pensar “Sociedade, onde?”.

Outros como Victor Hugo, Tolstoi, Dostievski, Franz Kafka, Clarice Lispector, Sofia de Mello, Machado de Assis, Aluisio de Azevedo, Edgar Allan Poe, Fernando Pessoa, Eça de Queirós, Mário de Andrade, Oswald de Andrade, Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carrol, Charles Dickens, Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, José Agualusa, Ondjaki, Pepetela, Lilia Mamplé, Noémia de Sousa, Alda Lara, Ana Paula Tavares, Dya Kazembe, Chimamanda, Simone de Beauvaire, Fannon e outros que os li nestes meus 23 anos de visita à Terra,que me perdoem por não ter citado sua importância em minha vida, mas ainda assim, me defendo dizendo que basta olhar para mim e qualquer um irá notar que sou a soma, às vez divisão, outras subtracção de suas partes e todo.

Agora que escrevo descubro, afinal, que foram todos eles meus favoritos. Amo-os e a morte deles é apenas um detalhe diante da maneira que eternizaram: através das palavras.

Character List and Rules

RULES:

I don’t write smut, abuse, self-harm, or suicide. I do NOT write yandere. I do not write gore or major character death.

Nor do I write cheating.

Also, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE LIST BEFORE REQUESTING. If you request a fic for someone who is not on the list, I’m not writing a fic for you. Sorry. Follow the rules or request from someone else.

I ONLY write Reader-Insert fics and Headcanons. I do NOT write ships!!!

I do NOT write the reader with a specific body type specified. Ex: Skinny reader, chubby reader, etc.

I do not write in the first person, only second or third person. I do not write from any character’s POV.

TIPS:

I DO write poly fics: [character] x reader x [character]

Be sure to specify what gender you’d like reader to be in your fic. Gender neutral is an option! This is also an LGBTQ+ safe space, so feel free to ask for m/m or w/w.

When requesting, it helps me if you give a basic premise, but not TOO much detail. If you just ask for a character without a scenario, sometimes I can think of something, but sometimes I can’t.

I don’t ever give Y/N a name other than Y/N unless it’s a nickname or a title of some kind.

Until I Met You - Chapter Six (part 2)

Simon~

And then it was just me and her. I couldn’t believe it. Here I was with the love of my life planning my engagement party with another woman. Valentina’s eyes caught my gaze and she quickly looked away and turned to walk away when I grabbed her arm.

“Hey—” she started, but when she looked up at me again she froze. “Simon.”

“Val… I…” I had no idea what to even say. This was the only woman that I ever truly loved—and the only woman I allowed to break my heart. I will always allow her to break my heart.

“How are you?” I decided.

She seemed surprised by my question. “Fine…,” she said, her eyes shifting down. “Congratulations on your engagement. I really am happy for you.” Her sweet voice was almost a whisper, and I could easily feel the pain she was experiencing. Because I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around her and tell her how much I missed her. Tell her how sorry I was for betraying her by being with another woman. Crazy how love works—I'm the one that ended up with the broken heart and here I was wanting to hand her the pieces.

“Thank you,” I said. “We…uh… It’s the right thing to do,” I said carefully.

“Huh?” Her perfect eyebrows furrowed together in confusion as heels began approaching us.

“I’m back,” Dina’s voice rang. God, I hated her voice.

Valentina dragged her eyes away from me to meet Dina’s, and she smiled warmly. “Great, we can go back to my office to finish up.”

And with one last glance at me, Val turned on her heel and walked towards her office with me and Dina following closely behind.
