Belle Ann Cromwell
Overarching Background
Belle Cromwell had no idea she was a Cromwell; as during her early years when she was but 5 she was sent by magic away from home. Lady Luna Marie Cromwell, the eldest of the clan and leader made this choice to protect her sisters from that of a raging war; The Cromwells have a long linked history to the lore and legend of the Emerald isle. The Eldest and leader of the clan taking lead as the Guardian of a land called The Shire where her lore and legend call home and protecting it from harm as well as being revealed to the real world. Belle was sent away at a young age, young enough that Luna felt it was right to block her memories of the Shire so that she could live a peaceful life; outside of the duty and weight on the shoulders that came with the last name Cromwell. However, a peaceful life was far from what Belle went through. In and out of foster care- sent back constantly by families who didn’t want some ‘freak’ girl with an incredible intelligence and a way of building and creating tech that could do just about anything; though her favorite piece would forever be her beloved Owl Achilles, a silver owl she’d built with emerald eyes. He was her closest and dearest allie throughout her life as she survived on her own; only ever really wanting someone to see past the gifts with tech, maybe see them as a good thing instead of something to worry about.
Once she grew and matured, that was when she found herself working with an Agency known as Grace Point; in fact she quickly became one of the top rated operatives. Working alongside the rest of her small team of three- Herself, A black haired fellow by the name of Dorian and a black haired, lavender eyed lady by the name of Vanora; Who, was in fact her sister though neither knew at the time
​
The Three worked together beautifully; especially Vanora and Belle though for obvious reasons. Things were finally looking up for Belle, she had a group of people she could count on. Or so she thought, it wasn’t long till she realized that Dorian was not as good a man as she had thought, he had swept Vanora off her feet and they’d been a bit of a couple for a long time now. Belle knew but wouldn’t say anything, especially not to the rest of Grace Point especially when this sort of Fraternizing was traditionally frowned on. But, soon it would come to light that this was not a true relationship; as Dorian had been nothing but using Vanora for his own gain and making her do things she would usually never do; such as hurting innocents and other things. Belle had noticed her memories at times were- vague almost as though they had been erased and she had started to look into it; that was when she realized Dorian had been using some form of his own magic to control her at night..She’d tried to stop him, to help her but he turned her over to Grace Point as a double agent and they completely kicked her out; they tried to erase her memory but she was too smart for them and had long since put a chip in that would block any of their attempts...Since then she’s lived on the streets yet again, much like her orphan days and survives by using her tech to get what she needs, selling off what she can- her only friend being her beloved little metal owl Echo. Her only wish was that Vanora had found peace and gotten away from the control of that monster Dorian.
Weaponry & Such
Weaponry & Such Continued
Bolts:
The Benumb
A Quick working paralyzer that will freeze the opponent the moment it hits your bloodstream; giring Belle the chance to knock you out and get the surrounding people to safety. Made from a special mixture she’d put together during a time of her travels; Belle is the only one to know the cure, though depending on the dosage it is a limited time, the opponent will eventually regain control and be able to move.
The Silver Venom
A strong poison made from a carefully crafted mix of different snakes poisons and toxins from her travels around the world, she only uses this as a last resort as this poison is one of the deadliest and if the antidote isn’t received within moments; the toxin will kill.
The Phantasm
Hallucinogenic bolt.
Silver Fury
Heat Seekers.
Hobbies & Quirks & Other Info
The one thing Belle excelled at other than her tech was her skills at the violin, though her style is far from the classical or even the celtic she has in her blood, though that’s not to say she can’t play these; her preference is a special style she’d come to love called Dub Violin; taking a lot of inspiration from Lindsey Stirling; a favorite of hers to play; especially that of Lindsey’s hit ‘Shatter Me’ which, in many ways as the way she grew up. Achilles usually has a handful of the dubbed songs in his programing so when she needs it or has some downtime she will often find herself a quiet place to play and escape the world for a while.
Sketching, while she’s not as talented at detail and depth as her eldest sister Luna she does have a way with a pencil and paper, or even digital as she uses this to design and build her summoning mechs. She has a habit of creating something of a mini profile for each of them- certain quirks or traits she think they would have; each of them are like family to her; and they think of her as the same. Especially Achilles, her beloved owl.
A favorite of hers to play is Shatter Me Because it in many ways describes how she’s felt growing up on her own and fending for herself.
StoryBrooke/OUAT
​
A peaceful life was far from what Belle went through. As the magic hadn’t sent her to the human world but that of the Enchanted Forest; where she had nothing but her wits to survive. Mind you she’d had a few families take her in at the time but, Belle never exactly fit in because of her clever nature and skills when it came to putting things together...She’d build the strangest contraptions out of the vines and such she’d found, the families that raised her would think it was some kind of witchcraft and send her away, so she ended up surviving alone within the lush land of the forest itself. That was when fate struck; a stroke of luck finally came to her, though she wouldn’t have called it this at first. In a moment of desperation she’d found her way into the gardens of that of the infamous Dark one; Rumplestiltskin. She knew what she needed, just a few fruit; just enough to hold her over...It wasn’t as though she hadn’t done so before, though that wasn’t to say she enjoyed ‘stealing’ but, when you were outcasted and feared because you were so ‘odd’ to everyone you weren’t exactly the one that anyone would hire, or sell...One had to make due with what one could...Thus it began, Rumple had caught her; now why Belle wasn’t killed on the spot was something she didn’t know but, she did know that whatever the reason she was grateful. Maybe it was that Rumple saw a bit of himself in her; maybe it was the fact that she showed no fear and instead stood her ground against him which was an unusual feit. Perhaps it was the fact that she had the nerve to try it...But whatever it was it ended in a deal; She would be his maid, care for the castle and whatever little thoughtless tasks were needed and in exchange he would spare her. However, the more time she spent the more she realized how alike they were and wanted to help him. Hearing his story, especially about his son just pushed her to want to do so all the more. Over time she really started to care for him, though she didn’t always approve of what he would do she knew she could only do so much, that he was as he was; for good reason…
That was when the curse hit- The dark curse that sent almost everyone to another world where magic didn’t exist, at least not in the form that those that grew up in the enchanted forest were used to. Belle was sent, alongside everyone but fat seemed to have intervened again as it wouldn’t be until two years later that she would find herself in Storybrooke; with a crashed motorcycle and guards up higher then they’d even been before she knew the dark one.
The betrayal of the agency she’d once worked for; Grace Point was one of the biggest reasons, But seeing a blonde woman with her son approach she smiled, not realizing what a wonderful turn of events that would be as Emma and Henry would be the ones to reunite her with the one person she’d only ever trusted and knew truly accepted her for the odd clever girl she was; just as she accepted him; dark side and all. Helping him find Bae she also hopes to find Vanora, maybe find out what happened and if she was alright; She may even learn that of her true heritage.
