Personality: Bellatrix often gives the impression of being an utter psychopath, completely and utterly lacking in anything regarding a conscience. She is an intensely sadistic witch who at certain points seems mentally unbalanced; for instance, she once killed a fox because she was paranoid it might be an Auror in disguise.
Bellatrix is intelligent but could be easily distracted and has a fierce and dangerous temper, a trait that she shares with her cousin Sirius and her aunt Walburga.
Bella is very devoted to Voldemort, believing that she proves her loyalty by her time in Azkaban, which seems to have furthered her mental decline. She is one of Voldemort's cruellest Death Eaters, always eager to inflict the Cruciatus Curse on enemies. It is said that she "likes to play with her food before she eats it", and believes she is his most trusted and loyal follower.
Mother: Druella Black (née Rosier), Died in 1979 aged 50, Pure-Blood
Father: Cygnus Black III, Died in 1979 aged 50, Pure-Blood
Siblings: Narcissa Malfoy (née Black), 39/40, None, Pure-Blood
Bellatrix seems to have a fairly close and affectionate relationship with her younger sister Narcissa, whom she calls "Cissy". Narcissa fondly calls her sister "Bella". Narcissa is also one of the only people who stands up to Bellatrix and gets away with it.
Andromeda Tonks (née Black) , 42/43, Unknown, Pure-Blood
Bellatrix hates her "blood traitor" relatives. After her sister Andromeda married a muggle-born and was disowned, Bellatrix never saw her again.
Birth place: UK
Overall history: Bellatrix was born in 1951 to Cygnus and Druella Black, who raised her to prize her pure-blood heritage. She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into the Slytherin House. She eventually married Rodolphus Lestrange — a fellow pure-blood, as was expected of her — and when Lord Voldemort first rose to power, she and her husband joined the Death Eaters. Unlike her sisters, Bellatrix displayed no outward affection for her husband whatsoever, never even mentioning him in conversation. Her true love is Voldemort, who gave her some training in the Dark Arts, which contributed to her incredible talent as a duelist.
When the First Wizarding War broke out, Bellatrix and her husband Rodolphus both fought for Voldemort as two of his Death Eaters. As one of the few female Death Eaters, Bellatrix remained loyal to Voldemort throughout the war and even after he had fallen.
After the Dark Lord's fall in 1981, Bellatrix and a group of Death Eaters, including her husband, brother-in-law, and Barty Crouch Jr., captured Aurors and Order of the Phoenix members Alice and Frank Longbottom, new parents to Neville Longbottom. Bellatrix and her associates used the Cruciatus Curse to torture them to insanity, a crime for which they were tried before the Wizengamot and sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. As a result of their torture, Alice and Frank spent the rest of their lives unaware they even had a son together.
Unlike many other Death Eaters, Bellatrix did not attempt to lie about her loyalty, she proudly proclaimed that she was loyal to the Dark Lord and that she would wait for his return. Indeed, Bellatrix was so proud of her loyalty to the Dark Lord that, during her trial before the Wizengamot, she was said to have sat upon the chair she was chained to as if it were a throne. She would later describe herself as his "most loyal servant" and even Lord Voldemort, whom Bellatrix admired most of all, gained a considerable deal of respect for her.
When Lord Voldemort returned to power in 1995, it wasn't long before a mass breakout from Azkaban happened with his Death Eaters rejoining him.
Not long after escaping Bella's old friend David Val'Lauren killed Bellatrix's husband Rodolphus Lestrange. Having never really cared for her husband this did not bother Bellatrix in the slightness or spoil her friendship with David.
