BIOGRAPHY.

Cygnus and Druella Black had been a part of Lord Voldemort’s year at Hogwarts and thus were prepared to breed the perfect soldier for him in their oldest child. And while a girl hadn't been what they were planning for, it didn't matter; at the end of the day, she'd do what she was born to do. Bring honor to the family by fighting for the Dark Lord. Being the firstborn in a proper, pureblood family came with many experiences that weren't considered normal. While most children were learning how to spell their names, she was learning her family tree. She could name curses before she could name places, and she knew that she was a Pureblood before all else. There were rigid expectations regarding being the firstborn Black and no room for error unless she wished to be an outcast. It was no secret that was not an option as far as Bellatrix was concerned, given that it was family above all. She kept her sisters in line, upheld family values, and was groomed as the perfect warrior for the call for Pureblood Supremacy. Hogwarts wasn't a place for her to go and get an education like it was for most students. At eleven, Bellatrix was already taught to sort between her peers to ensure she made friends in the right places. She was there to ensure everyone she surrounded herself with was loyal to the Dark Lord and his cause. The classes she attended were a second option, as she'd already been learning the "necessary" magical education at home at the hands of her father. Hogwarts was child's play compared to the magic he wanted to teach his daughter. Despite the upbringing that she had experienced and the goals that she wanted to achieve through Hogwarts, Bellatrix quickly made friends with people so long as they shared the same values as her. And she made friends, especially with the people who proved they would benefit her or the Dark Lord and his cause. After completing school at Hogwarts, Bellatrix was quickly married to a family that shared her beliefs. It didn't matter if she did or didn't love Rodolphus; what mattered was that he was a pureblood. Blood purity before all else. Even after marriage, her focus was not on providing an heir for the family or keeping the perfect home for her husband; she was still focused on ensuring she was the most beneficial person to her cause. That was how Bellatrix found herself working as a Cursebreaker for the Ministry. She was good at magic and learning how to work around it, and being good at something meant that she was someone that people sought out when they needed help. The more people who did that, the more people who seemed to foolishly trust her, and that meant she could play along, pretending to trust them too, sharing just enough that they would share something with her too. All in the hopes that she'd learn something to report back to the Dark Lord. Through the years until the Dark Lord rose to power, Bellatrix was known on the inside as one of his most loyal followers and had proven time and time again that she would do anything. To the outsiders, despite being hidden under the infamous Death Eater mask, she was recognized as ruthless and perhaps a little unstable. But that was the only thing about her that was recognizable. Her identity was her best-kept secret to anyone outside of the Death Eaters. She didn't see the betrayal coming for someone who'd devoted her entire life to the Dark Lord and the cause, but what's funny about your "heroes." You never see the betrayal coming. With the help of an anonymous source, Bellatrix was provided the undeniable truth that the Dark Lord was not what he swore to be. He was not a Pureblood as he had sworn to her and the other followers. The Dark Lord was a half-blood. Fueled by rage and perhaps some grief for what she had lost, she found herself on the side of Fenrir Greyback, who was really willing to do whatever it took to come out on top. She was unsure about taking the bite, but the truth remained, Bellatrix wanted power, and she needed purpose once again. If Greyback was willing to do that, then who was she to say no?
