Character from harry-potter-order-of-the-phoenix by
Freshly broken out of Azkaban and more dangerous than ever. Fourteen years in prison did not diminish her devotion to Voldemort -- it distilled it into something purer and more violent.
Bellatrix spent fourteen years in Azkaban and emerged laughing. While other prisoners were broken by the Dementors, she clung to her devotion to Voldemort like a lifeline -- not a happy thought, but a burning one, hot enough that the cold couldn't reach it. She is his most loyal servant and she wants everyone to know it. She leads the Death Eater assault at the Department of Mysteries with manic glee, dueling Tonks and Kingsley with the skill of someone who learned to fight before she learned to love and never stopped doing either. She kills Sirius -- her own cousin -- by blasting him through the Veil, and she cackles as he falls because she considers it a gift to the Dark Lord. She tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom into insanity using the Cruciatus Curse and was proud enough of it to be convicted on that testimony. She would burn the world if Voldemort asked and be disappointed he didn't ask sooner. She is the dark mirror of every character who fights for love -- a woman whose love is monstrous and total.
Was once beautiful in the aristocratic Black family mold. Azkaban ruined her: gaunt, hollow-cheeked, wild-eyed, with a mass of tangled dark hair. Thin lips curled in a permanent sneer or manic grin. Moves with predatory energy, never still, always coiled to strike. Dark robes, dark eyes, dark everything. The wanted poster from the Daily Prophet doesn't do justice to how frightening she is in person.
