Bellamy Butler
| Overview | Forum Profile ⤴ |
|
Bellamy Butler (BEL-uh-mee BUHT-lur) is a member of Loner, currently ranked as a Loner. She is the daughter of Rhoswen Hughes and Séverin Butler, along with her siblings: Darcy Butler and Devereaux Hughes. She's the youngest of the three, born at a major disadvantage. Due to her being a lethal white/double merle dog, she was born not only blind, but hard of hearing as well. Because of this, she didn't have the easiest childhood. While her parents clearly did care about her, she was still to be raised like her other siblings. While Bellamy did her best to push through her disabilities, it was obvious a solution needed to be made to help her get along on her own. Magpies were a common sight around their household, as her mother had been raising them since coming with them to Portland, and the Butler household. Bellamy herself wanted to help with raising one of her mother's offspring magpies, and it helped to build the connection between the two of them. The magpie she spent time with was given the name Eveline, was taught broken high speech, and the two became inseparable. Growing up around Portland, and other Butler family members gave her a wide variety of options on what interests she might be able to pick up. With two of her senses either gone or lessened, she took to working with what senses she had left. She discovered that she liked working with her hands, and the feeling of fur and cloth in them. She took the necessary time learning how to work with textiles, and making clothing. She found a great joy in experimentation, getting those around her to tell her how she was doing, and how her pieces looked. Eventually, there came a time when Darcy left the rest of the family to parts unknown, at least to her. While she was happy for him to strike out on his own, there was no denying she missed him being around. It took her a while to work up the courage to decide to leave to go find him. It would mean leaving Devereaux behind, but there was the hope that she might come along too... some day. It wasn't until she had started out that she truly realized what kind of journey she was in for, especially since she was convinced she'd be fine. One day into her travels north, she managed to come across Charlotte Winthrop, a young lady who was making her way home from a place called Palisade. Not only recognizing that they could benefit from traveling together, but Bellamy's disadvantages to be left on her own, the two made their way towards Del Cenere Gang together. Currently, Bellamy is still on the search for her brother. Even if it turns out he's not around the area that Charlotte intends to be going, she doesn't plan to stop until she is able to figure out where he is. |

Physical |

Bellamy is a wolf-dog, but shows very little wolf heritage in her physical features thanks mostly to her father's side of the family. Her muzzle is much more narrow than any dog breed's, making it look much closer to one of a wolf. While her ears are rounded, and shaped a bit like a wolf's; the ends are tipped backwards, a show of her dog heritage. Her body structure is rather lithe, which while not typical for her kind, is another small effect of being a lethal white/double merle. She has very little muscle structure, preferring light works. Her coloration is the fault of both her parents. Due to her condition, most of her body is covered in a light gray color, that looks white in the distance/most lighting. There are some small patches of pink mixed in this main color, especially around her eyes, muzzle, chest, and tips of her paws/fingers. The rest of her body is covered in patches of shades of gray, most of which are along her body rather than her limbs. The inside of her ears are a silver color, a small contrast to the rest of her coloration. When in optime form, she sports long, very light cream locks. The bangs often hang over her face and it is usually put up in one long braid. |

Clothing & Other |
|
Del Cenere is mixed when it comes to its humanization, and Bellamy falls on the humanized side of the spectrum. Though she does wear clothing, what she wears is usually very loose hanging on her. Because she can't see, her body feels much more like it can breathe when what she wears doesn't feel too tight against her, and it is easier for others to grab her in case they need her attention, or to steer her away from something. When it comes to accessories, she keeps herself limited to one or two things. Aside from her ear studs, she is usually seen wearing a silver cross necklace. |

Personality |
|
Ever since her youth, Bellamy has been a soft spoken person. She usually very kind to the people around her, as she kind of needs to when it comes to her company. Because of her disabilities, she's got to be a bit more trusting of the people around her than anyone else normally would have to be. Even so, growing up around people who were not too bothered to help her aided in this not being too much of a big deal. It was only once she started traveling that she saw this could become a bigger issue. Still, once she has gotten to know someone, especially someone very well, she is very kind and generous to them. She's well aware there's not much she can do, but she'll still strive to help in any way she can. Although Bellamy is a generally kind person, she can be cunning when she wants to be. It's harder for her to spot people not to trust, or even danger, but that doesn't mean she's entirely blind to it. Being blind, as she has found, makes others underestimate her. She doesn't have a problem standing up for herself, or even on the grounds of a choice. Regardless of the true reason, she will use her words and a raised voice whenever she can. Hand in hand with this is her quick wit. Obviously, she can't find ways out of a situation around her, but she is good at keeping people's attention, or distracted so that someone else can take care of the issue at hand... or to give Eveline time to help her out. Due to her disabilities, Bellamy is a very determined person, always has been. It comes from not being able to keep up with the people around her. More than anything, she wants to prove to herself that she is not just defined by what she can't control. If she's started something, then she's for sure going to take as much time as it needs to make sure it gets done. She's not stupid enough to take on something she knows she won't be able to do well, but will for what she can handle.

Biases
|
|
Sexuality Bellamy is demisexual. Being blind, she can't really tell how someone is based on their looks, so she is not attracted to them in the way most luperci are. Because of this, she likes getting to know someone very well before even feeling some sort of attraction. This also helps to keep away people who would only want to be with her to take advantage of her. When with someone she is attracted to, she is very much in favor of soft romance in displays of affection. Sex is much lower on the priority list when it comes to being with someone this special in her life. |
|
Spirituality Bellamy, like her siblings, grew up being taught Catholic traditions. Even though this is the case, she's not very serious about following many of them. She's much more realistic due to the nature of her disabilities, but she does believe there is a God watching over her. If there are ever times of crisis, or she feels she is hoping to make sure that everything will turn out ok, then she will send prays to God for this reason. The cross she wears is the only other connection she has to her religious ties, but this was more so something that was passed down to her more than a show of how faithful she is. |
|
Substances Bellamy doesn't take part in any kind of substances. She is already blind and hard of hearing, so she doesn't need to do anything that is going to hinder her more than she already is. She is alright with the others around her partaking in these substances, but would prefer they do it away from her. |

|
Main Focus: Ranger, Druid, Plant-Keeper
Not wanting to be useless to not only her mother, but also her brothers, she took her bow and arrow, learning quickly to use it for hunting. She was more than happy providing food for her family, though in her opinion they also needed to at least know how to fend for themselves. Where she had started with small prey, she allowed her skills to continue to grow to much bigger prey. There was no denying her accuracy is good, whether the target is moving or not.
Living without the protection of the realm left an understanding in knowing how to protect one's self. Because of her beliefs, she natural took to this selection. This was a huge matter of necessity, and as such, made sure her skills were at the very least up to par to ensure her brothers would be taken care of. If there ever came a time to where they were in danger, she could take care of the problem from afar. Due to traveling as a loner for most of her life, and not coming across too many troubles, her combative skills fell behind her hunting skills. Even so, she is willing to put in the effort to finding a better means to increase this skill.
As a self proclaimed druid of Nanin, the care of nature and plants in general became a great passion of her's. It helped that there was so much that plants could be used for, but with constantly being on the move, there wasn't much chance to be able to fully expand on these skills. This was changed once she had joined New Caledonia, as well as going to the Citadel. Having the chance to learn more about plants and gardening practices, she intends to put these skills to good use wherever she finds herself living.

Auxiliary Skills and Hobbies
Learning to read and write was a basic necessity for her and her brothers, as well as being part of the realm.
The idea of getting into poisons came as a combination of her manipulative personality, but also as a means of making her arrows more potent. Even though this is the case, she is careful about what effects they may have on the land, and what plants are poisonous as well. For this, it is not a primary focus, but something to study for specific use.
A skill more so out of practicality rather than interest. Seeing as the primary use of her bow is used for hunting, it only makes sense to know how to skin, and use the hides from animals. As a way, it is also a means of being respectful to those that walk Nanin's realm. She can't make complicated leatherworking pieces, but simple pieces as well as armor. Whatever she doesn't use will usually go to someone who can use the items better than you, or if there is a higher priority for someone else to have it for use.
Much like with poisons, studying which plants are used for healing is much more of a side focus compared to her primary skills. She knows basic first aid to deal with injuries, and while she is open to learning more to aid others, it's at her own time, not out of necessity.

Charlotte Winthrop is someone who had started out as nothing more than a travel partner, both of them able to help one another... or more so help her since she was at a major disadvantage with going out on her own without a plan. While moving around together, the two of them have gotten to better know one another. This led them to become friends. While Bellamy can't do much to protect her, she wants to be there for her friend in any way that she can. |

Eveline (Magpie) (Hide) |
| Basics |
 Active: Dec 2019 – Present |
| Description |
|
| OOC Assumptions |
|
|
Skills & Abilities:
Description: Eveline is a small bird, but normal for those of her size. The upper part of her body is covered in beautiful, black feathers; while the lower part of her body is covered in white feathers. The only exception to this is a patch of black feathers along her rear, near the underside of her wings. Speaking of the wings, they are a mix of black feathers (near the top and back), white feathers (in the middle), and blue feathers (along the bottom). The tail feathers are longer than average, and sport the same blue color as the feathers on the wings. She has black eyes.
Personality: Eveline is quite the talkative bird, as she was more or less trained to be to help Bellamy. Though she can speak in broken high speech, it tends to be only one word at a time, focusing more on giving "commands" rather than comments (ex: giving a direction or name). She says a lot more, but usually only when she and Bellamy are not actively moving or working on something. Also due to her training and how she grew up, she is used to being around other people. She's well behaved, not causing problems for strangers... not unless they prove to become a threat to Bellamy. In these instances, she can get protective, flying in faces and making a lot of noise.
History: Iolanta was born wild, but found abandoned by her family. Magpies were a common sight around the Butler homes in Portland. She was found by Rhoswen, and taken in on the idea of training her to be an aid for her blind daughter. She was well looked after, and was introduced to a four month old Bellamy. There wasn't much Bellamy was able to do to help with care at her age, but did spend a lot of time around Eveline, and was the one to give the magpie her name. When Bellamy finally shifted, she took over for Eveline's care. The two continued to bond over the years, becoming rather inseparable.
