There's no denying that Anabelle is a very beautiful girl. She may not have the typical model physique, but her unique features make her very visually stunning. She stands at five feet, three inches, so she is petite in size. She's also very thin with very subtle curves in just the right places. Her dark hair hangs in tight curls, reaching her shoulders and framing her small face. She likes to keep it on the shorter side because it's much easier when it comes to the maintenance. Her deep doe eyes seem to contrast perfectly against her sun kissed skin and defined cheek bones, and are framed by a pair of thick brows and long, dark lashes.

Though she's an artist at heart, Belle prefers to express herself through her paintings and photography rather than her fashion. This is why she keeps her wardrobe simple and comfortable. Her outfits usually consist of a simple cami, blouse or t-shirt and a comfortable skirt or shorts, or comfortable dresses with flats or sneakers. She keeps her make-up to a minimum and rarely ever does anything to her hair other than applying texturiser to keep her curls under control.

Anabelle is a simple girl with simple needs and wants. What you see is what you get. She's very honest and open with everyone around her, often wearing her heart on her sleeve. The first things most will notice about her is her passion, not only for art but for basically everything she does. She's the type to never do anything halfhearted. It's a treat she inherited from her mother, which she is quite thankful for, and it's a trait that can potentially take her very far in life. That, coupled with her bright smile and cheerful way of living life can open many doors for her. Her family has always joked about how the moment Belle came out of the womb, she came out smiling. Of course, it's an exaggeration, but not too far from the truth. Belle can almost always be found in a good mood, and if she isn't there is something very very wrong.
Some may say she's fearless, but that's not quite the truth. She has fears just like any other human being, but she often decides not to dwell on them too much. She's spontaneous right down to the very core. There is very few things that Anabelle will plan. Sometimes that's a pro, for example when her friends invite her to an impromptu road trip they can be sure she'll be down for the ride. But it can also be messy. Some things need careful thought and planning, something that Belle has very little idea how to do. She has often been given advice on this aspect, but if there is something she inherited from her father it's the art of being stubborn. When she sets her mind to something, there is very little one can do to change it. Even when she knows she's wrong, she will still see her ideas through. Sometimes they turn up better than expected, other times it lands her in messes that could have easily been avoided. And regardless of how many mishaps she goes through or how many bad turns her poorly thought out decisions take, her audacious side refuses to learn from her own mistakes.
But she's brilliant and vibrant, even with all her imperfections, she is incredibly easy to get along with. She's not only skilled at making friendships, but she works hard to keep them. Her art and her loved ones are what occupy the majority of her time, and she quite likes living that way.

Her strengths include art and anything that has to do with creating or inventing, her amiable nature that allows her to make friends easily, her passion for everything she does and a very string will power that can get her through just about any bad circumstance. Her [u]weak[/u[ points are usually her stubborn nature that won't allow her to take advice, her lack of organization, which causes her to not only forget but often lose important things, her female pride and her naive heart.

Anabelle doesn't have many fears, but the few that she does have scare her deeply. She fears ✫losing her family✫ or anything bad happening to them, especially now that they live in a town full of scary and powerful creatures. She fears the possibility of ✫losing her art✫ or not being able to express herself through art, for whatever reason it may be. And she's really terrified of ✫heights✫.
First year at Thorn Hill Academy, but she is a senior.

There are so many different kinds of supernatural creatures, so for her to say she dislikes or is afraid of supernaturals would not be right. She has only met a select few. Some where kind and gentle towards, while others looked at at her as if she wasn't worth the dirt under their shoes. Because of this, Belle's stance on supernaturals is still fairly neutral. That's not to say she isn't afraid of them. She knows most of them could easily destroy her if they so wished, but she also knows there's good and bad in everything. While there may be some out there that despise humans, there are also those that like and accept them. She's not one to judged based on rumors or appearances, so her thoughts on these creatures will depend solely on her experiences with them.

Anabelle was born into a loving family consisting of her mother, father and three older siblings in sunny Miami, Florida. Being the youngest of four siblings meant Anabelle was just a little spoiled. She was the baby of the family, so she inevitably got all of the attention. She was also very sheltered, which in her parents' eye was goof for her, but in reality only made life a bit more difficult than it should have been. As she grew up and went to school, thanks to her spontaneous and amiable personality, she made friends easily. But due to the fact she was sheltered, she also found it difficult to deal with bad situations.
During her freshman year in high school, Belle and a small group of friends went out for a girls' night. It started out as dinner and a RomCom, but ended up as them sneaking into a nigh club. However Anabelle, not willing to take the risk and break her parents' trust, decided to opt out. She found herself walking home alone, through dark streets and alleys she had never been through before. As she walked, she found herself being followed. A group of three men, very visibly drunks, who eventually caught up to her and cornered her. Anabelle froze, never having been in a remotely uncomfortable situation, she didn't know whether to scream for help or simply give up. As the men came closer and began to grab at her, she closed her eyes, expecting the worst to happen. It wasn't until a few seconds passed and nothing happened that she opened them again. Two of the three men that had been huddled around her were unconsciously lying on the ground, while the other was being held in mid air by his throat, a very delicate hand gripping it, deep red nails digging into his skin. Belle stared in disbelief at the owner of the hand. She was tall, with a very beautiful body and face, perfect features, long black hair and porcelain-doll-like skin. She left the man drop like a rag doll, licking the blood from her fingers, and turned to Belle. Her red lips curled into a grin before disappearing into the shadows.
The moment Belle got home, her parents noticed something was wrong. She had no choice but to tell them everything that happened. That opened up an entirely new world for Belle. Her parents told her about the supernatural world and all it entailed. About all their encounters with the supernaturals, both good and bad. About how the beautiful woman that saved her was most likely of the vampire family. It was a lot for Anabelle to take it. It took her several months to come to terms with the fact that there were other living, non-human creatures out there. But each and every time she doubted, she thought of the woman and how eternally grateful Belle was that she showed up. As the years passed, she came across a few others, mostly by chance, but her curiosity continued to grow. During an impromptu night of research, Belle found Thorn Hill Academy and immediately wanted to enroll. She spokes to her parents about it. At first they were weary, even if the town was only a few hours away, but Belle's older sister Isabella agreed to look after her. After finishing her Junior year of high school, Belle and her sister moved into a small apartment in Thorn Hill to begin their new life among the supernaturals.
