History:

Belle grew up in a small community far from much of the advances and improvements of the modern world. The region surrounding this village and many like it was fraught with poverty , racial disagreement and general division from any sort of authorities.

She was raised in a less-than-perfect home, experienced a minimalistic childhood, and was eventually sold off to a rich family by her parents at the age of 10. She was thrust into the world of servitude along with other young children her age, regardless of the illegality of slavery itself, and made to endure years of neglect, beatings and general discomfort whilst attending to the needs of those better off.

Her ownership exchanged hands a few years down the line, and though the new owner was not much better, she and several others managed to plot and execute an escape one night, fleeing their seperate ways to the surrounding land and smaller villages.

Even with this newly found freedom, she did not have any expectations or dreams of her own, and her aimless wandering proved not much better than slavery, pushing her to the edge.

But as she stood at the edge, a well-dressed stranger approached her and offered her the chance to forget this life and enter a new one. She thought that nothing worse could come of it, and took the opportunity presented to her. Within hours, she was lying safe and warm on a bed, and drifting off into a medically assisted and comfortable sleep.

Her next waking moment was on a similar bed, far away from anything she had ever known. Not that she could remember where things she knew were. She could recall that she had duties to attend to and was incredibly agitated to get on with them before something bad happened, but was assured by the nearby doctors that she would be resuming her duties soon. Her new duties, of course, as a determinant in their Cellvation.

As her recovery and progressions were fully monitored, she was closely observed and assisted by a young man who took quite the interest in her, and it was not long until she was assigned to this rather stern but not unpleasant young man as his Inframit.

Strengths:
. Her fusion created an innate sense of timing and precision, thus she is never late for sessions and is kind enough to remind those when necessary that they are taking too much time or not doing things fast enough. She can also calculate and time different periods of time, for instance when something begins to ends, or when they arrive at a point until the time she is asked presently.
. Her now toughened physical make up has given her more endurance in her fighting ability. She is not a skilled fighter, but her calculation of time in battle gives her an advantage to her movements.
. Her ability of time and her previously learnt skills makes her an excellent cook, but mostly in the baking area. She loves to prepare cakes and pastries for others.

Faults:
. Because of the alarm aspect to her fusion, she is easilly spooked. The alarming pitch of her scream is not only disorientating to the enemy but also to team members if they do not cover their ears well enough in time.
. A regressed fear of failure and the consequent punishment makes her often frightened in situations she has no control over, such as being examined by doctors or being approached by strangers.
. If she is not able to 'wind up' (not wind down as most people would) then her functionality will begin to decline. She prefers to do this in privacy because it embaresses her to wind herself up. Some aggressive, frustrating or 'stimulating' situations can also lead to winding her up a bit, which is not always a good thing.

Additional info:
. She's not particularly liked when she screams, especially by those with sensitive hearing (Tannyte, Lyra..)which she then tries to soothe with dessert she makes, which works most of the time (and hopefully always will).
. Has no discernable accent but does have a slighly-metallic bell-like laugh. It sounds sort of cute, if you like the sound of bells ringing. C:
. She is overly-protective of her duties and if she cannot fulfill them she will be very emotional about it, partly from unreasonable fear and partly from disappointment in herself. Luckilly, Conrad is not that overbearing on her in any way and works well with her.
. She's pretty close to Tann, because he befriended her early in her life on the island. She is also insanely close to Lyra, despite Lyra being a tricky character, and considers her her best friend.
