LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW

★ NAME: Bella-Maria Di'Angelo
★ NICKNAME: Bell, Bella, Marie
★ MEMBER GROUP: Team Rocket; Human
★ POKEMON: Skitty
★ AGE: 18
★ HEIGHT: 5'5"
★ WEIGHT: 115lbs
★ FACE CLAIM: Rei Hino from Sailor Moon
★ APPEARANCE:

Standing at a mere 5'5", Bella is not the tallest person on the planet, nor is she the shortest. She's about average height, average build, really everything about her is average. Not that she's complaining really, she likes going unnoticed. Her lean but muscular build has proven on many occasion to be an asset. She has long black hair that she typically keeps back in a pony-tail or braid. Her bangs tend to be messy and often fall in her face. Sometimes she uses them to hide behind when she doesn't want others to see the emotions on her face. That isn't often though since she's learned to hide her true emotions well. More on that later. She has almond shaped brown eyes that are piercing and probably her best feature.

She has fair skin that burns and bruises easily. She's often covered in bruises of varying stages of healing. She also has her fair share of scars from her work. Some she's more proud of than others, depending on the story behind it. She tends to keep her scars covered, wearing long sleeves and pants so that they won't show. She's very self conscious about the scars and doesn't like people she doesn't know seeing them. Speaking of clothes, she tends to be simple and practical in her manner of dress. A plain dark blue long sleeved shirt and a pair of black pants are what she typically wears along with tennis shoes or hiking boots. They're easier on her feet and provide the best traction after all.

★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:

The quiet mouse in the back of the room, you know Bella's there but you just happen to forget that she is. She doesn't tend to interact with others a whole lot of her own violation unless she absolutely has too. Many often think she's shy and truthfully she is. She's also overly cautious but when working with Team Rocket and being human, well she has to be to survive. She knows how precarious her situation could become if they decided she was no longer useful. That's why this quiet little thing does her best to keep her head down and obey orders to the letter.

She doesn't complain, doesn't talk back but she gets the jobs given to her done and in short order.

She's an extremely loyal soul, despite being so cautious and skittish. She may be terrified to some degree of other people but once you gain her trust she'll be a good friend. She's protective of the few friends she has and can be fiercely defensive of them. One thing, though, do not lock her in a small, dark space. Unless you want her extremely traumatized and unable to function normally for the next few days. Being locked in a room and abused when she was younger lead to a severe form of claustrophobia.

Just don't do it, it'll make life so much better.

• Bella was born in Aether city to a pair of well off merchants as their second child. She had an older brother and gained a younger brother and sister over the next couple of years. She got along well with them, though more so her older brother since she was closer in age to him. They babysat their younger siblings while their parents worked. Her father was physically abusive, though Bella caught the worse of it trying to protect her siblings and developed claustrophobia because of it.
  
• They lost their parents to the virus when Bella was 12 and her older brother was sixteen, her younger siblings being 11 and 10 respectively (her parents couldn't get the transfusions in time to save them). They moved in with an aunt and uncle after the funeral though her brother ran away shortly after. She didn't know her brother joined Team Rocket or that he was forced to get a transfusion illegally after he caught the virus. She started working in her aunt's store at 14 to save up some money so she could move out. It was a crowded house with six kids (her, her two younger siblings, and three cousins) not to mention their aunt and uncle.
  
• Bella was nearly kidnapped at 16 by a Epispect member to use as bait for her brother but the kidnapping was interrupted by a Team Rocket member that was a friend of her brother's. She lost all respect for Epispect after that (it didn't help that they hadn't saved her parents). She moved out shortly after getting a small loft apartment in the city. She joined TR at seventeen mostly for a job and a way to earn some money and was startled to find her brother was working there. She was glad that he was alive though since she hadn't heard from him for three years.
  
• She is still working for TR with her brother and sending money to her younger siblings. Their younger siblings don't know that they work for Team Rocket but they've been getting suspicious recently on top of their aunt and uncle stealing the money that Bella and her brother have been sending.

Hey again Sparkle, and my apologies for taking so long to respond to this.

There's just a few things I'd like elaborated on her history before I go ahead and accept. First of all, you mention she has a history of abuse in her past in her personality section? Might you detail it a little bit more? If it was her parents, was she glad when they died and she and her siblings were free of them? Also, I'm wondering why she was nearly kidnapped by Epispect. Judging from her family situation, I'm guessing her brother is an illegal. So were they trying to take her hostage to get him to give himself up? Kidnapping her to use in experiments? Were they just a pervert? I'm just trying to figure out why.

Perhaps just as important as the content of the history is the format: you seem fond of using fragments and semicolons to tie it all together. I know it says you may use bullets in order to describe their history, but I would really like to see complete sentences written out in those points. Please? If you think that is a bit too harsh, feel free to ask Ryuu if I am being out of line here.

Lastly, and this is the most minor of all, I would like to point out that the status up there is really just to mark gijinka as legal or illegal. It's not asking about body type. XD So could you please remove it? Just put N/A or remove that line completely. Once that's done, I will happily accept the profile and not take forever to the point Ryuu has to intervene this time.

And Bella's ready to be looked over! Finally XD

Sorry for napping on the job. '>w> Anyway, while this is decidedly better, there's still a few things I want to clear up. For one, why didn't her father just get a transfusion for himself and leave the rest of them to die if they were well off? Or, if it was too late anyway, why did her brother need an illegal one to survive? Even with funeral costs, you made it sound like money was not something they'd have to worry about, so why did her brother have to get the illegal transfusion? Furthermore, just what kind of work was a twelve year old doing anyway? Did they have relatives willing to hire them, or was she doing illegal work for someone? I asked to be sure, and getting a job under fourteen would probably be impossible through legal means, so I'd like you to elaborate on that so people don't go thinking she was a child prostitute (unless she was. ._.').

Also, while I appreciate that you took the time to put things in paragraph form, there are still several issues with your grammar that I would like to bring up. For one, tense. You keep slipping back and forth from past to present, and it's frankly a bit jarring. So could you please pick either past or present and stick with it? As long as they agree, I can agree with it too. >w> Aside from that, there are a few more specific errors (the random capitalization of Lost, is instead of are/were in that same sentence, missing space in memberto, missing periods at the end of the second and third bullets) that I'd be glad if you fixed, but aren't quite as necessary as making the tenses agree.

Sorry for coming at you with so much when it should have been the last time. Honestly, it was my mistake for not pointing out more of this in the first pend. I hope I haven't gone out of line in asking for any of this. ^-^'

[bellamariadiangelo]

It's fine lol I was going to fix the grammar stuff at a later time but I went ahead and edited it while I was fixing everything else. I think she's done now but let me know if I missed something else.
