Bellatrix Lestrange

==Summary==
Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black), also known as Bella by Lord Voldemort and Narcissa Malfoy, is the true secondary antagonist of the Harry Potter franchise, starting from Order of the Phoenix. She is a pure-blood witch who was the sister of Narcissa Malfoy and Andromeda Tonks (who was disowned for marrying a Muggle-born Wizard), the wife of Rodolphus Lestrange, the cousin of Sirius and Regulus Black, the aunt of Draco Malfoy, and a loyal follower of Lord Voldemort.
She is the most faithful member of Voldemort's inner circle. She is described as being highly attractive yet emaciated due to her time in Azkaban. Bellatrix is portrayed as paranoid and fanatically devoted to Voldemort, seeing service to him as the noblest duty for any true wizard or witch. She takes an obvious pleasure in acts of torture and cruelty, as demonstrated when she kills her cousin, Sirius Black. She is a witch of prodigious ability, as demonstrated by her many victories in duels against other characters, and as noted by Harry in the final book.

* Avada Kedavra: She unleashes a green energy bolt that instantly kills the target upon impact. However, sufficiently fast opponents can dodge it and it can be stopped by throwing another object (or victim) in the way
* Crucio: She curses the opponent to feel unspeakable amounts of pain, usually incapacitating the target unless they possess unusually high resistance to pain. Continued exposure can fry the victim's nerves and damage their brain, leaving them clinically insane or in a vegetative state.
* Fiendfyre: Bewitched Flame of abnormal size and heat, infused with dark magic, capable of seeking out living targets, can't be extinguished by water
