**Belinda** is a supporting character in *Night at the Gates of Hell*.

## Description

### Appearance

Belinda is an adult Caucasian woman with long dark brown hair. She wears a purple cardigan with white, yellow, and pink dots, a light brown undershirt, a long maroon skirt, and brown shoes.

### Personality

Belinda's character isn't explored well due to her relatively short-lived appearance, but from what is seen of her, she seems to be matronly and dotting to her son, but also ignorant of Charles' atypical behavior. She enables this by constantly babying him, to the point where she still breastfeeds him, despite Charles having definitely grown out of the age where this is normal. Belinda has also shown a lustful side to her in her later interactions with David, although considering the stressful circumstances and the fact that he did save their lives, this might not be indicative of promiscuity.

### History

Belinda is the widowed mother of Charles, whom she spoiled immensely, causing him to grow up bratty and develop an unhealthy, implicitly oedipal possessiveness of her. She lived in an apartment in Youngstown, Ohio, living on the same floor as Stan, Liam, and Sara. She and her son were in the Coastal Village when the undead uprising happened. They were saved from certain doom by Stan, a vacationer to the town, who helped them reach a safehouse already occupied by Cap and Skeeter.

## *Bloodwash*

Belinda and her son Charles are indirectly mentioned by Sara as her neighbors, living down the hall next to Stan, though commenting that she hasn't seen either in a while.

## *Night at the Gates of Hell*

### Coastal Village

Belinda and the rest of her group are met after David kills the zombies that were trapping them inside their hideout. She shares her belief that she has a gut feeling that the zombies are being controlled by a higher force, and thanks David for ensuring the safety of the survivors, especially in regards to her son.

### Cap's Boat

Shortly after their departure on the ship, Cap is exposed as a fraud by the group after Belinda calls him out on his inability to read a sea map. Belinda complains that instead of being eaten by zombies, they are now stuck in the middle of the ocean with no food because of Cap's lies and immediately votes that once starvation sets in, they will eat Cap first. Stan reassures Belinda and the others that they will have plenty of time to figure out how to deal with the situation and suggests everyone take a rest to calm down. Belinda does so by noisily breastfeeding Charles in full view of the group, causing Stan, in utter indignation, to tell her to quiet down in a rare moment of anger.

The next morning, Belinda can be found near the bow of the ship, where she again voices her gratitude to David for retrieving the boat parts essential to their escape from the village, and makes advances on him, offering to show David just how thankful she is in her private quarters. Nothing becomes of this, however, as the boat's engine is wrecked by an unseen creature, soon revealed to be a Zombie Shark, which promptly jumps over the bow and devours Belinda, leaving only her bisected legs behind.

### The Island

When the remaining survivors land on the beach of the Island, Belinda's legs inexplicably appear alongside them, either having washed ashore or, more disturbingly, carried aboard the life boat by Charles, who is visibly still in denial of her demise.

## Trivia

* Black Eyed Priest noted a connection made between Belinda and Charles as the unnamed mother and son mentioned by Sara to be living on the same floor in *Bloodwash*, and commented that it was "a good find".
* It is implied by Charles that he had a role in the death of Belinda's husband, though he could have just as easily been making an empty threat.
