Belle Bello

## **Official Bio**

Lourdes "Belle" Bello is the 10th member to be confirmed in Chrysalis. She's discovered by Amree Aguinaldo, who introduced her to Haruto Miyano to be a part of the said group. Belle is part of the Kouhai Line, and is the secretary, main rapper (if ever she'll perform with the other members), and a writer of storylines and scripts.

## **Personality**

She is one of the latest addition of the group and hasn't seen any of the other members, so she's often soft-spoken, even in group chats. Belle is a loyal friend to almost everyone, and could even stoop to Michael's level. She's a peacemaker and hates arguments, and will stop her friends from fighting. She longs to meet her members one day even if people say it's technically impossible because of their strict rules.

As a Filipino, she has dark brown eyes and is of average height but is often ridiculed and teased by her friends, saying she's shorter than average, pretty much like Amree and Pauline. She has shoulder length black wavy hair that's often described as frizzy, and she usually either ties it to a high ponytail or is left untied.

She mentioned she doesn't know what her signature style should be- at least not yet- as she's still experimenting with outfits and styles with the help of Parker. Belle likes to go for the simple and comfortable clothes she could find, and often wears caps. Even with all of this, she wants to have a "glow-up" like everyone else.

## **Controversy**

Belle was caught up in the middle of Stefen Sanchez's identity leak on the 9th of February 2020 when one of her friends claim Belle was being catfished by Stefan, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Josh Richards, a TikTok star. The friend messaged Amree to confirm Belle's not being catfished since she personally knew Stefan well. Stefan eventually took a hiatus from his social media and thought of quitting HM for good because of his anxiety, but after months of comforting him, he slowly got over it.

Although it's been a year since the incident, it still caused quite a stir in the studios, and the people involved are still cringing from the unfortunate event. Fans of HM (especially on Facebook) tried attacking the people involved as a way to "comfort" Stefan. From then on, Miyano ordered stricter rules and regulations about being active on social media, protecting the identities of the rest of the members, such as not posting their own animations and films on public platforms.

## **Trivias**

* Belle served as one of the inspirations for Haruto Miyano for the group's name, along with Parker, Kaela, and Stefen, as "chrysalis" means "a transitional state".
* Belle went to an all girls' school in the Philippines.
* Jace Blanchett was the one who thought of what her screen name should be. He got confused and thought Belle is her name, so they took it.
	+ Amree and Belle actually tried to think of another screen name for her only to miserably fail, and laughed at the name they thought would be good, which is "Soo-Jin".
* She and Daniel Alba (ex-member) first appeared as friends of Rin Takaoji (Amree Aguinaldo) in the HMS short film "Silent", along with their three other friends; Usha Roberto, and the twins, Yna and Yana Muñoz.
* She won the position of being XIIDNIGHT's secretary against Kaela and Jace by anonymous voting.
* She plays the keyboard/piano, guitar, ukulele, and the recorder.
* She dreams of flying to Korea ever since she was a kid.
* Belle's arachnophobic (afraid of spiders/arachnids). She says she's also acrophobic (afraid of heights) and thalassophobic (afraid of the deep ocean and sea travel). She also hates insects, especially cockroaches.
* Belle had four dogs in total; a Shih Tzu named Sandy (deceased), a half chihuahua, half Shih Tzu named Sky, Roxy, who is a stray dog, and Pipay, a pure Yorkshire terrier.
* She can speak two languages; English and her mother tongue, Tagalog-Filipino. She can speak the Waray dialect, and she's learning Korean, Spanish, and Japanese.
* Out of all the members of Chrysalis, she's known to have the lowest self-esteem and self-confidence. Belle is also the shyest.
* Like Kaela, she's openly bisexual, and she just recently came out to her family.
* She and Parker met via the Chrysalis members' Canva birthday card, where Parker greeted her. Because of Parker's words of encouragement, he easily became one of the reasons why Belle came out in the first place, and now he's one of her closest friends in the group.
