## *Appearance*

### First seen

Hell is Empty

**Louise Belcher** is a *powerful death - sensing witch* and one of the main female characters in *Legacies*. She is the younger sister to **Tina** and **Gene** **Belcher**, and the third born child to **Bob** and **Linda Belcher**.

She is best friends with **Nyla Moon**, **Elijah Goldsworthy**, **Rowan Ryu**, **Theodore Kang**, **Hope Mikaelson**, and **Andrew Ryu**, and close friends with **Kendall Rivas** and **Honey Moon**.

Louise is a member of the **Belcher** and **Genarro** family.

## Early Life

**Louise Belcher** was born on *Christmas Day, 1994*, making her a *Sagittarius,* to the Belcher witch **Bob Belcher** and the Genarro witch **Linda Belcher**.

## Throughout the Legacies Series

In *Hell is Empty*, as Louise began her sophomore year at Montrose High School, it is revealed that her style changed greatly over the course of the summer, and that she finally started to come into her own via her new form of expression, even going as far as to not wear her Bunny ears on the first day. However, we are quick to find out that there is far more than meets the eye when it comes to Louise.

Most noticeably, she seems to be quite worn out, seeming like a half version of herself, as it is revealed in the second scene in the Pilot episode, that she has not been sleeping well for days, plagued with nightmares, and later revealed that she had been hearing voices, that of which were able to break through her conscious and appear on her *Kuchi Kopi* walkie-talkie.

After taking magical herbs prescribed by Nyla, we are met with her natural self, a *bright* and *hilarious* girl with an affinity for music, drawing, and sugar. However, at the end of the Pilot episode, the magical herbs had worn of, the voices resurfacing and leading her to the *Mournbury woods*, where Louise was attacked and bitten by **The Shinigami Prince, Andrew Ryu**, before ultimately going missing for three days.

## Personality

### Before the events of Hell is Empty

Louise is a *bright, mischievous*, yet *manipulative* teenaged girl, especially considering her place as the youngest in her family. Frequently seen giving her older siblings (and adults) advice and making quick-witted remarks, she displays many signs associated with *high intelligence*. These include her tendencies towards being *aloof* and *manipulative*, but also encompasses her *cunning, logic*, and *problem solving skills*. She also tends to be *very* loud and **often** shouts at the top of her lungs to get her points across.

Despite Louise's *mischievous nature* she is not *generally* malicious. Though she *loves* a good prank, she never aims to hurt anybody. Despite this, she has been known to go overboard.

### After the events of Hell is Empty

After being bitten and attacked by **Andrew Ryu**, it not only triggered her latent Banshee abilities, which likely would not have manifested until age sixteen, if at all, Louise experienced fugue states, hallucinations, nightmares, and other terrifying symptoms that severely diminished her state of mind along with her social status at school. Even after Andrew had left her consciousness, she has still regularly been traumatized by the deaths she would come to witness and the corpses to which she was drawn as a result of being a *Harbinger of Death*.

Over time, however, the losses, injuries, and stress she has endured have matured her beyond her years and have made her begin to repress the pain and trauma, keeping it to herself rather than seeking support in dealing with the complicated emotions that resulted.

## Physical Appearance

Physically, Louise is a very beautiful and attractive young woman with a sienna complexion paired with an oval shaped face, deep brown eyes which are usually described as *Bambi* and *Golden Retriever* eyes in the script, curly, dark brown hair that can be described as being shoulder-length. In later Season One episodes, Louise has long thin brown Goddess Braids, blond highlights. Louise has *soft* and *gentle* facial features and she has quite a *delicate* appearance. In fact, it is mentioned a couple of times that there is something rather dreamy about her physical appearance, and show runner and writer Ariel Sim said that "though Banshees are usually portrayed to be ghastly, I decided to go the opposite way: you get a little *cognitive dissonance* where you experience *Louise* both as such a *bright* and *beautiful* girl, while also being haunted with *Death*, a *irreversible cessation* of all biological functions that sustain an organism." Though, she did take into account that the banshee's stature as **short**, anywhere between *one foot and four feet*, with Louise being on the taller side *for a Banshee*, not so much any *other* group.

In addition to that *cognitive dissonance,* her style leans toward a toned down version of *Gothic and Punk* design to convey "Gothic imagery of the *Shinigami* and that world", due to her close connection with death, namely, **Prince of Death** and **Incubus of Death**. Not really one for blending in, her style changed completely by the time she reached tenth grade, her clothing now consisted of full black attire, including visible thongs, tight jeans, and short and revealing tops, black nails, as well as black eyeliner to compliment her look. Louise tends to wear cross jewelry, a multitude of piercings in her ears, as well as navel, and dainty tattoos done by Kendall Rivas.

Style wise, Louise is amongst the girls that are often seen on mood boards due to their impeccable fashion sense.

## Powers and Abilities

There was little known about the *Death Sensing Witch* before the arrival of a teenaged *Louise Belcher*. It was known that Lily Belcher possessed a wide range of supernatural powers that could be used for various effects. However, Due to Louise's *innate nature* being awoken by the **Prince of Death** himself, before she was at the correct age, Louise has gained some *new* powers that even the *Original Death Sensing Witch* did not anticipate, in addition to having some of her preexisting powers *amplified*. However, as the series progresses, Louise's powers grow *stronger and stronger*, as does her level of control over them, making her a *formidable opponent*.

### Powers

* **Harbinger of Death Sense**: As a Banshee, Louise can feel when someone has died and can predict when someone is close to death. This is usually accompanied by a trance-like state that draws her to those who are dead or near-death, though, with practice, she has gotten better at being aware of what she's doing when this happens. During her first-ever Banshee fugue state, she walked from her home to the Mournbury woods where the *Prince of Death* was located. In one of her most recent fugue states, Louise was able to remain conscious enough that she could give Elijah and Rowan instructions on how to get to the body whose death she had just sensed.
* **Clairaudience**: The ears of a Banshee are naturally tuned to levels of the universe that only they can hear. This gives them an ability to discern details of a person's death (or impending death) through the sounds they can perceive which no one else can. Louise was able to hear flies warn her about the Nogitsune's presence in Mournbury and electricity to warn her about a Mikaelson enemy's escape and intent to kidnap and kill Honey Moon.
* **Premonitions**: As a Banshee and Harbinger of Death, Louise has the power to experience premonitions that allow her to sense a person's death, which usually allows her to discern how a person dies, where they die, and/or what will cause the death in the first place. This power is most often used as an extension of her power of clairaudience, as the supernatural phenomena that she can sense with her enhanced hearing can take the form of auditory premonitions of a supernatural-related death; Louise was able to foresee an impending death after she had an auditory premonition involving wolves growling and fighting each other and heard a wolf telling another that he couldn't let the wolf kill him. She has also received clues as to others who were in danger. However, as Louise's powers grow, her premonitions have evolved from being purely auditory to being visual as well, making it easier for her to interpret what her premonition is trying to tell her. Louise's premonitions are not always literal and can often be up for interpretation, especially given the fact that the premonitions do not typically include every single detail of a person's death, which is how her version of premonitions differ from Honey Moon's.
	+ **Astral Premonitions**: Louise's power of premonitions has recently advanced so much that she was able to astral project herself into a premonition involving a person's memory. This allowed her to walk within the memory as though she were actually there, seeing every detail and being able to pause and explore the areas she chose, as well as giving her the power to physically interact with the objects and people in the memory; this was evidenced by the fact that she was able to touch Lily on the shoulder in her premonition and affected her with her Banshee wail.
* **Divination**: As a Banshee, whose powers are often referred to as and/or compared to psychics, Louise can use divination to gain information about the deaths her Banshee instincts are sensing. The various means of divination that Louise has tried to seek out more information are sometimes used in conjunction with her other Banshee abilities.
	+ **Sound Divination**: Louise, using her power of clairaudience, can divine for information by using sound vibrations to trigger her ability to perceive supernatural energies. She frequently uses this ability.
	+ **Psychometry**: Louise can discern information about a person's death by making physical contact with an object belonging to the person in question.
	+ **Automatic Writing**: Louise can gain information by going into a trance-like state and writing or typing.
* **Harbinger Connection**: As a Banshee, Louise has a somewhat psychic connection to other Banshees, which she can use to telepathically communicate with them, even if they are miles away from her. However, this is an ability that must be consciously activated, and as a result, Louise is still learning the full scope of how to use this power. She has been able to use this connection to communicate with fellow Banshee Lily Belcher, allowing her to pass messages along to her. Additionally, she seems to have a similar connection with the Ryu family (specifically Andrew Ryu), since the Ryu's are also harbingers of death; this is what allowed Andrew to enter her mind in *Hell is Empty*, though neither of them seems to be fully aware of this connection and how it works, as Andrew was not *actively trying* to unlock these abilities.
* **Banshee Scream**: As a Banshee, Louise has a powerful voice that can be used to produce various effects based on what is needed at the time. This wail can be used consciously or unconsciously.
	+ **Death Announcement**: Louise's wail is most often used as a warning of someone's impending death, or as a signal that someone has just died; it is most often used by Louise after she has found a dead body while in a fugue state. This type of wail was used when she was unconsciously drawn to Derek's loft when it was believed that he was going to die.
	+ **Premonition Enhancement**: Louise's scream can also be used to clear ambient noises from her auditory channels so that she can focus her attention on the specific sounds that she needs to hear as part of an auditory premonition. For example, Louise once used this power when she was unable to truly interpret the sound of electricity that she was picking up with her clairaudience power; after she screamed, she was able to clear out all of the other unnecessary sounds so that she could realize that it was actually electricity she was hearing and not buzzing flies.
	+ **Concussive Force**: Louise's wail can be used in an active or offensive manner as well; when a Banshee wail is given focus and direction, it can shatter bulletproof glass, overload electronics, burst eardrums, and create concussive blasts that can throw a full-grown man across a room. Louise is known to use her screams to augment her already-formidable close-quarters combat skills. She can also channel her scream through her hands, using them to guide the force of her voice toward her target, which gives her greater control over where the power is focused. Due to her powers manifesting at a younger age by such an important figure, Louise's scream was powerful enough to shatter a skull and instantly kill a victim.
	+ **Supernatural Immunity**: As a Banshee, Louise is immune to the effects of many supernatural phenomena. A bite from a Werewolf will not kill her.
	+ **Supernatural Sensitivity**: Louise has been described as someone who can sense and seek out the supernatural by Lily Belcher, and has demonstrated a highly-enhanced intuition regarding the supernatural ever since her Banshee powers were activated in Autumn 2009.
* **Fear Manipulation**: Louise can manipulate and amplify the fears of those she touches to create nightmares for her victims.
	+ **Fear Perception**: Louise is capable of viewing the deepest fears of an individual in a hyper-realistic manner by touching an exposed part of their body. This ability allows her to gain insight on how she can manipulate others.

### Bob Belcher

**Bob Belcher** is *Louise's* father. Louise and her father have many things in common, and she seems to have acquired Bob's quirk of making inanimate objects talk. Bob and Louise's close relationship can be seen in various episodes, but especially when she becomes distraught over the possibility of losing touch with her father as she ages. Louise becomes jealous when Bob pays attention to others, including his plants, and to other children, including her own siblings. Shim Changmin, who portrays Bob, claims that he believes Louise is Bob's favorite child.

### Linda Belcher

**Linda Belcher** is *Louise's* mother. Linda and Louise's relationship is not always easy, as Louise has been a known daddy's girl since she was a baby. The two undoubtedly butt heads as Linda tries to parent willful Louise well. While Louise loves her mother their relationship can appear to be strained, Bob recognizes that Louise needs to have her space and be herself, Linda is often overbearing and unintentionally pushing Louise away.

However, they are undeniably very alike, which furthers the notion that Louise is a perfect blend of each parent, sharing a love of mischief and a tendency to take things too far, but a strong sense of justice, it is shown that Louise and Linda go to a pet store to pet the puppies. Louise knows an employee there and a puppy that she always pets, Colonel Fluffles.

* Louise can often be found in scenes with some form of sugar in hand, most notably, *Pocky*, a Japanese sweet snack food.
* It is safe to say that Louise is a very hyperactive person, and *needs* to be taking advantage of her favorite hobbies, whether it be growing her collection of *Sonny Angels, Stuffed Animals, Funko Pops* or *various toys* that are based on *Japanese Folklore*, *listening to music*, *songwriting*, *dancing*, *drawing*, *cooking*, or *playing one of her multiple guitars.*
	+ In *Hell is Empty*, it is revealed that she has at least *two* guitars, a *Martin D-45 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar*, and an *Epiphone Les Paul Muse Electric Guitar* in *Pearl White*.
* Louise has five animals: two samoyed puppies named **Nezuko** (because she bites down on people's fingers and tries to hold their fingers in her mouth) and **Tanjiro** (because Nezuko and Tanjiro from the Anime *Demon Slayer* are brother and sister, much like Louise's puppies), a lynx point coat ragdoll cat named **Nana** and a white coat ragdoll cat named **Hachi**, as well as a white and brown American Fuzzy Lop bunny named **Stitch**.

In the same way, all this affection could be mainly due to the fact that she is the youngest in her house.
* Louise has always had a mature way of thinking for her age, and can come up with very elaborate and calculating plans and strategies, however, as demonstrated in multiple episode, it is her own emotions and her own sense of justice that make said plans and strategies fail at times.
