## Biography

### Canon

Madam Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) (1951) is a pure-blood witch, the eldest daughter of Cygnus Black III and Druella Black (née Rosier) and elder sister of Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy. She was a member of the House of Black, an old wizarding family and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Bellatrix started her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1962 and was Sorted into Slytherin House. She married Rodolphus Lestrange not long after graduation.

### Early Childhood (1951-1962)

“Lady-like” is not a term that was ever used to describe Bellatrix Black.  While she was raised in PureBlood society, she never truly “fit in” the way her youngest sister, Narcissa did.  In fact, she was the picture of a “wild child” and for many years was literally trailed by one of the family house-elves as the creature attempted to keep after the unkempt pureblood “princess” whose hands and clothes never seemed to stay clean for long (despite her mother’s impervious charms).

The daughter of Cygnus Black and Druella Rosier (Pureblood Radicals who were “courted” by the rising Dark Lord, Voldemort, before he attained real power), the young Bellatrix first met the wizard who would become her obsession at the tender age of 4 (for those of you counting, he was 29).  The details of their first encounter are fuzzy to Bellatrix, but she recalls that their meeting took place in the garden of the Black family’s home, and somehow involved a small rabbit, a rather surprising amount of blood, and an overwhelming sense of joy and delight.

### Hogwarts Years (1962-1969)

At Hogwarts Bellatrix got into fights.   A lot.  Only middling to fair at most of her classes in school (ranging from Dreadful at Care for Magical Creatures and Herbology to Exceeds Expectaions at Charms and Outstanding at DADA), she truly shone as a duellist.

Unlike the other witches in her year, she saw no reason to fawn all over boys (after all, she was better than any of them), though she did bully a few of them into attending various school functions with her to appease her parents.

Unfortunately for any would be suitors, Bellatrix’s standards were already far too high for them to meet.  The childhood crush she had developed for Tom Marvolo Riddle only grew as he grew in power.  Her idolization of the man turning him into an impossible dark god.  However, since the Dark Lord simply refused to be a normal wizard, Bellatrix was never disillusioned by the object of her devotion.

Her parents arranged her marriage to Rodolphus Lestrange (the least objectionable suitor she had).  After a few years, she even became fond of him and eventually, the two became the parents of Amber Lestrange.
