Batarina

***This character belongs to BattyPJ (aka p0ketiger on Wattpad)***

**Batarina**(real name **Bella**) is one of the main protagonists, previous antagonists, of PJ Masks. Voiced by **Lily Sanfelippo**, she is the second female member of the PJ Masks and the first renounced villain of the series.

## **Bio**

*Strong wings! Sharp claws! If you’re a villain, she’ll track you down with her super-sonar! Batarina may be a former villain, but she’s got the skills and the heart to tackle any challenge head-on! So “baddies” better beware Batarina!*

## **Personality**

Brave bordering on foolish, this quick-witted heroine never backs down from a challenge and has the scars to prove it. Batarina is known to be clumsy and has a few reoccurring slip ups, the two most common being how she stumbles every time she lands from gliding, and her reputation for crashing the Bat Copter almost every time she flies it. Even though her constant slip ups can be annoying to her teammates at times, Batarina never lets her clumsiness discourage her. She always finds a way to bounce back and takes any and every slip up as an opportunity to prove herself as a hero!

Being a former villain, Batarina is a little impish and brash, which tends to make her the scapegoat, but her bold nature and wide knowledge on villainy makes up for it. She also has a few villainous habits, like lying her way out of a problem and being a bit proud at times. However, despite her obnoxious wittiness and immature demeanor, Batarina is caring to her friends and is always there to cheer them up.

## **Background**

During the events of “Catboy and Gekko’s Robot Rampage,” Bella’s car was flipped over by Robette, causing it to slam to the ground with a thunderous CRASH!(this leading to Bella’s phonophobia) Shaken and confused by this event, Bella befriended Romeo, who confronted her later that same night due to persuasion from Robot, and had convinced her that the PJ Masks were at fault for what had happened. Bella, ever so determined to get back at the PJs, agreed to help Romeo defeat her newfound enemies. What Bella didn’t know, was that the power bracelet Romeo had invented, possessed only a small portion of *stolen* powers from the Bat Totem, whereas the PJ Masks’ are granted much power from their totems.

From that night forth, Batarina’s goal was to mess up the PJ Masks’ plans with any trick she could pull. She would slash the Cat Car’s tires, steal back Romeo’s inventions, help the other villains, and basically just show up right when the PJs are about to save the day and turn the tables in her favor.

On the night of the PJ Masks’ first encounter with Batarina(which occurred mid-season 2), Gekko was the first to point out the similarities between them and Batarina, seeing that her suit and powers were quite similar to theirs, and he and Catboy questioned if she could become a PJ Mask. This idea however was quickly shot down by Owlette, who found Batarina to be stubborn and annoying at the time.

As nights turned into weeks of back-to-back bat trouble, the PJ Masks not only continued to defeat, and save, Batarina, but also began to acknowledge her skills and potential as a hero. Batarina, on the other hand, was not so quick to like the PJs, being that she still believed what Romeo had told her: the PJ Masks were the ones who flipped her car in hot pursuit of chasing him, and not his malfunctioning Robette.
