Belle

Belle is a Human Heart fighter at Tier 3. She is a non-player character.

Background
Little is known about Belle's background, other than that she and her brothers Arrick and the Cat grew up as orphans. At some point, they came to Tier 3, seeking a steady living and an escape from the city streets.

Tier 3
Belle is a Heart fighter. Her teammates at Tier 3 were her siblings, and the three rose in status despite their young age, as they were quick on their feet and good at thinking outside the box. She first encountered the party during an Objective game in which her team were their primary opponents. She held off River, giving the Cat time to escape with the Objective, a golden ring.

Belle was present at Tier 3 when the bomb threat was announced, and she and her siblings quickly became involved in trying to solve Rico's trail of clues. She skipped the Farewell Ball in order to continue working on this task.

Belle's team entered a tentative alliance with the party during the bomb search. She and River spent much of their free time in the library together, investigating leads and commiserating over their places as Heart fighters.

After Bingle stole Arrick's journal, the teams began working separately again, and as such Belle and her siblings were not present when the riddle was solved. However, due to their work up to that point, Rico considered them to be good potential candidates for apprenticeship, and abducted them as well.

Rico's Labyrinth
Belle and her siblings participated in Rico's labyrinth, designed to test them against River, Kefz, and Bingle.

Due to Io's transmission delaying the party, Arrick, Belle, and the Cat arrived in the Minotaur Room first, but struggled defeating the monster. Belle, as the leader of her team, attempted to direct her sibling's attacks strategically. Belle was last seen yelling a warning to the Cat shortly before he was killed by the Minotaur's axe blow: her cry was the last thing the party heard before being rescued by Io.

Belle's current status, whereabouts, and plans remain unknown.

Personality
Belle is the dominant force on her team, often speaking for her siblings, who are more quiet and have a difficult time interacting with others. She claims it was her direction that kept her family alive during their rime as orphans in the city streets. Belle is tactically and strategically talented, and serves as the captain during Arena games. She is very protective of her brothers.

Appearance
Belle has blonde-brown hair, which she wears up in a side bun, fair skin, and hazel eyes. She stands just slightly shorter than Arrick and taller than the Cat.

Belle is the middle child, but is often mistaken for the oldest due to her tendency to represent her brothers. Belle is likely between thirteen and fifteen.
