My obsession: Bellatrix Black
Wednesday, 29 October 2008
If you've been following my blog for some time now, you'd have realized that I sometimes would have a random Fan Fiction post about Bellatrix Black. So now, what's up with me and my obsession towards Bellatrix? Honestly, I don't know. I guess it's her characteristics which draw my interest towards her in the first place and slowly it became an addiction that I couldn't let go, at least- not now or anytime soon.
It all started out back at the age of 16 or 17, I'm not so sure exactly, but it was then when Ashvini, my high school friend came up to me with an interest of setting up a Harry Potter's Marauders Era RPG. She confirmed that she'd be taking James Potter's character and her best friend CCY would be taking Sirius Black. Juliana would be taking up Severus Snape. Tien, Ash's primary school mate took Regulas Black. Instantly, I initiated that I wanted to take Lily Evans's character but she mentioned that it was already 'booked' by one of her overseas friend. Disappointed, I told her that I'd think about it and get back to her soon. Before the conversation ended, Ash suggested that I take Narcissa Black. I took that into consideration and look up on her character all over the net. Well, to cut the story short, I took that character in the end. Narcissa Black, was it. Being a real noob at this RPG thingy, I didn't start out as a good writer, the post was all messy and shitty. Then again, that RPG didn't last more than half a year before every other character owner got busy and stop posting as often as they used to and me on the other hand, had some issues to deal with so yeah, the RPG died. Ash decided to close it down.
Last year end, Ash suddenly had the inspiration AGAIN to set up a new Marauder's Era RPG and asked if I was interested in it. I was like "HELL YEAH!" She also mentioned that- herself, CCY and Juliana would stick back to their initial character which is James, Sirius and Snape. And Tien, decided to drop Regulas and take up Lucius Malfoy. I was excited about it but wasn't sure if I still wanted to keep Narcissa or choose another character. At that time, Bellatrix Black's character was newly introduced...to me, that is. The thing is, I already knew I wanted a Slytherin character, just not sure who to pick. I did my homework and researched on Bella's characteristics and found out that we had a lot of similarities. Needless to say, I choose Bellatrix Black in the end.
Now, what about Jack that I keep mentioning in those Bellatrix post? Well, Jack is 'owned' by Kel, also another primary school friend of Ashvini. Kel, being an interesting character himself, how could he not make Jack one too. I was drawn to Jack's character by the way Kel describe Jack and all, so I decided to work together with Kel to put in some sparks between Bella and Jack's abnormal friend/relationship in the RPG. That's where I got my inspiration in writing about Jack.
Btw, Jack only showed up only in the second RPG.
Only after a few months of exciting plots and post in the RPG, Ash close it down because most of them that had the main characters started to get busy AGAIN. But this time, I couldn't let it go, I wanted to continue writing...as Bellatrix Black. At the same time, I didn't want to let Jack go too. It's weird, but I am actually obsess with being Bellatrix enough to write about her in my blog when inspiration comes.
p.s.: The character Lily Evans never stayed long and the 'owner' of the character kept changing. That happened in both the first and second RPG. Jinx, I called it :)
