Character History: Bela was born in England and given the name “Abby” by her parents. But her childhood was a rough one and she grew up with a sexually abusive father . Alone, withdrawn, depressed from this life the demon Lilith found her and offered to end her suffering for her, that she would get rid of her parents. And even though the price for that was the hefty cost of her soul, she wanted out of the situation so badly that she agreed to the terms. She was only fourteen when she made the deal, and it was at that age that her parents got into a ‘car accident’ and she became an orphan who inherited her parents’ life insurance.
After that she took on a new name and started a new life.
With her life clock ticking with a meager ten years left, she sought out the best life she could. Now very aware of the supernatural side of the world, she used this information to make her life cozier, make herself wealthier, to enjoy the ride before her time was up. She became a scam artist, selling charms and seances to rich old ladies. But what really kept her in a nice apartment and expensive cars was her job stealing and selling supernatural objects to the highest bidder.
By communicating with the spirits she’s able to discover and locate rare supernatural artifacts, and then it’s just a matter of retrieving them. But while making a quick and big buck is important to Bela, she’s very aware of her own mortality, so she tends to be careful about the jobs she takes. When she discovers an unlucky rabbit's foot that a buyer is willing to spend 1.5 million dollars for her to get, she hires two common thieves to steal the box from a booby-trapped storage unit. And for mere pennies on the dollar, she lets them trip traps and get shot and take all the risks to retrieve the object. And she doesn’t care that they get hurt in the process, far more focused on the fact that she didn’t get hurt.
However, she’s not quite fast enough to get to the rabbit foot before the Winchester brothers show up to reclaim the item stolen from their dad’s storage unit. And it’s here that she has her first run in with them. It isn’t hard to steal from them, even if she knows that stealing the foot from someone who’s already touched it inevitably means they die, it’s not in her interest to care. Even when Dean finds out where she lives and explains the situation and confronts her on what she’s doing, her easy reply is that she doesn’t care and that “they’re all going to hell anyway, so might as well enjoy the ride.” And that tends to be her cold outlook on life. She believes that the world can’t be saved and more importantly that she can’t be.
Dean’s able to steal the foot from her and get away. But she catches up with them in the graveyard before they can destroy it and demands to have it back. When they refuse, she shoots Sam, honing in on the obvious fact that Dean cares about his brother and that’s an emotion she can manipulate. Dean tricks her into touching the foot though and she reluctantly lets them burn it in order to remove the curse from herself. As a consolation prize, she steals forty-six thousand dollars worth of scratch off tickets from Dean as she leaves though.
Bela sells charms and does seances for little old ladies to make easy money on the side, when one of her customers has a relative die by supernatural terms, she hires Bela to look into the issue. Deciding to simply make a quick buck, she tells the woman that the case has been solved when the reality is she hasn’t done anything about it. She doesn’t expect the old lady to know any better, but then Dean and Sam come in and tell her it hasn’t been and the old lady cancels Bela’s check. Annoyed at their meddling, she steals Dean’s car and takes it on a joyride before parking it in a tow-away zone and calling it in and then she was sure to be around when Dean had his panic attack over it. She seems to take some pleasure in taking revenge when she feels slighted, it’s a way to take some control over the situations in her life that would otherwise be beyond her control.
Dean asks her how she could possibly understand what is going on in the world and not do anything about it and she claims that she’s made the healthy choice between them. She thinks that hunters are people with vendettas who murder in the name of revenge and that they’re a stone-throw away from being serial killers, while she simply comforts old women and makes them feel safer and sells trinkets to people with more money than sense. She thinks the world is doomed anyway and sees no reason to stick her neck out for it.
Even when she comes to the boys with information on the case and a way to solve it, her true intentions are to steal the item that would actually end the case and sell it to a buyer for a pretty penny. But she uses the boys as to get it out of its case in a museum and immediately sells it off. But as soon as she sells it, she sees the ship that’s killing people and knows that she’s their next target.
It’s hard for her to go to Sam and Dean and ask for help, especially when they’re furious with her, but she has no other hope for surviving. So she apologizes for the insults. She begs. She nearly cries. But when they explain that the ship targets people responsible for murdering a family member and tell her to explain herself, that’s when she shuts down and refuses to admit anything, saying only that ‘Nobody understands.’ And then she claimed she would do what she always did, she would take care of herself.
The boys manage to figure out a way to save her after all and in return for their work Bela pays them ten thousand dollars. Dean makes the comment that she could have just said ‘thank you’. But she claims this way she isn’t in their debt. Once again, it seems that having full and total control over what time she has left in her life is of the utmost importance to her.
At one point, Bela is confronted at gunpoint to give away Dean and Sam’s location to Gordon, and she tells him that she doesn’t take to threats very well and refuses despite the obvious danger of the situation. She does however, give him the information once he agrees to make an exchange for a priceless item. She’s aware that the boys had saved her life but makes the deal because she actually believes them capable of handling one hunter and she says as much when Dean calls her to confront her about selling him out. But when he threatens to kill her for the betrayal, she consults the spirits and calls him back with information on Gordon’s where-abouts in order to make amends for the situation and to hope that Dean wouldn’t chase after her. So, while Gordon’s threat at gunpoint means little to her, she takes Dean’s far more seriously because despite the constant insults she tosses their way, she’s wise enough to know that they’re good.
As her ten years gets closer to running out, Bela makes a new deal with the cross-roads demon, her soul in exchange for the colt-a special gun that can kill demons that is possessed by the Winchester brothers. So, under the pretense of trying to help them bring Bobby (the boys’ close friend and father-figure) out of a coma, she steals the colt from their safe and takes it to Crowley while avoiding the brother who are actively trying to hunt her down.
However, when she tries to make the exchange they tell her that there’s another part of the deal she has to accomplish first; she has to kill Sam Winchester. While Bela doesn’t care about the lives of other people, she’s not exactly a killer by her own hand and she seems to have some professional respect for Sam and Dean. However, when it’s her life on the line, she attempts to complete this part of the deal too. She comes out of hiding, knowing that the brothers are looking for her and will eventually find her.
So while she acts the part, she’s not all that surprised when she comes inside to find Dean in her apartment-the problem being that Sam wasn’t with him. So she plays the frightened part, allows Dean to manhandle her so she can steal a receipt out of his pocket and find out where Sam is. It’s all part of the plan until he tells her he knows who she killed. He thinks she killed her parents for the insurance money. And while that paints her as an absolute cold monster, to Bela it’s far easier than admitting the truth. So she agrees with him, says that her parents were “lovely people” and she still didn’t give a damn about their death. Because Bela would never admit she was a victim, even if it would have won her some sympathy in the end.
Dean leaves and Bela follows him to his hotel, finds two lumps in the bed and promptly shoots one after the other in quick succession, well aware that if she kills Sam but not Dean her life is as good as over anyway. But when she realizes she’s been set up, that the lumps are sex dolls, she knows her life is over. Shell-shocked, she answers the phone when it rings, crying, she admits that she needs help. But it’s too late. And before she dies she tells Dean who holds all the cross-demon contracts, including his own in hopes that since she can’t be saved, she can at least have Dean get revenge on the demon that’s going to kill her. In that regard, she honestly isn’t all that different from the rest of the hunters she turns her nose down at. She got revenge on her parents for her abusive childhood, and she wants revenge on Lilith for her untimely end.
Abilities/Special Powers: She can communicate with spirits (with the aid of spells and devices like ouija board) and gather information from them if they are feeling particularly chatty at that moment in time. This is a particularly worth-while skill when she’s trying to find the location of supernatural objects.
She’s good with a gun and tends to favor smaller lighter pistols that are easy to conceal, but she is seen with an assortment of different types which indicates she has sufficient skill and control with most smaller firearms.
She’s also a good actress. Many of her jobs require her to take on personas, from waitresses, to reporters, to girlfriends in order to get closer to her targets.
She’s an excellent thief. From pick-pocketing to opening safes.
Third-Person Sample: There was no saving her, she was far from her protective warding-and it was only a bandaid anyway, she hadn’t managed to kill Sam, and she hadn’t managed to find any other loophole through her contract, and Dean had hung up on her. She was going to die and she knew exactly where she would end up. In those final moments, the ten years she had lived lavishly and excitingly and most importantly without ever being the victim, it all meant so very little. She was scared, and those howls brought shivers down her spine. But she wouldn’t run. It’d do no good. So she stood there and waited as the hell-hound broke down the door and charged at her.
There was pain. So much pain and it felt like she was drowning in it. Each breath grew weaker, each exhale became wet with blood-
But then she surfaced, found herself in what looked like a swimming pool. There was water burning in her lungs and she frantically swam toward the stairs, clinging to the railing as she pulled her upper-half out of the water. For several painstaking moments there was nothing more important than coughing out the lukewarm water, than inhaling until finally she could breath. And then confusion set in.
Was she alive? Was this her first glimpse into hell? She had been expecting fire and brimstone, not a climate-controlled indoor pool with clean waters. Hefting herself up, her hands immediately when to her stomach where she could remember the first slash of razor sharp claws. But she was fully intact. The worst part of the situation seemed to be that her leather jacket had gotten wet-water was so bad for leather. But that was a loss that was more than easy to accept, and she slid the jacket off her shoulders and dumped it unceremoniously on the tiled floor. Whatever this place was, it had to be better than hell. Right?
First-Person Sample: [Bela is standing in front of the camera, dressed in pants and shirt and a brown leather jacket-rather common clothing, but behind her is a large pile of clothing that ranges from suits to dresses to waitressing uniforms.]
So. The closet? It’s a very nice touch, I have to admit. Though, I do have to wonder, with free food and board and clothing, what becomes valuable in a place like this? Is there a currency in particular items? Favors? Souls? [And there’s a wry smile there to indicate that might possibly be a joke.] Or are we doing the whole altruistic society angle?
