It didn’t matter if Bellatrix thought negatively about muggle-borns she just wanted her sister to be safe. She was safer away from their parents anyway. In fact in my opinion she never really stopped caring about her until Azkaban, I think she pretended to hate her when she came out about Ted Tonks, but only did so so that Andy would run away and live her life with the man she loved. We can assume as a child she felt the same for Andy. Even at the height of her insanity her sister is the most important thing to her. Only when her sister is in potential danger does Bellatrix doubt her master. Cissa wants to go to him and ask him to keep Draco safe, but Bellatrix advises against this. Bellatrix would follow Voldemort's orders to the ends of the Earth, but the second she is asked to trust Snape, she says that Voldemort has made an error in judgement. Even after joining Voldemort and going insane she makes it very clear how she feels about Narcissa. She used herself as their shield because they were the most important thing to her. She was the oldest and cared greatly for her younger sisters, and probably did her best to take any of the abuse that was going to be given to Narcissa or Andromeda. Bellatrix, who had too many expectations to live up to, so many roles to fill, and no positive reinforcement from parents who just abused her if she messed up. In order to cope with the trauma and her unwanted marriage, she just blocked all emotion to keep herself sane, only showing it for Draco.Īnd then we come to Bellatrix. She embodies the whole “Ice Queen” personality. I think Lucius was supposed to be married to Andy but when she ran away, the Blacks had to hold up their end of the deal with the Malfoy’s and so Narcissa was married off to him. Depending on where you stand, she either could have been forced into a marriage with him, or they were in love as teenagers and got lucky enough that their parents arranged for them to marry each other. She cares about Bella still, she just doesn’t show it because she wasn’t allowed to as a child. The only person she truly cares about is her son, Draco. As an adult she is very cold and unemotional. Obviously as an adult she actively practices the same beliefs her parents did, but as a teenager I don’t see this as being who she was. Narcissa shut off and blocked all her emotions. Each of the sisters have a unique way of dealing with this. At best, Druella was a silent wife subjected to abuse from her husband and ultimately was unable to keep her children safe at worst she actively joined Cygnus in abusing their children. We can also assume that they weren’t exactly the kindest parents. Cygnus and Druella Black almost certainly wanted a son to carry on their name, especially given Walburga and Orion had both Sirius and Regulus. Pureblood society is extremely archaic, if the treatment of muggle-borns is anything to go by, so we can safely assume that they are a very patriarchal society. Marry young and marry a rich pureblood, carry on the family name and power, and secure a high social standing. Although not stated in canon, (because apparently she’s too minor a character to deserve a backstory) it is presumed that all the duties of a male heir fell to her in a way. Bellatrix is the oldest of the Black sisters, and has no brother. The warriors are also much more robust than their mainland counterparts, with stocky builds and robust features - they remind you of your own people, leaving you in awe. Their faces are painted in stark lines of red and white, some across their noses and cheeks and under their eyes, others over their chins and foreheads the makeup is so similar to Water Tribe markings that your eyes widen, unable to stop yourself from leaning in as you attempt to get a better look while also remaining dignified. Each person present is decorated in baroque jewelry, glimmering gold and laced with vibrantly colored beads placed in intricate, deliberate patterns. Zuko falls into step beside you, taking your arm in his as you approach the group of visitors gathered before the throne their clothing suggests Fire Nation, but from a different world, ancient to the point of almost primal. The throne room is silent - empty save for your entourage and guests - but a constant, electric buzz seems to hang in the air.
