In Game Profile
Ellie was once a normal citizen of Paragon city until the day she was attacked by a gang of Hellions. A mysterious hero rescued her and as Ellie thanked him, he bestowed her with a gift. "You need to learn to defend yourself," he said, and offered her what looked to be a normal pair of gloves. Ellie soon discovered that these gloves were endowed with the same magic that gave her rescuer his superpowers. Remembering the words of her hero, Ellie completed her transformation into Belle and now dedicates her life to defending others.
Personality
Usually armed with a sarcastic remark about her situation, Belle tends to use humor to draw attention away from her potentially dangerous surroundings.
Powers
Belle is never found in public without her gloves, the source of her magical powers. Given to her by a former hero, she now keeps the original pair safely locked away while using the talents of Icon's finest to weave fragments of originals into the lining of her costume gloves.
Empathy
Belle is able to boost the hitpoints of an ally by focusing on them and allowing her bracer's energies to flow toward them. Over time she has developed the ability to raise recovery and regeneration rates, as well as revive fallen teammates.
Energy Blast
Belle's gloves also supply her with enough energy to focus into offensive blasts. These blasts are forceful enough to knock an enemy off their feet.
Additional Powers
Flight
She is able to fly by redirecting the energy from her gloves to the air around her. With effort she can even lift teammates.
Stealth
Another manipulation of the energy from her gloves.
Teleport
By focusing on a comrade, Belle is able to pull them to her side through teleportation.
Character History
Belle was my first attempt at a hero, and my very first venture into online gameing. She spent her first six levels street hunting in Atlas because she couldn't find her first contact and didn't know how to get onto a team. Her next four levels were spent in Kings Row trying to find Circle of Thorns durring the day. Two years later, when she reached level 14 and began to fly, her career really began to blossom. She focused on being the best empath she could and would appologize profusely if anyone died durring her missions. In June of 2006 at security level 20 she joined the Superbabes. She also began to aquire many boyfriends who would take her out to nice places like council caves and monkey hunting in Peregrine Island. In October 2006 she met Miguel Sanchez aka Deathspider, as well as his daughter from the future, Cherish Sanchez. Miguel and Ellie began dating in January of 2007 and after a whirlwind romance, married in March of 2007. In July of 2007 Belle left the Superbabes and joined The Angry Angels 5.0 (50s chapter) after teaming with the Angels many times and helping them defeat Hami (many times...). Belle still focuses on being the best empath she can be, although she no longer appologizes if teammates die, unless it's really her fault.

Trivia
Belle's original costume is orange and white, and her name was supposed to be "Crush" as in "Orange Crush". Thank the Lord that one was taken.
Instead she carries the moniker of a Disney Princess, and hopes that doesn't make her lose street cred.
Energy Blast was chosen for her secondary because the pictures were the prettiest. This is what happens when you let a newb make a character.
