Professor Annabella Belle

By Professor Annabella

• July 9, 2014




Age: 27 (May change for roleplay)

Gender: Female

Species: Pegasus

Appearance: Posture wise, Anna holds her head high and seems pretty confident. Sometimes she can slouch when tired, but being raised by a pony that was all about being a proper mare, Anna makes it a priority to be proper most of the time. One of Anna’s key traits is her beautiful ocean blue eyes, with long eyelashes that are very pretty. Her colors are very golden, she has a blonde mane and lighter blonde coat. This may be the reason some of her friends called her ‘The Golden Girl’. Her mane is naturally curly, and so is her tail, but in a way that it’s neat. This mare never wakes up without attempting to brush her mane and tail, and brushing all of her coat. Anna’s wings are always preened, and she always is very clean and neat. The only exception may be when she’s overly stressed, and has a lot of work on her plate. Anna wears her white lab coat almost every day, a long blue scarf depending on if it’s cold or not, and for special events she wears simple dresses… nothing too fancy.

Cutie Mark: Anna Belle's cutie mark is a white, standard, microscope. It represents her talent in science, to be broader, in biology. Studying smaller things, such as cells in plants, and animal samples is only a part of her job. Despite being known for Biology, Anna really is great in all fields. She craves more knowledge for things she doesn’t know, in fields that challenge her. Her mentor taught her many other things surrounding how to be a proper professor. Staying organized, being proper, and having a quick mind. Professor White also helped Anna understand survival on the expeditions he sent her on. Being a single mother also taught her some fixing skills with a absence of a stallion in the house. So Anna seems to have quite a few skills, other than just being a scientist.

Personality: Growing up, Anna was very independent. It was a trait taken from her mother, and a trait that drove her parents nuts growing up. She always liked things a certain way, even when a toddler. If her parents put a diaper on her that she didn’t approve, she’d tear in off and throw a tantrum. This was with nearly everything, always causing her parents to struggle making her happy. Though she was a lot of work, even as a baby she was very affectionate and sweet. Her mother always called her a little diva, when little of course, but Anna seemed to change as time went on. She kept the aspect of her being independent, and having things go her way, but obviously handles them in a much more mature fashion. What she did keep was always being a daddy’s girl, for some reason, in her younger years Anna argued a lot with her mother.<br /><br />As a foal, Anna became much more reserved. She wasn’t as loud and hyper, but instead quiet. She wasn’t shy, but with ponies in school she seemed to avoid them. When ponies did interact with her, she just didn’t show interest. Instead Anna focused on her talent, and when that talent and life dream was compromised in a struggling period of her childhood, there were a lot of problems. Anna’s cutie mark is what freed her from her mom trying to make her a certain way, and at that point, she was open to grow the way she wanted to.<br /><br />Anna went into college an extremely brave mare. <br />Entering college at only 15, it was absolutely clear that she was a very intelligent pony. She can work with all sorts of numbers and sciences, on top of being a great problem solver. She was a little dramatic sometimes, but in college Anna was a pony who always strived to be better. Her friend situation came to a small group that was similar to her, but even then, Anna didn’t seem to be a very social pony. She had a life plan, and it was organized and perfect. Anna’s plans seemed to be a theme in her life.<br /><br />When Anna met her husband, she didn’t show much interest in him either. He’d do sweet things, and would give her attention, but she seemed to sometimes shrug it off. She was always focused on her work, and becoming a professor for the school. Don’t get her wrong, she still was affectionate and needed him, but didn’t give him the respect he deserved. Though starting a family was on a list of things she wanted to do with her life, Anna’s career goal still seemed to be her top priority. Eventually Anna couldn’t ignore that aspect of her life anymore when she became pregnant. Some of her own faults made her husband leave in what was a dark period in her life. After this period, Anna changed.<br /><br />Anna now is a single mother. She’s motherly, loving, and affectionate towards the child she was left with after her husband left her. She still shows the same traits, such as being independent and hard working towards goals, but now she has balance. Anna learned to be less selfish, and show interest in other ponies, and to help other ponies too. Friendship and motherhood are things now that dominate her life, being a smart friend, a good mother, and a productive mare. Her flaws still show sometimes, when things aren’t linear and to plan, she can get a bit off. Sometimes she can be dramatic when things go wrong too, but overall she’s a good mare. <br />

Backstory: Childhood<br /><br />Anna was born into the Belle family, from Diamond Pay and Hilgard Pay. Before she was even born, Hilagard passed away due to severe heart problems. After this had happened, Diamond (Her mother_ switched her last name back to ‘Belle’, being that it was a highly known family. The Belle family is known across Equestria as jewel miners, collectors, refiners, and sellers, and Diamond did just that in Cloudsdale after the passing of her husband. After Anna was born, Diamond opened a branch of ‘Deltum Jewelers’ in Cloudsdale, to continue her success and wealth as part of the family. This of course was after selling her husband’s shipping company, which made Diamond enough to start a warehouse, store, and refinery in Cloudsdale.<br /><br />In the wake of her husband’s sudden death, Diamond didn’t react in grief, but instead motivation for her name and for her baby. The company built up, and she couldn’t stay in the background, so Anna didn’t get as much attention as promised.<br /><br />Though her mother swore to love and respect her, Anna spent her days as a baby in the hooves of nurses and maids. She was taught well by the staff in her mother’s large and impressive mansion, but rarely saw her biological mother. Diamond was not only busy with business, but another habit after her husband’s death. Diamond loved to throw large and elaborate parties at her residence in the expensive side of Cloudsdale. These parties, weighted heavily with alcohol, smoking, and loud celebration, continued through Anna’s foalhood. The maids grew close to her though, she was treated very well, and eventually the parties started to slow down, but not until Anna was at least CMC age. The question was though, where was the love, attention, and respect Diamond promised to her daughter? Surely working and partying so much left little time to spend with her baby.<br /><br />Diamond kept to her word, and did spend a lot of time when she could, but in ways that Anna didn’t exactly like. The highest point in their interaction was when she was in search of her special talent. Anna was put in pageants, dressed up, and showed off as the perfect, pretty little filly, and she absolutely hated it. Diamond found this a perfect talent for her to have, and one she preferred. Though, Anna was so timid, quiet, and reserved, yet her mother wanted her to be a loud, obnoxious, and diva of a pageant filly. This is what made her a failure in contests, absolutely no heart or motivation to be in pageants, and it was also what made a rift between Diamond and her daughter for quite some time. Anna adopted mischievous ways, and a rebellious attitude towards her mom. No longer was she her little doll.<br /><br />Anna was at least 8 when she had to started to get depressed and lonely with the rift between her and her mother growing each day. She had to get close with somepony, since maids usually came and go, and she was home schooled. That pony turned out to be her aunt Linear, the financial genius behind her mother’s success. Linear would come over, have tea with her mother, and then spend some of her time with Anna. This is when she taught her all she knew about math, science, and history, way more advanced than her home school education. Linear also supported Anna not wanting to be part of the extravagance and expensive life style of a regular Belle family member. She became Anna’s hero quickly, for her birthday, Linear got her niece a science kit, since the subject was her strongest. This kit helped Anna figure out that she liked science, especially biology, a lot. One day, after a fight she had gotten in with Diamond, Anna went to explore in the swamps under Cloudsdale. Using her mini plastic telescope, she had seen many processes her biology book described, and Anna was able to point out each one. Her cutie mark appeared, and ever since, Anna had been a simple biologist. That cutie mark was a microscope.<br /><br /><br />College age<br /><br />Eventually Diamond and Anna’s tough relationship loosened up through her teens and young 20’s. Anna studied consistently after she found her cutie mark, and was given all sorts of tutors and help financially to make her as smart as she could be. Anna appreciated her simple studying though, and again, didn’t live in the extravagance her mother wanted her to. Living in a massive mansion, with all the bits in the world, you’d think she would have nice attire, but Anna didn’t. Anna’s wardrobe consisted of one dress for special occasions, one outfit for when she was out on the field, and of course, her beloved lab coat. This is when she adopted wearing her coat all the time. Anna’s education excelled, so she went to the highly advanced Canterlot University, to further her education, and find her place in her world.<br /><br />One fine, early August morning, she arrived at college. Diamond was upset to see Anna go, but she did, and finally Anna was given freedom in an entirely different environment. At first she was a bit of a nerd, always studying, and always staying on top of her classes, but as time went on, she made a group of friends. Those friends were the mutts of college, that didn’t fit anywhere else, not because they were odd in anyway, but because they were similar in the way that they didn’t try or want to make friends. They met by fate, and their bonds held strong. It was 3 friends, Melody, Markus, and Wright. Wright was a very mysterious pony that was always quiet and reserved, but also a bit suspicious, Markus was inspiring chef who was a bit of a goof, and Melody was a tomboyish DJ who wanted nothing to do with the university drama. Together they worked through college, together, as friends. Anna excelled, as expected. She had a perfect GPA, and rocked all of her science classes. It wasn’t very hard for her to get noticed.<br /><br />Senior year came around, and Anna was on her way to achieving some of the highest degrees with years of school. However, an old professor in the college, noticed Anna’s potential, and that she was one of a kind. Knowing the very rich Belle family, specifically her aunt, he offered Anna to be his apprentice. Professor White was his name, and he had a vision of Anna becoming the next great professor at the university, after him. All through senior year, Anna practiced in the labs with him, and learned greatly from the professor, but at the cost of losing her friends. Eventually, even here, she exploded with potential and greatness. 2 years afterwards, it landed her on the board, right after Professor White’s retiring. Her friends, long gone, had ditched Anna out of jealousy and how much she neglected them. At first they were glad for her, but then she acted in a way that made them feel that she was inferior. So her career came from her college days, but not at all did it bring her any friendship, which was something she needed.<br /><br /><br />Downfall<br /><br />The thing is about Anna, is that all her actions are supported with a logical reason. This is how Professor White taught her to be. So the reason she neglected her friends had logical backing, her logic anyway. Anna thought that her career was much more important than her social life, her entire life she learned that those parties and extreme popularity that Diamond always had, was bad. One thing that Anna never had, that she always dreamed and wished for, was a father. So it was logical in her mind that a boyfriend was necessary for her life, and that anyone would do. That stallion would be Chris Cross.<br /><br />Chris Cross had also gone to Canterlot University, with a full ride by hoofball scholarships. He was the jock of the school, and was very popular, unlike Anna. They made a very odd couple, but that was only with their personalities. Anna had kept her very pretty figure and appearance, she was very attractive and slim, unlike any other mare. Chris had started to date her, and Diamond pushed the relationship since he also belonged to a wealthy Equestrian family. Anna was just happy to say she had a stallion, and continued to focus on her work. Chris treated her pretty well, giving her thoughtful gifts, attention, and help with her job. Sometimes he could be pushy, and want her to be something she wasn’t, but Anna looked right over it. Eventually though, Chris went through a major injury his senior year on the hoofball team.<br /><br />When the two left college, Anna kept her steady job at the university, while Chris couldn’t find any jobs. All he knew was hoofball, but he suffered a major leg injury that disabled him. Anna slowly came out of her shell, at this point; she started making friends with her co-workers, and even met up with her old college friends. It was a slow incline, but Anna eventually had all her friendships back during the summer break of her 2nd year as professor at the college. There wasn’t much that could go wrong, except one thing. Chris was going the opposite direction Anna was, he lost all his friends, and didn’t have a job. His mood and personality went sour, making him be rude and mean to Anna, but yet, she ignored it because of how good things were going. By the middle of her break, Anna had figured out that she was pregnant with Chris’ foal.<br /><br />When Anna became pregnant, Chris’ decline was thrown into overdrive. He became even meaner, abusive even, to Anna. He didn’t want a foal, and he thought that it would take away any chance of him ever becoming an athlete again. It was a vision he couldn’t remove, one the possessed him, which was to go back to his glory days as a hoofball star. What he finally came into conclusion with, was that Anna was to blame. Anna was only an anchor in his progress. So after almost 5 months of constant fighting, yelling, and chaos, Chris eventually one night just disappeared, leaving Anna alone, heartbroken, and pregnant with his son.<br /><br />When this happened, Anna went into a downfall. Unlike before, when she was still bettering her education, her friends left her again, and this time her career declined too. She completely shut out her friends, so they were forced to leave her around the holidays of that winter. Also, she quit her job at the college, which devastated the staff. The city that once made her happy, joyful, and hopeful, made her sick. The only pony left was Diamond, and during her deep depression, Anna stayed in her mansion until securing a house in Ponyville. She wanted a restart with the baby. During the last month of her pregnancy, she situated herself in the house and decided to start over in Ponyville, instead of trying to fix her mess in Canterlot.<br /><br /><br />Present<br /><br />Anna lives in Ponyville, with her foal, Zeus. She named him Zeus not only because it was Professor White’s greatest fascinations in historical mythology, but because she knew that he would have to have extreme strength to get through his childhood without a father, like she did. The day he was born, Anna was absolutely miserable. Something that was supposed to be a very happy day, turned into a day of question. She wondered what she would do now, with a baby, and a new life. She didn’t have a job, but her family had plenty of money to support the very simple life she lived in Ponyville. It was a time of confusion.<br /><br />However, though confused what direction her life was heading in, there was always hope. Anna fell in love with her little foal, he reminded her nothing of Chris, but instead of herself and how innocent she once was. The devotion that once went into her career, her friends, and her relationship, now went into her tike, Zeus. Anna was encouraged to raise her son properly, in a environment that wasn’t a super lavish one, but instead a simple one with a lot of love she never had. Her job still hung on a string, she could always go back, but Zeus always held her back. Maybe someday in her future she’d go back, but today, Anna lives happily with her son on the eastern side of Ponyville.
