Death Valet: Belinda Garth

Name:  Belinda Garth

Bio: Belinda Garth is one of the three siblings of Alistair, having been hatched from the same batch of eggs as him, and his sole sister.
Even from a young age, Belinda proved to be as much ‘rough and tumble’ as the rest of her siblings, often play fighting with them and looked up to their mother due to her occupation, which was the basis of her massive interest in martial arts.
The young alligator girl was a tomboy and had a tendency to be bullied by some of her more feminine peers because of it, despite acting otherwise she was a bit hurt inside due to it. She did enjoy hanging out with her brothers often, and through her childhood she took up fighting as a pastime, her mother having trained her personally. One of the ways Belinda learned to deal with her enemies and their insults was simply the knowledge that she could literally beat the living hell out of them if she wanted to, she eventually would do it for real but that was when she became a teenager.
While still a child she met her first friend outside of the family in Julia Freud, whom she first met when the young nerd was being bullied…and Belinda responded by literally beating the tar out of the bullies.
The two wound up becoming fast friends, and helped each other out with their own problems (Belinda even helping her friend learn how to defend and stand up for herself), and helped Belinda gain more self confidence. She even befriended a young Aurelia shortly after Alistair met her.
However, when she began to go through puberty she and Aurelia had a falling out, the cause of which shall be revealed later, but for now let’s just say that it’s based on a bit of a misunderstanding from both sides…
Now Belinda wasn’t pug ugly when she was a child but she was somewhat homely and at the time she’d just gotten braces, and was continually teased for them by her peers and that really pissed her off.
Julia felt real sorry for her friend and used her knowledge of science to help Belinda by removing the braces herself, and modifying her teeth so they were better. And it was shortly afterwards that the two friends were becoming quite beautiful, and Belinda decided she’d had enough of her bullies and finally did something about it.
Using her newfound looks (and in other cases her martial arts skills) she proceeded to get back at her bullies and humiliated them so thoroughly they finally got the hint and left her alone at last, they also left Julia alone by extension. Belinda was the top of the food chain now, and she’d fought her way up to it…but such matters as the popularity food chain didn’t interest her so she never really did anything with it.
She and Aurelia wound up developing into a large feud with her that’s stayed through the years since, and the two would often fight each other…but Belinda later began to get more ambitious in how she ‘attacked’ her rival: She started to sabotage her love life often, and that is the reason why Aurelia has had terrible luck in love; the two have been enemies for years and the whole feud has actually drove a rift between Belinda and Alistair.
Belinda went to college to keep Julia company and like her began to generally party and sleep around as opposed to study (Julia already knew more than anyone on campus, and Belinda’s preferred occupation didn’t really require a degree) and when she left, she entered the fighting world as a martial artist.
Belinda began to fight her way through the ranks, becoming a feared and respected force in the circle, frequently entering tournaments and winning them, amassing a lot of trophies and generally being viewed as a talented fighter, possibly one of the best there’s ever been. And Belinda is quite proud of her reputation, glad to finally be revered for what she does best.
At present, she’s just won a big intergalactic tournament, but when she got home she found out that somebody broke in and stole one of her trophies, and she’s spent the past few months trying to track down who stole it…

Personality and Mannerisms: Belinda is a highly talented martial artist and very proud of it, somewhat arrogant about it actually. She is aware that there are people better than her but is determined to make herself the best, and then become what she believes she is meant to become: The absolute best fighter there is. However, despite this she is still quite prideful both about her amazing looks and her ability as a fighter.
Belinda can also be a bit selfish, generally where food is concerned as she tends to view her own hunger before those of others for example. She isn’t completely, totally selfish but can be a bit more concerned with her own welfare and possessions at times. She used to be more so when she was younger though, but there’s still some obvious selfishness in her.
She’s often unconcerned with world events, and treats her fighting tournaments as more serious business. Her shallowness can often be overridden if the event literally is serious enough.
Despite her somewhat jerkish tendencies, Belinda isn’t really evil. For starters, while certainly an ‘arrogant kung fu gal’ she doesn’t lord this over people and doesn’t bully people. In fact she hates bullies and will actively beat up any she finds. And being a sadist or trying to commit horrible atrocities can also warrant her giving them a major beating.
She also cares about the well-being of her friends and family members (even though she may still display her arrogant tendencies around them, and this is a source of irritation for Alistair), and is quite protective of them, especially if one does attack them just to get at her. She can also be somewhat generous towards them, not all the time but she is more willing to share her things with them. Sometimes she’ll be generous with strangers, but this is rarer.
She also loves fighting very much, and is very enthusiastic about it. And tries to make sure she can always get in the best tournaments she can, one of her favorite parts being the rush and intensity these fights generally tend to get up to.
Belinda is (much like her friend Julia) sexually promiscuous and loves to sleep around a lot (to a ridiculous amount at times) though not a bisexual like her (though a couple of times she has had sex with Julia, but she views her as the only woman she’d actually let do this with her) she has slept around with just about as many men as Julia has as well. In her conquests the youngest she’ll go is eighteen, and refuses to get men who are married or have girlfriends to cheat on their partners, and anyone that does either is very likely to end up receiving a major asskicking from her. She also doesn’t use deceit in her seductions, though this is half out of ethics and half because she doesn’t actually need it.
She and Aurelia have been warring with each other for years, and Belinda generally tends to be quite rude to her, in addition she’s gone under a campaign to make sure she never gets a boyfriend through continual seduction of the men Aurelia dates (she won’t actually sleep with them though, as she doesn’t believe in that, she mostly just does it to prove that the men aren’t as faithful as Aurelia thought, which  is what does tend to ruin the relationships), she believes that (due to their feud and how it started) it’s justified, but this feud is now running almost purely on force of habit (both with her and Aurelia) and both of them don’t realize it has to stop. And on some level, Belinda does recognize that it does need to stop, but refuses to admit it.
Belinda has had several male admirers in the past, but does hold some level of affection for Ednit Mritue, however ,while she has taken a liking to him and slept with him a couple of times, she isn’t interested in a relationship with him because of how she loves sleeping around even more.
Belinda is also very protective of her trophies, viewing them as proof that she’s not the kind of loser that her bullies often claimed she was, and just taking or damaging one can really piss her off.

Powers, Skills, and Equipment: Belinda does not generally use ranged weapons or really weapons at all…because she feels she does not need them.
She is a powerful, highly trained martial artist, of incredible skill that can put her on par with a superhuman opponent.
She was taught by her mother how to fight, and was taught everything her mother knows (said mother being a practitioner of multiple martial arts, including Kung Fu, Wushu, Five Animals, Huaquan, and T’ai chi ch’uan), she learned from others too and is in some ways actually better than her mother at fighting, though the fact she isn’t totally disciplined tends to be her weakness.
She isn’t particularly rigid about her fighting style and will often mix up the moves she uses in fighting, she even uses her tail in combat.
Belinda is also quite strong physically, capable of smashing solid concrete with her bare hands. But her real physical strength is in her speed, agility, dexterity, and balance which actually are pretty much superhuman, capable of outrunning cars when she wants to and easily dodging bullets. She’s also built up a very high tolerance for pain over the years of fighting she’s done.
As you could also guess, Belinda is quite clever and intelligent, capable of figuring out some pretty effective battle strategies even on the fly. She’s also pretty skilled in the art of seduction and can even do this in the middle of battle to distract and disorient her opponents.
Her skill is such that Aurelia (whose feud with her has got the two fighting each other at times, physically I mean) reluctantly admits that the only reason she can actually fight for any period of time is because of her precognitive abilities, in fact she’s really the only person Belinda hasn’t been able to beat because of them.

Appearance: Unlike her brothers, Belinda looks more humanoid than any of them.
For starters, she has the shortest snout out of all four of them, and has a more humanoid face, even actually having black hair that she wears in a Pixie Cut.
Belinda is a very attractive woman, to a Julia Freud extent and has breasts that are around the same size, green eyes, a great ass, and a pretty good figure though unlike Julia it’s more like a Gymnast’s figure.
She’s about six feet, five inches tall and has quite smooth scales, her tail also considerably skinner and more elegant than those of your usual alligator but still quite strong and able to propel her through water just fine. Lastly in terms of her physical appearance, she keeps the claws she has on both her hands and feet cut quite short and manicured.
The usual outfit she wears is a black, skintight jumpsuit with a sizable cleavage window and exposes a good portion of her back (hence why she uses no tailhole like most alligators normally would) in addition to a matching pair of tabi boots. Occasionally she’ll wear different outfits, but they generally tend to be just as revealing, if not more so.

Other: Belinda was originally less like the character she currently is (though numerous aspects of her characterization remained the same) version and more like an attempted parody of Bayonetta…which wouldn’t have turned out too well due to the fact I’d only seen trailers of the game. I decided to redo her and play the martial arts angle when designing her. Which is in my opinion, something that resulted in a much better version of the character this time around.
