Trinity Bell

-Basics-

Face Claim: Rachel Weisz

Name: Trinity Bell
Age: 32
Gender: F
Species: Medium (Psychic Human)
Height: 5'6

Fashion: Trinity chooses her clothing mainly based on texture, but she does recruit either her cousin Maia or someone at the store to help her make sure she knows what she's getting. After that, she can tell things apart by touch to plan her outfits. She tends to pick darker colors because she finds it easier to get away with combining them, rather than wearing bright colors. Her favorite things are soft sweaters or silky pajamas.

Physical Description: A woman of average height and build with dark hair and eyes. Her distant gaze gives her away as blind, although sometimes people see her eyes focus on nothing at all. She wears her dark hair down and brushed out, or in a simple ponytail. She doesn't typically wear makeup, since she can't do it on her own, but she'll sometimes ask Maia to help her look nice for special occasions.

Powers: Trinity can see and speak with the dead. While she can see nothing of the living, she sees the dead as if they were standing in front of her, brightly lit despite being surrounded by utter nothingness. She's also proficient in reading tarot, and can even read palms by touch.

-Personality-

Description: Trinity is a quiet and measured person. She likes to think decisions through before she makes them, and she's always careful to make sure she's not hurting others by her actions. She cares deeply about her clients, and genuinely wants to help them. Her cousin Maia is like a guiding light for her--she would do anything to make sure that the girl gets to live a full life, safe from those who came to treat her so poorly.

She actually enjoys speaking with the dead--she likes their wisdom and learning about things she'd never have a chance to experience on her own. She hopes she can help Maia learn to communicate with spirits safely so that she doesn't have to ignore her gift completely.

Habits/Hobbies: reading, listening to music, listening to podcasts

-Background-
History:
Trinity is the daughter of Aurora and Liam Bell. Her mother, Aurora, comes from a long line of Mediums. Her father came from a line of clairvoyants. Between the two of them, their daughter was born with strong psychic abilities, and a tendency to talk more to the dead than the living. She was also born with a defect in her eyes that caused her sight to gradually vanish. By the time she was eight, she was completely blind. Her parents took great care to ensure she was still well educated.

Her uncle [NAME HERE] Bell married a terrible woman, [NAME HERE]. Their daughter, Maia, and Trinity got along well right away, although they only saw each other at holidays. Trinity always loved having someone around who understood her--the children at her boarding school definitively did not.

Over the years the two of them stayed in touch, even when Trinity graduated and started working at a metaphysical shop, spending more time at work and out of her parents' house. It always made her happy to still have that connection to her cousin. As time went on, though, she started to realize that something wasn't right. It wasn't until Maia called and asked her for help that she finally understood what was going on. She immediately went and got the girl out of the house. She emptied all her bank accounts, left a cryptic voicemail for her parents, and took off with the girl.

They now live in Xander's Cross, thanks to some help from Trinity's parents. They wanted to support the girls once they understood what had happened. The Bell brothers had already been on bad terms before, and this was enough to be the final straw. When the police came to them about Maia, they managed to convince the detective that Maia had probably run away on her own, since her parents had treated her so poorly. Teachers at school agreed that her behavior had been strange, and the police soon let the case run cold.

Family/Friends:
Parents - Aurora and Liam Bell
Cousin/Roommate/Adopted Sister - Maia Bell

Neighborhood: Old Cross, in a house that formerly belonged to her mother's (deceased) grandparents. They still check in on her from time to time.

Secret:
- She technically kidnapped Maia to get her away from her parents, and if the state police were to investigate her or Maia for any reason, she'd be caught.
