Personality
Bellemere is a very hurt and wounded woman born of an abusive background. Her cynical nature was born as a result, making her extremely blunt and confrontational with others and finding it difficult to fit in with normal society or to trust people. Bellemere is very adept at reading people and constantly distances herself from others by speaking her observations and thoughts candidly and bluntly. She's headstrong, obnoxious, and unafraid to take charge, doing whatever she feels is right or whatever she wants to do.
Although Bellemere doesn't have many friends, the friends she does make she keeps for life. Her strong, bold personality enables her to protect and stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves, not being afraid of the consequences. Bellemere hates injustice and is very vengeful, her explosive temper being one of the main things she'll use to get back at people who wrong her or her loved ones.
Bellemere's guarded, distant, and sometimes rude behavior stems from how angry and wounded she is which she also hides by being fiery and bittersweet. Despite wanting the best in life and having a very hard work ethic, Bellemere feels undeserving and suffers from low-self esteem. She often feels miserable and when it comes to relationships, she calls herself a "fatal attractor" or "unboyfriendable" due to her tendency to fall for people who are unattainable or have their own issues as well as pushing them away when things get too close for comfort. Bellemere is perfectly aware of how fucked-up she is and has moments where she becomes depressed, lash out, or completely indulge herself in hedonistic behaviors.

Stepmother: Rosa Briggs (nee Saab) | FBI Agent | Alive
Twin Brother: Benjamin Cartier | Mechanic | Alive

Love Interest: Lee Chen
Past: Born in Paris, France, Bellemere and her twin brother Benjamin were born as the result of a brief affair between a hairdresser and a Marine. Jeanne and Rodin's relationship was on and off due to the former's erratic and dangerous behavior alongside alcoholism and drug use. She was often abusive towards Rodin and their children both physically and mentally. The final straw came for Rodin when Jeanne allowed her drug dealer to rape Bellemere and Benjamin who were 13 at the time in exchange for drugs and money. Rodin beat the man to death in a fit of rage and left Jeanne for good, taking the twins with him.
The trio moved to Rodin's hometown of Los Angeles where it was revealed that he was secretly in a relationship with his long-time friend Rosa and had two children with her named Jacqueline and Saero. Rosa quickly accepted Bellemere and Benjamin as her own although it took a while for the feeling to be reciprocated due to the abuse they suffered at the hands of Jeanne and Bellemere's suicide attempt that followed shortly thereafter. Rodin and Rosa finally decided to marry six months later and for the first time, the twins began to experience the true love and comfort of a family.
Unlike her twin brother, Bellemere had a difficult time fitting into her new life when it came to her peers. After transferring to a new junior high school, she became an outcast and rebel due to her sharp tongue and cold, brutal demeanor. Her fashion sense didn't help much either since she began dressing in the gothic and emo fashions. She later found refuge and belonging with the respective crowds, becoming a bit more sociable and making a few friends in the process.
When Bellemere started high school, she began to date one of her close friends named Jessie Belrose and came out as bisexual. Their relationship blossomed for a year and a half until Jessie went missing and was later found dead, her body dumped in a river. Bellemere was devastated and attempted suicide for the second time, leading to her father taking her to therapy where she was diagnosed with clinical depression and PTSD.
She continued to attend therapy until she graduated from high school, wanting to deal with her issues on her own from that point on. Deciding to go to college, Bellemere decided to work at a local restaurant and club to put herself through school where she recognized her affinity for dancing, leading for her to become a stripper there on top of being a bartender and waitress. She also became a biker and joined a motorcycle gang called the Black Knights. One night after work, she was ambushed by a group of bikers from a rival gang and was saved by a man named Lee Chen who eventually invited her to become a student at his dojo so she could learn how to defend herself.
At first, Bellemere rejected his offer out of stubbornness but Lee was persistent and began to frequently visit her workplace as well as being one of her professors at school. She's currently studying wushu at his dojo and is now a blue belt as a result of Lee's training and is taking one of his courses at school.

Family, Friends, and Foes
Mother: Jean Chen (nee Chang) | U.S. Marine | Alive
Father: Gus Chen | Dojo Owner | Alive
Love Interest: Bellemere Cartier
Past: Lee's childhood was mostly filled with loneliness due to his military mother usually being overseas and away from home. His father ran a very popular dojo so Lee kept himself busy by learning wushu despite his fragile health. He made many friends thanks to his father having lots of students and while he still felt lonely because of his mother's frequent absences, being around lots of people helped him cope with it.
When Lee was 14, he began to suffer sexual abuse at the hands of a babysitter named Carmelita Blade. The horror continued for six months before his mother walked in on them and angrily beat Carmelita to death. The experience made Lee begin to act out, withdrawing himself from others and getting into fights frequently. Concerned about their son's dangerous behavior, Gus and Jean took Lee to see a therapist. After being diagnosed with anxiety and depression, he confronted his issues and graduated from high school at the age of 17.
He decided to go to college right away and decided to become a college professor, discovering a hidden passion for teaching. He got his Masters by the time he was 25 and quickly became a respected professor in his own right. During this time, Lee decided to become an instructor at his father's dojo and decided to stay there after graduating, now having two jobs at once.
One night, he saved a woman named Bellemere Cartier from getting jumped by a biker gang. Instantly attracted to her, he offered to teach her wushu and was rejected. Not one to give up easily, Lee continued to pursue Bellemere and visited the restaurant and club where she worked at until she finally relented. She's now a blue belt as a result of his training and he also teaches her at school since she's in one of his classes.
