Belle is the main antagonist of [[Hypnosis Doesn't Work Like That!]].

She is a popular girl at [[/Leonard Juiban High School]], and the little sister of [[//Dean Carter/]].

She is initially presented as a mean-spirited bully from [[//Adi/]]'s perspective, but will be shown to have more depth later. She is on the school volleyball team, was a former cheerleader, and has a lot of fans but few real friends. She isn't in Adi's Literature class at the start of the story; we don't know which subjects she's doing extra classes for.

==History==
Before starting at high school, she was kind of overshadowed by her awesome big brother. She adored him, maybe in a kind of inappropriate way. She decided to become a cheerleader because they were the only girls he seemed to be interested in; and because he was already in the high school basketball team, she knew that most of the parties he went to would be players and cheerleaders.

This position meant that she easily became popular in school, and she was kind of lucky. She was cool enough that everybody wanted to be seen with her, so people did things for her and looked up to her, even though she never really shared anything or opened up to her friends. She's quite lonely, but doesn't understand why because she has so many 'friends'. She's ended up playing popularity like a game, always trying to have more devoted followers, in some kind of unacknowledged hope that this will make her feel less empty.

Somewhere along the way, she realised that the basketball team were all jerks, including Dean. Because he didn't give her the affection she craved, her infatuation with her big brother slowly soured and turned into jealousy. She wanted to be popular in the way he was, with a small cadre of friends who shared all their secrets and would do anything to help each other, but she couldn't see a way to get there other than becoming more cool, more successful, and treating everyone else like her minions. So she's kind of unhappy, but will never acknowledge it.

In her own mind, her bullying of [[//Adi/]] is for the girl's own good - she believes that if the unpopular kids stop being weird, they'll be able to take a proper place in the social hierarchy somewhere below her, and they'll have a place to fit into. She really doesn't understand that not everyone needs public status to validate themselves.

 Belle has listened to the same file as Adi. She picked the baby name Lillibel, reasoning that it's best to have something that sounds like a childish name, but that isn't anyone's actual name, so there's no chance of her overhearing it.
-In her baby state she still thinks mostly like an adult, and has commented that she doesn't think it's working.. But she gets more giggly and less judgemental, and is able to get carried away and act without thinking once one of the triggers makes her do something that convinces her she's a baby.

 She can give herself new baby behaviours by repeating "If I were a baby, I would _____". However, she thinks that overusing this would be too risky. Instead, she gets a free-standing whiteboard (later personalised with the name Lillibel on it). After listening to the file each weekend, she repeats "If I were a baby, I'd follow whatever baby behaviours are written on my special whiteboard."
 The trigger has already been used to make her wet and mess her diapers, but that was while she was playing with Adi. It's possible it would be less effective if she wasn't reassured by the presence of another adult baby and supportive caregivers.

+In chapter 412-413 she tells Reg and Vicky Bracewell about the whiteboard, and it is described in more detail.

 In chapter 99 she has recently broken up with boyfriend Todd Loxley, who cheated on her very publically with her "close friend" and clique general Robyn Hunter. Todd was like her brother in a lot of ways, a sports star, and to Belle it feels like he's rejecting her all over again. She was distraught, and terrified of all her friends finding out that she's not coping, because she knows how easily a cult of celebrity can turn on someone they supposedly care about.
-When hearing about Adi's file, she considers trying it out herself. She knows that Dean stopped paying her so much attention when she was no longer a little kid in need of constant support, and in a way she wonders if he might come back to being a part of her life if she can show that she needs him again. She probably won't go through with it.

It initially looked like she wouldn't go through with it; she was just curious. She'd seen how it brought Adi and her friends closer together, and she knew that Dean paid her more attention before she could look after herself, but she wouldn't jump to trying something so extreme just from a few little things like that.
