BIO: Born to Abigail & Eugene Holmesington on
Belladonna loved her youngest brother Basil (if not as much as Elizabella), & she, too, doted on him constantly. She even convinced him to play the violin for the first time! Having graduating from what was formerly known as Mouse London Arts Academy, Belladonna now lives with her siblings at Holmesington Manor in the countryside of England, also taking the time to work in her art studio in the west wing of the house.
As the oldest of the Holmesington kids, Belladonna is the next-to-smartest (can’t forget Basil, folks...) & the most creative, claiming that “art is what she lives & breathes”. Constantly whipping up a new painting or a novel (sometimes just to keep herself occupied), this gifted young artist puts the utmost effort into her works & treats her creations like living children; the most amazing innovations are flowing from Belladonna’s fingertips all around the clock, as she never stops working & is determined to show the world her many skills. As you wouldn’t expect, though, Belladonna maintains the modesty of a simple farmer, usually declining awards she has been offered. As she often says, “I don’t create things for profit; I do what I do because that’s what God had in store for me.”
Though she bears the name of a toxic flower, Belladonna is anything but poisonous; this warm-hearted artisan maintains the manners of a well-bred princess, the sweet nature of a child, & the kindness of a nun. Constantly using her talents to cheer people up when they’re feeling down, Belladonna is a sunny optimist & faces challenges with a broad smile; she watches the world with rose-tinted glasses & a pleasant grin.
Belladonna Holmesington is a decent mouse, & may be approached without caution.
You’re probably wondering why I, The Mouse Avenger (pictured above) am a model for Basil’s oldest sister. Well, it’s very elementary, really: I gave Belladonna her creative personality, her many talents, her optimism, & her kind, modest nature.
