"I will punish the bad children, since that is my job as Pierrot."

Lenabelle Abelard is the adopted son of Jules Abelard and a deadly serial killer of the Rolled city streets by night, dubbed Lenabelle the Ripper. As a member of Père Noël, he was given the codename V. the Pierrot. She is one of Gretel's reincarnations.

Early Life
Born in the Lucifenian Republic, Lenabelle was left without parents and taken into a Rolled orphanage. When she was young, she was found and adopted by the millionaire Jules Abelard. Trained as an assassin for Père Noël, she was taught that the world was filled with mistakes and that she needed to "punish the bad children".In Rolled, she performed murders for her father nightly, one of them involving a brutal stabbing at 2 A.M. in the city streets.

Père Noël
In winter of EC 610, VII. the Magician approached Lenabelle with a gloomy demeanor and tried to convince him to escape Père Noël with her. The assassin tattled to her father, I. the Santa, and VII. the Magician disappeared the next day. Lenabelle enjoyed Jules' gratitude as he petted her head, feeling a strange familiarity from it. On another one of his jobs, Lenabelle waited for her prey in the dark alley, when he suddenly heard a gunshot and felt herself bleeding. Seeing he was shot by VIII. the Sniper, she collapsed and began to die. On her last breath, V. the Pierrot had a vision of her true mother and fathers' smiling faces and heard a menacing laugh from VII. the Magician, mocking how she should have run away with him.

Legacy
Lenabelle's carnages in the streets of Rolled earned her the moniker "Belle the Ripper" in Evillious' history, although the events after her death were blurred out. In EC 978, Galleria Marlon mentioned Lenabelle's murder to Ve and queried its connection to Elluki Clockworker and Gumillio. A film concerning the incident would be created by Ve over a decade later and subsequently reviewed by the Master of the Court. While organizing the "court cases", Gammona Octo noted that Lenabelle seemed to maintain the memories of her past lives and was different compared to when she was with Hänsel all the time. The Gardener also found her death a result of misfortune, crediting it to bad luck.

Personality and Traits
Lenabelle is a loyal but twisted individual, manipulated by her father. She was brainwashed by Jules, taught with the express intent of being a tool for murder. Through her indoctrination, she came to believe that the world was filled with "mistakes" and that it was her duty as V. the Pierrot to rectify them, specifically by killing them. As a result, she guiltlessly murdered "bad children" during the night, bloodily killing them with no remorse.

She held a steadfast loyalty to her foster father, fulfilling her missions to satisfy him and refusing to betray him when VII. the Magician asked her to escape with him. As a reincarnation of Gretel, her loyalty is due to her resemblance to Hänsel's mother, Metam Salmhofer.

Skills and Abilities
Trained by her father, Lenabelle was a skilled and deadly assassin, taught to murder individuals at a young age and able to succeed without being discovered and captured by Lucifenia's authorities.

Character Connections

 * I. the Santa: Lenabelle's adoptive father. Lenabelle was fanatically loyal to I. the Santa and followed his every order, as well as brooking no threat to him from outside sources such as VII. the Magician. She took joy in his small shows of affection, like patting her on the head for a job well done, and found his appearance comforting as well as reminiscent of someone.


 * VII. the Magician: A fellow member of Père Noël. Lenabelle found him to be gentle although ominous in appearance, but after he asked her to leave Père Noël she saw him only as a threat to "Mr. Santa". When he stands over her as she's dying, she is shocked by his presence and perceives his as laughing wickedly at her death.


 * VIII. the Sniper: A fellow member of Père Noël. Lenabelle did not suspect that VIII. the Sniper was also working for VII. the Magician, and so did not expect it when he shot him.


 * Gretel: Lenabelle's first incarnation. Lenabelle gets her loyalty to her father from Gretel's mother's relationship with Metam Salmhofer; she sees in I. the Santa remnants of Metam, and so wishes to please him. According to Gammona, she maintains the memories from Hansel's Purple Dream.


 * Arte: One of Lemy's previous incarnations. Lenabelle's appearance and soul are the same as Arte's, and with it she passed on her loyalty to anyone resembling Metam, such as Conchita.


 * Female Servant: Lenabelle's later incarnation. Lenabelle and the female Servant shared the same soul; as with previous incarnations, Lenabelle passed her fanatic loyalty on to her as she served the Master of the Graveyard in Evil's Theater.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Lenabelle's name is a curroption of her Vocaloid derivative Lenka and the French name, Annabelle. Which in turn is derived from the Latin name Anna meaning favor or grace.
 * Her surname, Abelard, is derived from German meaning "resolute" or "steadfast".
 * Lenabelle has a strong link to French culture: her codename V. the Pierrot derives from the stock character used in French pantomime, "Abelard" is the surname of a French philosopher, and her debut song takes place in the French-inspired Lucifenian Republic.


 * The Pierrot is usually described as a naive or foolish character that becomes a victim of the other people's pranks, reflecting how he was manipulated by Julia to be her personal tool; the Pierrot is also often portrayed as a clown or jester, matching Lemy's attire.


 * Her title as "Belle the Ripper" is based off the infamous 1800's serial killer Jack the Ripper who murdered his victims at night and is often depicted with a knife.

Curiosities

 * Lenabelle's role in the organization follows the twisted "Christmas" theme that surrounds Père Noël, being in charge of punishing the "bad" children stated by I. the Santa.
 * Her murders taking place in Rolled likely references the road-roller, a vehicle often associated with the Kagamine twins, one of which is her representative Fanloid's voice source.
 * It's unknown if Lenabelle saw her own parents or those of her previous incarnation, Gretel.
