Of course, Bela was only about 12 when she sold her soul - perhaps if she'd been, say, 27-30 she wouldn't have made that choice.

Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

...Yet more proof that Hell doesn't have a law school! I'm pretty sure that in Britain, somebody that young would not be allowed to sign a legal contract. I don't know the British equivalent of Dan'l Webster, but somebody needs someone with a firm grasp of the legal niceties in her corner.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I think she was supposed to be 14 in those flashbacks.

Per folks at the TwoP forum, I just ran Bela through the "all characters" segment of the Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test in light of the most recent revelations about her and got a score of 58.

Art Crawl!!!
What does that score mean?
She's less Mary Sue than you'd expect?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Maybe next season we'll get the "Adventures of Dean and Bela! In HELL!"
I will admit to having had this thought.
I have 2 questions:
1) Red eyes? wtf with red eyes?
2) Why, if Lilith wants Sam dead, would she make a deal to resurrect him?

Well, the test designer set 50+ as the cut-off point for "Kill it now." Meaning such a painfully obvious Mary Sue that no respectable author should have combined so many tropes of extra-specialness.

Me third. I was thinking, "Aww, well at least Dean will know someone when he gets there."

Not a Bela fan, but this kinda made sense to me. Lord save us from teenagers anywhere in that 12-18 range. LIFE or DEATH. They'd sell their soul for a better car, let alone a more substantial reason such as abuse.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
This, I fear, is the ultimate flaw in the Supernatural universe as constructed. If demons have the ability to make a deal with anybody, with no reasonableness limitations, how is it that a thirteen year old boy from Hoboken is not currently Emperor of the Universe, ritually beheading his sadistic gym teacher daily, and the polygynous husband of ten different Hollywood starlets?
