General Description
Dakota Belltower is a Cadet for the Senora Desert Sheriff's Office, Badge #508.

She is also an employee at UwU Café.

Physical Description
Dakota is a 5'6" tall bundle of playful, kind chaos. She normally has an eye hidden behind locks of brown hair, and her blue eyes compliment her demeanor. She has two tattoos, one being a family tattoo she shares with her mother and her sisters in the shape of antlers on her back, and another being "Bad Luck" spelt on her left leg, with a dual meaning behind either she being bad luck for others who cross her, or just generally having bad luck in life

Personality
Kind and courteous, she attempts to make everyone she considers a friend happy, even if that means sometimes bending backwards to achieve this. She becomes very hostile if you cross her. Otherwise she is shy until she learns more about the people she's with, and opens up very quickly. Her quick wit makes her well liked, and she is fiercely loyal. She is very lawful, and tries not to break the laws while hanging out with friends, but if her friends do break the law, she will not be the one to tell the tale.

She doesn't get grossed out easily, and is also very good at hiding her emotions, even in extreme circumstances. Dakota also has a very fun, playful demeanor but is shy around people until she gets to be around them and learn how far she can be playful with them.

Current Life
Starting to settle into a new life, Dakota has quickly made new friends with the few short weeks that she has been in the city, interviewing and achieving a job at Uwu Cafe after finding out an old friend worked there, Marcus Wester. There, she has enjoyed meeting new friends, including her new bestie, Leona. But she has also has re-united with old friends, such as Michael "Sweet Cheeks" Hemsworth.

Also wanting to help give back to her community and seeing that they were hiring, she had also applied to, interviewed for, and accepted a position within the Department of Corrections.

Background
Dakota comes from a small family of five, not including her. She was a middle child, having two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger sister and brother. Her family was a happy family, with her mom being a secretary for the local hospital, and her father being a car salesmen. This was until Dakota was roughly 10 years old, where her father's gambling debts began to force them into a harder lifestyle. To help cope with the loss and the dip in the economy, Dakota's father began selling drugs at the car lot to support his family. The stress of hiding this forced him to try some of the product, and things quickly went downhill. For Dakota's 13th, birthday, her parents were fighting when she had enough and stormed into the kitchen, yelling at them. This caused her father to turn his anger towards Dakota, and shortly after a frying pan left his hand, smacking Dakota and rendering her unconscious. This made Dakota's mom mad, to which she gathered up her children and called the police on her husband. Five years later, Dakota graduated from high school, and she was recovering well after the attack. Her father had been charged with assault, drug trafficking, and neglect. He was sentenced to 40 years behind bars.

With Dakota's new found freedom and her father's actions, she vowed to protect those she loved, applying for the local Sheriffs' office and accepting a position as a new cadet. There, she climbed the ranks, eventually making Captain over the 15 deputies in 2021 before the department was dissolved and taken over by another county. Jobless, she began jumping around from part time job to part time job, taking mechanic jobs to keep her beater running, before packing up and heading to Los Santos to start something new.
