Sara Bellum
Miss Sara Bellum is a character from the Cartoon Network animated series The Powerpuff Girls. She is the secretary of the Mayor of Townsville who performs most of the Mayor's responsibilities on his behalf, and is also a valuable ally of the Powerpuff Girls. Bellum appears as a tall voluptuous redhead woman whose face is never shown onscreen (except for a brief glimpse in one episode). The name "Sara Bellum" is a pun on cerebellum (a part of the human brain) which reflects her intelligence; for instance, she is described as "the brains behind the man" by the Mayor himself.
Tournament History[edit]
The secretary has made three appearances in Ms. /co/ tournaments except in 2019, where she wasn't even nominated. She gained a reputation as a low-seeded but dangerous opponent after she took down #8 seed Hilda in the first round of the 2020 contest. Bellum would later produce a standout performance in 2021, which included feats such as upsetting #2 seed Azula in a round 2 blowout, winning the closest match of the tournament against Alice in round 4 (by 7 votes), and taking down fellow secretary Miss Pauling to reach the semi-finals, where she lost to Betty Boop and Hilda to claim fourth place. But like many Elite 8 girls from 2021, Bellum's run was plagued by accusations of spite-votes, psyops, and false flagging, especially during her round 3 match against Peruvian opponent ENA.
Bellum's return in 2023 saw another respectable showing, where she made it to round 4 after upsetting the high seeded Shego before herself being upset by Totally Spies girl Clover, narrowly missing a repeat Elite Eight run by 10 votes.
