Bela Talbot is a fictional character on The CW Television Network's Supernatural, portrayed by Lauren Cohan. Appearing only in the third season of the TV series, she is depicted as a character who uses knowledge of the supernatural world differently than the series' main protagonists, Sam and Dean Winchester. She is self-centered, a thorn in the side of the main characters, and makes her living by stealing occult objects and selling them to wealthy clients. While critical reaction to the character was mixed, fans responded very negatively to the character, leading to her departure at the end of the season.
