Halloumi Belle is the other half of the Cheese Family’s Disco Twins: a fearless, athletic dancer whose sparkling performances are matched by a spirited personality. Whether she’s flying through a triple twirl or facing down an old rival, Halloumi brings energy, confidence and a little bit of fire.
At a glance
- Pronouns: she/her

- Known for: Disco dancing, daring leaps, triple twirls, star-patterned boots and sparkling stage outfits
Appearance
Halloumi is a youthful pale-golden cheese wedge with large brown eyes and long, thick auburn hair that falls in dramatic sweeping curls.
Her signature performance outfit is a sparkling pink-to-purple sequined jumpsuit with flared legs, finished with a gold star belt buckle and cream platform boots covered with pink and purple stars.
Her style is colourful, athletic and unmistakably disco.
Personality
Halloumi is confident, spirited, playful and fiercely determined. She enjoys competition and isn’t easily intimidated, particularly when the Stilton Sisters are involved.
Her dancing has an athletic edge. At the Nationals she performs a triple twirl and launches into a high leap before landing in a split as the Disco Twins’ routine becomes faster and more daring.
She’s also warm and quick to recognise someone else’s moment. When Wensley prevents the sabotaged glitter cannon from causing a disaster during the twins’ performance, Halloumi looks down at him and affectionately calls him their “sparkle hound.”
Family and friendships
Eddie Emmental and Clarabelle Cheddar are Halloumi’s parents. Sir Blue Vein and Lady Brie are her grandparents. Mini Mozzarella and Babybel are her younger siblings.
Monterey Jack Flash is both her brother and her closest dancing partner. Together, the Disco Twins can match even the Stilton Sisters step for step.
Away from competition, Halloumi shows a more thoughtful side. When the Cheese Family begins uncovering the history behind Velvet Blue’s estrangement, she listens and asks what really happened rather than simply accepting the old rivalry.
Stories featuring Halloumi Belle
In Chutney and Champions, Halloumi and Monterey compete as the Disco Twins, facing the Stilton Sisters and their attempts at sabotage before dancing their way through the Nationals.
In The Stilton Divide, Halloumi joins the family journey to confront the history behind that rivalry and discover that the story they inherited is more complicated than anyone realised.
Fun fact
Halloumi’s star-patterned boots are almost as difficult to ignore as her dance moves.

A landscape illustration of Halloumi Belle performing in a grand ballroom. Halloumi is a youthful pale-golden wedge of cheese with small holes, large brown eyes, rosy cheeks, a broad confident smile and long, thick auburn hair sweeping backwards in large flowing curls.
She wears a sparkling pink-to-purple sequined seventies-style jumpsuit with a broad pointed collar and flared legs, a belt with a gold star buckle, sparkling wrist cuffs and cream platform boots decorated with large pink and purple stars.
Halloumi is captured in an athletic dance pose on a polished wooden floor, one arm pointing upwards and the other sweeping outwards. Behind her, an audience of cheering cheese characters fills the ballroom, framed by purple curtains, warm strings of lights and a mirror ball throwing golden light across the room.
