Isabella

*"Bella works as a librarian at B&R. Her best friend is Jill. She's tough and seems mean, but I've seen nicer sides to her.*

**Isabella "Bella"** **Roberts** is a librarian and teacher of College Research Skills at Burgmeister & Royce, she is also the best friend of Jill.

Isabella is one of the Main Love Interests in Being A DIK.

## Physical Appearance

Isabella is a tall, beautiful woman in her mid-thirties. She has shoulder-length, dark brown hair and an olive complexion contrasted by icy blue eyes. Dedicated to fitness, she is in excellent physical condition and possesses an hourglass figure with large breasts, wide hips and a large rear. When lending clothes to Jill during yoga, she remarks that she's outgrown them due to her breasts having grown larger.

## Personality and Traits

Isabella is not considered to be "approachable", she's known amongst students for a piercing glare and relying on few words when interacting with anyone she is not fond of. She has no issues turning a situation uncomfortable with silence.

If a person manages to get on her good side, she eventually begins to open up more, allowing them to refer to her as "Bella". Naturally introverted, her favorite hobbies include reading, wine and practicing yoga. She also possesses a dry sense of humor, oftentimes with others not realizing that she's making a joke.

After the mysterious separation from her husband James three years ago, she had essentially lost all sexual interest. It was only when kissing the Main Character after a botched date that she begins to feel sexual desire again. As they explore a possible relationship, she gradually becomes more comfortable and sexually adventurous with him.

Her best friend is Jill, oftentimes acting as an older-sister to her. When the MC first begins to show interest in Jill, Bella takes the opportunity to evaluate him and determine if he could be a suitable boyfriend for her. In contrast, she despises Tybalt and, knowing that Jill has no romantic interest in him, actively does her best to ruin any opportunity he has to interact with Jill.

## History

### Prior to Being a DIK

18 years prior to Being a DIK, Isabella was a freshman at Smith & Reading. At college, Isabella pledges to Omega Mu Gamma. She goes on to major in English.

Eventually, she marries James Roberts.

### Episode 1

When MC first spots Isabella while talking to Magnar, he remarks that MC has spotted the "Ice Queen." He describes her as having no tolerance for shenanigans and warns that if someone is not quiet enough in the library, she will scold them. Magnar tricks MC into talking with Bella by confirming that he should ask her to apply for a library card. She informs him that he will only need his student ID card to check out library books.

After his panty raid, MC calls out to Bella from behind some bushes. Despite being advised not to approach, Bella finds MC naked in his hiding place. She twists his ear but ultimately hears him out. She gives MC a towel to cover himself and brings him into the library so they can go through the lost and found for any clothes that might fit him. As MC is taking the clothes from Bella, the towel slips and she turns away clearly embarrassed. After he is dressed, Bella insists on interrogating MC further and tries to shame him for not having been taught better by his mother. MC reveals that his mother died and he was raised solely by his father. Bella feels guilty about touching on a sensitive topic, so she allows MC to leave now that she has heard the story. As he is leaving, Bella tells him that the shirt she gave him is too short.

MC returns the next day to update Bella and thank her and apologize for how he behaved, but her cold demeanor leads MC to believe that she did not accept his apology.

MC spends some time restocking library shelves when he sees Jill and goes to sit with her. He tries to convince her that Bella would be okay with them talking in the library, however, Jill knows Bella too well and quickly points out that MC is obviously lying. When Bella sees the two of them together, she approaches the pair and chastises MC, saying that the library is "for reading and studying, not for hitting on girls." MC leaves, and Bella tries to tell Jill to stay away from him. Jill defends MC by telling Bella of the bullying against him that she has witnessed, how he has been nothing but nice to her, and points out that he was helping Bella by clearing her library carts when Jill began studying.

### Episode 2

MC sees Bella doing yoga with Jill in the quad. Once Bella points out to Jill that they have a spectator, he is drawn into a conversation with them. Bella is put off if MC calls her "Bella" at this early stage in their relationship. The three of them practice yoga for a few poses when Bella leaves to fill up her water bottle. MC admits to Jill that Bella scares him and compares her to a cheetah. Jill insists that Bella is nice and gives MC advice on improving their relationship. Tybalt sees Jill talking to MC and rushes over to take her away. Seeing them walk away together, Bella admits to MC that she doesn't like Tybalt very much. She accuses MC of liking Jill and tries to steer him away from her. MC accuses Bella of being overprotective and of making assumptions about him. Bella decides to give MC a chance and sets up a dinner for them that evening to get to know each other.

MC is going through a DIKs' Hell Week party when he realizes he is late for his dinner with Bella. Bella is angry that MC shows up late to their appointment and is furious that he is falling-over drunk. Bella tries to take him to his home, but MC lets her know that he is not allowed to sleep at the DIKs house yet and cannot reveal that he is staying with Maya so she takes him to her home. On the drive, MCs drunken honesty disarms Bella a little and upon arriving at her home she feeds him pasta. After eating, MC is able to explore Bella's house (which is already in a state of dishevelment because of his drunk antics) and lose more of Bella's respect by peeping on her while she gets changed.

At some point during the night, Bella will find a slightly more sober MC asleep on the couch in her house and they have a discussion. MC tries to make excuses and apologize for ruining their date but Bella corrects him at every topic. MC moves in for a kiss and Bella seems to want to fight him off but finds making out with him calming. When MC starts to feel her up, she stops him and tells him that she's married. Bella returns to her room and considers things. She thinks about how she hasn't been touched by a man in around 3 years and is annoyed at her state of arousal and indirectly MC/herself.

If MC tried to clean up Bella's house, he learns most of the things that he actually messed up the next morning. Bella probes as to what MC remembers about the previous night and drives MC back to campus. On the drive in, MC discusses his classes with Bella and she is surprised that he is taking Gender Studies. Upon arriving to the campus, MC can either try (but be stopped by her) to kiss Bella or simply thank her for the ride.

### Episode 3

MC runs into Bella in the cafeteria. He can offer to pay for her meal which either improves or damages her opinion on him based on his previous actions. MC tries to apologize for ruining their date, but Bella insists that it was not a date and tries to stress that they should have a more professional relationship. Bella and MC have lunch together and she makes several dry/anti-humor jokes. MC and Bella continue to miss the mark with their differing communication styles. Ultimately the conversation leads to MC talking about his personal and dating history. After MC's story is finished, Jade and Cathy join them for lunch and discuss MC and Derek. Cathy and Jade recognize the dildo helmet from the gay guard catcher task and note they should question Derek to find out who the other streaker was. This makes Bella uncomfortable and she leaves.

Jill goes to Bella to confide in her about breaking MC's trust for turning in his attacker citing that this may paint a target on his back. Jill asks how she can fix their relationship but Bella advises her to give MC a little space and assures Jill that she did the right thing. Bella notes that MC has either been very unlucky or chosen his friends poorly. Her tone makes Jill realize that Bella has changed her opinion on MC somewhat, and when called out, Bella gives her blessing for Jill to befriend or even date MC since he is "not all bad." Jill jokes that is the nicest thing Bella has said about a man. Jill is usure given that she can sense how Tybalt is pursuing her. Bella assures Jill that MC is better than Tybalt to which Jill jokes that MC must have really impressed her and Jill replies that is just how much she hates Tybalt.

When MC finds himself at the library, Bella texts Jill that she can find him there. Jill shows up and plays Dungeons & Gremlins with MC and the Nerds. Bella makes an appearance (in game) and demands silence from the group.

Jill lets slip to MC that she had a conversation with Bella about MC in which she has "come around" on the subject of MC. MC finds himself thinking about Bella after that and the story cuts to a scene with the Nerds in the library. Bella is thinking about MC and is rather rude towards a student asking about a reference book. She think about an intimate relationship with a friend and prays internally for forgiveness from her husband, James. Bella sees the Nerds talking and when she approaches them, she finds them discussing her reputation as the "Ice Queen." Magnar describes her as having "a heart made of ice, completely devoid of love, and doesn't show any sympathy to intruders," not realizing that Bella is standing right behind him. She kicks the Nerds out of the library citing that it is closing time.

When MC enters the library after they leave and he announces himself, she snaps at him and demands that he leave without looking to see who it is. She is surprised that it is actually MC who insists on helping her clean up so he can talk with her. He lets Bella know that thanks to her, he asked out Jill and inquires as to when she came around to liking him. Bella insists that she merely tolerates him. She finally relents and tells MC that he can call her Bella and MC finds himself leaning in for a kiss. Bella demands that MC stop and tries to admonish him, but MC points out that Bella is actually pulling his face to hers.

If MC has a close enough relationship with Bella, he can choose to stay with her at the end of Episode 3 after he is kicked out of Maya's dorm.

### Episode 4

MC arrives at Bella's home in the middle of the night and she makes him a hot beverage because he seems upset. When asked to articulate why he chose to go to her, MC tells her that she has already helped him a lot and is "harsh but genuine" and he thinks that is what he needs at the moment. They talk about MC's situation with Josy and Maya while MC lays on Bella's lap and she strokes his hair.

In the morning, they wake up and Bella lounges by the pool while reading the newspaper. MC and her have a conversation about the hazing and Bella teases him.

Bella has lunch with Josy and Jill.

If MC is staying with Bella, after classes they go swimming and Bella help him drink some beers. MC and Bella spend time together talking, rubbing lotion on each other, and swimming. If MC is pursuing a relationship with her, he can take things further and get a hand job and feel up Bella. If MC and Bella have a good relationship, he can ask about his reputation among the faculty and Bella tells him that Derek is considered something of a genius. Bella will shut down any talk about Jade if MC asks about her thoughts on her. If they fooled around, Bella convinces MC that he should still go on his date with Jill and not to tell her about what happened between the two of them. After studying, Bella and MC discuss reading and music.

### Episode 5

After rescuing the HOTs from the Preps, MC heads to Bella's house. If he is staying with her, she will ask if he lost his key, but he will just say that he wanted to talk to her before talking with Cathy. Isabella is supportive of Cathy and mostly lets MC say his piece without interrupting. If he offers, Bella lets MC borrow her car to drive Cathy home. If MC has pursued Cathy and they get physical in Bella's car, in a later episode, she finds Cathy's underwear in her car and steps back from their relationship. Upon returning, MC drinks wine with Jill and Bella and discuss the break in at the DIKs house. Bella reveals that Jill is a Royce. If MC is staying with Bella, Jill will claim that Bella has kept the secret of MC staying at her house a secret, but MC convinces them not to 'argue' about it. Bella ends up telling MC and Jill about her hazing when she joined Omega Mu Gamma at her university. If he's staying with Bella, Jill convinces MC to play a song on his guitar and he plays Bella's favorite song.

Initially, Jill goes to sleep in Bella's room with her, but they have a fight and Jill leaves to sleep on the couch next to MC. Upset at the conversation, Bella throws her wedding picture off her nightstand. In the morning, when he wakes up, MC finds Bella's room empty and picks up the picture and puts it back, commenting on how different and happy she looks in the photo.

If MC peeks under the locked door in Bella's house and picked up the picture, he can ask Jill about those things by the pool and Jill will get defensive and tell him to give Bella some space and some privacy. Once Bella arrives, they discuss plans for the day and MC is invited to do yoga with Jill and Bella. If MC is staying with Bella, he asks if she's seen his gym clothes and she tells him that they're in the laundry and borrows some of James's clothes to do yoga in. They do exercises together. If MC focuses too much on Bella, Jill will comment on it. If he focuses too much on Jill, Bella slaps the back of his head. Bella asks Jill how her date went with MC and blames the fight the previous night as to the reason that she was unable to ask before. If MC does the pair poses with Bella and they are on a romantic trajectory, she gets distracted while giving him instructions and MC has to keep bringing her back to attention. MC can join Bella in the sauna after yoga. They discuss what it was like to live with their parents, and MC learns that Bella inherited her home from her parents 10 years ago. If MC has romanced Bell enough, he can make a move on her in the sauna.

After cleaning up, Bella offers to drive Jill and MC to campus after lunch. She teaches MC how to make pancakes. During lunch, Bella learns that MC may be taking her class in the spring semester and offers to drop the class if there is romance between them. Bella is unwilling to hear him out and insists that he stops talking.

### Episode 6

After the DIKs start their renovation of the mansion, Bella calls MC after getting his number from Jill. He confirms that he will be able to move into the library at the DIKs' house. Tybalt runs into Bella at the gym, and not realizing that she is on the phone, he begins to talk to her while she talks to MC. She agrees to help him clean up the library the next day and leaves the gym.

Bella arrives at the mansion and Leon lets her in, although she apparently does not know him. She checks MC's face to see if his bruises are healing. Together they clean the debris from MC's room. If there is enough trust between MC and Bella, they take off their shirts after a while. MC will offer Bella any books she wants for her library. If MC is romancing Bella, eventually they kiss and Bella admits to feeling ashamed of how she is feeling towards MC and tell him that he makes her aroused. Bella gives MC a boob/blowjob then take a shower and go to bed. MC thinks about how difficult it is to read Bella, while she thinks of how guilty and ashamed she feels but starts to question that when MC rolls over to spoon her.

If Bella stayed over, the DIKs gather to do the traditional walk of shame song in the morning, but Bella shuts them up with a glare. After MC arrives at the library later in the morning, he makes Bella uncomfortable by talking about their relationship in public and teases her.

MC asks about working in the library. If he has a good relationship with Bella, she will tell him about how annoying the Tri-Betas are. She ultimately decides to allow MC to help out in the library for some extra cash.

### Episode 7

If MC and Bella are together, MC drops by the library to see Bella can use an extra hand. She has scheduled time to help Sage with her dissertation, so she tells MC that he can inventory the back section. Bella was disappointed with Sage being late, but she was very happy with Sage's after-hours progress. Bella overhears MC chastising Brian about placing a book in the wrong place and is happy with his dedication and jokes with Brian when he complains about how 'weird' MC is. Bella claims that she isn't enjoying MC working at the library, but he's not so sure.

After work, Bella shows up to sabotage Jill's date with Tybalt. The girls gossip about Sage and how she is not what Bella expected. As they try on outfits, Jill teases Bella for her laconic personality.

In an attempt to ruin Tybalt's second date with Jill, Bella invites MC to play doubles tennis out of the blue. If MC has not gotten close to Jill, Bella will reveal Tybalt's demands at this point. If MC plays without hitting Tybalt, Bella hits him with a smash for checking out Jill after the match. If MC was the one to hit Tybalt then Bella chastises him, but if Bella hit Tybalt, MC gives her a hard time. If MC hooked up with Cathy in Bella's car, she has him take her panties from the glove box and tells him that she needs some time away from him. If MC is involved with Bella, he is able to invite himself to her house for a hangout.

If MC is romantically involved with Bella, they play strip go fish, which Bella cheats to win. She makes it up to MC by getting naked, but when they start to get intimate, she stops things for a practical discussion. Bella agrees that they can only go all the way if they go on a proper date. After their conversation, Bella takes MC upstairs for mutual masturbation and MC eats her out. They continue with some outercourse.

### Episode 8

In a flashback, Bella's husband, James, visits her at work. Bella tries to be serious and professional but James is flirty and unrelenting. Bella has anxiety about her job security as her supervisors seem to have a long memory for past mistakes. She cites how they still give her a hard time about using the copier to print wedding invitations. One of the supervisors, Hilda, catches James and Bella in the stacks and sends Bella home early. Bella is upset about it thinking that it will lead to her termination, but James is blasé as they walk home.

If they are romantic with one another, MC has set up a date for himself and Bella the next night. MC is nervous so he doesn't speak as much as he normally does which makes Bella anxious. The waiter mistakes Bella for MC's mother which leads to more awkwardness. After dinner, MC and Bella take a short walk by a river. It is still awkward as MC is having trouble providing his usual conversational commentary (and a drunk throws up in the river next to them). Finally, he reveals that they are going to the nearby library and Bella panics and runs away.

MC is surprised to find that Bella is his new English teacher. If MC and Bella are dating, she avoids him, only coming to him and Derek at the end of class to pull the pencils out of Derek's nose.

After the Dorm Party, MC goes to Bella to get the gum out of his hair. If MC and Bella are involved romantically, he will ask about what he did wrong on the date and express that he hopes that their relationship isn't over. Bella assures him that it is not. She lets MC know that she won't give him special treatment during her class in spite of their relationship and if he respects her, he will treat her like any other teacher.

Bella attends Jill's recital along with Derek, Josy, Maya, MC, and some of the DIKs. When Jill sees the audience, she panics and texts Bella. Bella does her best to console Jill back stage, but tells her that it's her decision on whether or not she goes on stage, so Jill tells Phillip that she can't go on. If MC has been practicing Jill's song on his guitar, he can go back and talk with her. He goes out on stage and plays guitar while Bella encourages Jill via text message from the audience. After playing on stage, Bella will hug MC and tells him that she can't tell MC how much what he just did meant to her.

If MC is romantically involved with Bella, she sets up a second date for her and MC by her pool. Bella and MC discuss the challenges with them dating. Bella tells MC she needs to look up in the B&R Handbook to see what it says about teachers/students dating. The questionable ethics of it gives her pause. She also explains why she left in such a hurry on their first date. Finally she asks about how MC feels about Jill since there's potentially a romantic history there. After clearing the table, MC joins Bella in her bedroom for sex. If MC is just friends with Bella, she will text him that Jill is on her third date giving him the opportunity to stop the date.

If MC and Bella got together the night before, they have breakfast together and he finally asks her about her wedding ring. After breakfast, they have sex on the table, and Jill sees them through the window and leaves somewhat upset. Bella texts MC the next day asking if he's heard from Jill because she isn't returning calls or texts to her.

### Episode 9

If MC is dating Bella, she calls him early in the night to let him know she is about to leave work and asks him to meet her at his window so she can sneak into the DIK house. As he waits for Bella by his window, MC reminisces on the conversation between himself and Bella where he convinces her to attend the Halloween Party. Bella reveals to MC that Jill caught them having sex on the dining room table the morning after their first date. Jill and Bella have a big fight where Bella offers to break things off with MC if it preserves her relationship with Jill but Jill feels that the lack of transparency and perceived hypocrisy from Bella is something that she needs time away from. Upon arriving at MC's room, he gives her the costume that he purchased for Bella and she dresses up as a mummy. If MC has planned the body shots competition, he is forced to participate (Bella tells him he still has free will) and tells MC that she lost interest in participating in things like that 10 years ago and it served as a reminder of how out of place she felt. MC and Bella then go to the Moose Lounge where Derek makes them drinks and starts to tell her all of the ways that he goofs off in class since he doesn't recognize Bella in her costume.

If MC and Bella are dating, early on during the party she can be found off the upper main area in a chair by herself. MC can invite her to take a picture with him from there. Taking the picture with Bella will trigger her talk with Jill. Jill admits that her biggest problem was the lack of honesty, and Bella is able to explain to her that she felt like her relationship with MC was cheating so she was ashamed and didn't want to come to terms with her feelings so she kept them secret. Jill asks for more time to process and come to terms with MC dating Bella.

If MC and Bella are dating, she will teach MC how to dance on the dance floor. Bella will have a flash where she sees James instead of MC on the dance floor. At the end of the scene, they kiss and Jill witnesses it and seems perturbed by it.

If they're dating, MC and Bella do the haunted mansion together. She is happy to "stick to narrating the experience and letting you do the dirty work." She typically sees the solution long before MC but still lets him solve the issues himself. Upon exiting the haunted mansion, Bella is most concerned with the fact that someone was in the room with them the entire time and she may have given away her identity.

If MC and Bella are not dating, she arrives after the haunted mansion. Jill takes the devil mask from the wall in the DIK house and gives it to her so she won't be recognized. If MC and Bella are dating, Sage accuses the mummy of eves dropping and recognizes Bella's voice, in particular Bella's 'catchphrase' "no." When MC talks to Sage, they (Sage, Bella, Maya, and Josy) are playing truth or drink. Bella is according to the girls doing more drinking than truth-telling. The girls assume that Jill invited Bella to the Halloween Party, and Bella does not correct them. Under any condition, MC can ask Bella who the top 3 students are in the freshman class are and she will answer Ashley, Lily, and Derek.

If MC and Bella are dating, after the blackout, she can be found talking to Maya and Josy in the Main Party Room. Talking to her (Josy) will trigger the Pink Rose girls to show up. She tells Josy that jealousy is unbecoming attributing the attention that the strippers are getting to hormones. She will also be in the Right Hallway downstairs the first time MC enters it. Derek will be telling her more ways he goofs off in class. Talking to the ghost will trigger a scene where MC pulls her under the costume with him and they make out. Returning to the main room after this will trigger MC and Bella trying to find some privacy. There is a long line for photos in MC's bedroom, so they go for a walk and end up in the library and after MC teases Bella a little, they make out all over the place.

If Bella and MC are dating, Quinn will put her in the costume contest, and she will win. Sage will make sure not to reveal her identity.

If Bella and MC are dating, they will end the night together. They dance in MC's room, talk about their relationship/future, and end the night by having sex. In the morning, Bella tries to sneak out MC's sliding door, but they are spotted during their goodbye kiss by Nick who is peeing on a tree in the back yard.

### Episode 10

MC talks to Nick about what he just witnessed then reports to Bella about their talk.

After grading her midterms, Bella approaches Philip about suspicions that some of the students may have cheated on their midterm exams. She provides Philip with the student ID number of the student that she believes has cheated.

If Bella and MC are going out, she doesn't let Derek get away with goofing off in class any more. According to Derek, she's onto him and asks MC if he told her about him to which MC tells him that she must have ESP. Maya and Josy will tell Bella how much they enjoyed partying with her and suggest they do it again, but Bella shuts them down. After class, he describes Bella's teaching style as "like she cares about her students learning. That's the worst kind of teacher there is!"

Later on, Philip finds Bella in the library to discuss the question of cheating. If MC flushed the papers during episode 8, he reports that he hasn't found anything overly suspicious. If MC left the papers in the restroom, he confirms Bella's suspicions and Bella uses her access to the library's systems to match the student's ID number to the name 'Anderson.' Philip will tell Bella that they must keep a more watchful eye on the student and will work to find damning evidence on them. If MC used the papers to cheat himself, Philip also provides Bella with his student ID.

Jill enlists Bella's help in aiding with Maya's financial issues with her father, but she is unable to help much without knowing the terms of the contract. If MC cheated on midterms, Bella pulls him aside after the meeting and lets him know that he's suspected of cheating on the exam. She lets MC know how disappointed she is and that she's put her reputation on the line for him and that's not fair.

Bella invites MC to do yoga with him, which he eventually accepts.

While studying in the library, Bella and MC discuss his study habits. Bella admits that she doesn't have an affinity for the sciences. She leaves MC alone for a moment, forgetting her glasses at his study table, and MC discovers that her glasses are fake and teases her about them. If they are dating, Bella invites MC off campus for lunch. Bella tells MC that the Handbook is blurry on fraternization. She tells him that it will be fine as long as they keep their relationship to themselves and act normal on campus. At lunch, MC is surprised to learn that Bella has only been at B&R for a little over 2 years. She reveals that she doesn't particularly enjoy her responsibilities as a teacher and would have ideally opened a book store with her husband. They decide to spend Saturday together at the end of their meal.

If Bella and MC are going out, Jill approaches them and makes some small talk. In any condition, Bella talks with MC about the philosophy surrounding chakras. If they are dating, Bella pays attention to whether or not MC checks out other girls during the class. She tells him that she won't bring him back since he made fun of the class. She seems disappointed in MC's behavior.

If MC and Bella are dating, for their Saturday date, they stay in. Bella's idea is to sit and have a conversation, but MC surfs the tv channels for something to have on while they eat. Eventually he stops at the adult channels, and Bella objects to eating to porn. They have a conversation where Bella claims women do a great many things they don't enjoy to make men happy even though they don't enjoy them. Eventually, he gives the remote control to Bella and she puts on HGTV style programming. MC starts to rub her feet as an apology for how he upset Bella during yoga class. MC asks Bella if she has experience with beer pong if he's planned it for the next party. She boasts to being the beer pong champion and sets up cups for them to play wagering the control of the TV to the victor. Whether or not MC wins, they end up watching porn, and Bella teaches MC about anal.

At the Thanksgiving Party, MC runs into Jill. If MC and Bella are dating, Jill points out that it will be the first year she hasn't spent with Bella in a few years and lets MC know that she intends to resume talking to Bella again. When he goes out to the small dock, Bella calls MC and tells him the plan for everyone to gather at DIK house in the morning before MC, Maya, Derek, and, if she's involved, Sage head over to the Baileys' for thanksgiving.

If MC is dating Bella, rather than sleeping in his tent like in other story lines, he heads to Bella's house, wakes her up, and plays guitar outside her door until she lets him in. Once they get into bed, Bella notices MC staring at the wedding picture of her and James. She lets MC know that even though they are still legally married, James "hasn't been her husband in a long time." She does not know where he is. In addition to saying that he is missing, she lets MC know that she didn't want him to leave, he might be alive, but no one knows where he is if that's the case.

## Relationships

#### **Main Character**

Isabella at first did not like the MC seeing him as a troublemaker such as when he was stripped naked by the HOTs and left to fend for himself by the DIKs she caught him hiding in a bush behind her car. Throughout the story however Isabella gets closer with the MC where she allows him to call her Bella. While the two have very different senses of humor it is clear that the MC's humor is starting to rub off on her.

Isabella does believe her attraction to the MC is wrong due to her marriage with James but admits she can't fight it. Isabella will go out of her way to help the MC, letting him stay at her house when the MC and Maya have an argument. By the end of season 8 if the player has selected Isabella's path she is seen to be quite affectionate with the MC but she does worry how their relationship can survive being the MC's teacher, and the fact that she is almost double his age.

#### **Jill Royce**

Isabella, or "Bella" as Jill calls her is Jill's best friend. Isabella is very protective of Jill.

#### **Cathy Jones**

Cathy is friends with Isabella, and is seen being consoled by Isabella and Jill Royce after the nude photo of her leaks on the DIKs Rooster page.

#### **Tybalt Burke**

Isabella's relationship with Jill's would-be-suitor Tybalt is one-sided, as Tybalt frequently tries to get on Isabella's good side to impress Jill, while Isabella openly and intensely (in her own words) loathes Tybalt and frequently joins Jill to get her away from him.

#### **B&R Students**

Isabella commands respect (and maybe even fear) from her students, due to her icy, standoff-ish nature.
