## Character

### Appearance

Bella is a fair-skinned teenage girl with a medium build. She has wavy, hip-length, pastel pink hair parted to the side and big lavender eyes. Her makeup typically consists of baby pink eyeshadow with glittery white highlights, white liner, rosy blush, and garnet pink lipstick. She seems to gravitate towards styles that are feminine and old-fashioned with a personal touch of modernity.

In the animated series, Bella's hair is colored rose gold, and her eyes are a darker shade of purple combined with blue.

### Outfits

Bella's primary outfit consists of a two-piece pink tweed blazer and miniskirt set with black sequin accents decorating the edges, waistband, breast pockets, and also running down the right side of the skirt. Underneath, she wears a pink crop top with a logo spelling "California Dream" inside a yellow circle on the front. She also wears white thigh-high socks and a black Alice band decorated with a large black bow and a string of pearls. Her shoes are pink and white open-toe sandals with chunky high heels and pearls running across the straps.

Bella's secondary outfit consists of a sleeveless, pink tweed mini-dress with a white peter pan collar and a black ribbon bow. Over it, she wears a cropped, pastel pink, leather moto jacket with quilted stitching and pearls decorating the sleeves. She also wears pink knit tights with an "RH" pattern stitched into the fabric. Her shoes are black chunky heeled sandals with pink ribbon straps.

When dressing more casually, Bella wears a white t-shirt under a pink vinyl bustier top and pink high-waisted skinny jeans. She also wears gold heels with pink straps. For accessories, she wears a gold bracelet and a necklace made of pink and gold beads. When video-calling Jade in "Going Viral," Bella is wearing a pink hoodie with white polka dots and has the word Sparkle embroidered on the chest.

### Personality

Like the other girls in the group, Bella is extremely talented and artistic, having won several awards in her chosen field. Though she has no qualms about boasting her achievements, she's also a friendly and outgoing person who easily befriended her roommates and hypes them up when they need it. She's also easily excitable and somewhat impulsive, but overall a team player who works well under pressure.

In "When the GLAM Hits the Fan", Jade angrily states that their current crisis never would have happened "if Bella was still here," implying that she plays a significant role in keeping the group on track. Violet describes her as "confident, classy, and cool," and suggests that they are similar in attitude.

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Poppy Rowan

Bella and Poppy are good friends, bonding over their love of artistic expression. In particular they enjoyed working on their runway project, with Poppy being heartbroken to see Bella being expelled.

#### Sunny Madison

Sunny and Bella, other than being casual friends, do not have much direct interaction. They do still care greatly for eachother, with Sunny being very excited to see Bella's return to Rainbow High.

#### Skyler Bradshaw

Both having softer personalities, her and Skyler get along rather well. The best example of this is when Bella's expulsion was posted on the internet by Violet, causing Bella embarrassment. Skyler defends Bella, letting Violet know that she should respect her privacy and wishes.

#### Violet Willow

While starting out typical, Bella and Violet's relationship changed forever when Violet posted Bella's expulsion onto the internet, unintentionally humiliation Bella. She then calls Jade, demanding that she tell Violet to take the video off the internet. Once confronted, Violet denies taking the video down, not fully grasping how hurt Bella truly is. After Jade and Ruby give her a taste of her own medicine, Violet removes the video and apologizes to Bella, mending their relationship.

#### Amaya Raine

Despite barely even knowing each other, Amaya and Bella have a rather complicated relationship. Amaya first learns of her after meeting her runway group, learning that she is in fact her replacement. Amaya feels guilty about this, however Bella appears rather bitter towards her. While never directly confronting each other, their friendship is in a rather awkward place.

#### Avery Styles

Bella and Avery became close friends when they bonded about feeling unsure of their friendships, with Avery opening up about Ainsley shutting her out. To mend their feelings, Avery takes Bella out on a joy ride in her car, bonding them and cheering them both up.

#### Karma Nichols

While not interacting much, Karma is shown to appreciate Bella, wanting her to come on her show and tell about her reentry to Rainbow High.

### Enemies

#### Colin

After Colin cheated on Both Ruby and Skyler, Bella has an understandably bad opinion of Colin. This is especially seen when Kia tries to pair her up with him, which she responds to in disgust.

## Trivia

* Her name was originally "Bella Harper".
* Her theme color and name were based on "bella pink," a shade of very light pink used in paints.
* She is the first known official student to have been expelled from Rainbow High; we learn from Stella that there are other students who are cut.
* Although officially a part of Series 2, Bella was released earlier than the other characters. This may be because she was a part of the main cast of characters in the animated series.
* Bella had a much duller, more rose gold color scheme within the first few episodes of the animated series. For an unknown reason, this was changed to a brighter, more pink color.
* As stated during the Vi Life, Bella has gone back to standard public high school for a while.
* Some of the real-world inspirations for Bella’s outfits include:
	+ Bella’s T-shirt in her signature outfit has a very similar design to the logo of the *California Dream Barbie* line of dolls. This might be an intentional nod as Barbie is heavily associated with the color pink.
	+ Bella’s blazer and skirt featured in her signature outfit and her dress in the second outfit are likely inspired by the signature style of Chanel’s tweed suits.
