Gender: Female
Appearance:
Growing up, Bella was always a very adorable child and as she grew, she turned into a very beautiful young woman. Her long white hair is one of her vanity points as it has never been cut, not since she was a child. Her ocean blue eyes feel knowing whenever they peer into others, wide an clear as the sea... or as stormy as the tide whenever she manages to become upset. She has always been tall for her age, though now she stands around 5'8" making her a good height for the thing she loves most, dancing. Her body has also been kept in shape because of her love of dancing. Her skin is very pale white from spending much of her time indoors practicing her dancing, of course this has made her skin easy to sunburn. She loves to wear dresses whenever she is able to, often in blue as her other love is the ocean. Though no matter what, she always wears a black lace ribbon around her neck that had a small silver charm at the center that was given to her by her grandmother.
Personality:
Being the daughter of the French Ambassador, means that Isabella had to lean how to have proper manners and to always be on he best behavior no matter what she might be feeling or what was happening around her. With being a part of this type of family, Bella also had to learn how to deal with moving around often because of her father having to go from one country to the next. Bella tried to keep up a brave face and not be effected by the constant moving, but she found herself having difficulty making connections with people around her. Though, despite her troubles relating to people, her heart has always been pure and true and she is a humble despite the fact that her family has plenty of money. Her family had constant tutors around to educate her properly as well as to teach her manners they thought appropriate for whenever she was out in society. She often keeps other people at a distance, afraid to get close to them because she is afraid they will abandon her. Her family never was good about teaching her about love or how to care about others, so Bella usually keeps other people at a distance. She has tried to find love on her own before and the result was her being hurt and abandoned. Bella believes that love is a very special thing between people, though she is afraid that she might never find real love out there.
History:
Born and raised in Paris, Bella was the only daughter of the French Ambassador. Her father was born in France, though her mother is a native of Italy, a woman with remarkable beauty of her own. It was because of complications with her birth that her mother was unable to have any other children... something that seemed to anger her father considering how much he wanted to have a boy to pass on his legacy to. Though unable to have a male heir, he was determined to marry off his daughter to a man of wealth and nobility so that he could have a proper son-in-law and so his daughter wouldn't be so useless to him. Her family often had to travel from one country to another as she grew up, not knowing just how much her father wanted to marry her off until she was 16 and began setting up constant marriage interviews for her so that she could meet men that he deemed to be suitable for her.
Because of her parents contempt for her and because of their constant moving, Bella was often left alone, finding none who would love her and teach her about the care of another. Still, Bella grew up to be humble, never wanting to ask her family for anything, not whenever she was mostly to afraid to speak with them because of their harsh looks towards her. Isabella tried to make friends as a child, but they were rarely anywhere long enough for such things and before too long, she learned simply to keep to herself. Her parents gave her a monthly allowance that she kept to the side, storing it for whenever she would get to be old enough to leave them and their care.
Whenever she was 14, her grandmother, who had never seen her before, came and visited her only grandchild. The woman was stern and spoke sharply, but she talked hard to her parents telling them how foolishly they behaved just because the girl wasn't the heir that they wanted. She gave the girl a necklace and offered her perhaps the first real kindness and care that Bella had ever seen. Because of this small amount of care, Bella decided that she didn't want it to end. Instead of going back to being alone, Bella bought herself a beautiful orange colored ferret that she named 'Peaches'. Bella spoiled the animal and bought her everything that she could ever desire. Still, Bella had quite a bit of emptiness inside of her and found that she just wished to really make some connections to other people.
In one of the cities she found the children playing a card game and found out it was called Dueling. She secretly began learning about the game and bought vast amounts of cards to duel with with she was finally pleased. She found the Duel Academy though a visit her family made to Japan, and she begged her parents to allow her to go there so that for a while she would be able to live in one place for a time rather then always traveling. Though they were reluctant to pay for her to go to this Academy she reminded them that with her there they could travel and not have to keep hiring someone to keep an eye on her. Plus she said this would give her the chance to socialize so that she would be prepared for whatever husband they chose for her. Of course she had no intention of marrying anyone they chose, but she would use the excuse to obtain her goal. Once they managed to agree, Bella set off with her ferret, ready to get away from them and try to make some friends in the world.
During her time at the Academy she was often found to be alone and couldn't quite find a way to fit in since she was so used to being cut off from everyone else. Though she did meet one young man who seemed to care about her and they had a on and off again type of relationship for much of her first couple of years at the Academy. Though she till didn't seem to make too many other friends and during her time with this other guy she learned that they had a very complicated relationship and it seemed best to end things entirely so that she wouldn't continue to be hurt. This caused her to be alone and having to deal with family visits home all by herself whenever she would return feeling depressed. However, Bella started to wonder if her luck was turning around, during her junior year she manged to talk her parents into putting off the marriage interviews until after she left the Academy... which helped her because she planned on finding a way to escape them long before she left the Academy. And the biggest surprise of it all was the fact that she had run into someone else at the academy, Dante'. He was different, much like she was and the two of them seemed to click very quickly. For someone who never had anyone close before, she seemed to take easily to having Dante' as a friend... no, a best friend. He became the closest person in her life and things would have remained dreary for her if she hadn't run into him.
She graduated from Duel Academy and took what money she had saved up to move into an apartment in Domino city, it wasn't a lot so the apartment was in a pretty bad part of the city and she didn't have much space for her and her ferrets to live, but it was better then going back home. She hated visits back there, so even if the apartment wasn't great, she would make due because it was better then the alternative. Just a few weeks after being in Domino she learned of the Dueling College and decided to go there so that she could start over new. A few days before making her move from the apartment to the dorms, Peaches passed away of old age, leaving Bella and Shadow without her company. They have both become heartbroken, but Bella knew that she had to keep doing her best for the sake of Shadow and keeping him from getting too lonely. And a bit of good news seemed to arrive just whenever she needed it, she found out that Dante' would be attending the college with her. Perhaps with him there, she would be able to find a better way of fitting into all of these new changes.
