Starting off with her design, I adore her color scheme? The dark hair with pink/blue highlights (color depending on the pic) is a really visually pleasing combination and I love how they work so well despite one being warm and another a cold color; her hair's base color makes both look equally as pretty! Her entire design really radiates a feeling of sophistication and her tattoo is a really fun addition to her design, even if it's mostly hidden under her clothes!
Personality wise I really love how directly her upbringing and past problems are showing in her now as a mature adult? In particular the part about her overcompensating now feels so realistic, as it's something I have sadly had to witness a lot of people raised in poverty and abuse start doing similarly in real life :--( Same for her tendency to be manipulative; it isn't surprising giving how little control she was able t have of her life early on.
At the same time though you get a feeling that she's starting to do better with things like her eating disorder and is kinda just trying her best to enjoy her life? Which is nice even if it's clear from her profile she's not necessarily the kindest person out there, but it definitely is a refreshing take and makes her feel very well-rounded and rooted to reality, even with her partial vampirism being a supernatural element!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun messing around with how to do her hair dye. I love blue/black color schemes. But I feel like she's more of a pink person. And yeah, she's supposed to be more sophisticated and pomp. xD The tattoo was also fun, she got that during her biker with questionable morals phase. She kinda still likes it though, even if that ain't her lifestyle anymore.
And thanks again! I try to make realistic characters and characters with flaws that can also be strengths. With Bella, she's been through a lot and I felt like it wouldn't be authentic or it would be beating around the bush to just make all of that trauma go away. So her past really heavily influences how she acts in current.
Despite that, she's come a long way. She's trying to fix and better herself and in some regards it is working. She doesn't mean to be unkind or cold but she's afraid to not be, if that makes sense. Like she's worried about what would happen if she lets her guard down. That and life has kind of hardened her in a sense. She got to this place where she has a lot and in a way she feels like the universe owes it to her for dealing her such a hard past. Basically she's just got a lot of baggage, but deep down she's not a bad person.
