Personality: Raised and influenced early on by Dixie has caused Bella to become more feminine like her mother, and she enjoys partaking in more 'girly' activities like caring for her appearance and trying to remain lady-like. However, Dixie also rubbed off on her daughter in a bad sense, as Bella is very dramatic. She does it more for her own amusement rather than out of an actual sense of drama, and loves over exaggerating things to mess with others. She's also a very charming girl, and is an expert at weaving her words together to create elaborate rouses and stories. This isn't always used in the best way, as due to her sense of mischief, she can often instill lies within others just to create amusement for herself. It's never meant in a seriously harmful manner, and is all in good fun. Bella also boasts a very social nature, and she loves meeting new people and talking with them. Despite all this, she's surprisingly hard working when it comes to her singing, and she's very smart when creating new songs and melodies for the Singin' Strays. While at times she can appear bossy, especially when it comes to her songs and how they are performed, she's an overall dedicated and warm hearted girl who loves causing a little bit of fun.

History: Bella was born in Cash and Dixie's litter of pups, along with their other partner Agnetha. Lyle Snodgrass, their owner, had decided to adopt out the pups, however Dixie, not bearing to be parted from all her children, managed to convince him to keep Bella. Becoming very attached to Bella, and not wanting her to experience the heartbreak of separating from her siblings, Dixie kept Bella away from Dana and Bone's play in the early days. Once her siblings, as well as Granny Rose's pups were all gone, Bella felt lonely, and became closer to her half-sister, Anni-Frid, and Granny Rose's remaining son, Lyle. The three were a close band of friends as they traveled with the Singin' Strays, and they often treated one another like siblings.

As Bella grew older and became more involved in the Singin' Strays business, she became fascinated with songs, and began to compose her own songs over time. Practicing hard and consulting her family, she managed to write and perform her first song, and it became a huge hit with audiences. Bella had found her passion, and began avidly writing songs. They traveled very often, hardly ever staying in a town for more than a week, and combined with her busy schedule, she was prevented from making many friends or developing any relationships, and so she remained very close with the only two dogs her age: Anni-Frid and Lyle. When she saw Dana once a year, it often felt awkward, as she barely ever saw her sister, and though she tried to strike up a conversation, Dana was often less than willing to respond. Though Bella is saddened by her detachment with her, and was even further saddened when Lyle left, she did her best to remain positive, and hold onto the few friends she has.
