Background:
Bella Vista is the daughter of an Italian godfather named Don Antonio Vista and his wife. When Bella was born, her father was disappointed for he had no male heir. He imprisoned Bella and her mother and sentenced them both to die on Bella's first birthday. However, someone from Vista's gang broke them out and sent them away where Bella and her mother would be given sanctuary by Father Aden Moore at his church. When Bella was 6, Father Moore got drunk one night and brought Bella's mother to his quarters to claim her. She fought him and he furiously pushed out his bedroom window. Bella found her mother and Moore convinced her that her mother had committed suicide because she didn't want to care for her anymore. (This was going to be in the fanfiction, but it was just too dark). At 7, Bella began serving Moore as his assistant. At 9, Bella discovers Moore talking to someone about murdering Bruce Graves and notices him holding pictures of the Graves Family home. Bella snaps photos of the pictures to give to authorities to help stop Bruce's murder but Moore discovers her plot and threatens to kill her if she spoke about it. Moore attempts to burn the pictures, but Bella saves them. Fortunately and strangely, the pictures were unscathed. She spends the next 20 years living in fear until Bruce Graves's daughter, Jenni Graves comes into her life. Bella shows Jenni her pictures and tells her of Moore's involvement of Bruce's death. She even helps drug Moore so Jenni could kidnap him. After the death of Moore, Jenni offers Bella a place on her team, which she accepts.
Profile:
Bella was born on March 21, 1898 in Sacramento, California.
She has orange-brown and white fur, black stripes, and green eyes.
In regard to her voice, Bella speaks with a normal American accent, but she often has a slight hint of Italian when she's speaking quietly.
Due to having an unfortunate start in life, Bella is seen as cynical, harsh, and cold. She is generally friendly, but the least emotionally sociable of Jenni's group, and can be very intimidating at times due to her incredibly serious and direct demeanor.
Bella is well aware of who her father is and her ancestry. It's unknown whether or not her father knows if she's alive or not or who exactly help her and her mother escape. Since being the only child of Antonio Vista, Bella is the rightful heiress to the Vista name and family, possibly being the only female with such a title.
By marrying Horatio, it is possible that their son Joshua will inherit the Vista's family fortune for he is the grandson of Antonio Vista, despite not having the Vista's last name. It's also possible Bella had given up her family name by marrying Horatio as well.
