EDIT: EEEEY I FIGURED IT WAS ABOUT TIME FOR YOU GUYS TO SEE BELLA'S SECOND REF >: D I drew this end of March, and I'm still so happy with how it turned out omg. I struggled so much with planning her first ref that I'm incredibly pleased to see how far I've come since then ;v;
I love this lil dragon lady <3 You guys have no idea, ahah

---

I'M SO PSYCHED LKASDF
I just remembered today's the day I scheduled to post my darling derg lady's ref >>>:'D
So I'm going to do that before I have to go to bed in... 10 minutes so I can get enough sleep for work tomorrow |D

I kid you not, she sat in a corner for very close to a year collecting dust until I was able to find the motivation and ideas to further flesh out her personality and backstory. I think I made her... last September-November?? I can't even remember at this point lol
However, Bella's slowly and steadily become one of my very favorite characters, right up there with Leah, Moth, Listra, and the rest //single tear// I think she has one of the most intense backstories out of all of my characters as well? I've put a lot of work into her, and of course it's also helped to develop her with my friends' characters, hehehehe
As for her reference, I made it this past summer actually! If you were part of that stream, then I'm sure you remember her

So without further ado, here's my soft derg lady >:3c 
I'm so excited for you guys to get to meet her at last eeeeeee

Name: Isabella (Bella)
Age: Late 100s (29-31 psychologically)
Location | Role: Lūnae Legati || Aries | Guard
Type(s): Dragon/Water
Personality: Clever (+) | Appreciative ( + ) | Conscientious (+) | Dynamic (+) | Forthright (+) | Well-bred ( = ) | Determined ( = ) | Regretful (-) | Over-imaginative (-) | Currently Timid (-) | Meek (-) | Airy (-)

Isabella is a kind soul with a deep appreciation for everything around her. Her past circumstances weren’t always kind to her, but through these adversities, she’s learned to take advantage of her strengths. Bella’s always been a clever lady, and her thirst for knowledge only further enhanced her already sharp mind. She strives to use her intellect for good—to use her talents for the benefit of others, and the intent and energy in which she carries out these wishes is undeniable. There’s always a small hop in her step or a lively swish to her tail, and despite her usually well-mannered behavior, others can sense that there’s a spark in her that refuses to be extinguished. Bottom line is, she wants to prove herself, for she knows that it’s difficult for others to take her seriously.

Despite all these positive traits, Isabella is regretful—regretful of not being more assertive in showing the townspeople that she cared for their wellbeing, regretful of not being able to fix her father’s mistakes, regretful of not doing… more. Intellectually, she knows that the burdens of her past were flung upon her back by the actions of another. She had little to no say in the matter or of the consequences thereafter. There had been too much damage done to repair her and her father’s images, but a part of her wonders… what if? What if things had been different? What if she had been different? What kind of world would she be living in today if her fanciful notions had come to fruition?

Extra Info:

Never in all her life did Isabella imagine that she’d be so far from the place she formerly called her home. This Dragon/Water type is an unlikely fugitive, brought to the Tribe of Lūnae Legati by the assassin of her late father in order to save her life. For more than a century, she’s lived in a gilded cage, and it’s only after finding her place in this tribe that she’s learning how to spread her wings. Lūnae Legati is unlike anything she’s ever seen or read about, but with the help of her new friends and her emerging passion, Bella will soon realize her full potential.

—For the sake of context, Bella's father was the duke of their small town, and he ruled over their people with an iron fist for generations (he was a pure dragon type Glowchu). Most of them grew to hate him, and Bella was raised to succeed him as duchess. Unlike her father, her heart went out to the townsfolk, but due to how her father was, there was little she could do to change how terribly he treated them. She was mostly confined to her father's manor, against her will, until that fateful night that changed her life forever...
—Isabella is originally from the west side of the Water Continent.
—The lace cuffs Bella wears hide scars on both of her wrists.
—Her left wrist has more scars than her right one.
—Her fighting “style” was initially rather… clumsy, but over time, she’s learned to take advantage of her abilities by playing defense and watching for opportunities to hit hard.
—When on guard duty, Bella dresses into her guard uniform and tucks one or two Braviary feathers into her braid.
—Her chest floof is very light and soft and wispy.
—Isabella brushes the fluff on her tail daily, and it’s very soft and silky.
—The bottom of her chonky tail has thicker skin/scales on it since it usually trails on the ground behind her.
—Bella’s unable to hoist her tail up in the air for long periods of time due to the back pain that accompanies this prolonged pose.
—She’s actually rather self-conscious about her tail, more specifically, it’s weight and size. While she’s grown to accept it and acknowledges its advantages, she personally thinks it’s cumbersome and avoids bringing attention to it.
—Her frustration towards others not taking her seriously fuels her passion to prove them wrong, but she tries not to let it show.
—Isabella's quite the bookworm, and her range of interest for literature is vast.
—She’s always found the concept flight and flying types in general fascinating due to the freedom and beauty associated with it.
—Though she hates to admit it and finds it ironic, she has a heavy fear of flying that she wishes she could grow past.
—The friends she considers herself closest to are two assassins Crux and Emrys and her roommate and best friend, a lil space bean named Lynx. >:3c
—Despite being intrigued with the lifestyle of night owls, Bella acknowledges that it simply doesn’t suit her in the long term. That being said, she won’t reject a night out with friends if she’s available.
