Bella was born on the colony world Dolberg to descendants of the first settlers. As such her family owned huge tracts of undeveloped land that she loved to roam around and explore in. Standard aptitude tests placed her in the genius category and as such she received a planetary scholarship to attend University in the Empire with an eye to joining their Scout corps after graduating. There she meet two really good friends, Beatrice Beauchamp and Beth Bentley and collectively they were known as the Three Bs. Unfortunately politics at home changed and funding for her scholarship dried up and Bella wasn't able to afford her last semester and actually get her diploma.
Her close friendship with Beatrice saved the day and with a letter of recommendation from her Bella's application to the Scout Corps was accepted. Bella was a pretty good Scout, roaming the galaxy and poking her nose into unexplored areas and meeting new people. Along the way she made contact with an Aslan named Seabastion and established a fairly good working relationship with him. Beatrice's backing was enough to get Bella into the Scout Corps, however Beatrice and her families patronage was just barely enough to cut through the bureaucracy and nepotism to get her well deserved promotion to Senior Scout barely two years before mustering out.
 
Bella is now on a layover at the Drinax station as she makes her way back to Empire space and then on to her homeworld when her experience in the Scout Corps comes to the Kings attention.
