Background / History

Bella was originally associated with Sirin, whom she addresses as “Her Majesty the Queen.” She explains that Sirin had always called her Bella, a name said to belong to one of the Queen's companions. At first, Bella does not understand human concepts such as love, but her experiences with Feng Chen gradually teach her about human life and attachment. 51 52

She becomes Feng Chen's Dependent through an order from “God.” Although initially bound to that authority, she accepts Feng Chen's command and continues calling him “King.” As a former Judgment-class Honkai Beast, she is still capable of overwhelming powerful enemies despite her reduced combat output. 52 55

After transforming into a human body, Bella accompanies Feng Chen openly in the real world. She can later shift freely between human and Honkai Beast forms, and becomes one of his combat Familiars in SAO alongside Higanbana. 66 71 96

Bella initially serves Feng Chen as a loyal subordinate, but her bond with him becomes romantic. She confesses that Feng Chen gave her a home and taught her that not all humans are bad; after he tries to protect her from the Scythe of Fate, she asks to follow him rather than be left unable to help. Feng Chen accepts his feelings for her and recognizes her as his Familia Honkai Beast. 159 160

During the Sirin Project conflict, Bella briefly stands against Feng Chen as the “Second Herrscher” and allies with Durandal against him. Their later interactions return to their established relationship as companions and lovers. 204 209 215

The narrative later distinguishes Bella from the original Bella who died during the Second Honkai War: Benarès survived as a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, yet developed reason, emotions, and a human form. Feng Chen insists that she should be regarded as a human who became a Honkai Beast rather than merely a monster. 323

Appearance

Bella can alter her size and form dramatically, appearing as a small dragon, a winged human girl, or a colossal white dragon in combat. 66 71 153

• In human form, she is depicted with light-blue hair, long eyelashes, and purplish-blue wings marked with crescent-moon symbols. 66
• She can shrink to a small cat-like or thumb-sized form for travel and concealment. 55 71 96
• Her dragon form has immense claws, wings, scales, and a white draconic body. 55 153
• Her scales ignite when activating the Dragon of Fire form. 55
• In SAO, her human-form status panel eventually changes from Familiar data to player data, though traces of both datasets remain. 143 156

Personality

Bella begins as obedient, inexperienced, and literal-minded. She follows commands without hesitation, struggles to understand human feelings, and initially views clearing obstacles for Feng Chen as an honor. 52

As she spends more time with Feng Chen, Bella becomes caring and increasingly self-directed. She studies cooking, cleaning, and the expectations of a maid, paying close attention to changes in Feng Chen's mood and condition. 133 137

Her devotion can become possessive. Bella is jealous of potential romantic rivals, worries that she is inferior to more capable maids such as Rita, and openly wants exclusive time with Feng Chen. Despite this, she does not interfere excessively with Sirin because both Sirin and Feng Chen are important to her. 179 215 248 329
