One thing that I’ve noticed is that there are a TON of articles about the original trio, but there are hardly any about Bella, and the few articles there are mostly use old and inaccurate information… Here are the actual facts about Bella, using all of the information that I gathered over the course of the first 10 episodes of season 3!
Family
Not much is said about Bella’s family, all we know for sure about them is that her father is a professor, and as a result she has moved around all her life (She hasn’t gone to the same school 2 years in a row!). As of episode 10, we still have not seen her house or her family, which makes me doubt that we will at all in this season (fingers crossed for a season 4!).
Becoming a mermaid
Unlike Cleo and Rikki (and Emma too!), Bella has been a mermaid since the age of 9. This puts her with about 8 more years’ experience of being a mermaid than the other girls, but it seems that she is not significantly more skilled at it due to this advantage. She became a mermaid in a sea cave in Ireland (where her family was living at the time), which she had happened upon while her parents were out. She had decided to pass the time exploring, and felt somehow drawn to the cave, where she felt like she belonged. She has been a mermaid ever since!
Powers
Bella’s power, after much speculation by the fans, has finally been revealed to be Jelly.
Though this power may seem strange and even a little useless at first glance, it has actually turned out to be very useful. In the first episode, Bella uses her power alongside Cleo’s to help Rikki out of a dangerous situation, and in episode 2, she uses it to create a pathway across a river. She seems to be able to solidify water entirely, not just put it into a jelly-like state (from water to solid and everywhere in between!). Also, she seems to be able to turn her jellyized water back into its original form- which is fortunate, since neither Cleo nor Rikki would be able to turn it back to a normal liquid.
Romantic Interests
Bella’s crush in the show is Will, who is also new in town. This turns out to be a bit of a problem, since Will is eager to find out as much as he can about Mako island. Bella and Will become friends, but Will becomes increasingly suspicious about Bella’s strange behavior, especially her aversion to water. Unfortunately for Bella, Will isn’t the only guy in her life. Nate was left in a daze in his initial encounter with her, and becomes progressively more annoying (and creepy!) in his attempts to win her heart.
Singing
Bella is also the lead singer in Nate’s band, for which Lewis is the drummer. In the first episode, Nate sings at the opening of Rikki’s café, causing a number of people to begin leaving, including Nate’s initial drummer! Thankfully, Bella steps in to save the day, and Lewis is volunteered by Cleo to fill in for the old drummer. After this, Bella and Lewis become permanent additions to Nate’s band, which makes regular appearances at the café.
Well, that’s all the information I have for now! I will try to post updates as I receive them!
