Annabelle "Bella" Dawson is a character roleplayed by saii_rp. You can find videos of Bella's past adventures here.

General Information
Annabelle "Bella" Dawson is 20 year old girl from a small southern town. She was raised as a traditional southern belle with a thick country accent. She competed in beauty pageants growing up and had aspirations to be Miss USA. She was top of her graduating class with straight A's, but did not attend college after graduation. Bella was sheltered from the real world and was never allowed to "live a little". When she moved to Los Santos after discovering her family's secret, she dyed her hair and desired a more exciting lifestyle. As she spends time in the city, she quickly learns that "the fast life" is a lot harder than she anticipated. Because she is naïve for her age, the choices she makes for herself are based on impulse and not from experience. In her adventures, she begins to learn the value of trust and what she needs to do in order to "fit in".

She is now a prospect for the Vagos and a music artist at MDM Records.

Background Story
Bella was raised in a strict and traditional household. Her mom was a homemaker and her dad was the family doctor, turned Mayor, of her home town. She lived what people would consider the "godod life". Her family was wealthy and Bella was gifted all of the material possessions she desired. Money was never an issue for her and her family. She never needed a job of her own or made any big decisions for herself. Before church one Sunday, some of the older women were looking at a "Missing Person" flyer that had an uncanny resemblance to Bella. The flyer included a sketch of what a kidnapped baby would possibly look like 18 years later. Curious, Bella began to look up the the story of that missing baby. She discovered that the parents were from Los Santos. The dad went to jail for proof of involvement with the disappearance (although he pleaded not guilty and claimed he was framed) and the mother is in and out of rehab and jail. The baby's grandparents are the people still perusing the search while they help take care of the mother's second child.Since the similarity of the sketch seemed surreal, Bella went to look for her baby photos to compare to the provided missing persons image. All of her baby pictures started around one-two years old and her parents claimed any older pictures were lost in a fire. Her gut told her to seek out information on that fire, and as she suspected, the fire never happened. Her parents lied to her. Faced with a harsh reality, she realizes she can not report her suspicions to the police. Since her dad is the Mayor, it is likely that no one would believe her anyways. If they did believe her, the parents she loved would be arrested, and Bella could not stomach the thought of that. She decided that in order to find out the truth about life, she must break away from her parents' boundaries. She impulsively decided to run away to Los Santos and dye her hair red (her favorite color) so no one could identify her. She wanted to be closer to the truth and to finally be her own person. She wanted the opportunity to date and meet new people, which is something she was rarely able to do back home. She wanted to finally make her own decisions and live her life as any young adult would. This was the beginning of her new life.

Discovering Crime Arc
When Annabelle (Bella) first moved to Los Santos, she realized that in order to get ahead in the city, you may have to bend the rules a little. She started off by doing odd jobs like DoDo runs and sanitation. She started to meet new people and ask questions on their time in the city. She wanted to learn all she can about this crazy city. On a DoDo run one afternoon, a partner she worked with showed her how to rob the convenience stores on her routes and gave her the first joint after a job well done. Addicted to the adrenaline rush, she wanted to learn more about the underground jobs in the city.

One day, she found a new DoDo partner who would teach her a little more than robbing a convenient store. He showed her "Old Denny's" and taught her how to get into the dark web. They dressed as construction workers and proceeded to rob a house on Fudge Lane. Little did they know, that area belonged to Marabunta Grande, and they didn't take kindly to people breaking in to the houses of their families. They were quickly discovered, and while attempting to get out of the situation, Bella's partner was shot right in front of her. Confused on what to do next, they gang member who shot him drove them to seek EMS and robbed them of everything they had, including all of Bella's cash and food.

Upon leaving the hospital, the new friend she made got amnesia and did not remember any prior events. They caught a taxi back to the apartments to end their crazy day. When they arrived to the apartments, a familiar car was there to greet her. It was the guy they just encountered! When he realized he stole her food, he proceeded to feed her before she concluded her day.

Shortly after her unfortunate encounter breaking the law, she was soon taught how to chop cars and boost as another way to feed that adrenaline rush.

Bad Bitch Arc
Bella continued doing those odd jobs and eventually got a job at Uwu Café where she started meeting new people. She started hanging out with Deon once he moved to the city (who she considered her older brother) and Anthony. Through Anthony, he met Rylee, who would soon become one of her best friends. She even went on what some would consider a "first date" on an impulsive ride to the mountains. A few days later, she would receive her first kiss that would leave her thoughts confused and jumbled. Not knowing how to process what happened, she convinced herself that he only kissed her to say he was her "first kiss". In an attempt to mask her emotions, she changed her hair to pink and black, changed her style, and got a few tattoos.

One day at the Sana concert, she realized a guy she had worked with one day at DoDo was on the balcony. Soon after texting him, they began hanging out some more. He goes by the name Liam Onita, and he would be the one to really mess with her emotions. His personality was captivating, his past was a mystery, and that really intrigued her. He started sending her mixed signals and Bella admitted she had some kind of feelings towards him. He told her that if she wanted to "see where things go", that she would have to have a talk with Grail and break off any intimate encounters. Eager to win Liam's attention, she complied as soon as she was able to.

The "group" (who consisted of Bella, Deon, Rylee, Anthony and Liam) started grinding together, although some days the group would be slightly indecisive on what jobs they may do. This caused some friction when time was limited and they were missing out on money and rep. Side Story: Throughout these group adventures, Anthony started crushing on Rylee, even though the feelings were not reciprocated. This caused many nights of drama and frustration. Bella, Deon and Liam began doing their best to avoid hours of listening to him rant about Rylee. This eventually concluded when he took a trip to the Bahamas.

Bella soon after noticed Liam's personality became very short and rude. Because of her feelings towards him, she tolerated how he treated her just so she could spend time around him. His past started revealing itself to him, and even though Bella wanted to be the person he confided in, her inability to be patient and understanding pushed him away. In a very harsh tone, he sent her along her way, telling her she was too naïve and that she needed to experience life a little more. This really set the flame for her, and she decided she was going to learn how to be a heartless "bad bitch". She wanted to prove to herself (and him) that she could learn street smarts, learn how to manipulate people around her, that she didn't "care", and that she could handle herself in the rough city of Los Santos. Rylee and Deon began teaching Bella how to be a "bad bitch", by challenging her to change her attitude and meet new people. She would spend many hours asking other people how to be a "bad bitch" and tried to alter her attitude accordingly.

Her personality gradually started to shift. She began believing that everyone thought she was foolish and annoying. This caused a lot of anger and internal struggles. She started to blame the way Liam treated her as the reason behind her personality shift. He would be really cold and mean to her one day, and then text her a smiley face, leading her on again. He convinced her that she was going to be kept at a short leash. He didn't want her, but he did want to push her to go slightly crazy. Manipulation at it's finest. The once "kind hearted southern girl's" fuse got shorter and her temper grew hotter. Eventually she would become a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any fragile second.

Her impulsive behavior with boosting brought her to jail for the first time. She thought her first time in jail would bring her to tears, but instead, she ended up laughing all the way to Bolingbrook Penitentiary. Bella was caught in a chase trying to rescue Rylee from getting caught. The chase ended in her hitting a tree and being projected through the windshield, landing on the ground with a concussion. She was arrested again that same week while doing a C boost with Rylee and Grail. Bella was kind of excited when she learned this was the first time Grail was arrested and that she was the "first" for something in his book.

Over time, sweet southern belle began teaching other's how to do crime in the city.

Wu-Chang Idol Arc
Annabelle "Bella" Dawson decided to audition for Wu-Chang Idol. She was nervous as hell and was getting over a cold that effected her voice box. Despite those struggles, she performed a parody cover of Sana's "Country Boy" for the auditions in front of April Fooze, Mr. K, Vinny, and a few other important people in Los Santos. The parody cover was titled "City Boy" since she was a country girl discovering those "bad boys" from the city. She worked on the music with her brother Deon Williams and they successfully finished two cover songs. She managed to pass the auditions and performed in the second round of Wu-Chang idol with the second song she had been practicing.

The second show, the contestants were required to perform a cover song. A cover song preferably from Wu-Chang records. She decided to switch up genres and show the audience her rendition of "Not Afraid To Die" by Damien Tinkerman and P Money. In a funny chain of events, Ramee was also performing the same song in the competition.

In an overwhelming ending to the day, she passed the second round of the competition and Deon was hired on at Wu-Chang records as an audio engineer.

She went on to round 3 and wrote a song with Don Dolph called "Small Town Girl". It was her first time writing a song, but she decided to try out the country hip-hop vibe. Unfortunately, she was eliminated with Ricardo Perez, but they were both offered an Intern position in the company.

Intro To Gang Life Arc
Bella needed a break from the city and decided to visit some friends out of town and then spent some extra time in her apartment while she was sick. When she finally decided to come back out into the city again, she immediately started working at UWU again to get her money back up. She met Maeve one day while working, and they hit it off immediately. They began boosting together and doing small crimes to pass the time.

While Bella and Maeve were hanging out with Grail, Maeve received a call from a couple of guys from R.U.S.T asking them to be "passenger princesses" for a race. After that they began hanging around R.U.S.T for a while, and Bella learned a lot about coms during chases, rat strats and jumps.

One day, Bella decided to reach out to Liam (who she had a "falling out" with during her angry arc) to say hello. She wasn't expecting him to text her back, but he eventually did respond. He invited her to help out with some oxy runs one day, and they remained civil. He didn't seem to have much memory of their "falling out".

A few weeks later, he offered her the opportunity to become a hangaround for the new Aztecas. She accepted this opportunity, and began getting to know some of the other family members. The family included Liam, Francis, Kat, Guinevere, Zale, Vergil and Ace. Eventually Deon joined as a hangaround as well.

Bella's first task as an Azteca hangaround was to be present and a "look out" for Zale's blooding in. After he was blooded in, she bonded with the gang and participated in drinking absinthe and racing Futos.

Eventually she completed her hangaround tasks and was promoted to Prospect.
