Skin Tone: Slightly tan
Personal:
Personality (5 sentences at least):Arabella lived much of her life at her grandmother’s house in Londium and she was raised to be proper. But all she really wanted was too break out of the model made for her and dance around to her own tune. She keeps much of the same modest and proper ways, because it will always be a part of her, but she's trying to loosen up. She hates having people worry about her, so she tries to hide it when she is upset. It takes awhile for her to trust people, so she won’t let them know too much about her past. But once she knows she can trust a person-or crew-people can see the other side of her that is talkative and full of life.
Arabella really enjoys to cook. Despite it is also what she does for work, she really enjoys it for fun too. She used to be found experimenting with dishes when she lived with her grandmother. Since then she hasn’t experimented much with money being tight so often. When she has down time, Arabella can either be caught reading a book or writing in her journal. One thing very few people get to see of her is when she dances. It is one of the things her grandmother subjected her to that she still enjoys to do to this day.
People have said Arabella is intelligent. It isn’t a natural gif though-and she admits it. It’s from years of private tutors and private schools. The only thing she does admit to having any skill with is her cooking. She hates it when people take photos of her. It mainly has to do with the fact her grandmother used to have new photos taken for every new season and special occasion. Some people have managed to take candid shots though. Needless to say, those people-Bettie included back then-saw her wrath. Even in a joke around manner.
One thing about Arabella is though she will hide things from people, she cannot lie to them. If she is lying, her ears turn a brilliant shade of red. Not many people know about it, but eventually people have figured it out and then she cannot hide things from them. The only time she is graceful is when she is dancing. Other then that she is an utter clutz. It has landed her in one too many dangerous situations. At one point in time she was sneaking into people’s barns on the outer planets or in fields. When she would get up and, she’d fall or hit something and cause a commotion.
Background (5 sentences at least): Arabella was born on May 14th, 2508 in a small town on the planet of Ezra. Her family didn’t have much money and were already going through a rough time. Arabella’s grandmother was withholding the money her husband left their daughter, Sara, who was Arabella’s mother. Sara’s mother didn’t like that her daughter married an Independent and as a result was estranged from the family. But Arabella’s parents tried desperately not to let Arabella meet her grandmother, but in the end, she was sent away to live her.
When Arabella was two, her parents had another baby, a son they named after his father, Timothy. Arabella adored her new baby brother and they played together while her parents did the farming. When he started to talk, he called her ‘Bella’ & everyone else picked up on it. But when she was four and he was barely two, Bella went outside and Timothy followed her. He crawled into the pasture where their few cows were and was trampled by one of them. Being so small and not having enough money for top medical attention, he died. Bella’s family was grief stricken and her mother had it the worse. Her mother began to withdraw form everybody and just laid in bed crying all day, blaming herself. Bella’s father couldn't raise Bella, do farmwork and take care of Sara at the same time, so he called up Sara’s mother in Londinum and asked if she would keep Bella until she was old enough to be on her own. After a few months and long arguments, she agreed. Arabella left Ezra a month before her fifth birthday. It was bittersweet. Her father said she could come back later on but something in his eyes said he didn't believe that.
Bella grew-up under the careful grooming of her grandmother from then one. She was raised to be a proper lady, but Bella missed her old life. While there, she befriended her grandmothers cook, Bettie. Bettie saw that Bella had a natural cooking ability and whenever Bella could steal away, Bettie would teach more about the art of cooking when she was twelve. Arabella fell in love with cooking and would use it as a way to relieve her stress after a hard day of lessons. Between the languages she was studying, piano, dance, math, writing, history, sewing and etiquette lessons, she was beyond her level of being able to cope with everything in her life. Especially when she was fourteen and learned of the death of both her parents. For years she had been writing her parents but at twelve, tey stopped. Snooping about she found a final letter from her father that was hidden. Her grandmother had kept it from her, but it had been nearly four years prior that her mother had died. She had taken her own life. Her father had finally died from ill health after taking care of the farm alone for so long. He wouldn’t take care of himself in order to keep the house he had grown up in. Arabella hated her grandmother from that day forward and would spend as little time alone with her possible.
Life at her grandmother’s house started becoming unbearable and she felt like she was suffocating. Arabella was being groomed for her coming out party beginning at the age of her seventeenth. Her coming out wasn’t until her eighteenth birthday but the time stretched. Before her seventeen she decided to runaway; with some money she had tucked away and a few close possessions, Bella stole away one night during a party after saying she felt ill. The only person she cared to say good-bye to was Bettie, leaving her with a photo and a special charm from her charm bracelet, Bella hugged her second mother goodbye. Since then, they have only seen each other once more in person. They only write and talk when she can get to a place to wave her.
Since then Bella has been on her own. Everything she owns is in duffel bags and cloth knapsack she carries from place to place. In her travels she has met people who have been kind and welcoming to her, and others who have taken advantage of her; one such event happened on the ship Corion, but she let few people know of that incident. Since then she is especially cautious about trusting people. She is always happy to start a new job in a new place, but Arabella will be careful about what she tells people. Right now she is looking for a ship to travel on until she runs out of fare or finds a place to settle down finally.
Career/Occupation: Arabella is a cook-food is her engine & spices her wrench.
Alliance or Browncoat or Niether: Bella is no longer sure what she is & is trying to figure that out.
Talents: Besides her natural cooking abilities, Bella is also fairly good at sewing as she has been stringent with her money over the years. She is always glad to fix a ripped shirt or hem some pants for a fellow crew member. Dancing is another skill but there is no real need for it out there.

She sold several of them when she first started off. Bella also wears a bracelet on her wrist that she bought years ago. It has various charms to remind her of people and events that she doesn't want to forget. That is one thing she will never sell. In her knapsack she carries more of the things she would have to decorate a personal space if she finds something more permanent, her journal, more personal care items, and a Belgian Gold Engraved Flintlock CA47-1102L. Though she hates the thought of using it, after being on Corion, Bella bought the small gun for her own protection. For goals, Bellahopes to find a job that is more stable then what she has been doing. Mostly she goes from planet to planet, ship to ship. She wants to find a ship or planet to settle on with a stable place to work.

RP Sample: (5 sentences at least)
Bella set her duffel bag down on the ground against the wall of the store. Athens was proving to be hard to find work. She collapsed down onto her duffel bag, finding it safest to protect her belongings. It had been almost a month, and the only job she had held here was cooking some small meals for a bar. But she quit after too many men tried groping her, proving, yet again, that wherever she went, Bella would be scared. But scared of what… Bella thought silently. Scared that one of those men may just be him. May just be the one who… Shaking the thoughts away, she stood up & stretched. Looking around, she decided to go to see if any new ships had landed & were looking for a cook.
