Bella is a spirited little adventurer who would spend every minute outdoors if she could, happily catching lizards and caring for her pet snake, Slinky. While other kids might squish bugs, Bella gently rescues them, always making sure they get home their families. Bella believes all animals deserve love, even the scary ones.
Bella can never quite choose between her rescued king snake, Slinky, and a lemur when asked her favorite animal, but with a grin she explains, “actually, because their tails are amazing.” Deep down, her love for Slinky shines brightest—she proudly shows her to friends, gently teaching them there’s nothing to fear, only wonder, proving even the most misjudged creatures can be truly special.
Bella’s favorite outdoor activity is swimming, this little girl is part fish. She rescues bees from the swimming pool even though she’s been stung. She goes back to rescue more. She doesn’t care if the pool is 60° if you ask her if she wants to swim, she’s all in! If there’s an ocean, or a lake or even a big puddle, that’s where she’ll be.
