Bella Theory

[Deykar]

So my guess is that 3 years ago Bella was probably raped by a rich, fancy guy which couldnt take no for an answer. Basically the older version of Tybalt. Her husband failed to protect her and after that incident her trust in him and men in general was completely broken, which made her lose her smile and made her unable to have sex with her husband again which lead to them breaking up but without actually getting a divorce. Explains Bellas defensive nature, always seeming mad and also it would explain the "real" reason why she started crying after making out with the MC in the library if it wasnt just for adultery.

Also explains her immense hate boner for Tybalt. As for her secret room, i believe Bella probably got pregnant from the rape and was considering getting the child but eventually lost it involuntarily, So she had a nursery build but couldnt bring herself to get rid of the room furniture after she lost the kid. Her close friendship with Jill is probably because she sees her innocence and goes into protective big sister mode, so Jill doesnt experience the same fate. Before you went to college the MCs father did remind you to use protection during sex, so i fully expect some unwanted pregnancies during season 3. Which could lead to some PTSD for Bella.

Thoughts?

Dang...that's heavy...I never considered the possibility of the locked mystery room being a nursery.

I can't remember where I picked it up...whether it was on a forum around Steam, or something gleaned off of a Google search, or what...but I've heard it said that Dr. Pinkcake is NOT going to make Being a D.I.K. as heavy or as emotionally driven as Acting Lessons. With that in mind, if it's true, then it's hard to see a rape or a lost baby being a thing in this particular setting. Talk about a downer...sheesh! That would rain on everybody's parade...

But with that said, you bring up some good talking points. I've been curious about Isabella's seething hatred for Tybalt myself, and of course the tears in her eyes in the library. Your theory could very well explain those things...IF the good Doctor wants to go in such directions. Personally, I'm kinda' hoping he doesn't.

Wow, actually this is ... very fitting!! in my theory i made, i had some parts a bit different from your theory but.. it does give me the feeling we are thinking almost on the same option and it might be true.. Bella's background story is definitely the most intriguing one..

the only thing that does not sit perfectly is the nursery room (i can understand it but)... when the MC is dropping to the ground to peek under the door you can see Military (or some sort of) Boots, really close to the door entrance the main speculation is that it's her husband's military boots..

Not sure if this is even possible due to patreon.

Could it not be a mixture of both. Isabella's husband could possibly have been killed in action, hence the military boots and why she finds it hard to let go of him and his memory. It is also possible the reason for her hatred of Tybalt is because his father raped her at a time when she was so vulnerable due to her husbands death when he was supposedly comforting her.
There are many possibilities and we will only know when the Dev tells us.

Bella is an Amazonian, after teaching Sage how to fight I was actually worried about if it was a HOT or not, because Camilla is the only other Amazon on campus that could maybe stand up to a fully armed and operational Sage. It's not that she couldn't be raped, that's just hard for me to swallow in my head cannon she's basically Wonder Woman, and umm, not the 1940s version lol.

i like this theroy and i just notice those boots on the 2nd play through on her path. that would also tie in the military guy from eps 1 after you look at the picture when your drunk. Also though in season 1 i get the feeling he was alive just there seperated. in season 2 i get the feeling hes actully dead (just form how she talks in season 2) and hows shes begining to open up and fall in love she talks as if hes not alive anymore but she was holding on to the past and to her they were still married. But as by the end of eps 8 she does say she is working on removing the ring and does want a relationship with the MC and does give some insite as to why she does still wear the ring just not all of it (also im sure she wears it couse of the douch bag husband of the other teacher that wont leave her alone as she seys "unwanted" attention if she removes it)

I seem to remember a scene where you can hear (read) Isabella's thoughts, and she wants James to come back, that it's been three years, and that she's forgiven him. So I don't think James is dead...and honestly I'm a bit nervous that James actually will show back up in Season 3 and make things hard for our boy if you're playing the Isabella route.

But as by the end of eps 8 she does say she is working on removing the ring and does want a relationship with the MC and does give some insite as to why she does still wear the ring just not all of it (also im sure she wears it couse of the douch bag husband of the other teacher that wont leave her alone as she seys "unwanted" attention if she removes it)

Originally, when I was playing the Isabella path, the fact that she didn't remove her ring for the sake of our boy upset me. But you bring up a really good point; considering what a horn-dog Stephen Burke is, and how Isabella is a constant target of interest for him (at least the man has good taste), it's easier to understand why the ring doesn't leave her finger. If it helps to push away Stephen, I can better understand how our boy is cool with her still wearing it.

Doesnt Bella herself mention why she keeps wearing the ring?

She does, but honestly I don't remember what all she said because at the time it sounded more like an excuse than anything else. I was really wanting to see that ring go away...

[R4MPZY]

I think it was to avoid unwanted attention... Not that it helped much :P

bella gives 2 resons why she does still wear it though i dont and its pretty clear theres more to it as she side steps the question about her husband and gives him the 2 reasons below.

yes her reason was habbit (shes worn it for 10? 11?+ years) its just a habbit to put it on after all this time. 2nd reason was to avoid unwanted attention for now. But she will work on not wearing it

thats pretty much direct from the sceen (with the exception of the time frame) that is said

I feel like a predator pursuing Bella, and I will not be playing that path again, I do have an end save, I don't know if I will pick it up in S3.

Basically you kiss her, she kisses you back (not a completely unnatural reaction in my experience), and then tells you she's married. That stopped my on my first playthrough, then I played through hers and you are overcoming some resistance...not for me thanks.

at this point she may or may not be married - as no info on her husband is given other then its been more then 3 years since he eaither died or left sooo technicly shes not completly married still xD as she could have the marriage annuled witht he fact hes been gone for 3 years xD

but bella is very loyal and clossed herself off over that time (i get where your comming from though but its not as bad as it sounds xD though i guess it depends on how you take the story lol)

It could be she is really into S&M and that's her "dungeon" room. She locks the door so if anyone comes over they can't accidentally walk in the room. Mistress Bella the Ice Queen.

She does show signs of being very dominate during the intimate scene with the MC. She might be into the whole "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me" thing.
