Bella Bellissima (voiced by Laraine Newman) is an ill-intentioned Italian opera singer. She is the main antagonist of Little Trouble in Big China.
Physical Appearance[]
Bellissima has short, sandy blonde hair styled in an updo. She has a diamond-shaped face, a beauty mark and bronze-colored pushback earrings. Facially, she wears deep purple eye shadow, a dark blush and dark red lipstick.
Bella Bellissima is vain, presumptuous, determined and devious. She often worries about her appearance. She sings off-key, often breaking windows. She describes herself as a talented woman, and goes into a rage when someone denies it, proving that she is also a control freak. She does not hesitate to steal objects or kidnap people to get what she wants for her own business. She shows no respect for her right-hand man, Voldo, who always brings her what she asks for, deeming him incompetent.
Her outfit consists of a long dark purple fur coat which sports a purple leopard print, a padded lapel and padded cuffs. Underneath the coat, she wears a light pink shirt with an s-shaped, golden clasp. Above the coat is a dark purple belt with a round brass buckle. On her hands, she wears a golden ring with a pink pearl. Her riding boots match her outfit but do have a light purple scallop and dark tan soles and heels.
Bella is shown to love her Siamese cats, Siam and Tyham, for their loyalty towards her.
Personality[]
Bellissima is excessively conceited in her personality. Her vain nature is her main trait and shows in multiple instances: refusing to believe she has no talent in singing, kidnapping people for her own personal gain and having an opera house built in the shape of her face are certain examples. She is also shown to be determined to get her way, risking danger for the reward in store. She also goes into an uncontrollable rage if anyone tells her that she is a terrible singer.
Besides herself, the only other individuals she shows affection for are her cats Siam and Tyham who maintain their loyalty for her.
