In the Darkwing AU version, Bela is Bentina Beakley's daughter (and posteriorly Morgana Macawber's too) and Drake Mallard's childhood friend.

Despite her sweet, cheerful and polite act, Bela is actually pretty manipulative and distrustful deep down. But once she has inevitably warmed up to someone, the fear of losing them brings her to be overprotective of them to the point of being straight up threatening to any outsider she thinks might do any harm and/or forgetting her own self-preservation instincts and all common sense.

If it was up to her, Bela would rather live a quiet and uneventful life, without all the heroics and drama happening at every corner. But given that it's literally impossible to avoid chaos in St Canard and how tangled up in the mess her whole family and friends are every time, she's extremely aware she'll keep spending countless nights looking after her loved ones while they fight the neverending list of supervillains and crooks across the dark streets for many years.

DAY 2: BACKSTORY

As far as Bela can remember, she always had been at the orphanage. A couple of families came and went but she always ended up back there eventually, which gave her quite a bit of a bad reputation between both kids and adults.

Until the day she ran away for a night, literally falling from the sky into the arms of a very surprised Agent 22, and accidentally got tangled up in a FOWL plan. By the end of the mission, it was clear that SHUSH would have to make the kid disappear from FOWL's radar just in case they wrongly assumed she had useful information, to which the agent responded with volunteering to keep Bela and move to St. Canard to keep a low profile for a while.

DAY 3: DESIGN DETAILS

Bela's bangs are always tied up behind her head, either in a small ponytail or with a big bow (which always contains a tracker just in case)

In the early years, her clothes are always classy and her hair curled and pretty, but as time passes she starts chopping it short and favoring more comfortable and hard to grab clothes, complemented with small bags to carry supplies. Her colors are usually soft oranges with the occasional green and pink.

Her hair is naturally as white as the rest of her feathers, but she loves to experiment with hair dye and as an adult she's rarely seen with her natural color, favoring blonde over it. She also starts wearing two golden rings, one at each hand, both full of gadgets and small tools, and an enchanted red necklace for protection, courtesy of Morgana.
