dooming someone to move to their small town wouldn’t normally be a thing she bragged about but kevin was at least cool. he made the town a little more bearable, a little less lonely “so —” she started, the corners of her mouth almost tugging their way into a smile. “you’ve lived here longer than any of my relationships. what’s the verdict? it’s as boring as i made it sound right?”

with furrowed brows, dark brown eyes looked over to confirm what the corners of her eyes noticed. short platinum blonde hair? yep, it was oliver. the mayors son probably wasn’t the best person to pick to hold a grudge against but in bella’s eyes, none of this was her fault. “the old design looked way better. this looks like shit.”

“too bad you can’t just google shit on the job. just another reason why comp sci will always be the best degree!” she bragged, looking over to the bartender in an attempt to hail them down. “i'm buying us both a shot. today i spent an hour trying to figure out a bug in my code. turns out it was one fucking squiggly bracket. i want one.”

“People say when you start working out in the field as a nurse officially, you’ll be less afraid. I’ve worked as a nurse now for at least a few months and I’m still scared to death of making a mistake. So to whoever said that, you’re absolutely full of shit. Times like this are when you need tequila and a lime.”

trying to support local business, bella found herself at pierre’s. sure, they may not be able to compare to the wide selection of superstore but this choice helped out their small town economy. absentmindedly, her hands danced across a set of jars. bella hadn’t even noticed that one was about to tip over until a worker rushed over. “oh—” she breathed out at the same time penelope spoke. “my bad. has anyone ever even bought one of these jars? would take some serious bad breath to warrant the purchase.”

Penelope had been inspecting some new items before setting them out on the counter for this week’s sale when she noticed someone reaching for a jar of peppermints, precariously balancing them. Her heart clenched in her chest, noticing as it wobbled, then quickly rushed to help, hoping to avoid another shattered glass jar on her watch this week.

“Oh! Let me help you with that!” she said, quickly rushing over and helping them balance the enormous jar and breathing a sigh of relief.

the mines weren’t her favourite place to go. even standing beyond entrance was too dark. too cold. too unknown. she was here for one purpose only and had planned on leaving soon after its delivery. “cleaned out the attic today,” she started, her eyes looking down at the glass tupperware that sat in her hands. “found of my grandma’s recipe books. did she makes these brownies for you too? i figured she would have. i made a batch for you.”

hey all! i'm ellie and i’ll be writing my lil sad comp sci nerd, bella! i haven’t been in the rp community for... awhile... so i apologize if i'm a little rusty. also a quick disclaimer... i’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to computer science. i’m fairly decent with html but know nOTHING when it comes to java, python and anything else. but i'm going to do my best! you can read below if you wanna get to know her a little better. i LOVE plotting so plEASE im so we can get our little babs writing together! you can also like this post and i’ll message you. i'm going to start reading everyone else intro posts now. can't wait to get to know all of you!

disclaimer: bella is very very loosely based on abigail from stardew valley. TLDR:

bella grew up primarily in stardew valley. she left the city for four years during her undergrad and graduated with a comp sci degree three years ago.

she’s a programmer ( hit her up fix your printer :-) she’ll only be somewhat annoyed. ) and doesn’t have a lot of professional experience. this basically means she’s a little worker monkey for software developers.

she has depression but he refuses to acknowledge it.

she’s pretty pessimistic and definitely isn't the easiest to get along with it. 54% of the time she’s sad. 54% of the time she’s angry and about 2% of the time she’s content.

MORE INFO:

bella was born to carol & philip romana in the city.

bella’s mother and father separated when she was just five years old.

bella father is CTO ( chief of technology ) of an oil & gas company in the city and after a three year affair her mother eventually learned that her father’s business trips were actually visits to see his second family, his girlfriend and the child they now had together.

bella’s parents tried to work things out but after 6 short months bella and her mother left. they moved back in with bella’s widowed grandmother in stardew valley.

despite having an empty resume since her wedding day, bella’s mother managed to get a job at jojomarket.

rather than being educated by the local tutor, bella was home schooled online. despite being primarily raised in the valley she felt like an outsider. she hated the small town she was bound to.

despite only living an hour away, bella didn’t have much contact with her father. he was always consistent when it came to material things though and never once did he forget to send her a gift for christmas or her birthday. sadly, no card was to be found in the wrapping paper and honestly, all bella wanted to read was an “i love you” from her father.

fitting to a CTO, many of these gifts were the latest tech and this what began her deep interest in coding.

bella has always blamed her father’s leaving for the reason her personality is so sad. she hates her father. sadly, she and her father are eerily similar. though she will never know this.

when bella was eighteen years old she left stardew valley for the first time since her childhood. the reason for this departure? university.

bella attended university in the city and majored in computer science. her education was paid for by her estranged father.

in the city she lived with five roommates in a home that was meant to hold only three.

after just her first year of university, bella had planned on staying in the city. sure, living in the city was expensive even with five roommates but her naivety and greed for more than just a small town life outweighed the reality of her situation.

only a few days after celebrating the completion of her last class. her grandmother passed.

bella had known that her grandmother was sick but the death crept up on the small family and left her mother distraught. unable to handle the pain bella’s mother decided she would stay in the city for a couple weeks with a friend and bella would stay in stardew valley to look over the house. a funeral would be held once her mother was in a better place.

months went by and bella started to realize how much she enjoyed the independence of living alone. no roommates. no family. alone.

finally, a funeral was held. it was a small service and considering her grandmother was only survived by a single child and was not close with her other family members it was mainly towns people that came to say their goodbyes.

after the funeral bella’s mother told her that she would not be returning to stardew valley and gave her two choices: bella could move back to the city if she so chose or she could stay in stardew valley, rent free and they would sell her grandmothers home at a later date.

bella chose the ladder. she told herself that she would only be staying in stardew valley for a year at the most but three years have now passed and she still lives rent free in the home of her late grandmother. her four walls feel deafening lonely but the fear of failing in the city are keeping her from making the big move.

since bella was a child her mother had been her best friend. bella’s mother is currently rebuilding her life in the city and due to this has been very busy over the past few years. bella hasn’t spoken to her mother in half a year and the last time they spoke they got into a fight over cardboard boxes.

currently bella is working as a freelance programmer and building up her portfolio. she hates stardew valley. she wants more. but she can’t work up the courage to be brave and achieve it.

for work bella mainly writes codes for apps that will inventible fail and accidentally spends a lot of time helping out the other towns people with mundane tech problems.

due to bella’s shy nature and sorrow filled soul, she doesn’t have many friends and is seen as quite pessimistic when compared to others.

after the death of her grandmother and the quick departure of her mother bella has developed major depressive disorder. actually, her lack of courage to move on from stardew valley has nothing to do with courage at all. her depression has left with a lack of motivation and is also the reason she spends most of her time indoors either playing games, listening to music or studying code.

bella is anything but self aware and hasn’t realized she’s her depression is more than just her personality. it’s a mental illness. being a crestfallen individual she passes her sorrow off as just being a part of who she is.

”this loneliness is killing me.”       It’s a mantra she whispers to herself almost each night. It wasn’t always this way. She wasn’t always so lonely. Wasn’t always so alone. She had been the first born child. She was supposed to be the eldest sibling. She was supposed to have siblings. She wasn’t supposed to be alone. She had been born in a large city. Full of people ; never alone. It was her father that ripped this life away from her when she was only a child, and so, she never stopped blaming him for suffocating loneliness. It’s his fault.

”my mind is eating me alive ——”        Admittedly she wasn’t always the happiest kid, but at least then she wasn’t so sad ; she wasn’t so angry. These emotions practically consume her now. She feels as though whatever created her made her flat. That the emotions she can properly display are full of pessimism and self pity. A few have suggested depression could be the cause but she doesn’t have time to have depression. She’s trying to be worth something. She’d never say outlaid but she thinks she’s pretty fucking good at reading other people. At least she’s got that going for her.

”I need time — !!”        In truth, the town does more for her than she’ll ever do for them but she lacks the self awareness to ever be able to realize this. Most of the work she does is for companies that are based outside of stardew. Within the town all she’s actually done is repair a couple printers and fix the wifi when older residents don’t realize their router has been unplugged.

pinterest is the social media account that bella uses the least. she mostly just uses the site when she's extremely bored and has already gotten sick of listening to music or playing games. most of her followers are either bots or people who followed her for a follow back. a small amount of her followers are people who also interested in coding. bella uses the site to pins whatever she thinks are interesting as a way to safe life hacks when it comes to coding ( which she inevitably forgets about and just googles anything she needs instead. )  she has also posted a few photos of herself onto the website, mostly because she’s filled up all the hard drives she owns.
