Bella Antonelli was born 22 years ago in the city of Hathian to BeBe Pink and Chase Antonelli. Shortly after she was born, her father was allegedly killed. Bella's mother, BeBe, sent her off to foster care at an early age, more for protection than anything else, as it was horrific for Bella. She was given the name Rippen by her foster father, because of her firey temper as a child. At the age of 7, BeBe filed for return custody of Rippen and she was returned to the care of her mother, who at that time, was married to Deaf. Deaf was Rippen's first step-father, and the one she adored most of all. She was also very fond of her uncles, Disembodied Hand, Alco, and Miguel Klein. Rippen had a steady string of step fathers through her life, but one thing always remained the same. Her mother and her "brother from another mother" Chance. Chance was fostered into the family when Rippen was around 8, and they grew up together, as brother and sister. Rippen also has several half sisters, Nazia, Aribelle and Anika. Rippen would meet a little boy named Steel Dagger when she was 9. They grew up together, became best friends, protected and defended each other and were inseparable. At the age of 15, they fell in love, and at 18, were married. Rippen would become pregnant at 19 and give birth to twins... Bella Dagger and Tanken Dagger. Rippen would soon meet her half brother, Jareth, who is the son of Chase Antonelli. They quickly became close, and shortly after that, Jareth was sent overseas to work for their father. Rippen hasnt seen him since.
Shortly after the twins were born, Rippen and Steel travelled to Japan to visit her grandfather. While in Japan, Steel was murdered defending his family against a Yakuza attack, and Rippen was heart broken. She left her children in the care of her grandfather, and returned to the states to bury her husband in the Hathian Cemetary. The loss was too much for Rippen to bear, and she left Hathian to travel about the country, playing music in a band, drinking and doing drugs, simply existing. She would eventually return to Hathian, and meet her mother again. Rippen was told by BeBe that her father, Chase, was not, in fact, dead. He had been in hiding for most of Rippen's life, to protect his family from the people that meant to kill him. Now, he was back, and has become the city's most notorious narcotics dealer. BeBe was now leader of The Rejects, and Rippen, with her raging cocaine and heroin habit, is trying to survive. Rippen and BeBe would have a falling out, of sorts. The two would square off, fighting constantly, bickering incessantly. The way two people do when they love each other more than anything in the world, but dont see eye to eye.
Today, Rippen is a Guardian in the Cerberus gang, which is a rival of The Rejects. Her cocaine and heroin habits are still making life liveable, her children's whereabouts are unknown, however they were last known with her Grandfather in Japan. Her mother, BeBe, passed away last week, unknown to Rippen as of this day. Will Rippen survive this latest loss? Will she carry on, and survive the way she always has? Will she ever amount to anything or simply fade away into the gutters and dumpsters of Hathian?
