ARABELLA THROUGH THE EYES OF EYEKONS ( katseye dr )
at first glance, ARABELLA comes across as naturally competitive. after all, she was raised in an environment where competition was a constant presence, whether through surfing tournaments in her hometown, pageants, or singing contests. that competitive spirit was especially evident throughout the survival show, where she consistently pushed herself to improve and secure her place. to those unfamiliar with her predebut history, she occasionally came across as a little intimidating or even bitchy, when in reality she was simply determined to achieve her dream. once her motivations and aspirations were brought to light, however, people began to see just how relatable and how sweet and caring she truly is. rather than criticizing her ambition, many found themselves rooting for her success.
now that arabella has officially debuted, her relationship with eyekons is notably warm and genuine. during weverse lives, she makes an effort to interact with fans as much as possible, often offering advice whenever they seek it. her eloquence and thoughtful nature shine through in the way she approaches every conversation, carefully considering different perspectives before sharing her thoughts. while she feels comfortable opening up to fans about many aspects of her life, she still maintains certain boundaries and keeps some things private.
one thing fans particularly enjoy is hearing arabella discuss books and films. she often shares her interpretations and analyses, turning each live into thoughtful discussions with her audience. of course, those conversations can quickly descend into chaos whenever she begins talking about anime. she has even admitted to writing fanfiction about her favorite characters in the past, much to the delight of her fans.
another topic arabella never seems to tire of discussing is genshin impact. in fact, many fans joke that she talks more about the game than she does about herself. her love for the game dates back to 2020, as evidenced by the countless predebut tiktok videos that resurfaced after her debut. among all the characters, one in particular constantly finds his way into her conversations: scaramouche, even stating how he has always been her inspiration. her endless admiration for him earned her the affectionate nickname "scara's wife" among fans, who frequently create tiktok edits pairing the two together, a trend that makes her giggle in joy. to arabella's absolute delight, the developers of the game eventually decided to add her as a character, making one of her biggest dreams come true.
while uncovering arabella's predebut tiktok videos, fans discovered another endearing detail about her. beyond being an avid kpop fan, she had spent years learning korean, not only to better understand her favorite idols' livestreams and content, but also to create subtitles so international fans could enjoy them as well. the discovery only reinforced the image fans already had of her: someone incredibly thoughtful and selfless.
that same kindness became evident after her debut. when yoonchae, who was still learning english at the time, joined the group with arabella, arabella made it her mission to ensure she never felt left out. whether it was translating conversations, explaining jokes, or helping her practice english, arabella was always there to support her. although she shares a close bond with every member, fans often agree that yoonchae is the friend she appears closest to.
she is also particularly close with sophia. being far away from home can be difficult, and having someone who reminds you of home makes everything feel a little easier. meanwhile, manon has become something of an anchor for arabella. the two can discuss absolutely anything, and somehow every conversation ends with them laughing uncontrollably. the same easygoing dynamic extends to megan, lara, and dani as well. more often than not, she also prioritizes their feelings and needs before her own, constantly looking for ways to support and encourage them. which makes fans frequently notice how comfortable the girls are around her, a testament to the trust and affection they share.
one thing eyekons learned very quickly about arabella is that she is an unapologetic hopeless romantic. she would even frequently scream love songs at the top of her lungs in the training room along with the other girls. despite never having been in a relationship herself, she often shares her thoughts on love and encourages fans not to settle for less than they deserve. ironically, however, hiding her own feelings has proven far more difficult than giving relationship advice.
whenever she interacts with someone she admires, her ears turn bright red, her smile stretches from ear to ear, and she dissolves into a giggling mess. fans first noticed this during her interactions with txt and nct, where she struggled to maintain her usual composure. yet perhaps the funniest tell of all is her tendency to avoid eye contact entirely. rather than looking directly at the person she likes, she becomes noticeably jittery and suddenly finds anything else more interesting to look at.
this was most famously displayed during her first interaction with james from cortis. despite being known as one of the friendliest and most approachable people around, arabella spent more time staring at the mirrored walls of the dance room than looking at the person she had quietly rooted for since their trainee days. the moment quickly became legendary among eyekons, who clipped the interaction and continue to tease her about it to this day.
“bella do you remember the time u embarrassed yourself in front of- OKAY ONE MORE COMMENT LIKE THIS AND YALL ARE GETTING BANNED.”
