Agree. Ocean's making a good job. Bella is changing, slowly, feels like in real time,natural. From a crazy bitch to a bitchy sweety (she has more of that bitchiness in her). Her mother is an interesting character too. Hell, all girls are beautiful in Ocean's world. Even the side characters.. Bella had an unfair advantage; she was first. And people had noticed her immediately. The last scene of v4.5 was beautiful.
Hillside's Suzy has some traits like Bella. We don't know she well enough, but I think I'm right.
Another their common trait, they both are very easy to catch, just show a little doubt about the perfection of their breasts.
Hannah sends Suzi's boobs to MC. Suzy is all like "Hannah, this is the worst thing you'll ever done!!!" MC: "If I ignore her, maybe she'll go away". Suzy: "Why hasn't he replied? Who does he think he is? Does he realize how lucky he is to get a photo of me?".
Bella laughs at Karen's curvy body. MC: "Objectively, she has a very attractive body." Bella keeps bitching about how fat and old Karen is and how disgusted she is. MC: "Compared to her, you're flat chested and cursed with an attitude." Bella: "I'm not flat chested, mine are perky double D's, I'm the top!". MC: "Hers are still bigger."
It took only a tiny step from indifference to obsession.
