Thanks! ^_^ When I first came across the idea that Bella is somehow linked to Magic Town in Sims 1, I thought it was really interesting, too. It makes sense in the spooky Goth family.
I'm working with the idea that Bella was never entirely aware of it, I think. Jocasta left Belladonna Cove when she met Simis and raised her family elsewhere, because she didn't want him drawn into the conplexities of witchy politics. She kept some connections to the secular Cordial family, but after a while, but after a while, they drifted apart. Jocasta only goes back to her practise when the sisters really need her. I'll give some details about that in the next update.
I think I saw that photo. You posted it separately in your journal, right? I really love all the recreations and re-imagining you've done for the Maxis characters in your story. It's a lot of fun. You strike a nice balance between faithfulness to the source material and putting your own spin on things, in that the former is never at the expense of the latter.
I really like working within the constraints of the backstories, but only to a point. It's a fun challenge to explain what's given to us in the game, but also fun to add connections that EAxis never even thought to include (or couldn't, because they'd need to be between hoods that came with different EPS).
