Meeting X-23

Bellona appears to be one of the driving forces behind the Sisters' rampage against Alchemax Genetics, and at times seems only nominally under Zelda's control. However she cares deeply for her sisters, and like Zelda took great pains to protect Gabby from the worst of their treatment at Alchemax's hands.

Her first instinct in most situations is to just shoot it, and it took her the longest to begin trusting Laura of any of the Sisters.

She, along with the other Sisters, made a deal with Kimura to destroy Alchemax Genetics in exchange for her aid in their escape, and providing them with weapons and equipment. At least part of the agreement led Bellona to remand herself to Kimura's custody to allow Gabby to go free after the mission was completed.

Powers & Abilities

Bellona lacks the same healing factor as X-23 and Wolverine but lacks the ability to feel pain due to the experiments conducted by Alchemax. She is also highly-skilled in various forms of combat.

Bellona utilized a variety of weapons, however she often appeared to favor a pair of serrated combat knives. At some point after surrendering to Kimura, she had a pair of adamantium claws implanted in each hand in the same arrangement as Laura's. They were utilized as a contingency for Kimura's plot in Daylesville, allowing Bellona to frame Laura for the killings after she stabbed herself in the head to prevent the trigger scent from driving her to massacre the population.
