Anna Bella Monroe is Marcel Ste. Marie's oldest and dearest friend. She is forced to relinquish her time with him as she has come of age to be courted, while Marcel is only a boy of fourteen. Although she loves Marcel dearly and would like nothing more than to become his wife, her appearance too closely resembles that of her African ancestors for his family's taste. In fact, Anna Bella hardly has any friends as many of the young girls comment too much on her looks and her darker skin. Anna Bella tries to wait for Marcel to admit that he wants to be with her. In fact, he often admits it to her but then declines her company.
