Bella

Bella is one of the many faces that drift through the background of New New York, a small voice in a big crowd rather than a lead player. She turns up for a scene or two, says her piece, and moves on, part of the show's constant hum of passersby, aliens, and eccentrics.

What makes Bella worth noticing is Tress MacNeille's sheer range elsewhere in the cast — she can drop into a one-off character like this and give it a distinct, lived-in voice instantly, no matter how brief the appearance. It's a reminder of how much texture Futurama's world gets from performers who never take the spotlight but always earn it.
