Bella is a refugee from one of the violent insect tribes of the wild islands. Did you know that the transformation from nymph or worker or whatever to Queen is one purely of nutrition? Eat too well, and a bee will become fertile when they really have no right to be. Bella is halfway through that process and frankly doesn't really want to complete it, so she's very careful to watch her diet because of it. In the case of Beefolk, it also involves keeping track of her magical intact as well. She's with Camellia due to Camellia's specific talents in acquiring things she really has no business acquring, but due to some other debt you might learn of eventually.
Argontel on the other hand is a mystery to everyone on the island. And I do mean everyone. She was found in a bottle in the cellar by Thrund and Camellia when they first moved into the Inn, and had no idea where she had come from, or how she had gotten into the bottle.
