If a sibling-having Bell died in the standard car accident, her sibling(s) would of course be devastated, I'm not sure what other detail you're looking for.

more or less what they would do with their lives without a Bell that can take them to multidimensional parties, or even if they would die in the accident too, or maybe if they are likely to find the necronomicon and ressurect Bella as a zombie by accident.

The accident involves an out-of-control van hitting a pedestrian Bella in a parking lot and her later dying in the hospital; it would not usually include either sibling as a fellow victim. I might let them find resurrection abilities - if both siblings were around Soph would find it and tell the Alex, and Alex would be the one to decide to go ahead and fetch up Bella, but both of those roles could be filled by a singular sibling on their own. If I didn't give them a necronomicon or similar, I think the Alex would grow up to be some kind of relatively practical-career-oriented artist - something like a wedding photographer - and a Soph might go into journalism.

Journalism? I little more "political" than I would've imagined but I didn't have any solid guesses, wedding photographer fits Alex ^.^
Hey, Amariah/Ice are my favorites, but I can't tell why, any guesses what make them different from the other Bells?

Hmm, if those are the only ones that you like that much I'm not sure - do you like any others particularly much?

I guess-ish "first place" sort of stands out more... I am mostly wondering if you are aware of a particular Amariah/Ice trait that is unique or pronounced to make them distinct.
I like Shell Bell, Kiri, T'Mir and Juliet, possible for the same reasons that I like Amariah/Ice. I like the
take on Angela and Aegis as examples of the Bell template, but because they are outliner-ish. I sort of like the Campbells too, but that is probably leftover residue from Daniel Sharman role in Teen Wolf (also Daniel Sharman face).

All the Bells have their own traits, some more than others, but if I had to describe what makes Ama(Dreamer) and Ice in particular different from the rest of the peal I'd go with something like... "they're witches"... which is obvious. If you'd said your other favorite was Revelation I'd think you liked self-contained Bells who carry much of their intrinsic ability-to-do-things around with them no matter what else is going on. If you'd said Angela and Kiri and hadn't listed some of those others, I'd think you liked ones who knew from earliest childhood that they had the wherewithal to do something special. If you'd said you liked Katie I'd think you liked ones who weren't human but lived among humans. There are so many ways for Bells to vary.

Actually that is very insightful already :D
I know that my two candidates are witches and all, but I don't think it was directly that, but the consequences of that. They are aware since childhood that they can do great things with their special abilities that are intrinsic to themselves. This might be just how I perceive the two, but maybe they are (when compared to Bell standard) somehow more content and generous? They have a more straightforward avenue to whatever problems they want solving. They aren't culturally pressured to get rich. They are immortal so solving that problem for others is less urgent and desperate.
I think I didn't realize this due to shipping feelings, but I like how their first interactions with Kas and Cypress due to generally being helpful. I don't think the other Bells would be as likely to help? Or at least there would be some backgrounds elements influencing it.
I actually like Cam the wizard. I don't dislike revelation... I am just dissapointed that he and Adana aren't smarter.

In a universe where there is both a Bell, Alex and a Soph and they live in the Forks house, or stay there during holidays, where do the Sophs sleep? Do they get their own room, or do all three siblings stay in the same room?
On that note. In the normal background with Renee and Charlie divorcing a year or so after the Bell being born, how does that fit in a Soph? Would you just adjust the timeline for them to split after the Soph birth? Is this what happened in Sunshine?
(Eee I wasn't really sure where to pose these questions. Figured it might be okay here coz it relates to the Soph template)

In a three-kids universe, Renée would choose a different house in Phoenix when she left, with another room (the twins share if they're all the same sex; if one is a different sex from the other two then the same-sex sibling share). Charlie would keep his usual house and the Soph would sleep on the couch while the twins shared when they were over for summers (there would be a mattress on the floor of the kids' bedroom offered, but it would just be too crowded and the Soph would be the first to bow out every time). Renée and Charlie don't break up instantly after having their firstborn; there is enough time for a Soph had in very short order to sneak in before Renée leaves, which is why the Key spell was able to give Juliet a Soph instead of having to finagle an Alex.
