Trivia[]

  • Belladonna's reveal may be similar to Ghost Beach when the kids thought that Harrison Sadler was a ghost, but the real ghosts were Sam, Louisa, and Nat.
  • The name Belladonna has two most well-known meanings, both of which seem to apply for the character's traits. The first is in its Italian origin which translates to "beautiful woman" a trait of which seems to apply for the character's appearance. The second is in its use for the plant Atropa belladonna, a plant known otherwise as "deadly nightshade" and known as one of the most toxic plants around, thereby connecting towards the reveal of the character's true intentions.
