Ramsey plays a fearless blue-haired girl who is extremely adventurous and has two great friends named Frida and David tagging along on her adventures. What makes Hilda a good show is its curious characters, exceptionally matched storytelling animation, friendship, and how sometimes our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses.

Recently Ramsey also did a film. The 2022 movie titled Catherine Called Birdy. in the film Bella plays the character Lady Catherine who is quirky and self-aware enough to see the world through her observant, but also immature eyes.

Presently Bella is playing on the HBO Max show The Last of Us adapted from the original game. She plays the 14-year-old Ellie who is mature, strong, witty, and a little jagged around the edges. Bella plays alongside her co-star Pedro Pascal who plays Joel the resourceful, practical, and emotionally impenetrable older man that helps her along the way. The two actors have a strong bond not only in the show but also in real life. Bella on the show has done an incredible job portraying all kinds of emotion and heart in Elle.
