Here is a list of Bells I can do independent of their other-moiety contexts and are therefore easy to sandbox with just me and not kappa/Aestrix/whoever:
Shell Bell up to age 17, especially easy to encounter in Milliways.
Amariah up to age 19, still studying magic with Metis.
Golden up to the year 2042 (or maybe a little later if I push it) in strict Flashes continuity, with or without Elspeth having previously found Milliways.
Angela is available in a purple-less variation even after the point where in Effulgence she met Micaiah, though I don't have a green alternate angelico for her if we get to the end of Linus's tenure and she's Archangel.
Juliet (or rather, Slayer Bella) is available detached and recently called, with or without having-always-had Soph; several sandboxes include detached Slayer Bella.
Glass is available up to the point where she met the princesses, or beyond in an extrapolated future.
Aether is available at any point in her purple-free-variant early college years.
Ace is available detached up to age 15.
I could probably run an alternate Chi but it requires coauthors agreeing on particularly noncanonical worldbuilding extrapolation up to her era or not having the other party's characters be from the same world as her.
T'Mir is available up to the point where she met Lalita, or in an extrapolated future (much of which would be spent as a political prisoner, with nobody to bust her out, but if you wanted her that way for some reason).
Nicknameless Phaetonbell is available up to the point where she met Sherlock.
I could run a variant of Eve who had to take over Narnia solo (or with a different co-ruler), up to age 25, or when Narnia has spat her out afterwards and she's sidereally/physically between the ages of ten and late teens.
Cymbeline is available up to when he met Jade.
Aya is available up until when she met Aelare (Effulgence) or fell into the magic (Incandescence), or in an extrapolated future up to age ~24.
Maurabel is available at any point in her university education with an alternate stable of non-purple elementals in the uni collection.
Clarity is available up to the point at which she moves to Ponyville.
Rapunzel is available up to the point at which she meets Rolan, or an extrapolated Rolan-less future up to let's say age ~20.
Linya is available up until age 18.
I can run a vaguely-timelined Lorica during her tenure as a Ward.
Promise is available at a youngish age (I've been having her be twelve in sandboxes).
Katydid is available up until the point at which she met Nataliem.
Phix is available in an alternate universe where faun!Angela instead of Darren told her things about critters and showed her the Avalon when she turned. I can probably extrapolate her all the way through college.
Revelation/Demon Cam is of course available to be summoned any which where.
I can run Flicker in a blue-less AU, up to the Yellowstone disaster or in a setting that omits it up to college.
A blue-less Annie probably isn't very interesting but I could write one.
Shara's available up to the adventure on which she met her Adarin.
Mira's available up to shortly after her dad's remarriage, if we replace the royal family with someone else's characters.
There is a future Incandescent Bell who I could run without blue-moiety context but would need other special consideration; details on request.
This backstory-slimming makes it possible to run sandboxes that stay relatively self-contained rather than ballooning to three authors or more. If you have characters who could natively coexist in a world with one of the above Bells, use or encounter dimension-hopping magic (including that normally associated with Promise's or Revelation's worlds), or who might find a door to Milliways, it can happen. Talk to me :)
