She created a Bela in TAR for her trip to Salidar and willed the mirror image to "live" for as long as she could before she left her behind. After that real life Bela was passed to Siuan.
Cast off like a thing; Bela just kept trucking along throughout the series doing her job without complaint despite neglect and scorn from all she served so faithfully. Until Jordan had Trollocs butcher her right at the end.

Because they had only a strange witchs word they would die, and leaving w/ her was perilous, too.
