Belle

Princess Beauty

Background

“Now, it's no wonder that her name means 'beauty'
Her looks have got no parallel.
But behind that fair façade,
I'm afraid she's rather odd
very different from the rest of us...
She's nothing like the rest of us,
Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle!”

Belle is the daughter of Maurice; an inventor who reside in a small village in France and an unnamed mother who died not a long time after of the plague that attacked the village in the 1700s. She lives in a cottage in the small village in France.

Growing up, Belle always has been fascinating by her father's invention and the stories he was telling him except he never talk about her mother, It was a subject that was hurting him. At a young age, Belle discover that she loves books. She could spend hours reading about it and dreaming about the most princesses's story such as finding the true love. The townsfolk labelled her as outcast because she was diffrent than any other ladies. Belle always has been interesting adventure. Though, she didn't know that her wish would come true when she took her father's place to save his life. The castle on Philippe was immense and quiet when the beast wasn't yelling and getting angry. During her hostage in the castle, she met Lumière, Chip, Mrs Potts and many others furniture and object were coming to life.

At first, the beast was distant, angry and she was mad and angry at him to the point that she decided to not eat until Lumière prepare for her a special festin for her since she was a guest.

Showing some compassion, the beast open the enormous library filled with books that could open her imagination to another world.

Not wanting to be around the beast, she spent most of her time in the library reading books until she found a magical book that could teleport her, open a portal to a new place. She has been trying to find a place to leave but every time she was trying, the beast found her and lock her. There was no good in him only the beast remains. She has tried to see good in him and it work for a while until the beast came back.

Locked in the dungeon, Belle took the enchanted book she has found and hidden under a broken brick. She continue to read until she found an incantation. Something called the magic beans.

She didn't told of her plan or anything but waited for when she was released and when the beast was sleeping to ran away with only a bag filled with the book she needs it and food to survive.

She spend days, weeks, maybe traveling and searching what she was looking for. It took her month until she found the magic beans.

But just as she was about to get her book, a loud growl could be heard from behind her, then someone grab her. She turns to see the beast. Fearing for the worse, she pushed him away, throwing the magic beans on the ground. She didn't really know what it'll do but she had to run away. It was then that a portal open. She looks behind her only to see the beast who was walking faster towards her, then without a second thought, she jump into the open hole and it close.

A second after, she fell from the sky, hitting the back of her head before everything went black.

She stayed on the ground for a couple of minute before she opens her eyes, looking around.

Where was she ? This -- this wasn't her home.. It didn't look like the 1700s.

Belle's personnality
Belle has gained a significant amount of intelligence over the years due to her love of books, which provided her with an elevated vocabulary, an active imagination, and an open mind. She is very confident and outspoken in her opinions and seldom likes being told what to do. Despite all this, she doesn't have very many friends. Her smarts and free-thinking attitude make her stand out from her fellow townspeople, who regard her as a little odd behind her beauty. Belle appears less concerned about her or others' appearances and is able to look past appearances into their personality. Belle willingly listens to, takes advice from, and admires her father Maurice since, throughout most of her life, he's the only person who has believed in her unconditionally. She also considers the opinions and directions of the Beast, because, like Maurice, he is able to treat her as an equal (the Beast eventually learned how throughout the course of the film). Belle also seemed to have a good relationship with the bookseller, presumably because of his encouraging her to pursue her love of literature.

She is quite resolute when it comes to stating and upholding her opinions and maintaining her ideas. Even though Belle says that she dreams of adventure, she also states that she wishes for a friend who accepts her for who she is. This is because everyone in town criticizes her for doing her own thing and can't understand her, which makes her feel like she can't fit in. However, despite this, even when people give her a hard time, she never changes but comes to a better understanding of herself.

Physical apparence
Belle is known throughout the village for her beauty, with one villager commenting that it has no parallel, but although she knows it, she isn't vain or concerned about her looks. Belle has long, brown hair, most often tied back in a low ponytail with a blue ribbon, and possesses captivating hazel eyes, full pink lips, rosy cheeks, a heart-shaped face, and a sculpted figure. One of her more distinct features are the strands of hair that are constantly slipping loose from her ponytail and falling in front of her face - she is often seen brushing them back into place when nervous or trying to be polite.

Abilities
Peak-Human Agility: Belle displays a few notable athletic abilities despite having spent her life in the village. She is able to ride her horse Philippe at quite stunning speeds with ease and skill, such as in the Black Forest when she managed to outrun the wolves for a time and even causing one wolf to veer into a tree. During the opening song, while reading her new book, she also managed to effortlessly sweep aside a water downpour from gutters that was about to hit her, deflecting it onto a nearby signpost, all without even looking up from her book, implying that she was keenly aware of her surroundings.
Peak-Human Strength: Despite her slim figure, Belle seems to have considerable strength. She may have lifted the Beast, as evidenced by the Beast being placed onto Philippe's back, although this was never shown on-screen. Later on, she was able to pull the Beast up onto a balcony. In addition, she also was revealed to have rescued her father from the elements and presumably place him onto Philippe while he was still unconscious. Both the Beast and Maurice are each presumed to weigh considerably more than Belle, making her rescue of them quite a feat.
Peak-Human Stamina: Belle also appears to have tireless reserves of stamina and considerable resilience to cold likely due to her young age, able to survive fording icy water for a short period of time (in Enchanted Christmas she proved to be a capable swimmer when she rescued Chip), and she is able to walk back to the castle having given her cloak and Philippe over to the injured Beast after the wolves were driven off. In the Marvel Comics serial, she even managed to withstand the cold long enough to tell Chip about how she and her father went to the fair and won the first prize before passing out just as Beast ultimately managed to trace her location via holly bushels hitting him when she let go of them.
She has an interest into the magic.
She has some abilities and power that she never knew about
