Other characters played at Passing: N/A
Character name: Belle/Beauty
Character fandom: Beauty and the Beast
Version: One!
Canon point: After she saddles up Phillipe and leaves the castle to save her father.
Importing development from old game? N/A
Background: Here's the plot for the movie.
Changes from canon, if AU: N/A
Personality: Belle is certainly no push-over, but she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. When she is at ease with someone (as seen later on in the movie), she has no problem sharing her interests and even laughing at bit at the expense of others (or herself). Yet, when she is uncomfortable or even annoyed by someone, her kindness melts away. In fact, she can be quite tempestuous when the wrong strings are pulled. For example, Gaston seems to consistently put his foot in his mouth when he is around her; Belle will have none of it. She even lies to him in order to get rid of him - something I'm sure she doesn't like doing with anyone else (including the Beast).
After she meets the Beast, Belle displays that not only can she hold her own with his roaring (thanks to her tempestuous side) but that she can also succumb (quite easily) to the temptation of her own curiosity. The last attribute is the one that gets her into trouble. Simply put, she will not follow the rules or abide by the wishes of her captor/host.
Yet, I think her rebellious actions can be blamed more on her need for adventure and less on her desire to upset the Beast. Belle is quite the dreamer, after all. She can't stand to not know what's behind a door or hidden away in a forest. Occasionally, she loses her common sense in pursuit of an adventure that she has longed for since she was a child.
After Cupid's arrow meets its mark, however, Belle begins to realize how her curiosity might hurt the Beast. She makes a concerted effort to think about his feelings before doing anything. In that way, the pair seem to mature together. The dreamy, doe-eyed girl that Belle used to be is a figment of the past when she is around Beast. He becomes everything she ever dreamed about and it isn't long before she understands that she truly loves him.
Abilities: Belle is intelligent, witty and empathetic when it comes to interacting with others. She is also quite loyal - especially when it comes to family/friends (the line between the two often overlaps in her case). Additionally, she is well-read (at least when it comes to French literature) and well-versed in etiquette. (I like to think she learned her etiquette from her mother, but I have no canon proof of that.)
She does not have any weapons on her. In fact, the only thing in her bag is Beast's mirror and...Chip. But she doesn't know he's there. (Mods, would it possible to just...pretend he's not in her bag? NPCing him feels wrong.)
Weaknesses: Belle is not physically strong. She would definitely lose if she was in a fight. However, that does not mean that she wouldn't try her best. She certainly would.
Mentally, Belle is very strong. Even when she feels guilty or uneasy, she knows what's right and what's wrong and she will strive to do what's right every single time (even if it pains her).
Writing sample: Leaving the comfort of the castle wasn't easy. The Beast's cry spurred Phillipe on, but it made her heart ache. She wanted to go back to him. Entering a frosty forest was not appealing, yet her father needed her. Need trumped want every single time, especially when it concerned her family.
Reining in the Clydesdale, she bit her lip and looked around desperately.
"Papa!" she called, cupping her hands around her mouth, "Papa, I'm coming!"
I won't let you die! N-Not for me.
Grabbing onto Phillipe's reins again, Belle urged him forward. However, when the horse took one shaky step forward, Belle felt a strange tug. Suddenly, she was not on Phillipe's back or in the snow white forest. Shaking, she rose to her feet and pushed her cloak back.
"Phillipe?"
Even as she called for him, she knew it was pointless. He wasn't here. Smoothing down her skirt, Belle frowned pensively, trying to get a grip on things. Maybe she was dreaming? Maybe she had hit her head and -
"Hello?" her voice broke, "Papa..."
She had to wake up! If she didn't... Her heart sunk.
No. Don't you dare give up! She chastised herself, beginning to pace.
Voice sample: Phillipe? {Belle's voice wavers as if she is close to tears.} Where did you take us, boy? This isn't what I saw at all. Where is...the snow?
{She gasps when she bumps the recorder.} What is this? {Lifting it up, she brushes it off and pauses. This tiny device reminds her so much of her father. Exhaling shakily, Belle holds the recorder to her chest.}
Can anyone hear me? Please! My father won't make it if I don't find him soon! {If the listener has keen hearing, they might notice that her heart is beating faster.} He c-came to rescue me. I can't leave him like that. I w-won't.
