Introduction

[belle_du_bete]

A young woman enters in a sweep of velvet skirts, closing the door neatly behind her, and looks about with interest. She is dark-haired and quite pretty, richly dressed, with a golden bracelet on one slender wrist.

After a moment, finding nothing in the room that interests her, she turns to go back the way she came, and stops in bewilderment as she opens the door.

This is Beauty, from "Beauty and the Beast". Mostly from the putative original, but with other adaptations in mind. :) Taken from shortly after the end.
