[u][b]Relationships:[/b][/u] 
Gaston - Her husband (deceased)

Her family still lives but she doesn’t dare to see them. Fearful of what could come from such a reunion.

[u][b]Bio:[/b][/u] The youngest of six and what some might consider the fairest. Belle was born to a merchant father, one of bountiful riches.
Falling in debt her father attempted to pay it off but the young beauty soon took his place. Imprisoned by the man her father was in debt to she ended up becoming his servant. There was an odd sensation when she was within his presence, she enjoyed his company in truth, a kind soul despite the exterior everyone judged him by. Was it love or was it just Belle’s caring heart? Did she simply wish to help the weak man?

Alas love was not what it was in the end. Rejected by him she was told to leave the castle and never return. Her family greeted her with open arms as her life carried on. Eventually the fair Belle found her love, Gaston, the son of a well known huntsman. She married the young man and not only was she happy her family was as well.



Jealousy was in the air the day of her wedding, a curse placed on young Gaston. There in front of everyone’s eyes the young huntsman transformed into a hideous beast. All were terrified, fleeing the day that was meant to be special for the two. He ran off and Belle followed, the bouquet of pale pink roses still in her hand. She knew who Gaston truly was, the terrible creature he had become on the outside would not change her mind. She still loved the man, he was her true love was he not? 



Although he wished not to see his wife, Belle insisted she stayed by Gaston’s side. The night of their wedding and the unfortunate events that took place, the two finally settled. Deep within the forest where they could not be seen. Belle clutched her bouquet tightly as she leaned in to give her love a kiss. There was a small prick followed by a sting as she dropped the bouquet, the kiss was broken as she pulled away. The beast looked at her in sadness, but there, right before her eyes Gaston returned to his human self, as if the curse faded away. She grinned with excitement as they held onto each other tightly. 

[i]‘True love can overcome anything.’[/i] 

If only that were the case. Gaston worried after seeing some blood on Belle’s hand, she told him not to worry, the thorns were simply not cleared off all the flowers properly. Picking up the bouquet she showed him, the worry washing off his face. As the two stood up to walk away together Belle winced in pain, dropping the bouquet she looked upon herself. Her body began to change. She reached out and called to Gaston but the man grew fearful as he watched Belle turn into the monster he once was. Their eyes met in brief before Belle’s humanity disappeared from her eyes.



Gaston was never seen again and Belle stayed sheltered within the forest, alone and away from anyone.
