In this article i'll be typing about Belle, and yeah...
I'll act like her bodyguard :P

Personality Flaws:

1. Stubborn
When Beast kept telling Belle to eat her dinner, she was so stubborn, no really! If your going to be locked up in a magnificent tower, you should be a bit grateful that you have a wonderful bedroom, library, and the best food in France!







2. Curiosity
Everyone's curiosity is a con AND a flaw, because when Belle first made that big fight with Beast, she went to the FORBIDDEN room! And after all the bickering! Beast could make such loud noises, that's one brave girl!

3. A bit of Over-reacting
Well although you can't really blame her...if I was in her shoes, I would get used to all his anger and run to my bed then cry...well if in cartoons you can make yourself cry on demand...to be honest I don't cry easily!!! (-say that to the sad scene in Dumbo) I don't think it was necessary to run away- I mean she wanted an adventure- you got it.

Pros:

1. She Reads
A lot of kids think books without pictures are boring, and if they read books then only the picture part would be interesting. I think Belle makes reading cool to some kids- or girls. After all she is a DISNEY princess.

P.1
Yeah yeah, she doesn't judge a person by the looks- but i'm tired of the same old excuse. There's more in a person than how deep they are, like how much they care for they're parents. She put her dad first and her friend/husband/boyfriend/prince/beast second. Ariel cares for her dad, but she ran away for a boy! I admit I would cry a lot if I had a dad who alone would wreck everything precious I own, but if she was gonna run away- atleast don't do something as risky as signing a contract with the devil!

P.2-
That wasn't being brave or having courage- that was being a drama queen and making a foolish deal to get what you want, true bravery is taking the risks for the right reasons- not jumping of a...A THOUSAND story building because some kid dared you to.

P.3
Other than Belle's bravery, deepness, and her care, there's also her smartness.
And NO HER SMARTS IS NOT HER READING LEVEL, remember those scenes at "Little Town" when that shack of wood was going to overflow with water when Belle was reading- but just then she dodged it. How smooth was that?
Also after the scene of wolves when Belle and Beast were bickering...remember when Belle made a good comeback quickly? Yeah which brings me to another point- she's uber-smooth.

P.4
AND AGAIN, I always thought that everyone thought that she was weird is probably because...maybe they didn't get the proper education to read. I mean what people think that reading is weird? On my keyboard i'm reading each letter for the screen- not looking up, there's signs everywhere around this word- what else excuse WOULD there be for such a remote control town? Also if Belle had the proper education...she probably is smart with math and science, etc...I mean...her father is an INVENTOR, and I've heard inventors always become famous so they'd want their children to have a good name as well. So Belle probably is smart in subjects.

P.5
The fact that she's got a huge imagination. You get to know a lot about her imagination from books since she reads without pictures and imagines all sorts of things. When I read the Hunger Games I didn't picture anyone because...well...I was too busy reading. And the other fact is that Belle still reads fairytales- NOW THAT'S something that Disney would've created! "Too many people grow up. That's the problem with the world, too many people grow up. They don't know what it feels like to be 12 years old. They treat children as inferiors- well i'm not going to do that." - Walt Disney, and many more of his quotes were about imagination- search it! He always thought that a child's imagination or child itself is why that's the best quality there was! Although Ariel contains this with her fangirl inside, and all these dreams, and I don't think that's very teenage-rish because I was so fangirly when I was little I was so close to being fangirly as it would get...yeah about some boy band. ANYWAYS- I love how much Belle has her head in the clouds! I always thought being stuck on earth was boring, which I'm glad I didn't find in any princesses. Belle dreams big, and I think that's what I like about her most.


P.6
She's a feminist. When everyone else did the same thing and admired a sexist man Belle thought for herself and...rejected him in a kind way. That's another thing I love about her- if I was her I'd probably give Gaston a bloody nose but...that would probably make the entire remote town make a riot against me. She thinks for herself, and she'll always do the right thing, but still make mistakes. She's a feminist and that's what I love in the movies ^.^
_________________________
Now, the overall point of this article was to all you fanpoppers that Belle is NOT perfect, none of the princesses are-
Snow White- Gullible
Aurora- Trusts strangers on looks
Cinderella- Can't stand up for herself
Ariel- Makes bad choices
Belle- Curiosity takes her to the best places and worst
Jasmine- Doesn't ask enough
Mulan-...........is too awesome?
Pocahontas- Doesn't ask enough (I personally don't like John Smith because his lust made him like Pocahontas, i'm glad she chose John Rolf)
Tiana-...um...Doesn't get out much.
Rapunzel- Worries too much.

-So I think Belle is one of the greatest princesses around after Ariel- and I don't see any reasons to hate her much.

P.S Stockholm Syndrome? Beast didn't kidnap him, Belle's father went into the prison- stood by, Belle got sympathy, and after a while Belle became good friends, so Belle wasn't kidnapped, she had a choice. Finally, let's end
this article with a gorgeous picture of Belle as a thanks for reading this article:
Thanks for reading!!!!
