POP Belle with rose (Beauty and The Beast)

Belle is the main heroine of the film Beauty and the Beast, a film adaptation of the Disney cartoon, itself inspired by a fairy tale. The tale tells the story of a young prince transformed into a monster by an enchanting creature to whom he refused hospitality. Indeed, one winter evening, an old lady appears in front of the castle and offers him a rose in exchange for shelter. The prince refuses and chases away the old lady, who turns into an enchanting creature and punishes the prince by turning him into a monstrous Beast. She casts a spell on the castle and all its occupants who become talking objects.

Horrified by his appearance, the prince who has become the Beast hides in the depths of his castle. The rose offered by the old lady is actually an enchanted rose. To break the curse, the Beast must learn to love and be loved in return before the last petal falls.

When Belle's father is imprisoned by the Beast for entering the castle without permission, the young woman offers to take his place and become a servant in the castle. Belle is a young woman full of joie de vivre who lives with her father Maurice in a small quiet village in the heart of the French countryside. She is beautiful, intelligent and courageous. She has pretty brown, slightly wavy hair that she often ties up in a ponytail. She loves to read and get lost in the adventures of the stories she finds in the bookshop. The beginnings of her relationship with the Beast are difficult but slowly she will succeed in taming the Beast. They find common points like reading and little by little, Belle falls under the spell of the Beast.
