The enchantress puts a spell on a rose she had carried, saying that it would bloom until the Beast turned twenty-one, at which point it would begin to wilt.

Nearly ten years later, [[Belle]] appears at the [[Beast's castle|castle]], seeking her father, [[Maurice]], who had gone missing. Belle finds her father in the Beast's dungeon, and exchanges her freedom for his. After many days of tension between Belle and the Beast, the two start to grow close to each other. | The enchantress puts a spell on a rose she had carried, saying that it would bloom until the Beast turned twenty-one, at which point it would begin to wilt.

When his request is denied, Beast attacks Riku, but Riku manages to injure the Beast. Sora then loses control of the [[Keyblade]] to Riku, and Donald and Goofy had no choice but to follow Riku due to [[Mickey Mouse|their king]]'s orders to follow the Keyblade master, leaving Sora alone with the Beast. The two briefly explain to each other that they are both looking for someone, before heading into Hollow Bastion as a team; with the Beast being a great asset to Sora, whose combat abilities are weakened without his Keyblade. | When his request is denied, Beast attacks Riku, but Riku manages to injure the Beast.

The Beast is based on his appearance in Walt Disney's 1991 film, ''{{w|Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast}}'', which was in turn inspired by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's ''{{w|Beauty and the Beast|La Belle et la Bête}}'', published in 1756. However, the Beast's character has made various appearances in hundreds of incarnations of the ''Beauty and the Beast'' story. In this adaptation of the story, the Beast starts out as arguably an evil villain, callously imprisoning Belle's father, Maurice, in his dungeon solely for wandering into the castle for help. | The Beast is based on his appearance in Walt Disney's 1991 film, ''{{w|Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast}}'', which was in turn inspired by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's ''{{w|Beauty and the Beast|La Belle et la Bête}}'', published in 1756.

Belle offers to replace Maurice with herself and the Beast accepts. The Beast treats Belle with nothing but contempt at first, and at one point frightens her so much that she attempts to flee the castle, but he realizes his mistake and follows her into the woods to save her from a pack of hungry wolves. After Belle thanks him for saving her by treating his wounds, he returns her kindness by giving her his library as a gift. Following this major change in his behavior, the Beast's inner goodness begins to surface and he also heals his strained friendships with | Belle offers to replace Maurice with herself and the Beast accepts. The Beast treats Belle with nothing but contempt at first, and at one point frightens her so much that she attempts to flee the castle, but he realizes his mistake and follows her into the woods to save her from a pack of hungry wolves. After Belle thanks him for saving her by treating his wounds, he returns her kindness by giving her his library as a gift. Following this major change in his behavior, the Beast's inner goodness begins to surface and he also heals his strained friendships with Lumière and Cogsworth. Eventually, the two fall in love, but as they are on the verge of admitting it, Belle discovers Maurice dying in the woods, having lost his way while searching for the Beast's castle, and the Beast, regretting his previous behavior with the old man, allows Belle to leave to find him, and he admits to Cogsworth that he loves her. Unfortunately, this leads to the simple-minded villagers discovering the Beast's existence, since until then he had been considered a rumor at best, and a rival suitor for Belle, Gaston, leads the villagers to attack the castle and kill the Beast. Gaston finds the Beast, depressed since Belle's departure, and starts to beat him, but the Beast fights back upon seeing Belle return and defeats Gaston, but shows him mercy. Gaston manages to stab the Beast in the back before falling to his own death, and the Beast dies in Belle's arms as she admits she loves him. However, the spell breaks and the Beast is reverted to his human form, Prince Adam, as well as revived. He embraces Belle and his servants and they hold a ball to celebrate. | ||
