Prince | The Prince lives a spoiled life in his castle. When he denies an enchantress in disguise shelter from a fierce snowstorm, the prince is transformed into a hideous beast by the enchantress, who is disgusted at the prince's lack of love in his [[heart]]. As an additional consequence, the enchantress turns all of the prince's servants into household objects, including [[Cogsworth]], [[Lumière]], [[Mrs. Potts]], [[Chip]], and [[Wardrobe]]. After this, the Prince decides to call himself the Beast. | ||
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. By the time its last petal falls, the Beast would stay in his terrible form forever, as would his servants. 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.

After a fierce confrontation with Xaldin which the Organization member lost, the Beast gladly takes his rose back from Belle. However, he is ashamed of how he had yelled at Belle. With a little encouragement from his friends, he bashfully asks her to stay with him. Belle smiles and accepts, and the two dance the night away in the castle courtyard. | After a fierce confrontation with Xaldin which the Organization member lost, the Beast gladly takes his rose back from Belle.

The Beast's appearance is a combination of physical characteristics from various wild animals, including a wild boar, wolf, buffalo, bear and lion. He often wears a torn purple cape and dark blue pants. When dressed up, he ties his hair back with a blue bow, and wears a blue and yellow jacket, an orange vest, and black pants. He is mostly shown hunched, except when he is in his formal dress. | The Beast's appearance is a combination of physical characteristics from various wild animals, including a wild boar, wolf, buffalo, bear and lion.

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 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 | Belle offers to replace Maurice with herself and the Beast accepts.
