* BruiserWithASoftCenter
* CharacterDevelopment: He's ''all about'' character development; in fact you can tell which mid-quel takes place when, based off how much of a jerk the Beast is at the time.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Just a bit {{Jerkass}}, but not evil.
* DarkWorld: His castle under the enchantment.
* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice Prince]]: The Beast's CharacterDevelopment makes him evolving into this.
* DisneyDeath: Possibly justified because he was under a magical spell and Belle reversed it.
* BackFromTheDead: Gaston's knife wound actually did mortally wound Beast at the end, but luckily reversing the spell revived him as well as making him human again. Or maybe it's OnlyMostlyDead, with ThePowerOfLove simply resolving the balance.
* {{Badass}}: Who else can handle a pack of hungry wolves and get away with only a scratch?
* BadassBaritone[=/=]GutturalGrowler
* BadassCape
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Due to the size and shape of his legs and feet, he ''cannot'' wear shoes.
* BeastAndBeauty
* BeastMan
* BeautifulAllAlong: Although when he changed back, that wasn't good enough for Belle, and she had to see into his eyes that he was the same person she fell in love with.

* ExpressiveEars
* EyesNeverLie: That's how Belle realizes the prince is really Beast.
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: TheBeast.Beast is on the receiving end of this several times (being one of the few Disney characters to actually ''bleed''). He's noticeably cut up and bloody after the fight with the wolves, takes Gaston's arrow to the shoulder, and has a large bleeding wound on his side after Gaston stabs him.
* FeetFirstIntroduction: The Beast remains in silhouette until the dungeon scene, when Belle asks him to come into the light. This trope then occurs (with a brief cutaway to Belle's face up close and horrified).
* GentleGiant: Mostly in the film's second half.
* HeelFaceTurn
* {{Hunk}}: His true form.
* HybridMonster[=/=][[MixAndMatchCritters Mix-and-Match Critter]]: The beast has the mane of a lion, the beard and head of a buffalo, the brows of a gorilla, the eyes of a human, the tusks of a wild boar, the body of a bear, and the hind legs and tail of a wolf.

This is for the characters from the [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Disney movie]].
!!Belle
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Regarded as odd by the other townspeople for her love of reading and for being the daydreamer that she is; Belle herself has a hard time finding someone other than her father to befriend.
* AscendedFangirl: Belle reads romantic adventure stories about far-off places and magic spells while wishing for adventure in the great wide somewhere.
* BadassDamsel: Belle. When the wolves came after her, she beat a wolf off her horse with just one swing of a stick, and tried to fight back before the Beast rescued her.
* BeastAndBeauty
* {{Bookworm}}
* BrainyBrunette
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: With Beast.
* CharacterTics: Belle tucks back a lock of hair that's always falling in her face.
* CostumePorn: Her yellow ball gown for her DanceOfRomance with the Beast, among other just slightly less fancy dresses.
* DaddysGirl
* DeadpanSnarker: Particularly around Gaston.
* DisneyPrincess
* FriendToAllChildren
* GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Her gold ensemble in the famous ballroom scene.
* HappyHolidaysDress: The only princess who gets one during the course of an actual movie, appropriately ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas''.
* HazelEyes
* HotConsort
* IAmSong: More like a 'She Is' Song, since it's mostly sung by the townspeople.
* InformedAttractiveness: While certainly pretty, she's described as an unparalleled beauty in the movie, which also depicts almost every other woman as busty and very attractive, particularly the Three Bimbettes. Of course, Belle's beauty may be due to her seeming unattainable, unlike most of the other women who absolutely swoon over Gaston. In addition, Belle designed to be as taller and more slender, thus giving her a different kind of beauty than the other women.
* InHarmsWay: Belle craves adventure, because her hometown is safe and happy and boring.
* ImNotHungry: Belle refuses to eat dinner with the Beast (at first), with these exact words.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Belle's yellow ball gown appears like this is some shots (specifically close-ups during the West Wing Balcony scene).
* IWantSong: "Belle (Reprise)".
* LoveEpiphany "There's Something There" has a moment where she realizes she is getting feelings for Beast.
* [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Bungling Inventor's Beautiful Daughter]]
* MeaningfulName: Her name in this films is just "Beauty" in French.
* TheMessiah
* MissingMom
* OfficialCouple: With the Beast (Adam).
* OperaGloves
* PimpedOutCape
* PimpedOutDress: Several. Even the simple green and pink dresses she wears would have been made of expensive fabrics.
* PluckyGirl: Belle refuses repeatedly to submit to the Beast and only treats him better when he starts reforming.
* ThePowerOfLove
* PrettyInMink: Belle's wine-colored winter cape with white fur trim. In ''The Enchanted Christmas'', she is also seen in a scarlet jacket with white fur trim, and later a matching cape and skirt for when she goes out into the woods. They seem to like putting her in furs.
* PrincessesPreferPink: Her pink dress she wears with her fur cape.
* ScarpiaUltimatum
* SheCleansUpNicely
* SilkHidingSteel: Belle reforms Beast first by standing up to him and then with more gentle affection. She's technically a captive with no authority the whole time.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She's polite, but completely disinterested in the obnoxious, cocky {{Casanova}} Gaston, and falls for the Beast because she realizes that TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside.
** Although, she ain't so polite in turning Gaston down towards the end. "He's no monster, Gaston! YOU ARE!"
* SmallTownBoredom
* SpiritedYoungLady
* TakeMeInstead: Belle says this to Beast when she wants to be in her father's place, and the Beast accepts her offer.
* TrueBlueFemininity
* {{Tsundere}}: A light Type B given some of her interactions with the Beast and Gaston.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter
* UnflinchingWalk: Belle in a somewhat comedic example, where she's able to thread her way through town on what appears to be a market day, effortlessly blocking falling water with a hanging sign as she passes under it, all the while reading a book.

* EmergingFromTheShadows: Belle asks Beast to step into the light, and she [[TheReveal (and the audience)]] sees his face properly.
