The youngest daughter of a merchant, known for her inner and outer beauty.

From "Beauty and the Beast" by Leprince de Beaumont, Jeanne-Marie

Worldview

Beauty sees the world as a place where inner goodness can triumph over outward appearances. She believes in the importance of family and is willing to make sacrifices for those she loves. She also holds a strong sense of justice and believes that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and compassion.

Personality

Beauty is kind, selfless, intelligent, and virtuous. She is initially grieved by the loss of her family's fortune but quickly adapts and finds contentment in simple living. Her willingness to sacrifice herself for her father's sake demonstrates her deep love and sense of duty. She values inner qualities over superficial appearances.

In Their Own Words

"Why should I, (answered Beauty,) it would be very needless, for my father shall not suffer upon my account, since the monster will accept of one of his daughters, I will deliver myself up to all his fury, and I am very happy in thinking that my death will save my father's life, and be a proof of my tender love for him."
"Indeed, father (said Beauty), you shall not go to the palace without me, you cannot hinder me from following you."
"No, dear Beast, (said Beauty,) you must not die; live to be my husband; from this moment I give you my hand, and swear to be none but yours. Alas! I thought I had only a friendship for you, but, the grief I now feel convinces me, that I cannot live without you."
