Belle is the titular female protagonist of Disney's 2017 film Beauty and the Beast. Not only is she a bookworm, but an inventor as well, whom she uses her inventions for everyday chores, which in turn provides her with time to catch up on her reading.
Her backstory with Maurice is also expanded upon, as this version of the story confirms that the death of Belle's mother was the result of the black plague, forcing Maurice to take Belle (who was still an infant at the time) and flee Paris for safer havens towards the town of Villeneuve in the French countryside. As a result of his wife's passing, Maurice is somewhat overprotective of Belle and has reservations over her dreams of experiencing adventure within the outside world. As such, he created music boxes that represent different countries to allow her to "see the world" without actually having to leave their provincial town of Villeneuve.[1] The fate of her mother (with her father's vague response on the former), left Belle puzzled and led her to seek out for answers; something that she would not discover for many years later, upon her time with the Beast, which he later showed her through a book given by the Enchantress as a means of traveling anywhere it desires, which she used it to transport them toward her childhood home in Paris and found out her mother's tragic fate, causing the Beast to realize his misjudgment of Maurice and made an apology to Belle for his earlier mistreatment to her father. The discovery of her mother's tragedy would be crucial for having Maurice and Belle making amends with each other, with Belle's widen understanding of why Maurice was so overly protective of her.
