Belle (A Christmas Carol)

Belle is Ebenezer Scrooge's neglected lover from his past in Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol.
==Background==
===Personality===
Belle is a kind and loving young woman who appears to see the best in people. She immediately falls in love with Scrooge, but falls out when he begins to concern himself with money over their relationship. Belle still clearly cared for Scrooge and wanted to reach out to him, but his coldness prevented her from doing so, implying a longing from her end.
===Physical appearance===
Belle is a young attractive woman who is always shown dressed in plain clothes of the Victorian era. In most adaptations, she admits to not being nearly as well off as Scrooge would like them to be. Because of this, her clothing tends to be very simple and common.
==Appearances==
===A Christmas Carol===
During Scrooge's visit with The Ghost of Christmas Past, it is shown that Scrooge first meets Belle at Fezziwig's party. Throughout the whole dance they shared, they felt a spark and get engaged. However, at another Christmas, Belle calls off the engagement following Scrooge's obsession with moneylending and finances. She is voiced by Robin Wright Penn, who also voiced Scrooge's sister, Fan.
===The Muppet Christmas Carol===
A friend of the Fozziwig family, Belle first meets the young Ebenezer at the annual Christmas party. The two fall in love and become engaged. However, the relationship is ruptured by Scrooge's increased focus on business, as the wedding date is continually put off. Belle leaves Scrooge, explaining her reasoning through the song "When Love is Gone".
