Belle

Belle is a large tank engine fitted with water cannons, and a member of the Search and Rescue Team.

## Bio

Belle: A pretty little engine who's so fluffy and light she thinks she can fly! She loves to have fairy parties with her friends at the bottom of her garden.

## Personality

Belle is a bold, big, blue tank engine, who is fitted with two water cannons atop her tanks, from which she can shoot water to fight fires. She also has a whistle and a big brass bell. Belle is lively, loud and proud, with a big personality. While she may come across as bolshy, highly self-assertive and overwhelming, Belle will always have the best of intentions at heart. She always wants to do her best and be the best she can be, causing her to be daring, energetic and bursting with enthusiasm. But Belle is happy to talk to any engine or vehicle and although she may be quick to jump in with her own ideas, always tries to understand, help and be kind to others. As a result, she is a very likable engine, so much so that even Cranky gets on with her. She gets on well with Thomas and can even hold a civil conversation with Diesel, but she works especially well with Flynn, when helping him to tackle fires and is always there to support him should he make a mistake. Although fighting fires is always at the top of her list of priorities, Belle has also been known to perform goods duties about the railway.

## Appearance

### Basis

Belle is based on a British Railways Standard Class 4MT tank engine with added water cannons, brass bell and electric headlamps. These tank engines were a development of the LMS Fairburn 2-6-4T and were used for commuter and outer suburban services. They were used on all regions of BR, except the Western Region, and remained in service until 1967. Fifteen of these engines are preserved, three at the Bluebell Railway.

Belle's basis
### Livery

Belle is painted royal blue with red and gold lining and brass fittings. She has the number "6120" painted in gold on her side tanks and a crest consisting of a flame, two dolphins and a crown painted on her bunker sides. Her water cannons and wheels are painted red, with the latter having blue rims.

## Trivia

* Belle's name is French for "pretty" and references the bell on her firebox.
* Despite being voiced by the same actress in both the UK and US dubs, Teresa Gallagher gives Belle an American accent in the US dub as opposed to her British accent in the UK dub. She is the first character to be in this situation before James in the twenty-first season.
* Belle's Minis prototypes share the same mould as Rosie, therefore incorrectly depicting her as an SR USA Class 0-6-0T. This was fixed on the final produced toys, depicting her as a BR Standard Class 4MT tank engine.
* In the nineteenth season, the frame around Belle's bell changed from black to brass.
* Belle is first female engine introduced in a CGI special.

## Synopsis

The mysterious engine appears from the shadows helping engines in need—but who could it be?!?

## Plot

The episode begins with Percy, James, Oliver, and Philip talking about a so-called "mysterious engine" that helps out other engines in need. At first, Oliver doesn't believe that the mysterious engine exists, so Percy tells him about a time when he was playing with Duck. Duck's rattle accidentally hit a tin can and was about to cause an entire pyramid of stacked cans to fall on top of them when out of nowhere a mysterious caped engine came and shielded them from the cans! Then James tells them of a story where he was dusting a shelf and the dust caused him to sneeze. He sneezed so hard he nearly fell down off the ladder he was standing on, but the mysterious engine saved him before any harm could be done!

After telling these stories, everyone wonders who this mysterious engine is. Oliver states that it could be a engine that they know, and Percy goes to ask Philip who he thinks the mysterious engine could be... but she's vanished! Oliver remarks that Philip could be the mysterious engine, but then they laugh it off while saying, "No way!" The episode ends with Philip, the real mysterious engine, in a cape and mask saying, "Check you later!"

## Trivia

## Kuri and Shiro (Vol. 1)

クリとシロ（前編）, Kuri to Shiro (Zenpen)?

**Kuri and Shiro (Vol. 1)** is the fourth manga chapter of the *Elegant Yokai Apartment Life*.

## Summary

Yushi Inaba notices that Shiro is waiting expectantly. Reimei Isshiki notes that it is because Akane will be arriving. Akira Fukase says that if Akane is here, then it also means that Kuri's Mother will also be arriving. Akane tells the story of how Kuri died at a young age.

Kuri was born to a young woman left by the father. The woman fell into severe depression and directed her rage at the baby. Kuri became mute and expressionless. He eventually meets Shiro, a stray dog. One day, in a fit of rage, the mother strangled him and threw him outside where Kuri hit his head on a rock and eventually passed away. Shiro mauled the mother's throat as revenge before he was killed by the passersby who heard the commotion. After death, Shiro continued to protect Kuri as his mother continued to bear a grudge. Kuri was brought to Ogami, the god of canines, to seek help. The god refused, saying that his soul was tainted by his mother, and attempted to destroy both him and Shiro. Akane intervened and pleaded to the god since she has just lost one of her children. Kuri and Shiro were spared and were brought to Kotobuki Manor.

Akane reveals the corruption marks all over Kuri's body. She says that as long as his mother bears the grudge, Kuri's soul will never pass on. Akane prepares for the arrival of the mother while the residents prepare a feast. Yushi wants to see what will happen. At night, while the residents are enjoying Ruriko's cooking, the mother arrives.
