Belle

**Annebelle** is a character from LinetteFox's Dreamland story and the main protagonist. She is a 17 year old girl who is worried about turning 18 and becoming an adult since a year passes between each journey into Dreamland she does grow to 20 years by the end of the story. When her parents die and she is given their Storybook her and her brother somehow end up going to Dreamland with her specifically in the role of Beauty from Beauty and the Beast.

## **Appearance**

### **Default**

In her usual form she appears as a pale skinned blonde girl with a tiny nose and dark blue eyes. Her hair is long and goes down and ends at the elbow with two ponytails at the bottom. On the side of her hair is a barrette shaped like a pink star. As a top she wears a black tank and above that is a pink dress that goes down and ends just before the feet, beneath that she wears two black boots and some perfectly white socks.

When going into Dreamland her outfit changes to a more old fashioned gown fitting a princess in the 1740s. It keeps the pink color but also has some white and black on the design, her hair is also tied up in a bun. Hidden in her dress is a belt that holds a knife, a wand and whatever else she may need to hide.

### **Other**

Since the original concept of the story would have allowed a player to choose between masculine and feminine she has more than one design. This version of her has short hair instead of long, a black shirt and jeans and a yellow jacket. The barrette and boots remained the same.

In the game version of the story no matter which version the player had chosen they'd also be allowed to choose between the princess gown or the traditional prince attire with the same color scheme and belt.

## **Personality**

Belle is a shy and quiet young girl, despite nearly being an adult she still acts rather childish and wishes she could be smarter like the grown ups around her. Although she may appear weak she does have a good sense of justice and will not stand for any kind of bad behavior. Even if the Beast asks her many times she will never give in to his evil desires and no matter how many bullies there are she will always protect her brother. Before Dreamland fairy tales was mostly just escapism from her hard real life, as she was on her journey she grows into the kind of person she's always wanted to be just more healthy.

## **Etymology**

Her full name is Annebelle which is a French name coming from the Hebrew word for 'Grace' and the French word for 'Beauty' the name together means 'favored grace'. Belle which is the nickname she primarily uses and means beauty refers to the character from the story Beauty and The Beast.
