### Mirrorverse Role

## Design

“*Belle's divergent origin takes a very different path from that of her Source World inspiration. After aiding the Enchantress who cursed the Beast,* Mirrorverse's *Belle is gifted her own rose. Donning a cloak inspired by her winter look, Belle wields a grimoire of spells. Now she's writing her own adventure, and the rose is the source of her healing and defensive powers instead of a curse!*”
―*The World of Disney Mirrorverse,* pg.31

Belle was one of the first characters designed for the *Disney Mirrorverse,* and as such formed the basis for the other divergent Guardians. Her core love of reading was easy to translate into her magic spellbook and curiosity. Only after her design was finished was her backstory concocted.

Her cloak is inspired by her winter outfit, though colored closer to her village dress.

Many designs went through several ideas for her, such as making her a swordsman, tinkerer, or beastmaster. Early designs experimented with giving her glasses, pants, a sword and shield, an inventive flamethrower, or wolf familiars. She was also tested with a gold color scheme rather than blue.
