## History

It is currently unknown how much Belle's Mirrorverse story differs from her mainline counterpart. She is noted to be Royalty, so it is likely that she is still married to The Beast. Her staff also holds the Enchanted Rose as a "keepsake."

*Belle's world and backstory will be explained with the February 2024 release of* Disney Mirrorverse: Belle.
Belle's love of learning and "unconventional point of view" gave her the ability to discover hidden magic within her books, which enabled her to become a sorceress, weilding magic through her staff. She was later found by Mickey Mouse, who took her to the Stellar Mirror at Mirrorforge Crater and enabled her to become a Guardian of it, giving her greater ability to control Stellar Magic. Belle is noted to have become a guardian due to her "inquisitive mind," meaning she is driven to guardianship by the hope of learning more about her world. She also has full trust in Mickey Mouse and his status as leader of the Guardians.

She is one of the most powerful sorcerers within the Mirrorverse, with a "trusted spell tome" holding multiple enchantments she can use to aid her party; she often discovers new spells and abilities, cataloguing them into her tome. She is known as "a powerful healer and loyal protector with a keen sense of adventure."

## Chapter Three: Mirrorforge Melee

Belle was currently at the Mirrorforge Crater when Mickey Mouse called for assistance due to Maleficent's Fractured attempting to take the Stellar Mirror. Belle met with the Guardians Rapunzel, Captain Jack Sparrow and Sulley, apparently tasked with bringing them quickly to the mirror to head off Maleficent. Upon joining the party, Belle discovered that Sulley was mired by a Guilt Complex, convinced that if he was a better guardian none of this would be happening. She worked to assure him that none of this was his fault, and he would not have to constantly be protecting his fellow Guardians, only for him to try and protect her as well as his other friends; his hovering ended up slowing them down and distracting them. Sulley eventually was attacked as he was not paying attention to himself, but was saved by Belle's intervention, as she assured him once more that as a team, they all looked out for each other, and it wasn't his job alone.

The party reached the Mirror, where the group had to face off against a Fractured Maleficent in order to defend Mickey. During the battle, the real Maleficent arrived, offering them mercy in her future rule. They turned her down, before managing to defeat her fractured self. Upon her defeat, Maleficent then announced this was a "test" for the group and that she would now be joining them to defeat Jafar, who now held the Fractured Mirror. While none of the guardians believed her lies, Mickey accepted her proposal, figuring that it would be easier to keep an eye on her if she was with them than if she was on her own, and as a bonus, she could teach them about the Fractured they were fighting.

## Chapter Four: Bad is the New Good

Still distrustful of Maleficent, the Guardians follow her to Agrabah. Rapunzel questions Belle about Mickey's decision, but Belle insists that she has full trust in the Stellar Sorcerer, and is fine keeping an eye on Maleficent as they go. Despite this, she still acts standoffish towards the dark fairy. As Maleficent explains the Fractured Mirror disappeared from her and reappeared for Jafar, Belle asks what Maleficent "did wrong" to make it vanish; Maleficent is unsure whether to dislike or admire her "impudency." Belle then proceeds to question Maleficent on her intentions once more, and Maleficent decides she finds Belle's suspiciousness charming, as it reminds her of herself.

The party makes their way through Agrabah, eventually making it to the Sultan's palace, where Jafar is waiting for them. Belle argues with Maleficent again, pointing out that Maleficent was the one to create the Fractured, before they proceed to the palace itself. They meet with Jafar and a Fractured Genie; after defeating the Genie in combat, Jafar escapes, and Sulley is informed that the Fractured Mirror has transferred to someone at the Scare Floor.

## Chapter Five: Scare Floored

Upon arriving at the Scare Floor, Belle once again antagonizes Maleficent for a moment before they fight the Fractured, still rightfully distrustful of her. The guardians have to evade both the Fractured and several Death Traps set by Oogie Boogie, which tended to be triggered by Rapunzel's excited rampage. Belle questions Maleficent on how Oogie Boogie obtained the mirror, and Maleficent simply says it must have appeared to him after it vanished from her. Belle asks why a "great sorceress" would need a broken mirror to make magic; her random flattery, in a turn of events, arouses Maleficent's suspicions.

The group manages to defeat a Fractured version of Oogie Boogie, which excites Oogie so much that he agrees to join them in hopes of encountering "more fun." Belle asks him where the Fractured Mirror is, to which he replies that after he "shoved it full of crystals," it disappeared again.

## Chapter Six: Calm Before the Storm

The party goes to the Snuggly Duckling at Forest's Edge to celebrate their temporary victory. Belle and Maleficent arrive together, only to discover more of the Fractured outside. Unfortunately, the Fractured have now been joined by several Elementals, who are attracted to their power. They report their current findings to Mickey Mouse before continuing through the forest.

After getting through a "tough spot," Maleficent admits to being impressed by Belle's magic, which Belle takes greatly to heart, as Maleficent herself is an accomplished enchantress. Rapunzel leads the party to Corona's Castle, where the Mirror is likely to be, and they meet with its new "owner," Hades, who already lost the mirror. He flees, though first giving them a Fractured version of himself to fight. Mickey arrives to assist them, before Ian Lightfoot directs them to Agrabah again.
