Film and video games: Disney's Beauty and the Beast released in 1991. Belle also appeared in the 2002 video game Kingdom Hearts and it's 2005 sequel Kingdom Hearts 2.
"Belle is as lovely as her name implies, but her natural, unaffected beauty is far more than skin deep. An intelligent, avid reader Belle yearns for faraway places and exciting adventures. She's a loyal, loving daughter, and when the beast finally wins her trust, she gives him all of her kindness and patience and then realizes she has also given him her heart. With her innner strength and outward beauty, Belle is a young woman who can - and does make things happen." -disneyprincess.com
"Belle is a village girl who became the Beast's true love. She sees beyond the hideous visage with which he has been cursed, realizing he has a good heart, Belle is one of the seven princess needed to unlock a doorway to unnatural powers." -Official Kingdom Hearts strategy guide
"Even though she always dreams of adventures and faraway lands, Belle never imagined she'd truly be part of one that would determine the fate of all worlds. In KINGDOM HEARTS, the Beast followed Belle across the void to rescue her in Hallow Bastion after she was captured by Maleficent.
Belle is, naturally, the "beauty" of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Since then, she's apperared in numerous Disney projects alongside the Beast and has become one of Disney's most recognized "princesses." -Official Kingdom Hearts 2 strategy guide
About the costume:
The dress is an official Disney Princess costume with alterations by me and my mom.
Originally the gown had a pink bow on the front and a pin with Belle's picture on it. I removed the bow and pin and my mom replaced it with three pearls. The gloves were purchased seperately and I dyed them yellow using Rit liquid dye. My mom bought me the shoes and I wear the pearl earrings she gave me on my wedding day. I use hair extensions to accomplish the hair style. At fist I used Beverly Johnson hair extensions:

But currently use a Designer Hair jaw clip extension by A Plus Inc. It's much easier to use.
