* - - - the fairest of them all
belle does not exactly work out for her body. she has always been some what curvy but still slim. its her assets that give her that womanly shape she has. having a good size chest, around a C cup and a backside to be proud of. too bad she isn't the type to be showing off her skin like most would if they were her. she is too shy to be gallivanting around in skimpy outfits. she is an average height of five-six. belle has a toned body, not from exercise but from her yoga classes which she cannot go one day without. she also walks almost everywhere she goes so that gives her some very tones legs. her body over all isn't in the best shape it can be in, but healthy enough for her. belle has a natural tanned tone to her skin, but she doesn't look brown or ghost white. its just a light tan from spending her days in the sun when she goes for walks to get out of the house.
belle is your basic brunette really. its apparent that she is beautiful and has a certain grace about her. some even say that there is no wonder that her name means beauty. she has warm milk chocolate brown eyes that give you the sensation of drinking coco on a winter day. they aren't darting or overwhelming like some tend to have, but welcoming and comfortable. they are almond shaped and are crowned by lengthy arched eyebrows. her eyes are where her expression and thoughts shine through, her poker face is horrible. she has a small straight nose and full light pink lips. belle has high cheek bones without smiling and a very pointed jaw line. she has very long wavy brown hair, the same color of her eyes. she usually keeps it up in a pony tail, but on occasion lets her hair down. there is always a flyaway piece of hair that doesn't seem to want to stay in place. forever resting on her forehead. charming smile. often appearing vague and dreamy. she has a vertical scar on the back of her left arm that she keeps covered up most of the time.
her style is consistent with the trends of her country really and especially her town. the women of france have always been very into the way they present themselves and this has been passed down to belle through her aunt. she has a classic feminine sense of fashion, which can also be credited to her mother. her father kept all of her mothers clothing and belle wears about everything her mother ever owned. she loves pastels, ruffles, pearls, silks and little black dresses. you can find the random pair of skinny pant blue jeans somewhere in her clothing. most of them from high school since she thought it was time to retire from them. she owns many tights because of her yoga classes. she loves high heels, puma sneakers and uggs for comfort wear.
* - - - look deep insideif people would give belle the chance to get to know her they would know that she is a compassionate and sympathetic person. she has a very big loving heart and a very talented writer. belle is one of those dreamers. she feel hurt most of the time that people would rather talk about her from a distance but won't actually talk to her. it makes her feel like people have put her in a bubble, isolated from people knowing the real her. it makes belle a loner and also extremely grateful for the friends she does have. she knows what people say behind her back. that she is peculiar and seems stuck up. belle is far from stuck up. given the chance, you would know you were wrong about her in about two minutes. belle can be funny at times, she has a poetic way with her words, she's trusting, and caring. belle is a hopeless romantic and feels that its the purpose of life, to be loved by someone and love them in return. kind and understanding of others. those are just some of the positives.
on a more negative note she can be extremely stubborn. once you get on her bad side there is no telling what she might do. her favorite is the silent treatment, it sounds childish but its very effective. she basically makes you feel like you aren't even worthy of her acknowledging your presence. she has a sharp tongue and has the tendency to be argumentative. belle does not appreciate men or anyone for that matter, acting like she's helpless. she refuses to be that stereotypical house wife that lazy self worshiping men want. belle also hates when guys try to make advances towards her with such aggression. she finds it annoyingly pathetic and will let them know in a heart beat what she thinks about them. belle feels that she shouldn't settle for anything less then what she wants. when you really take her all in, she is a lot to handle.
belle also tries to believe that everyone has some sort of good in them and that makes her gullible. if someone were to tell her that they just wanted a second chance to prove themselves, she would give it to them. once her trust is lost though its lost for good. she won't forget what people have done to her or anyone she cares about. thats just the way belle is, getting too emotionally involved in everyone else's problems. she loves acting because it allows her to be someone else entirely which is an escape from being who she really is and facing her actual problems in life. its a good way to put money in her bank account and also help her to get to know different characters. writers need inspiration from anything they can wrap their minds around.
she is in love with writing and in love with love itself. although she has some flaws in herself that doesn't mean that she doesn't contain wisdom. she gives good advice but cannot take her own advice. she looks at people like books, never judging by the cover but really wanting to get to know them as a whole. she is very peaceful to be around and has a magnetic personality when given the chance. to those that do not know her, its the opposite effect. it does not surprise her as much since she has been dealing with it all of her life. she just has that look that you just think she has her head too far up in the clouds to associate with her. once you do know her though, you want to be around her. she loves astronomy, having the top floor of her apartment as her "tower", where she often goes for quite star gazing and moon staring.
she appears to have a damsel in distress look about her, but she is quite capable. soribelle is a strong individual, brave, and that should not be overlooked. she has had to maintain a strong exterior for her father and herself. everyone is constantly talking about her and instead of wallow in it, she simply ignores it. belle is also the type of person that likes to get things done by herself. it makes her a very independent person. getting things organized and managing her finances very well. belle doesn't try to dominate anyone because she hates feeling controlled. she tends to protect her emotional vulnerability with sharp wit. she is romantic and curious.
in a relationship she expects to have her dreams valued and to be protected from harsh criticism. to be cared for romantically. belle wants a man that needs her in his life just as much as she needs him. someone who is strong and confident, but isn't so proud that he can't ask for her help. someone that tells her the truth and takes every aspect of her personality in. belle is tired of just dating at this age. she wants someone that is going to be their for the future. she has this view of her life in the years to come. she loves and wants to have kids someday. have a huge house with an even bigger library. reading is her favorite pass time, its also one of the reasons being an actress is fun. you get to read all of these creative scripts. belle loves the country side and especially the outdoors. she would spend all her time in the outdoors if she could.
you can often find belle sitting at a cafe, enjoying some chai tea with a book in her hand. in the city, watching a play or even being in it. she loves to watch movies in the park, they have them every sunday and play the movie right up against the library building. dancing while she cleans her house. she loves animals and has quite a few of them, big dogs especially. belle has two yellow labs, both of them are girls and one of them is still a puppy. the puppy's name is luna and her mother is beauty. one black and tan Labrador, he is a male named beast, he acts like a guard dog. she also has two male siamese cats named double and trouble. belle likes to take her dogs to the park often and run around with them. she loves her family, going out to see them reminds her that she isn't as alone as she might feel sometimes. she loves to drink wine and can gobble up almost every type of french cheese out there. she loves adventure and spontaneous acts. most of all belle is unpredictable, most of the time she can't suppress her urges. acting on whim and taking matters into her own hands. most find this very calming about her because they don't have to think about anything, just follow her with the promise that you are going to have a good time with belle.
* - - - the family honor
belle was born when the full moon hung over the french sky at 11:08pm on February 19 to genevieve and claude binoche. they were newlyweds that were head over heels in love with each other. genevieve was the daughter of a politician that was on the rise and claude was the son of a lord in france. genevieve's mother was a house wife and writer. claude's mother was a publisher and professor, soon to be best friend of genevieve's mother. which is how gen and claude met, through their mothers. the family meshed together very well and everyone was happy. belle was the only child the couple had and life was perfect for a solid six years. they were driving through the rain and another driver that was too busy getting wasted smashed right into the passenger side of their car.
her mother was gone in a split second. gen was loved so deeply by everyone in the family, especially her and her father. she remembered waking up in the car, both parents unconscious. from the impact her mother had been pushed towards the drivers side of the car. her fathers face covered by the airbag. belle struggled to free herself and wake both of her parents. she didn't know if they were alive or dead. soon enough everything came in flashes. she was losing blood from a deep gash in her arm and warm rubber gloved hands were pulling her out from the wreck. she could remember screaming at the top of her lungs because she didn't want to lose sight of her parents. the screaming haunts belle in her dreams still, as if it were someone else screaming and she was watching from the inside.
they took her to the hospital and there is where she awoke. IV's and a throbbing pain in her arm. her aunt and grandmother in the room with her both crying. belle felt the overwhelming feeling that a six year old shouldn't be able to handle. her aunt and grandmother looking at her with alert eyes not knowing what to say, how to tell a little girl her mother is gone. belle expected the worst and felt her world collapse around her in the form of melting water colors. could it be true that both her mother and father are gone? it wasn't until the curtain to the side of her room opened when she saw her father lying there. he too was coming to, fighting past the pain killers. a brace around his neck. turning to her side she finally felt the tears of pain forming in her eyes. pain because of her injury and loss of her mother. relief because her father is still alive and she isn't alone...guilt because she felt relief at a time like this.
they both looked into each others eyes from across the room and began to cry. her father took a deep breath and began taking out the plastic tubes attached to him, screaming at the top of his lungs that it couldn't be true. gritting her teeth she understood what her father was feeling and didn't try to quiet him like her aunt and grandmother were. the ache in his voice as he quieted his choked up screaming. the beeping of the heart rate machine as he disconnected it from himself to walk over to belle and hold her, despite both of their external pain. the internal pain was what was hurting them at the moment and no pain killers could take that away. the next few days were a blur. belle's first wake and funeral. the feeling of coming back home and not hearing her mothers voice. that night she slept in her mothers bed with her father and they both wept for their loss, inhaling her scent that still lingered in the room.
it was a moment in belle's life that made her appreciate what she had and what her mother would have wanted for her. her father still cannot bring himself to even speak of gen up to this very day. belle and her father had only themselves after that. when belle turned 12 they moved away from france. partly because her father wanted to get away from the city that promised love but had taken it away from him and also because of his job offerings else where. belle doesn't like to talk about what happened to her mother, but does like to speak and think of the good memories she had of her. belle wasn't brought up spoiled nor neglected. her father had to be a mother and a father. he had no idea how to deal with womenly problems, hormones and couldn't answer many of belle's questions. which is why she became an avid reader.
reading helped her through everything growing up. how to cook for her father, the proper way to clean, facts about germs and periods. keep a healthy lifestyle, anything that could really benefit her. then she came across her mother collection of love stories and soon found what she really enjoyed to read, not because she had to learn something but because she wanted to feel the things her characters felt. it was her escape and a way to pass the time, take her mind off things. high school didn't change much for belle. she still visited her father from the academy she went to, to do his laundry and check up on him. her father the inventor that everyone thinks has a few screws loose, belle thinks he is brilliant. the only thing that changed in high school was the newly found attraction most had to her. went through some short lived relationships but all of them ended rather quickly. there have been some guys that have chased her around, but she is very particular when choosing a boyfriend. she just knows that they want to be with her for all the wrong reasons. they go for her looks and they think that she will be one of those women that stay out of their business and take care of their every need. most of them do not even care about anything but themselves. which is why she is currently single and repelling every man away until she finds the one that actually listens to what she says.
belle is currently living in walten city, north carolina. she moved there because she came from a small town in france and thought it would be nice to live in a house that is authentic and spacious, with a huge flower meadow behind it. the house was a present from her father, a piece of land he had been saving up for belle. she works just outside the town about an hour away into the city by train. she lives with a room mate, but that is mostly because she gets lonely and needs a little extra spending cash. her father lives two hours away by car and belle still visits him frequently. currently belle feels that she has no time for herself, it makes for a very straining life to a person like her. everything has become so routine and that's just not like her. she hates routine! when exactly did she fall into such a provincial life and how will she pull herself out of it?
* - - - connect the dots
there are many factors that tie the two together. in the movie belle only had her father and a mother was never present. soribelle on the other hand had a mother but is no longer present in her life and so that has brought the bond with her father closer, just like belles. both soribelle and belle are protective of their father. in the movie belle is always looking for a way to escape whats around her. she runs out into the fields, gets lost in books and in her own thoughts, just like soribelle. she doesn't judge people by the way they look, but by the person they are just like belle. belle didn't judge the beast by his looks but did not like him because he was cruel and was holding her father prisoner.
everyone thought gaston was the best man in town, with his good looks. belle saw the good looks, but felt that he was so full of himself. both belle and soribelle dream of a life that seems to be so far away from the life they are living. they long for love and just something more. both characters are rather peculiar, lovely, sweet and kindhearted. they both are victims but often find it in themselves to get courage to pull themselves out of it. belle and soribelle both have a way with being able to take crap from stubbornly rude people. which in this case would be soribelle's boyfriend. they are both non-confrontational but can get snippy when the time calls for it. both caring and both sacrificing.
* - - - the stuff heroes are made ofbelle was used to hanging around daniel and remy so much that when they weren't together, it seemed to feel like years. friends were like books to belle, she couldn't see herself without them. remy had been friends with belle since they were in diapers. when belle thought about it, they have remained the same since they were little kids. belle always with her head in the books and remy always tempting her away from them. he also always had this sort of boyish charm. it would make all the older ladies coo and aww all over remy. all making him the promise of getting married when he becomes of age. sorries father on the other hand always would say hopeful words towards remy and belle having something together. belle that was just wishful thinking on her fathers part. belle had stopped by the video store earlier that morning, before her 3rd period started.
it was always an indecisive mission for soribelle to pick out a movie. her taste always said to pick out the romantic movies and her mind told her to get a movie both of them could enjoy. which would mean that she would have to get a movie that had romance, some action and maybe even a family controversy. remy liked movies like that, it wasn't like he was against her whole obsession with the world of romance. he was happy as long as soribelle didn't get another jane austen based movie.. belle picked up love actually, penelope and 50 first dates. looking at her text message she felt a mixture of excitement and happiness as she walked out of her dorm with the movies in her hand, along with a little box of sweets. her au pair took quite the liking to remy over the years, mostly because he always came into her house complimenting her.
it wasn't a very long walk to remy's dorm, just a turn around the corner and up a flight of stairs. folding her hand in she knocked her knuckles against the wood of the door. leaning against the wall next to the door she waited for the door to open with a big grin on her face.
zorry to disappoint, no mindless romanteecs this time. just romantic comedies, thought i'd make 'eet fair . mm chinese food
