Belle has gained a significant amount of intelligence over the years due to her love of books, providing her with an amazing vocabulary, active imagination, and an open mind. She is very confident and outspoken in her opinions, and seldom likes being told what to do. Despite all this, she does not have very many friends due to her smarts and being a free thinker. Unlike other people in the town, Belle isn't concerned about hers or other's appearances, and is able to look past how people appear and into their hearts.

Belle refuses to be mistreated, undermined, humiliated, demeaned or controlled by any man. However, Belle willingly listens to, looks up to and admires her father Maurice. She is quite obstinate when it comes to stating her points, upholding her opinions, and maintaining her ideas. Even though Belle had said that she dream in adventure, she has also stated that she also wishes for a friend who accepts her for who she is, because of everyone in town criticize her because of how she does her own thing and they don't understand why. Which makes her feel that she does not fit in but despite this even when people gave her a hard time she never changed, but came to a better understanding of herself.

Belle's personality transforms as time passes. At first, she frequently dreams about a life of adventure and romance, not realizing that sometimes adventures might take a turn for the worst. Belle realizes that having dreams is great, but sometimes you need to look beyond them and find what you're truly looking for.
