Canon Character Information
Appearance: Belle stands at 5'2 (I am basing this on her PB's actual height, mind you) with brunette curls and blue eyes. Belle typically dresses in the high end spectrum of things. In the Enchanted Forest, Belle wore long flowing dresses when living with her father and then wore clothes that were a bit less extravagant when living with Rumpelstiltskin. In Storybrooke, she dresses in a classy sort of high fashion, favoring skirts and heels over pants. The one time she wears pants is when she decides to do some exploring of the Enchanted Forest on her own, after Rumpelstiltskin asks her to leave his castle. Belle does not typically wear her hair up or in braids. She often times leaves it down in long flowing curls, or straight. She will occasionally pin sections of it or tuck her bangs behind her ear but that's about the extent of it.
History:http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Belle_French
Personality: “I've always dreamed of heroics, but... I think it's safer I stick to my books. They're the only adventures I know that have happy endings.” - Belle, OUAT Episode 2x11; The Outsider
Belle is not your typical Disney Princess who needs saving from a castle or some evil beast. Often times Belle tends to carve her own way, through stubbornness and intellect. A great example of this is when she first meets Mulan and shows her where the monster the warrior is looking for is located, using books alone while the other woman could not find the thing by her known tracking abilities. Belle is a lover of books first and foremost and it is because of that, like some more naive fictional story readers, she has a sense of adventure that often blinds her to what the real world is actually like. She has faith and optimism that knows no bounds, something other characters admire about her. Also, she is resourceful in a pinch and quick to defend those who need it.
Belle is the girl who will sit down with someone and hold their hand and tell them how much she believes in them. She is selfless which often can intermingle with reckless in many instances. Something of a flaw and a strength is that Belle sees the good in others. This is especially true of Rumplestiltskin. She develops a bit of a Stockholm Syndrome with him. In the beginning of their relationship she is curious about him while he is cruel in return, often upsetting her or making her nervous. This changes over time, though she does not hesitate to tell him when he is completely out of line.
Belle wants to do everything in her power to heal the hurts of those in her life. This does not make her a push over, of course. Her stubborn will often rules over her good heart in morally questionable situations - be it when Rumplestiltskin is plotting or her father is trying to tell her how to live her life. She is not afraid to physically injure someone who is threatening her, once knocking a bookshelf over onto Hook, or to spew verbal insults or threats. She is also one of the only people in the Enchanted Forest to ever speak highly of Rumplestiltskin. Despite all the trust and love she has for him, she struggles to convince others of his goodness. Her own father outright endangers her life in an attempt to keep her from Rumplestiltskin at one point, in an attempt to do what he thinks is best for her.
“To me, love is... love is layered. Love is a... a mystery to be uncovered.” - Belle, OUAT 1x12; Skin Deep
Belle is a romantic, more than likely owing to her love of stories. She believes that love is not so simple and that there are many facets to it. When she loves someone, she loves them. She does not turn her back on them no matter how angry she might be. More than once, Rumplestiltskin has tested this in her. His lust for power often makes him a cruel person and Belle is not afraid to call him on it when he says or does things she cannot abide by. While she loves him, her relationship with Rumplestiltskin does not define her, as is common with most of the ladies in her canon. She is more than capable of standing on her own without him if she needs to and often times if he needs her to.
A lot of the time, Belle does not think her ideas through – be it volunteering to go live with a strange man or rushing out to face an unknown beast that no one can seem to find let alone kill. She has the courage to push on despite adversity and never lets herself give up on something or someone. Her compassion is what drives her and what has made her character what it is. It is also what helps others like Ruby and Rumplestiltskin see the good in themselves.
However, it is because of Rumple's issues that Belle has a very one sided view against magic. She abhors it, believing magic can only ever bring about one result: destruction of any good surrounding or within the person who wields it. Though she does not judge any other person who uses it, she does view it as almost a poison to specifically Rumple. There hasn't really been interaction with her and anyone who uses good magic in the series (fairies) other than possibly dwarfs who have tried to encourage her that magic is not all about corruption. She still remains somewhat skeptical though respectful of their views.
Powers/Abilities/Talents: No magical abilities but her wits, Belle is an intelligent woman who uses that intelligence in dire situations. Some skills Belle has learned from reading and through misadventures include being able to discern knots, being able to expertly determine the habitat of various creatures, some minor sword play (though she isn't very good). She is also relatively good at cleaning and likes to be neat and orderly.
AU/CR AU Addendum: N/A
What 4 items would you like your character to have with them on the island during their stay? The book Belle had when she first met Rumplestiltskin in the Enchanted Forest, Her two main dresses from EF timeline: The blue dress and the golden gown (since Rumple has their chipped cup). A fake of Rumple's dagger or if that's not possible a rose pendant as a nod to her origin story.

[ooc: Just a third person prompt I came up with for my app /o/]
Watching the Jolly Roger drift off across the water and departing Storybrooke had been the hardest thing Belle had ever done. She'd wanted so badly to just go and be with Rumplestiltskin. Most importantly she wanted to be of help to him. If she could save Henry she would but knew that to do that she would need to give the boy a place to come back to. Rumple believed him to be his undoing, but she firmly believed that wasn't to be. She would see him again, no matter what it took.
"I will. We'll see each other again." She whispered, clutching the spell in her hands. She wanted to grieve and worry and a myriad of other emotions that threatened to overwhelm her. Before that, she had work to do. Before that, she needed to wait for him. It was easy to want to be brave and to act brave, but to commit to bravery when you didn't feel brave was even harder to do.
Today she would be brave and do what Rumplestiltskin had asked of her.
Finally, out of the 4 words, pick one: Chimes, lake, gravel, or sun? Gravel
