We've come to the big one. I hear Belle called a Mary Sue a lot, più than any other princess aside from maybe Rapunzel.



Unique traits without contacts o hair dye- No. She has brown hair and brown eyes.
An odd name- No. 'Belle' isn't that odd of a name.
Looks constantly commentato on- God yes. The town literally sings an entire song about it (along with how odd she is). It's literally in the titolo of the movie, along with her name. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- Yep. Beast and Gaston, plus the whole town calling her beautiful. 1.
Gets into the relationships she wants- No. Her relationship wasn't one of her main goals, and she actually hated the Beast at first.
Always the hero- No, she's rescued da the beast
No flaws o any flaws addressed o called out on- Yes. Beast calls her out for being nosy, but he's portrayed as in the wrong while she's in the right. Aside from that, Belle doesn't have any flaws. 2.
Seen as perfect/angelic in everyone's eyes- Definitely. Even da the antagonist, who wants to marry her. 2.
Always loved and trusted without earning it- Not really. The villagers don't really Amore her and talk about her behind her back, Gaston sees her as a prize più than 'loving' her, and the beast only loved her after a long time.
Amore and trust from closed-off characters- Yes, the beast, though realistically so. 1.
Other characters degraded for her sake- Kind of. The townspeople are portrayed as simple and shallow, and Gaston is portrayed as ignorant and boorish in comparison to her. 1.
A rival to make her look good- No, Gaston is più the beast's rival.
Never fails- Yes. She succeeded in saving her father, seeing him again, earning her freedom, and bringing the beast back to life. 1.
Never injured- Yes. I can't remember a time when Belle was injured. 1.
Always praised and rewarded without earning it- No. The townspeople don't praise has as much as they call her odd, and the beast lets her go after she earns his love.
Unrealistically skilled/powerful- No, she couldn't fight off the Lupi da herself, and while Leggere is unusual at the time, it isn't unheard of.
Always figures things out- No. She didn't figure out what was up with the rose o the backstory of the beast.
Kind but deadly- Actually, no. Belle is kind and has a feisty side, but not as much as the other princesses and she isn't really 'deadly'.
Tragic backstory- Not really. Her life isn't tragic, just boring and mundane. She does complain about it, but unlike Ariel and Jasmine, doesn't make it out as a huge tragedy.
Skilled in a wide variety of things- No, only reading.
Contradictory traits- No. te could say going into the West Wing is, but she isn't really portrayed as smart, just interested in reading, so that doesn't contradict it.
Always gets what she wants- Yes. She got "adventure in the great wide", her father back even after taking his place, and even her freedom. 1.
Rarely shows negative emotions- No, she gets angry quite a few times. Though I heard in the sequels, she shows this trait more.
A resurrection- Nope.

Wow. That's only 11 out of 24. Less than I expected. I'd still consider her a Mary Sue. She does have the biggest trait, no flaws. I guess the thing holding her back is loved da all. She actually isn't that widely loved compared to other characters like Rapunzel and the classics. I'd still consider her a little too idealized and lacking in flaws, but as far as this test goes, she isn't a Mary Sue.
