Why does Belle look different?
Why does Belle look different? Belle's early look in Beauty and the Beast was considered too glamorous to be relatable.

Are there any autistic Disney characters?
Disney villains show many autistic traits. Malificent, Scar and Ursula are reclusive introverts with very poor social skills, often not invited to places because they don't fit in and are often disliked for their eccentricities.
Why is Belle unique?
Her smarts and free-thinking attitude make her stand out from her fellow townspeople, who regard her as a little odd behind her beauty. Unlike most characters in the film, Belle is not concerned about her or others' appearances and she's able to look past how people appear and see into their hearts.
