Belle is one of the main characters on Once Upon A Time. She is one of the only characters that keeps her name during the Dark Curse.

Canon

She is considered the Beauty in the Beauty and the Beast fairytale.

Fandom

Belle quickly became one of the more popular characters in the OUAT fandom when it was announced she would be appearing on the show.[1]

She's somewhat of a Little Black Dress, especially amongst sapphic fans viewing her interactions with other women as being a little gay. Ruby Lucas and Ariel are the two most obvious examples of this, though it also applies to other characters like Zelena, or Emma.
