It was a really tough decision, I stared at it for like five minutes. But I ended up going with Belle because:
1. She reads books and loves stories, which is a huge part of MY life and just amazing in general
2. She looks to the inside rather than the outside, and the love she has for the Beast isn't based on looks, or handsomeness, or charmingness, or anything superficial, she loves him for who he actually is.
3. She's strong and independent too
4. She doesn't fall in love at first sight. As Elsa would say, "You can't marry the man you just met!"
5. Just to sum up, I'd just say that she really embodies the meaning of TRUE love, in that she sacrifices herself for others, and looks beyond appearances. Not to mention her love for her father as well!
