First, there is her ability to talk about the heart of the people. In the nineteenth episode of the second season, ‘Lacey’, a forgetful Belle tells Rumpelstiltskin that she knows his feelings are real. ‘I have a sense about people. I can’t explain how but I can just tell‘.
That’s a good point, but I also think that is part of Cursed Belle’s identity. Belle has a sense about people as well. This is just Belle’s trait coming out in Lacey. Don’t know if that’s magic or just part of the basic “Belle” story. Her greatest ability is that she can see beyond the monster.
Do you guys know that Belle is daughter of a fairy in one of the versions of Beauty and the Beast?
We do! There are many people around these parts who are a big fan of the theory that Tinkerbell might be Belle’s mother.
