Belle only started to consider Beast after seeing all the books he had, his money/wealth, and him being a prince as his royal status meant she could be living much better if she played her cards right.
Belle over looked his appearance because she was a gold digger, and already thought she was better then the people of Little Town.
she was better than the townspeople though i mean it took all of 2 minutes for gaston to convince them to go murder everyone in a castle
and she wasnt a gold digger she didnt like the beast until he started acting nice to her and when he offered to let her go she fucking ran back home to her life of poverty until the end
There were not people in the Castle, there were monsters there that from the word of the girl's father kidnapped her. And she was not living in poverty. ---
