Yes, my MBTI posts are back! I've studied the cognitive functions a lot lebih so they'll be a little different. I have many other Disney MBTI posts ready on my link so I'll be posting lebih soon.



Introverted Sensing (Si): Though Belle says she wants excitement and adventure, she never actually does anything about it. She stays in town, performing the same routine every day: go into town, get books, read them, do some chores around the house. It bores her, but it's what she knows and is comfortable with. Later, she eventually falls into the same routines, reading, taking walks, feeding the birds; the only difference is she's doing them in a magic palace now! Everything she concludes about her stay in the Enchanted castle, she knows from her fairy tale books. In "Something There", she muses over her feelings for the Beast that differ so greatly from what she has come to learn about him (well, he's BEEN a big, terrifying brute with a bad temper- why should I care about him so much now?).



Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Belle is well-mannered, very proper, and though she's not stimulated in her village, she never makes a big fuss. It bothers her a little to not fit in with her community. She thinks Gaston is boorish but never snaps at him, just politely engages with him, even when he damages her book. She is able to flatter Gaston to get rid of him, and similarly manipulates Lumiere and Cogsworth so she can sneak off to the West Wing. However, overall, she doesn't always express her deeper emotions (though she WILL assert herself when she needs to) if she thinks it will hurt others, and this almost cost the Beast his life. She doesn't always try to empathize with the other person (but still sometimes expects others to somehow just know how she feels).



Introverted Thinking (Ti): Belle is intellectually curious and greatly enjoys learning. She sees past appearances, which is why she is willing to stay with the Beast after all despite him frightening her. She knows that just because Gaston is handsome and popular doesn’t necessarily mean he is a kind person. The Beast, like Gaston, was rude and boorish to her, but she notices his kindness when he gives her a better room and then rescues her. Belle isn’t necessarily good at Membaca people, but she is good at analyzing situations. When she wants Gaston out of her house, she doesn’t tell him to go, but finds a way to him to the door and make him leave anyway. She is fascinated sejak the many secrets the Enchanted istana, castle might hold.



Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Belle is dreamy, yearning to escape her small-town boredom and have "adventure in the great, wide somewhere", never specifying exactly what kind of adventure it is she wants; she just likes the idea of seeing things and getting away from her village of "little people". She loves books, especially fairy tales, because they spark her imagination. She is able to see different sides of people: the rude side of Gaston nobody else in town seems to see, and the gentleness beneath the rude, gruff exterior of the Beast. She wonders what the rose is, and what's its connection to the Beast (or the young man in the portrait, for that matter)?



Note: I know I had her typed as an INTP (same functions, different order) but after some analyzing and discussing it with my fellow MBTI peminat on tumblr, I see she is lebih value-driven than reason-driven.
