character basics.[/ul][/font][/i]
Age: Somewhere in her twenties
Species: Human/Feather duster
Birthplace: France
Movie: Beauty and the Beast
Title: Sidekick
Why: I picked her because she seems like such a fun character to play! From the movie, we don't know much about her, except that she's very flirty and sassy. I imagine her to be a bit like myself, maybe a bit naive sometimes, love to flirt, many find us charming, and we both love attention. I also find it fun to play French characters. Accents are fun, and I like the French culture. Oh, and she's pretty. Did you notice she's pretty? ;D I'm babbling again, but I really like this character.

Character appearance (try to get at least 2 or 3 sentences for each section)[/ul][/font][/i]
Facial description/mood expressions: Oval or heart-shaped face, not too narrow and not too wide. Her eyebrows sometimes lift in a way that make her look more innocent than she actually is. Her brown eyes are rather large, with long, thick lashes and a bit droopy eyelids. She has a small nose and very pouty, pink and glossy lips.
Clothing style: Babette uses her French maid uniform every day, with her hat and black pumps. The outfit consists of a knee-length, brown skirt, black top with white, puffy straps and a white apron. The straps are very loose, so she shows off her shoulders, and the top has some cleavage.
Body build: Babette has a classic, hourglass-shaped body, with wide hips, large breasts and a small waist. A very small waist. Her legs are long and she isn't afraid of showing them off. She isn't afraid of showing anything off, to be more accurate.
Any unique traits (optional) : She looks very much like Belle, but her mouth has a bit thicker and more pouty lips, and her eyes are more droopy.

Original character analysis. (Everything must be in your own words! Please be thorough.)[/ul][/font][/i]
History: Babette was born in a family where she learned that love is the most important thing in life, more important than money. But that was until her parents sent her off to the castle to work because they were broke. Their actual plan was to secretely match their daughter with the Prince. She was beautiful enough for the Prince to accept her as a maid in his castle, but nothing happened between them. Something that did happen, however, was Babette and Lumiere. This affair lasted for several years until people actually found out. But many of the other workers had their suspicions about them.
But one evening that the Prince wouldn't shelter an old woman from the cold winter weather, a curse fell upon the whole castle, as the woman turned out to be an enchantress, and the Prince was turned into a beast. The staff was turned into items and tools, things they all used. Babette was turned into a feather duster, Lumiere a candlestick. But that didn't stop the two of them from being together.
One day, as they were hiding together and fooling around behind curtains, a girl had entered the castle, and the staff automatically lifted their heads in a mutual, optimistic thought... Could the girl break the spell?
The while the girl stayed at the castle, the whole staff did all they could to make the girl, Belle, and the Prince spend quality time together, such quality time that they might even fall in love.
There were some complications, and the girl left. But she came back. The town had formed a mob that came to the castle as well, but the staff managed to fight them off, and the Prince and the girl kissed. The spell was broken, and they finally were themselves again. They all were human again.
Ambitions: Get married to Lumiere, romantic as she is. As well as having lots of fun, and get friends.
Strengths & abilities: Babette is charming, and can wrap any man around her little finger. She is very tidy and neat, very good at her job, even though she has her distractions. Her romantic way of thinking makes her optimistic, and she is a good person.
Flaws: Being romantic often makes you naive. Babette can be a bit naive. She can be too flirty, and has an ambivalent relationship to her reputation.
Likes: Flirting, compliments, meeting new people, tidyness, romance, having something to do.
Dislikes: Being bored, when people mock her nationality or accent, and negativity.
Fears: A world without romance. Such a cold, cold place to live.
What makes this character unique: Her romantic optimism, and her fun accent, as well as her flirtyness.
RP SAMPLE:
(Let's pretend that she works at the Disney cafè...)
The maid moved quickly from table to table in the cafè, equipped with a moist cloth and a feather duster. Feather duster... Babette saw the ironi, and let out a small, sarcastic laughter. She had worked in a castle before she applied here. And feather duster... well, you can pretty much say that Babette knew the expression "be your work" pretty well.
This place was filthy. To say the least. The owners weren't the people who cared the most about cleaning before Babette came along looking for work.
Babette coughed out some dust that she had managed to breathe in, and had to crouch down to not cough at the guests, or show them her tear-filled eyes.
She gasped in a breathe or air, cursing in French.
Then she simply straightened up, fixed her uniform again and went back to her duties.
