May Belle Aarons

May Belle Aarons is a character from Bridge to Terabithia. She is one of Jess Aarons' younger sisters.

Role in the film
May Belle is described as the only one of Jess' siblings with whom he feels comfortable. However, because she is six years to Jess' ten, she does not fit the mould of the ideal confidante to Jess, leaving him still desperate for companionship. She clearly worships him from the beginning, and like him feels that she does not have a place in the family. She is the first of his sisters to learn about Terabithia, and becomes princess after Leslie dies. She is the only one Jess allows to enter into his world and the only one who has any sort of empathy for, or acceptance of, Jess in his family.
