Hi. I noticed that you removed the Belle edits on her infobox relating to her being condescending. Maybe I'm the one who erred, maybe not, no way to know for now. However, I might as well explain at least why we even had it up. In the opening song, she basically dismissed her own village as being "provincial" and the town as being of "little people," and she effectively rolled her eyes when the baker had to call for baquettes. Last time I checked, some of the things she said and did would in fact qualify under the definition of "conceit," as she seemed to have the viewpoint that she was basically better than anyone else. I also tried to carefully word it to such an extent that it didn't come across as dissing her, hence the term "slightly conceited (initially)." I usually try to be very careful on this wiki on how to do things.

I'd understand her views about the village if it were comparable to, say, Quahog or Springfield or South Park or, heck, Gotham City, since their broken societies, lawless acts, people dying left and right, and corrupt governments with little, if any hope of things getting better, would definitely be very good reasons to loathe the place. However, hero-worship of Gaston aside, I'm not particularly sure how bad it was, not to mention Belle specifically mentioned she wanted to get away from the village and its provincial life. Even Batman/Bruce Wayne never dissed Gotham City in that matter, and he isn't particularly a big fan of the overwhelming corruption in that city anyways. Although Ariel was similar to Belle in that she wanted to live in another place, even she didn't effectively look down upon her species and home, unlike what Belle basically did in her opening song. That's why Belle was conceited, albeit slightly.

Again, maybe I've erred, maybe I'm letting extremely bad experiences in College regarding professors who have an axe to grind against Christianity, heterosexual males, and pretty much anything standardly considered moral, and promote lots of leftist causes under the sun, plus reading up on how intellectuals such as Sartre, Marx, Rousseau, Nietzsche, Voltaire, and the like promote extremely vile behavior and views, with it showing with some of the carnage such as the Communist revolutions, the French Revolution, and terrorism in Africa up to this day, but I thought I should at least give you an understanding of why its in there. I may not particularly trust Belle right now, largely due to a horrible college experiences where intellectuals of her caliber, mostly the humanities, basically pushed a lot of anti-Christian propaganda on us, and promoted decadence of the 1960s-1970s, but I do respect her for her intelligence, and I do somewhat like her, and until Spring 2011, I did have sympathy for Belle (not as much as the Beast or Ariel, since they rang home with me more due to my being Autistic and having to work very hard at overcoming challenges caused by my autism, but it was still prevalent at that time).
