Weedle McHairybug She was talking about Beaumont's version (which I don't think mentioned hair color either) she also said that because Disney portrays blondes as dumb (another thing I don't agree with) they are "under the orders of Satan" so... yeah. For what its worth I'm sure the original Beauty was thought of as blonde, as many fairytale heroines were (even Snow White who's known for her dark hair was originally blonde) since back then being blonde was the epitome of beauty. I always imagined Beauty/Belle as brunette mainly because of two historical Beauties and Beasts (Charles II of Spain and Marie Louise of Orleans and Petrus Gonsalvus and his wife Catherine), both "beauties" were brunette.
