Note: This is NOT a thread about Disney's Beauty and the Beast. It may have a story more similar to the Disney one than the original tale, and if even may take place during a similar, if not the same setting, but it doesn't have the same characters and it doesn't take place in the universe. It doesn't even take place in an alternate universe of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Sorry Disney fans, I like the Disney Beauty and the Beast movie, but this is not a thread based on the film.
Anyways, back on track.
I don't know why but this picture inspired me to make a thread around. I don't know, I'm weird. :P
Welcome to: A Beastly Situation, your typical Beauty and the Beast tale, but with a few differences. Once upon a time, there was a young princess named Arcene who ruled over the kingdom. One day, she was cursed by a powerful spirit, turning her into a monstrous beast, and her staff into anthropomorphic animals. The curse wiped the townsfolks' memory of Princess Arcene, the servants, and their castle, and it could only be broken if Arcene fell in love, and that same person loved her back. However, years later, a young boy around Arcene's age, accidentally trespassed on the castle ground. The princess was furious and locked him up in the dungeon. However, while the boy was locked up, Arcene's servants convinced her that he was the one and that she should get to know him so they'll fall in love and break the spell. The problem is, Arcene isn't in love with him. Instead, she has a crush on the young, kind head housekeeper around her age, who has been recently turned into a deer. Now Arcene has to decide whether to "fall in love" with the prisoner in order to make her servants happy by freeing them, or be with her true love. What happens next? That's for you to decide!
Adoptable Characters
These are already existing characters that you can play as. (Note: You still have to reserve them and make a form for them. Also, you don't have to use the pictures I chose if you don't want. Just wanted to give you a general visual aid.)
(Sorry I couldn't find an individual picture for this one.)
"The one to break the spell"-This is the guy they take as prisoner who the servants want Arcene to fall in love with.
Head Housekeeper-This is the kind and young head housekeeper who's been turned into a deer. She's also Arcene's crush.
Rules
- Nothing too inappropriate
- No fighting OOC, you can IC
- You can't kill or have a relationship with someone else's character unless it's okay with them
- No godmodding, Mary Sues, or other OP characters
- You can play as townspeople like a Gaston-type villain character, however, you might want to also play as someone else, as the majority of the thread will focus on the "one to break the spell", Arcene, the servants, and their castle.
- You can play as an OC or a character based on one of the pictures on the front page, however the only ones you can't play as that are on the front page is Lumiere (obviously), Cogsworth (obviously again), and the tree butler. (Because they're a tree not an anthropomorphic animal.
- Anthros, no gijinkas
- I might add more rules later, so be on the lookout
- This takes place during the same time as the Disney one, aka France in the 1700's, so no modern things like smartphones, etc. (obviously)
- Your character can be any age they want, however, I would prefer if "the one to break the spell", Arcene, and the head housekeeper were the same age, if not, around the same age.
- I know this takes place during the 1700's, but try not to discriminate. Everyone's welcome here!
- Have fun!
- Don't be afraid to ask questions, suggestions, etc.
- Also don't be afraid to create interesting subplots! The more drama and intrigue, the better!
- Write "Rose" in Other if you read all the rules.

My Character
Name: Arcene Dubois
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Gender Pronouns: She, Her, Her's
Sexuality: Asexual, Biromantic
Species: Human Beast (Basically a mixture of different animals)
Occupation: Princess
Personality: When you first meet Arcene, she is hot-headed and monstrous. She acts snarky and cold towards others. However, when you get to know her, Arcene's kind, warm-hearted and vulnerable. She's fairly intelligent with a quick wit, but isn't the best in social situations. She's nice and loves her staff and those around her, however, she acts mean and rude towards intruders and outsiders, as she isn't the best at communicating with strangers. She will do whatever it takes to protect the ones she loves, and tries to look cool and chill, as she can be sometimes. She's funny and has a soft spot for animals, cooking, books, knitting, and poetry.
History: Arcene was born into royalty, like your typical princess. However, her parents died early, leaving Arcene to rule the kingdom. Even though Arcene was old enough, the servants still had to take care of her, so Arcene developed a strong bond with most of her staff. Most recently her and her staff were cursed into becoming creatures, and spent their lives with each other, as that was all they had left. Until now.
Relationships (Parents, Siblings, Spouses, Crushes, kids, etc.): Father(Deseased), Mother(Deseased), Head Housekeeper(Crush)
Ideas for Plot: Maybe "the one to break the spell" falls in love with Arcene, but Arcene still has a crush on the head housekeeper and the head housekeeper has a crush on Arcene. (I know its dumb, but eh.)
Other: Rose
I'll make the RP thread once we get someone to play "the one to break the spell", the head housekeeper, and some of the staff and servants.
