Disney princess

There are many princesses in Disney movies. My favorite is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Although other princesses like Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty are more famous than her, I like Belle the best. Because, these princesses are just waiting for princes. But Belle, who is usually calm and book-warm lady is sometime active and courage full when she goes to the forest to help her father or she care the beast. She is not just waits for everything, but does something by herself that she decided to. So, I like her the best! (95 words)
