==Setting==
===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
Sora and his party arrive in, appropriately enough, the castle's '''Entrance Hall'''. They cannot go out the castle's main doors yet, but a small door to the east leads to the '''Parlor''', where they have an abrupt encounter with Beast and some [[Heartless]]. The Parlor also holds the world's [[Moogle]] shop, as well as a save point. To the north back in the Entrance Hall is a grand staircase that leads to both wings of the castle; going straight ahead takes the party into the magnificent '''Ballroom''', where a number of plot points take place.
In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the world retains the exact same appearance as in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', though Belle's Room, the Parlor, and '''The Beast's Room''' are no longer accessible. The latter area does however briefly appear in cutscene.


Going to the east takes the party to the '''East Wing''', where '''Belle's Room''' is. Here, she provides information, a few chests, and a save point. Going to the west takes the party to the much larger and more involved '''West Hall'''. Suits of armor block the stairs to the right, and so the only place Sora and his group can explore, once [[The Wardrobe]] is moved, is the '''Undercroft'''. After a boss battle, the party reaches the '''Dungeon''', where they meet Beast's servants and learn of the world's events. The group goes out of a secret passage in the Undercroft to the '''Secret Passage''', which allows them to sneak behind the armored suits blocking the stairs back in the West Hall. Entering the door opposite the Secret Passage takes the group to the '''West Wing''' proper, at the end of which is '''Beast's Room'''.
The only new area added to the world is passage accessed from the '''Courtyard''' called {{nihongo|'''{{a|Entrance Hall, Upper Level}}'''|エントランスホール:2階|Entoransu Hōru: Ni-kai|lit. "Entrance Hall: Second Floor}}, which has a door leading to the balcony in the '''Ballroom''' and a hole in wall which lets [[Roxas]] drop down to the main '''Entrance Hall'''.


During the second trip to Beast's Castle, the main doors of the Entrance Hall unlock, allowing Sora to access two more areas, the '''Courtyard''', full of fighting gargoyles, and the '''Bridge''', where the final confrontation with [[Xaldin]] takes place.

==Story==
==Story==
===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===
===''Kingdom Hearts χ''===
The world is featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. The storyline takes place before the events of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. It has been shown that all of the inhabitants from ''Kingdom Hearts II'' appear. In the game, [[Roxas]] helps [[Xaldin]] complete an assignment given by [[Organization XIII]], though it is not currently known what the mission is (Or any other missions that will be played in this world). It is during this mission that Xaldin discovers the Beast's strong heart, which leads to his manipulation in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Other gameplay pieces show that Roxas is also teamed up with [[Xion]] on a mission. A full voice acted cutscene also occurs where Xion battles a blindfolded [[Riku]]. A [[Darkside]]-like [[Heartless]] will also be fought here, in the ''West Hall''.
As [[Player]] enters the Castle, [[Chirithy]] notes how creepy it is before they are scared by a Heartless. Player battles the Heartless before they are aided by Beast, who then turns on Player and locks them up in the Castle Dungeon. Just as Player is about to use their Keyblade to escape, Belle appears and releases them with the Castle Servants. Belle apologizes for Beast's behavior before promising to help Player explain to Beast the misunderstanding. Belle leads Player to the West Wing and confronts Beast, who says the Heartless tried to take something precious from him. Belle encourages Beast to trust Player and help them get rid of the Heartless.
 
After ridding the Castle of Heartless, Beast reconciles with Belle and he surprises her with the Castle Library as a present. Player watches the couple dance before preparing to leave. However, as Chirithy comments on how quick it was clear the world, Belle runs past prompting Player to investigate. Following Belle into the Woods, they find her rescuing her Father from the snow storm. Belle asks Player to check on Beast for her so they return to the Castle. Unfortunately, Gaston and an army of heartless begin marching on the Castle, and while Player and the servants prepare to defend it, Beast is too heartbroken to care. As Player fights off the Heartless, they notice Gaston attacking Beast, luckily Belle appears in time to encourage him, but Gaston's darkness creates a powerful Heartless to attack her. Player manages to defeat it allowing Belle to enter the Castle. Beast fights back against Gaston and shows him  mercy, but as Beast reconciles with Belle, Gaston stabs him before falling from the roof to his death. As Beast lays dying, Belle confesses her love for him, causing him to transform back into his Human form as Prince Adam. Afterwards Prince Adam and Belle dance in the Ballroom, as Chirithy notes to Player that she is one of the precious lights of the world.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Union χ''===
Following the events of the [[Keyblade War]], Player and rest of the [[Dandelions]] lose their memories of the previous world, causing Player to relive their experiences in Beast's Castle. Player returns to the castle to check on Belle. Belle and Prince Adam are pleased to see Player, and Belle tells them of all the wonderful books she's read in the castle library, and how she now dreams of going off to see the world.
 
===''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road''===
Xehanort travels to Beast's Castle with Urd and Hermod, to continue their investigations into the upper classmen. After rescuing Chip from the Heartless, he takes the three Keyblade wielders to Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Wardrobe, who are surprised to see Urd, a girl in the castle, believing she may break the spell on their master. The servants explain that their master is in a frightful state after his rose was stolen, so the three Keyblade wielders agree to help out.  


On Roxas's first visit to Beast's Castle, he is on a simple mission to track down a Sergeant Heartless. He hears strange roars coming from inside the castle, but it isn't until he returns with Xion a couple of days later that he has a chance to properly investigate. They find the Castle strangely devoid of people, and can't help noticing the claw marks and huge footprints scattered around. The obvious assumption is that they've been caused by Heartless, but they also find breadcrumbs scattered outside, which seems to indicate that someone lives in the Castle and enjoys feeding birds.
They find Beast in his room who immediately attacks them, saying they look like the people who stole his rose. Urd tries to explain they are not responsible but Beast refuses to listen. Deciding its best to leave, the three Keyblade wielders make their way out of the castle but are attacked by two powerful Heartless. Xehanort and Hermod deal with one, while Urd pursues the other to the Ballroom, which turns out the be an ambush. However she is saved by Vala and Vali, two of the missing upper classmen. Vala comments that Urd's heart is strong and that she could be helpful to their mission. But Urd refuses to listen to Vala and asks if she stole the rose from Beast.


Roxas and Xion come across Lumiere, and are dumbfounded at the idea of a walking, talking candlestick - one that, from what he's muttering to himself, appears to be a servant of the castle. After sneaking past they find more footprints that appear to be leading towards the room of the Castle's Master, and hear another terrifying roar. When they dare to peek through the partly open door at the end of the hallway, they discover that the Master of the Castle has been turned into a monster - but a different kind of monster to the Heartless. On their way back to report to Saïx, Roxas thinks he overhears someone talking about "Lady Belle" in a side room.
Vala tells Urd that the rose is a key to this World's order, and that they took it in the hopes that it would lead them to the precious light that resides in this World. When Urd refuses again to go with them, Vali returns the rose, and he and Vala leave, though Xehanort manages to overhear the conversation from the doorway. Urd returns the Rose to Beast, who is very grateful and apologizes for his anger. Urd turns down Lumiere's offer to stay saying she has things she needs to do, but she does tell Lumiere to tell Beast that she knows his wish will come true one day.


On their next visit to Beast's Castle, Roxas and Xion are troubled by yet another animated object - Cogsworth is patrolling the halls. Again they sneak past in order to carry out their duties, wondering whether all the servants in the Castle have strange shapes like the two they've encountered.
===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===
On [[Maleficent]]'s orders, the [[Heartless]] attacked this world to capture [[Belle]], who was one of the [[Princesses of Heart]]. When Belle was captured, the world fell into darkness. However, the [[Beast]] was able to escape thanks to his strong will; his desire to find Belle would eventually lead him to [[Hollow Bastion]]. The world was restored after [[Sora]] defeated [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and destroyed the [[End of the World]].


A few weeks later, while Xion is still struggling to recover the ability to use her Keyblade, she and Roxas are sent to Beast's Castle to destroy a Neoshadow Heartless. When they observe Lumiere muttering to himself about how to reconcile the Master of the Castle and Belle, they wonder whether the two have been fighting over something - and Xion wonders aloud what sort of person it would take to fight with such a monster. They track down and manage to defeat the Neoshadow, but just as they're about to leave two more attack simultaneously. Before either Roxas or Xion can move, the Beast appears out of nowhere, dispatching the powerful Heartless with one swipe of his claws.

He hears strange roars coming from inside the castle, and he returns with Xion a couple of days later to properly investigate it. They find the castle strangely devoid of people and notice claw marks and huge footprints scattered around. They assume that they have been caused by Heartless, but they also find breadcrumbs scattered outside, which seems to indicate that someone lives in the castle and enjoys feeding birds.


As Roxas and Xion marvel at his strength, the Beast roars that he won't tolerate Heartless in his Castle. Roxas finds it strange that this monster is the owner of the Castle, and yet fighting to defend it - surely if the Organization's stronghold were under attack, it would be underlings like him and Xion, not their Master Xemnas, who would have to defend it. Why would the Beast fight so desperately when he clearly has servants of his own? Xion points out that the Beast may be fighting to protect something precious.

On their way back to report to Saïx, Roxas thinks he overhears someone talking about "Lady Belle" in a side room.


When Roxas and Xion are told that they'll be sent on separate missions, Xion's inability to use her Keyblade is almost revealed - Axel steps in to get them one last day together, and as a last resort Roxas lends Xion his Keyblade in the hope that it'll jog her memory. Together they fight their way through Heartless in the Beast's Castle, Roxas using a wooden stick as a weapon, and sure enough Xion regains the ability to summon her Keyblade.

Again, they sneak past in order to carry out their duties, wondering whether all the servants in the castle have strange shapes like the two they have encountered.


When Roxas later returns to Beast's Castle with Xaldin, the latter is intrigued by the Beast. He explains to Roxas that the Castle is cursed, and after listening in on servants' conversations they ascertain that there's some kind of time limit attached to the curse. They overhear Belle upset about the fact that she can do nothing to help the Beast's fight against the Heartless, but the Beast himself is nowhere to be seen.

Xion wonders aloud what sort of person it would take to fight with such a monster. They track down and manage to defeat the Neoshadow, but are then attacked by two more Neoshadows as they were about to leave. Before either Roxas or Xion can move, the Beast appears out of nowhere, dispatching the powerful Heartless with one swipe of his claws.


In the Beast's room, Xaldin and Roxas come across a strangely powerful and clearly unnatural rose. Xaldin believes that the rose must be what the Beast is fighting to protect - and that it can therefore be used as a weak point. A month later his suspicions appear to be confirmed, when on another mission he and Roxas overhear the Beast talking about how he must find a way to regain his former body before the rose wilts.
As Roxas and Xion marvel at his strength, the Beast roars that he will not tolerate Heartless in his castle. Roxas finds it strange that the master of the castle himself is fighting in its defense, knowing that for the Organization, it would be the underlings forced to risk their lives. Xion points out that the Beast may be willing to risk his life because he is fighting to protect what is precious to him.


On his 171st day in the Organization, Roxas arrives at Beast's Castle to hear a mighty roar coming from outside the walls - and suddenly the Beast's body is flung into the courtyard, unconscious. A giant Heartless is outside, and after a long battle Roxas manages to defeat it. As he comes back inside to check on the Beast, he is forced to duck out of site as Belle runs over. As Roxas listens to their conversation, he realizes that what the Beast is fighting to protect isn't the rose - it's his Castle and the people inside it. The Beast says it's his duty as the Castle's Master. Roxas realizes that Belle must be an important person to the Beast.
Xion's inability to use her Keyblade is almost revealed when Roxas and Xion are told that they will be sent on separate missions, but Axel steps in to get them one last day together, and as a last resort, Roxas lends Xion his Keyblade in the hope that it will jog her memory. Together, they fight their way through Heartless in the Beast's Castle, Roxas using a wooden stick as a weapon, and Xion regains the ability to summon her Keyblade at the end of the mission.


Presently, Xaldin appears behind Roxas, and sneers at this expression of love by the Beast. Roxas asks Xaldin what love is, and he says that the power of love is no more than a worthless emotion. Roxas doesn't understand what he means by the power of love, but Xaldin sees no point in trying to explain to a being without a heart - he simply comments that it's something he can use. Roxas wonders if the power of love is something created when a person fights to protect something precious to them.

He explains to Roxas that the castle is cursed, and after listening in on servants' conversations, they ascertain that there is some kind of time limit attached to the curse. They overhear Belle upset about the fact that she can do nothing to help the Beast's fight against the Heartless, but the Beast himself is nowhere to be seen.


Many days later, when Roxas is sent to retrieve Xaldin, who hasn't returned from the Beast's Castle, he discovers that something strange has happened. Belle and the servants are worried that the Beast has been acting strange, and when Roxas finds the Beast himself, he's furiously pacing and muttering to himself. It appears someone has told him that Belle is planning to betray him and steal everything he has. When Roxas overhears the servants talking about a suspicious man in a black coat, he realizes that Xaldin must be involved.

Finally finding Xaldin by the Castle gates, Roxas asks why he hadn't returned to the Organization yet. Xaldin is deliberately vague, saying only that he's been putting events in motion, and that in a little while things are sure to get interesting. Roxas suspects that Xaldin must have talked to the Beast, but can't figure out what Xaldin hopes to gain from all of it...

===='''First Visit'''====
Sora and his party enter the world and find themselves in the vast and abandoned Entrance Hall. Upon hearing a familiar growl in the distance, they identify it as that of their former ally Beast's; however, a Heartless scurries across the hall floor and leads them into the Parlor. They are surrounded by more Heartless, and Beast bursts in, laying waste to the [[Shadow]]s. But instead of greeting his old friends, he pushes them aside, only interested in rescuing a rose in a bell jar on a nearby table. Confused, the party decides to go in search of answers.


Arriving in the East Wing, they hear another familiar voice lamenting from a nearby room, soon finding another old friend, Belle. Happy to see them, she tells them more about Beast's strange behavior; he has become extremely withdrawn, even going so far as to lock all of the castle servants in the West Hall dungeons. Sora, Donald, and Goofy decide to help her; they sneak into the dungeons amidst Heartless, a sleeping Wardrobe, and a dangerous guardian. There, they are greeted by the servants, who are happy to be free, but concerned about their master's strange behavior. Cogsworth guides the group through a secret passage into the West Wing, where they hope to find Beast.

When Roxas overhears the servants talking about a suspicious man in a black coat, he realizes that Xaldin must be involved.


Meanwhile, Xaldin is with Beast in his room, feeding him lies about the castle inhabitants and especially Belle. The Beast only seeks her love, but Xaldin taunts Beast and encourages to unleash his anger on those who would try to steal or destroy his precious rose. With bad timing, Sora and his party arrive; enraged at the intrusion, the party is forced to fight Beast with help from Cogsworth. After having some sense beat into him, Beast reveals Xaldin is behind his strange behavior, turning his sadness into rage in an attempt to make him turn to the [[Darkness]].

Beast goes to apologize to Belle, but before he can, he and the others hear Belle cry out for help from the Ballroom, where Xaldin has set the Shadow Stalker upon her. After a long and hard battle, it is defeated; Xaldin disappears. Sora explains to Beast about the [[Nobody|Nobodies]] and [[Organization XIII]], including how they probably wanted Beast's would-be Nobody on their side. Beast apologizes to Belle for his actions, but Belle scolds him for not trusting her. The servants worry about their relationship, and Lumiere and Cogsworth explain the importance of the rose to the curse. Sora then uses the rose to unlock the gate to the next world.

Instead of greeting his old friends, he pushes them aside, only interested in rescuing a rose in a bell jar on a nearby table. Confused, the party decides to go in search of answers.


===='''Second Visit'''====
The party walks out of the Parlor, and Donald notices someone on the stairs, but she quickly leaves before Donald can identify who. Sora and friends conclude it must have been Belle and decide to investigate and head for the East Wing of the castle. Arriving in the East Wing, they hear another familiar voice lamenting from a nearby room. After bursting into the room, they are reunited with Belle. Happy to see them, she tells them more about Beast's strange behavior: he has become extremely withdrawn, even going so far as to lock all of the castle servants in the West Hall dungeons. Sora, Donald, and Goofy decide to help her; they sneak into the dungeons amidst Heartless, a sleeping Wardrobe, and a dangerous guardian. There, they are greeted by the servants, who are happy to be free, but concerned about their master's strange behavior. Cogsworth guides the group through a secret passage into the West Wing, where they hope to find Beast.
Sora and the gang arrive just in time for a ball that Beast is holding for Belle. Donald decides to crash it, but unfortunately so do Xaldin and his [[Dragoon]]s. While the Dragoons keep the heroes busy, Xaldin makes off with the rose. Beast loses his temper and blames Belle for giving Xaldin the opportunity to take it; he then asks Belle to leave the castle so she won't have to bear with his temper and ugly ways. Belle is upset, but she agrees to let Sora handle things and leaves. Sora chews out Beast for his behavior towards her and giving up so easily. Beast decides to go talk with her again.


On their way, they are stopped in the Entrance Hall by Xaldin, bearing the rose. He lets the group know of Organization XIII's goal to reach [[Kingdom Hearts (Combined Heart)|Kingdom Hearts]], and confirms Sora's theory of why he is trying to control Beast. He then vanishes.
Meanwhile, Xaldin is with Beast in his room, feeding him lies about the castle inhabitants and especially Belle. The Beast only seeks her love, but Xaldin taunts Beast and encourages to unleash his anger on those who would try to steal or destroy his precious rose. With bad timing, Sora and his party arrive; enraged at the intrusion, the party is forced to fight Beast with help from Cogsworth. After having some sense beat into him, Beast reveals Xaldin is behind his strange behavior, turning his sadness into rage in an attempt to make him turn to the [[darkness]].


Looking for him, the party goes outside. They see Belle, looking heartbroken out on her balcony. She spots the group, who warn her to return to the castle's safety, but on her way inside she sees the rose sitting nearby. Triumphant, she shows them, only to be grabbed from behind by Xaldin. He leaps away to the Bridge with her and the rose, and the group follows in hot pursuit. There, he gloats and offers Beast a choice: he can take either the rose or Belle, while Xaldin takes the other. However, the resourceful Belle elbows Xaldin in the stomach, snatches the rose away, and runs for safety, leaving Xaldin alone to fight a very angry Beast, Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Although he throws everything he has at them, Sora and company are ultimately triumphant. In his defeat, Xaldin disintegrates into nothingness.
Beast goes to apologize to Belle, but before he can, he and the others hear Belle cry out for help from the Ballroom, where Xaldin has set the Shadow Stalker upon her. After a long and hard battle, it is defeated but Xaldin had disappeared. Sora explains to Beast about the [[Nobodies]] and [[Organization XIII]], including how they probably wanted Beast's would-be Nobody on their side. Beast apologizes to Belle for his actions, but Belle scolds him for not trusting her. The servants worry about their relationship, and Lumière and Cogsworth explain the importance of the rose to the curse. Sora then uses the rose to unlock the gate to the next world.


Belle and the Beast reunite. Belle hands him the rose and reluctantly offers to leave. Beast confesses that what's important is that Belle was not hurt, and stutters his gratitude to her for saving the rose. The others then encourage a stammering Beast to tell her that he wants her to stay. She replies by offering her hand and saying she will. The two then dance around the Courtyard, having their ball at last.
During Sora and the gang's second visit to the castle, they arrive in time for a ball that Beast is holding for Belle. Unfortunately, Xaldin and his [[Dragoon]]s invades the ballroom and attacks the group. While the Dragoons keep the heroes busy, Xaldin makes off with the rose. Beast loses his temper and blames Belle for giving Xaldin the opportunity to take it; he then asks Belle to leave the castle so she won't have to bear with his temper and ugly ways. Belle is upset, but she agrees to let Sora handle things and leaves. Sora scolds Beast for his behavior towards her and giving up so easily. Beast decides to go talk with her again.
 
On their way, they are stopped in the Entrance Hall by Xaldin, bearing the rose. He lets the group know of Organization XIII's goal to reach [[Kingdom Hearts]], and confirms Sora's theory of why he is trying to control Beast before vanishing.
 
Looking for him, the party goes outside. They see Belle, looking heartbroken out on her balcony. She spots the group, who warn her to return to the castle's safety, but on her way inside she sees the rose sitting nearby. Triumphant, she shows them, only to be grabbed from behind by Xaldin. He leaps away to the Bridge with her and the rose, and the group follows in hot pursuit. There, he gloats and offers Beast a choice: he can take either the rose or Belle, while Xaldin takes the other. However, the resourceful Belle elbows Xaldin in the stomach, snatches the rose away, and runs for safety; leaving Xaldin alone to fight a very angry Beast, Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Although he throws everything he has at them, Sora and company are ultimately triumphant. In his defeat, Xaldin disintegrates into nothingness.
 
When Belle and the Beast reunite, Belle hands him the rose and reluctantly offers to leave. Beast confesses that what's important is that Belle was not hurt, and stutters his gratitude to her for saving the rose. The others then encourage a stammering Beast to tell her that he wants her to stay. She replies by offering her hand and saying she will. The two then dance around the Courtyard, having their ball at last.
 
Some time after the defeat of Xemnas, the spell breaks and the Beast turns back into the Prince. Belle and the Prince hold a ball to celebrate.

Beast's Castle is a world introduced in Kingdom Hearts II. It is based on the Disney film Beauty and the Beast.

Taking place entirely within and on the grounds of a Loire Valley-styled castle in old France; Sora, Donald, and Goofy reunite with their friends Beast and Belle, who they had met at Hollow Bastion in Kingdom Hearts.

Like the first game, Beast will eventually join and fight alongside Sora's party in this area. In addition, several characters new to the Kingdom Hearts universe are introduced, most notably the servants of the Castle, including Cogsworth, Lumière, and Mrs. Potts.

Settings and Areas[edit]

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

The Ballroom during the battle against the Dark Thorn.

Sora and his party arrive at the castle's Entrance Hall (エントランスホール Entoransu Hōru?). A door to the east leads to the small Parlor (居間 Ima?), which holds the world's Moogle Shop, as well as a save point. To the north back in the Entrance Hall is a grand staircase that leads to both wings of the castle; going straight ahead takes the party to the magnificent Ballroom (ダンスホール Dansu Hōru?, lit. "Dance Hall").

Going to the east takes the party to The East Wing (東の棟 Higashi no Tō?) corridor, where Belle's Room (ベルの部屋 Beru no Heya?) is located. Another save point can be found here. Going to the west from the Entrance Hall leads to the much larger and more involved The West Hall (西のホール Nishi no Hōru?). Suits of armor are placed along the walls, and a pair also block the stairs to the right, forcing Sora and party to head for the dusty Undercroft (地下倉庫 Chika Sōko?, lit. "Underground Storage"), where the Thresholder is fought.

After the boss battle, the party reaches the Dungeon (地下牢 Chika Rō?), where they meet Beast's servants and learn of the world's events. The group leaves the Undercroft through the Secret Passage (抜け道 Nukemichi?), which allows them to sneak behind the armored suits blocking the stairs back at the West Hall. Entering the door opposite the Secret Passage's exit takes the group to The West Wing (西の棟 Nishi no Tō?) proper, at the end of which is The Beast's Room (ビーストの部屋 Bīsuto no Heya?), which has been torn to shreds.

The main doors of the Entrance Hall lead outside to the Courtyard (庭 Niwa?), full of fighting gargoyles. During the second visit to the castle, the doors in the Courtyard unlock, allowing access to the Bridge (橋 Hashi?), where the final confrontation with Xaldin takes place.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the world retains the exact same appearance as in Kingdom Hearts II, though Belle's Room, the Parlor, and The Beast's Room are no longer accessible. The latter area does however briefly appear in cutscene.

The only new area added to the world is passage accessed from the Courtyard called Entrance Hall, Upper Level (エントランスホール:2階 Entoransu Hōru: Ni-kai?, lit. "Entrance Hall: Second Floor), which has a door leading to the balcony in the Ballroom and a hole in wall which lets Roxas drop down to the main Entrance Hall.

Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts χ[edit]

As Player enters the Castle, Chirithy notes how creepy it is before they are scared by a Heartless. Player battles the Heartless before they are aided by Beast, who then turns on Player and locks them up in the Castle Dungeon. Just as Player is about to use their Keyblade to escape, Belle appears and releases them with the Castle Servants. Belle apologizes for Beast's behavior before promising to help Player explain to Beast the misunderstanding. Belle leads Player to the West Wing and confronts Beast, who says the Heartless tried to take something precious from him. Belle encourages Beast to trust Player and help them get rid of the Heartless.

After ridding the Castle of Heartless, Beast reconciles with Belle and he surprises her with the Castle Library as a present. Player watches the couple dance before preparing to leave. However, as Chirithy comments on how quick it was clear the world, Belle runs past prompting Player to investigate. Following Belle into the Woods, they find her rescuing her Father from the snow storm. Belle asks Player to check on Beast for her so they return to the Castle. Unfortunately, Gaston and an army of heartless begin marching on the Castle, and while Player and the servants prepare to defend it, Beast is too heartbroken to care. As Player fights off the Heartless, they notice Gaston attacking Beast, luckily Belle appears in time to encourage him, but Gaston's darkness creates a powerful Heartless to attack her. Player manages to defeat it allowing Belle to enter the Castle. Beast fights back against Gaston and shows him mercy, but as Beast reconciles with Belle, Gaston stabs him before falling from the roof to his death. As Beast lays dying, Belle confesses her love for him, causing him to transform back into his Human form as Prince Adam. Afterwards Prince Adam and Belle dance in the Ballroom, as Chirithy notes to Player that she is one of the precious lights of the world.

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[edit]

Following the events of the Keyblade War, Player and rest of the Dandelions lose their memories of the previous world, causing Player to relive their experiences in Beast's Castle. Player returns to the castle to check on Belle. Belle and Prince Adam are pleased to see Player, and Belle tells them of all the wonderful books she's read in the castle library, and how she now dreams of going off to see the world.

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road[edit]

Xehanort travels to Beast's Castle with Urd and Hermod, to continue their investigations into the upper classmen. After rescuing Chip from the Heartless, he takes the three Keyblade wielders to Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Wardrobe, who are surprised to see Urd, a girl in the castle, believing she may break the spell on their master. The servants explain that their master is in a frightful state after his rose was stolen, so the three Keyblade wielders agree to help out.

They find Beast in his room who immediately attacks them, saying they look like the people who stole his rose. Urd tries to explain they are not responsible but Beast refuses to listen. Deciding its best to leave, the three Keyblade wielders make their way out of the castle but are attacked by two powerful Heartless. Xehanort and Hermod deal with one, while Urd pursues the other to the Ballroom, which turns out the be an ambush. However she is saved by Vala and Vali, two of the missing upper classmen. Vala comments that Urd's heart is strong and that she could be helpful to their mission. But Urd refuses to listen to Vala and asks if she stole the rose from Beast.

Vala tells Urd that the rose is a key to this World's order, and that they took it in the hopes that it would lead them to the precious light that resides in this World. When Urd refuses again to go with them, Vali returns the rose, and he and Vala leave, though Xehanort manages to overhear the conversation from the doorway. Urd returns the Rose to Beast, who is very grateful and apologizes for his anger. Urd turns down Lumiere's offer to stay saying she has things she needs to do, but she does tell Lumiere to tell Beast that she knows his wish will come true one day.

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts[edit]

On Maleficent's orders, the Heartless attacked this world to capture Belle, who was one of the Princesses of Heart. When Belle was captured, the world fell into darkness. However, the Beast was able to escape thanks to his strong will; his desire to find Belle would eventually lead him to Hollow Bastion. The world was restored after Sora defeated Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and destroyed the End of the World.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days[edit]

On Roxas's first visit to Beast's Castle, he is to track down a Sergeant Heartless. He hears strange roars coming from inside the castle, and he returns with Xion a couple of days later to properly investigate it. They find the castle strangely devoid of people and notice claw marks and huge footprints scattered around. They assume that they have been caused by Heartless, but they also find breadcrumbs scattered outside, which seems to indicate that someone lives in the castle and enjoys feeding birds.

Roxas and Xion come across Lumière, and are dumbfounded at the idea of a walking, talking candlestick who appears to be a servant of the castle. After sneaking past, they find more footprints that appear to be leading towards the room of the castle's master, and hear another terrifying roar. When they dare to peek through the partly open door at the end of the hallway, they discover that the master of the castle has been turned into a monster different kind from the Heartless. On their way back to report to Saïx, Roxas thinks he overhears someone talking about "Lady Belle" in a side room.

On their next visit to Beast's Castle, Roxas and Xion are troubled by yet another animated object, Cogsworth, is patrolling the halls. Again, they sneak past in order to carry out their duties, wondering whether all the servants in the castle have strange shapes like the two they have encountered.

A few weeks later, while Xion is still struggling to recover the ability to use her Keyblade, she and Roxas are sent to Beast's Castle to destroy a Neoshadow Heartless. When they observe Lumière muttering to himself about how to reconcile the master of the castle and Belle, they wonder whether the two have been fighting over something. Xion wonders aloud what sort of person it would take to fight with such a monster. They track down and manage to defeat the Neoshadow, but are then attacked by two more Neoshadows as they were about to leave. Before either Roxas or Xion can move, the Beast appears out of nowhere, dispatching the powerful Heartless with one swipe of his claws.

As Roxas and Xion marvel at his strength, the Beast roars that he will not tolerate Heartless in his castle. Roxas finds it strange that the master of the castle himself is fighting in its defense, knowing that for the Organization, it would be the underlings forced to risk their lives. Xion points out that the Beast may be willing to risk his life because he is fighting to protect what is precious to him.

Xion's inability to use her Keyblade is almost revealed when Roxas and Xion are told that they will be sent on separate missions, but Axel steps in to get them one last day together, and as a last resort, Roxas lends Xion his Keyblade in the hope that it will jog her memory. Together, they fight their way through Heartless in the Beast's Castle, Roxas using a wooden stick as a weapon, and Xion regains the ability to summon her Keyblade at the end of the mission.

When Roxas later returns to Beast's Castle with Xaldin, the latter is intrigued by the Beast. He explains to Roxas that the castle is cursed, and after listening in on servants' conversations, they ascertain that there is some kind of time limit attached to the curse. They overhear Belle upset about the fact that she can do nothing to help the Beast's fight against the Heartless, but the Beast himself is nowhere to be seen.

In the Beast's room, Xaldin and Roxas come across a strangely powerful and clearly unnatural rose. Xaldin believes that the rose must be what the Beast is fighting to protect, and can therefore be used as a weak point. A month later, his suspicions appear to be confirmed, when on another mission he and Roxas overhear the Beast talking about how he must find a way to regain his former body before the rose wilts.

On his 171st day in the Organization, Roxas arrives at Beast's Castle to hear a mighty roar coming from outside the walls, and suddenly the Beast's body is flung into the courtyard, unconscious. A giant Heartless is outside, and after a long battle, Roxas manages to defeat it. As he comes back inside to check on the Beast, he is forced to hide as Belle runs over. As Roxas listens to their conversation, he realizes that the Beast is fighting to protect his castle and the people inside it, not the rose. The Beast says it is his duty as the castle's master. Roxas realizes that Belle must be an important person to the Beast.

Xaldin appears behind Roxas, and sneers at this expression of love by the Beast. Roxas asks Xaldin what love is, and he says that the power of love is no more than a worthless emotion. Roxas does not understand what he means by the power of love, but Xaldin sees no point in trying to explain to a being without a heart and simply comments that it is something he can use. Roxas wonders if the power of love is something created when a person fights to protect something precious to them.

Many days later when Roxas is sent to retrieve Xaldin, who hasn't returned from the Beast's Castle, he discovers that something strange has happened. Belle and the servants are worried that the Beast has been acting strange, and when Roxas finds the Beast himself, he is furiously pacing and muttering to himself. It appears someone has told him that Belle is planning to betray him and steal everything he has. When Roxas overhears the servants talking about a suspicious man in a black coat, he realizes that Xaldin must be involved.

Finally finding Xaldin by the castle gates, Roxas asks why he hadn't returned to the Organization yet. Xaldin is deliberately vague, saying only that he's been putting events in motion, and that in a little while things are sure to get interesting. Roxas suspects that Xaldin must have talked to the Beast, but can't figure out what Xaldin hopes to gain from all of it.

Kingdom Hearts II[edit]

Sora and his party enter the world and find themselves in the vast and abandoned Entrance Hall. Upon hearing a familiar growl in the distance, they identify it as that of their former ally Beast's; however, a Heartless scurries across the hall floor and leads them into the Parlor. They are surrounded by more Heartless, but Beast bursts in, laying waste to the Shadows. Instead of greeting his old friends, he pushes them aside, only interested in rescuing a rose in a bell jar on a nearby table. Confused, the party decides to go in search of answers.

The party walks out of the Parlor, and Donald notices someone on the stairs, but she quickly leaves before Donald can identify who. Sora and friends conclude it must have been Belle and decide to investigate and head for the East Wing of the castle. Arriving in the East Wing, they hear another familiar voice lamenting from a nearby room. After bursting into the room, they are reunited with Belle. Happy to see them, she tells them more about Beast's strange behavior: he has become extremely withdrawn, even going so far as to lock all of the castle servants in the West Hall dungeons. Sora, Donald, and Goofy decide to help her; they sneak into the dungeons amidst Heartless, a sleeping Wardrobe, and a dangerous guardian. There, they are greeted by the servants, who are happy to be free, but concerned about their master's strange behavior. Cogsworth guides the group through a secret passage into the West Wing, where they hope to find Beast.

Meanwhile, Xaldin is with Beast in his room, feeding him lies about the castle inhabitants and especially Belle. The Beast only seeks her love, but Xaldin taunts Beast and encourages to unleash his anger on those who would try to steal or destroy his precious rose. With bad timing, Sora and his party arrive; enraged at the intrusion, the party is forced to fight Beast with help from Cogsworth. After having some sense beat into him, Beast reveals Xaldin is behind his strange behavior, turning his sadness into rage in an attempt to make him turn to the darkness.

Beast goes to apologize to Belle, but before he can, he and the others hear Belle cry out for help from the Ballroom, where Xaldin has set the Shadow Stalker upon her. After a long and hard battle, it is defeated but Xaldin had disappeared. Sora explains to Beast about the Nobodies and Organization XIII, including how they probably wanted Beast's would-be Nobody on their side. Beast apologizes to Belle for his actions, but Belle scolds him for not trusting her. The servants worry about their relationship, and Lumière and Cogsworth explain the importance of the rose to the curse. Sora then uses the rose to unlock the gate to the next world.

During Sora and the gang's second visit to the castle, they arrive in time for a ball that Beast is holding for Belle. Unfortunately, Xaldin and his Dragoons invades the ballroom and attacks the group. While the Dragoons keep the heroes busy, Xaldin makes off with the rose. Beast loses his temper and blames Belle for giving Xaldin the opportunity to take it; he then asks Belle to leave the castle so she won't have to bear with his temper and ugly ways. Belle is upset, but she agrees to let Sora handle things and leaves. Sora scolds Beast for his behavior towards her and giving up so easily. Beast decides to go talk with her again.

On their way, they are stopped in the Entrance Hall by Xaldin, bearing the rose. He lets the group know of Organization XIII's goal to reach Kingdom Hearts, and confirms Sora's theory of why he is trying to control Beast before vanishing.

Looking for him, the party goes outside. They see Belle, looking heartbroken out on her balcony. She spots the group, who warn her to return to the castle's safety, but on her way inside she sees the rose sitting nearby. Triumphant, she shows them, only to be grabbed from behind by Xaldin. He leaps away to the Bridge with her and the rose, and the group follows in hot pursuit. There, he gloats and offers Beast a choice: he can take either the rose or Belle, while Xaldin takes the other. However, the resourceful Belle elbows Xaldin in the stomach, snatches the rose away, and runs for safety; leaving Xaldin alone to fight a very angry Beast, Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Although he throws everything he has at them, Sora and company are ultimately triumphant. In his defeat, Xaldin disintegrates into nothingness.

When Belle and the Beast reunite, Belle hands him the rose and reluctantly offers to leave. Beast confesses that what's important is that Belle was not hurt, and stutters his gratitude to her for saving the rose. The others then encourage a stammering Beast to tell her that he wants her to stay. She replies by offering her hand and saying she will. The two then dance around the Courtyard, having their ball at last.

Some time after the defeat of Xemnas, the spell breaks and the Beast turns back into the Prince. Belle and the Prince hold a ball to celebrate.
