Cogsworth: Difference between revisions

Both Lumiere and Cogsworth serve as watch guards of Beast's Castle, forcing [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]] to evade their sight.

Cogsworth is a loyal servant to the Beast, and one of Lumiere's closest friends. Although he means well, Cogsworth's serious demeanor and strict adherence to the rules often puts a strain on his relationship with the other servants. Oftentimes Cogsworth's bossy attitude comes from his inclination to worry. Despite this, Cogsworth is able to get along with others, as shown in helping Sora through the Secret Passage. Like the other servants, Cogsworth wishes for the Beast to find true love, removing the enchantreess' spell.

Cogsworth is originally from the film ''{{w|Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Beauty and the Beast}}''. In the film, Cogsworth and the other castle's residents were turned into household objects (in Cogsworth's case, a mantel clock) by an enchantress as punishment for Prince Adam's cold heart. Many years later, Belle's father, Maurice, stumbles in the castle to escape wild wolves and while Lumiere and the other servants warmly welcomes him, Cogsworth vehemently opposed the idea of allowing a stranger into the castle due to their master's rules. However, the prince (now known as the Beast) discovers this and locks Maurice away in the dungeon while Cogsworth and the others sadly watch. When Belle comes to the castle in search for her father, Cogsworth and Lumiere was bickering over the event when they saw her come in. Belle exchanged herself as Beast's prisoner and later refuses to dine with him, but later journeys into the dining room where Cogsworth participates (unwillingly) in Lumiere's performance to entertain her.

Later, Cogsworth and Lumiere provide Belle with a tour of the castle, warning her that she is free to go anywhere but the West Wing. Throughout the rest of the film, Cogsworth and the other servants observe Beast and Belle's budding romance, giving them hope that the curse will be broken and they will revert into humans. However, Beast releases Belle so she could go care for her sick father and Cogsworth was the first to hear of the news. He informs of the others, and became quite exasperated of the idea of Belle being the one to break the curse. When Gaston (the film's antagonist) storms the castle with angry villagers, Cogsworth and the others defend it. Once Beast and Belle confess their love for each other, the curse was broken and Lumiere and the castle's residents transform back into humans. At the ball that was being held to celebrate, Cogsworth and Lumiere got into another argument about who foretold the fact that Belle would break to spell first, which quickly escalates into a brawl.
