Adam

Adam is Belle's love interest.

Beauty and the Beast
In the past, Adam was spoiled and selfish, when a witch but disguised as an old woman came and knocked on the castle's door for protection from the cold. Adam refuses and was cursed and transformed into a beast by the woman. She also cursed the whole castle. The spell will be broken if he could learn to love a woman and earn her love in return by the time the last petal of the rose the witch gave fell. But if he failed, he would remain a beast forever. Other things coming soon...
