Alicia McDonald will portray Lamia “Beauty,” a reimagined version of the Grimm Brothers' character from ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ Unlike traditional or Disney interpretations, this version of Beauty faces darker, more complex challenges.
“Beauty and her husband, Beast, are one of the few Fable couples to survive centuries of marriage; they do struggle at points to make it work. When the series first opened, the Beast’s curse depended on Beauty’s feelings towards him: the angrier she was with him, the more bestial his appearance became. Beauty in the beginning does make the error of bringing up the dwarves in front of Snow, when she takes her advice too personally. It appears she feels she's been labeled as someone "married to money." As she was eager to enter Charming's contest for his royal title, he tried to sell. “
