Beauty

Beast's eventual beloved

Beauty is a quality that gives pleasure to the senses or elevates the mind and spirit.

It most often describes visual appeal—a beautiful face, landscape, or work of art—but extends to sounds, ideas, and experiences: the beauty of a well-crafted argument.

A beauty is a person or thing possessing this quality, or an outstanding example of something: That goal was a beauty.
