About the Canon and the AU
Beauty Huston is the titular character from Robin McKinley's novelization of the Beauty and the Beast tale, Beauty. A basic overview of the canon can be found here.
Although the novel is set in a sort of vague fantasy-Enlightenment period, I tend mostly to play a version of the character that has been AU'd to a modern day setting.*
*However, she is also available in original fantasy flavor or WW2 AU.
The basic elements of the story remain the same: she has a father and two sisters, a brother-in-law, and a niece and a nephew. Her brother-in-law Ger is a mechanic, and Beauty's traditional love of horses has been translated to a love of engines and automobiles of every kind. She's a tomboy who loves poetry, roses, and dead languages. As of yet, she hasn't met her Beast.
To deal with the underage issue, this version of Beauty has been aged up to anywhere between 18 and 24, depending on the setting and plot interests.
She wears the lovely face of Sophia Bush.
