LeFou Beauty and the Beast Side Character Lackey of Gaston's
LeFou is clumsy, loyal to the right cause, and free thinking.
Everyone has heard my story. I am the only true friend of Gaston. I am by his side because I choose to be. I've watched him grow and become the person he is today. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I've watched him go after everything he's wanted. I've helped him with his adventures.
But do you know what happens when the story ends? When we return to the island and wait for our story to be told again? No… Well you are in for a treat.
Once we returned to the island things were going Gaston's way. I wasn't sure exactly if I was aligned with the way the villains were running things. I've been playing both sides of the fence. Keeping the Villains happy by doing their bidding. Keeping the Heroes and Heroines happy by feeding them information. I'm still trying to find my place and where my loyalties really lie.
Belle: LeFou is meant to watch Belle in secret but he doesn’t do a good job at it. She always knows he is there and she tolerates it because she does not want him going back to Gaston telling him that she’s doing things that would harm her father and for all she knows Prince Adam. There are times she will interact with him intentionally so she knows he’s not doing a good job at sneaking around.
Beast: In the story he’s with the villain. On the Island it’s a change. While Belle thinks he is tasked with watching her for Gaston it’s really Beast. LeFou does not agree with the changes that are happening on the island. He’s agreed to keep an eye on Belle until Beast can get out but he cannot help the heroes or risk death by the villains. Beast cannot live with the thought that he would bring on someone’s death and agrees that it is safer for him to just watch Belle. While LeFou seems genuine that he does not approve of the changes Beast is still careful of him.
Gaston: Gaston and Lefou get along well for the most part. However, Gaston is starting to question Lefou’s intentions. He feels that his sidekick is not with the rest of the villains and their plans. He’ll do what he needs to in order to keep order even if it means eventually locking his own lackey away from the rest of The Island.
Maurice: Lefou is often feeding Maurice information about the outside world when he brings meals down for the heroes. Every once in awhile the information that Lefou feeds Maurice is not correct and it brings down Gaston's wrath upon Maurice or any of the other heroes who use it.
Lumiere: LeFou has not yet told him that Mrs. Potts suffered being shattered as her teapot form. He's helped keep Lumiere hidden to the best of his ability. He told Lumiere that if Gaston asked he did not know that he was in the cell with the Beast. He was trying to protect more people.
Cogsworth: LeFou has only had interaction with Cogsworth within the story. He's been trying to find out where he is on The Island but Cogsworth is being stubborn and not sharing that information with LeFou. Cogsworth does not know where his loyatlies lay and for Cogsworth that's a big deal.
Mrs. Potts: He wishes he could have saved her on The Island. He was there when Gaston shattered her in her tea pot form. He only interacts with her in the story but even in the story she understands that he didn't mean for what happened to her to happen. He had been trying to save them before Gaston could get to them but he was to late.
