CHARACTER
Name: Cogsworth
Canon: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (animated canon)
Timeline: After Maurice is taken as the Beast’s prisoner, but before Belle comes to the castle.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: n/a
Personality: We are expecting at least THREE well-written paragraphs minimum, with references to canon examples of your character’s personality. Please provide us with insight to your character and their behaviour, as well as your understanding of them.
Cogsworth is the chief steward/major domo of the Beast’s castle. As such, his job (before the unfortunate incident that left him in his present state) was to manage (and micromanage) the Prince’s affairs. It fell on his broad shoulders to keep the castle running smoothly, and he demonstrates a strong sense of decorum and propriety. As a human, he kept a pocketwatch ever present on his jacket, as it was his duty to keep the castle running on time and on schedule. An example of his micromanaging tendencies is right in between “Something There” and “Human Again”, when he assigns all of the servants to make the castle gleam in order to facilitate a more romantic atmosphere for Belle and the Beast.
He is the stop having fun guy. He is the one responsible for telling all of the other servants what to do, and he does his job with gusto. It’s entirely possible that once upon a time, he actually did so effectively, and the other servants listened to him. However, the time spent under the spell has made many of the other objects/former servants complacent in their roles in the household, and Cogsworth’s power over them has weakened significantly. The only other servants he seems to have any kind of rapport with are Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, and Chip (mostly through Mrs. Potts).
His relationship with Lumiere could possibly be best described as brotherly. Even “bromantic”.
First Person: [He prefers to use the voice function, so that he can merely turn it on, set the watch down, and then pace about and dictate. It’s much easier than finding something to prop it up against were he to make a video, or using tiny metal hands to attempt to make a text post.
Too bad, too, because as he paces back and forth, he gestures wildly with his little metal arms.]
Well now, it seems that someone thought that they were being cute. Funny, perhaps? Oh ha ha, let’s all have a good laugh at poor old Cogsworth, he’s too short to reach doorknobs. Let’s close the door while he’s asleep and shut him in! Yes, that’s a splendid idea!
[He stops pacing and clears his throat.]
It may come as a surprise to some of you, but I’m less than amused. Whoever was responsible for this childish prank can just step forward and fix it posthaste, before I get truly angry! Did no one teach any of you any manners? Really!
[Sotto voce, more to himself.] I didn’t even have to put up with treatment like this back in the castle! Of course, it does make a difference when the doors can open and shut themselves...
