Belle

Belle is a big blue tank engine with added water canyons attached to her side tanks and a brass bell above her cab. Because of her size, she would seem very intimidating if she wasn't so nice. She is part of the Search and Rescue Team. It's hinted that she may have a crush on Thomas or Flynn, but nothing so far is confirmed.

Bio
On her first day of Sodor, Belle helped Thomas and Percy put out a fire at an old farm shed. But doing so caused her to run out of water. So Thomas and Percy helped her to the Steamworks where The Fat Controller praises her for her bravey, but adds that Sodor needs a real Fire Engine. Belle then adviced him about Flynn. Later Thomas was given the honor of showing Belle around Sodor. Belle was seen nat the Steamworks with the rest of the Steam Team to welcome Flynn to Sodor. She then helped Flynn fight a fire at the Dieselworks.

A while later, Belle learned that Toby had a bell and tried to be friends with him.
