The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Villeneuve's original story was abridged, revised, and published by French novelist Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 1756 in Magasin des enfants which became the most commonly retold version.
- Later, Andrew Lang retold the story in Blue Fairy Book, a part of the Fairy Book series, in 1889.
- The fairy-tale was influenced by the story of Petrus Gonsalvus as well as Ancient Latin stories such as "Cupid and Psyche" from The Golden Ass, written by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis in the second century AD, and "The Pig King", an Italian fairy-tale published by Giovanni Francesco Straparola in The Facetious Nights of Straparola around 1550.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Beauty and the Beast article was read about 310,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
