CDA, you still have it wrong though (imo). It's not about romance whatso ever.

Ursula and Ariel legit split Disney's Ariel story in two. Ursula takes the overprotective, angry father, singing voice, and the trident. Ariel takes the "part of your world" and Prince Eric.

Aurora and Briar Rose legit splits Disney's Aurora in two. Aurora takes Philip and sleeping curse and Mal, with parents being Stefan. Briar Rose takes the nickname, sleeping curse, and Mal.

Rumple and Phillip don't split Disney's Beast in two. Rumple takes the beastly appearance,  castle, talking objects, the dance, the music, the outfits, Belle's love, obsession over a shiny object, Gaston, a rose, etc. Phillip's just some cursed prince who happened to be beastly to parallel to her situation with Rumple.

I can see where you're coming from, but Phillip parallels to Rumple, but Ursula doesn't parallel to Ariel, while Aurora faintly parallels to Briar Rose (which is simply because Mal attacks both the same way).
