Innocent Snow was a sweet school teacher. Gentle Charming was a veterinarian volunteer. Helpful Blue was a nun. Evil Rumble was a nasty landlord. However, naive Belle was still a naive Belle. So her personality also didn't change with the curse. But it did when she went over the line. Something happened when she went over the line that was different than when the curse happened.

Not when she went over the line; her personaliity only changed after Regina implanted her with false memories in "Lacey." And I've also thought that Charming was bit off from his original personality; during the first season, David wasn't as honorable as he had been before.
