Considering we know nothing about Belle's mother in either the original Beauty and the Beast story or the Disney adaption, I'd say Adam and Eddy may do either of two things: 1) Belle's mother is an original character of their own creative design, or 2) She could derived from pre-existing character already found in another story and meshed into the OUAT universe.
