Would anyone believe me if I theorised that part of Yang's, Junior's and the Malachite Twin's inspiration may come from Beauty and The Beast? Here me out;

"Scathering eyes ask that we be symmetrical, one-sided and easily processed. Yet, every mishappen spark's unseen beauty is greater than it's would be judgement."

Yellow's quote for the trailer tells us that Yang is not simple-minded, naive or dim-witted despite her beauty nor does she want a provincial life surrounded by narrow-minded people by the likes of Junior and the Twins. She's curious about the world and "wants to get wrapped up in as many adventures she can". This was also very much the case with Belle in the movie.

Now onto Junior, when Yang offered Junior a kiss after crushing his balls, he nonchalantly accepted her proposal only to be punched through a glass pillar of his own club. This shows he is gullible and impulsive with a hint of brute as he seems to enjoy over-powering people whom appear / are weaker than him (similar to Gaston's personality).

In the original story of Beauty and The Beast, Belle had two older sisters whom were jealous of her beauty and demanded their father for the finest clothes, furs, feathers and jewels money could buy. This is a trait shared with Melanie and Miltiades Malachite, as both wear designer clothing and jewels along with furs and feathers.

Yes it is true that Blake alludes to Belle, but who’s to say inspiration can’t be for two characters?
