I'm pretty sure him rebelling is because he doesn't want to be guilty for the manslaughter/murder of his cousin (it's a murder, he thinks it's a manslaughter).

I've noticed that a lot of Beauty and the Beast OCs tend to be bookish, and some of them completely rely on the antisocial, bookworm, "not like other girls" stereotype. I'm guessing Bookmaster Furryluvxoxoxo is a parody of those OCs.

Actually, that's probably the most overused OC type I see for any fandom. Seriously, it's become a full-blown cliche. Sometimes, subversions and deconstructions of stereotypes can become stereotypes in their own right. When Disney's Little Mermaid came out, it was interesting that Ariel was a rebellious princess who "wanted more". Now so many animated movies (including bad ones) have used this idea that it's now cliched.
