The argument that skin color aligns with mana identity is a gateway to some big arguments. There are green mana humans. Also if we assume she's pictured in the background she's wearing a green dress. I can't make out her skin color from the image.
I suspect the reason was more about token conformity with Hero of Precinct One because what if you have both in the same deck why would you have to separate them into two piles. But as a general trend, cards that make token creatures make them in a color that is a subset of their own color. Sometimes multicolor cards make monocolored tokens and that's not a problem, its just observed to be weird. Cards like Guardian of Cloverdell are by far the exception and again its for conformity of tokens the user may already be using.
I would have just made it a 1/1 green Human Noble creature. That said, 99%+ of games it would make zero difference on play so I'm not actually mad.
I mean, it's been awhile since I've seen Beauty and the Beast, but I'm pretty sure Belle is a very white French woman. Plus, she's a symbol of purity and innocence, which is very white.
