Rem asks her, one day, what she sees in Light and at first Misa babbles like normal- something about his hair, his eyes, the way he so earnestly describes his perfect world and how they will one day rule it together, beautiful and wonderful and eternal.
Then Rem interrupts, and it's so uncharacteristic she actually stops to hear the Shinigami out. She asks what she sees in Light, not his words- what lies beneath the eyes and the hair and the captivating words, and Misa has no answer. Then Rem begins to talk again, telling Misa about the one she loves, how that being is the warmth to her cold, the sparkle to her dullness, the Beauty to her... well, her Beast. Misa is enchanted. Maybe it was the fairytale mention that drew her in, maybe it was this perfect vision of opposites and the way they came together to work in perfect harmony.
The spell is broken, though, when Rem refuses to give a name.
