Beatrice: Difference between revisions

* [[Battler Ushiromiya]] (rival, husband)

* [[Kinzo Ushiromiya]] (lover)

* [[Sayo Yasuda]] (true personality)

* [[Lion Ushiromiya]] (alternate existence)

After having lived for a thousand years, Beatrice was summoned by [[Kinzo Ushiromiya]]. She forged a contract with him and provided him with [[Kinzo's gold|ten tons of gold]]. For the duration of their contract, Beatrice was to remain in the human realm and was effectively Kinzo's prisoner. As a result, Beatrice was bound to the body of [[Beatrice Castiglioni]] and was imprisoned on [[Rokkenjima]]. In order to escape, Beatrice allowed herself to die during childbirth which in turn allowed her to leave her human vessel. Kinzo managed to recapture her soul and imprison her once again in the body of the baby [[Beatrice Ushiromiya]]. Due to this, Beatrice lost her memories and sense of identity.

 

Years later, [[Rosa Ushiromiya]] accidentally discovered Beatrice Ushiromiya and the [[Kuwadorian]]. Beatrice asked Rosa to help her escape the Kuwadorian and explore the world, to which Rosa acquiesced. On their way towards the [[Ushiromiya main building]], Beatrice slipped from a cliff and fell to her death. Upon dying, Beatrice's soul separated from Beatrice Ushiromiya's body. Having finally freed herself from Kinzo's influence, Beatrice hid in the forest and waited for her magic powers to be fully restored.

Beatrice appears as a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She usually appears in witch form with a long, flowing black dress emblazoned with the [[One-Winged Eagle]], a choker, and a bow. She also wears a flower in her hair and the [[successor ring]] on her left middle finger. She is frequently seen with a golden [[Wikipedia:kiseru|kiseru]].

 

On the front, Beatrice is a very cruel individual who tortures and kills humans for the sake of fun and is often hailed as extraordinarily cruel by other witches. She generally maintains a calm and majestic composure. Later in the story, Beatrice reveals a softer and often childish side as well as a certain naiveté regarding her powers.

 

Beatrice has a long-standing fear of spiderwebs, though this is surmised by [[Erika Furudo]] to be a result of mixing the traditions of evil spirits on Akujikishima and the legend of Beatrice.

Beatrice isn't seen throughout most of the episode, though her presence is felt due to the huge portrait of her in the hall of the [[Ushiromiya Main Building|Ushiromiya mansion]], the rumors surrounding her existence, and the golden butterflies. She gives Maria the umbrella and a letter, using her to announce plans of committing murder if [[epitaph|the witch's epitaph]] is not solved.

 

In the ????, Beatrice also invites to her game Lady [[Lambdadelta]], her protector and ally against [[Bernkastel]]. Lambdadelta seems to point out that Beatrice made it so that Battler would regain his will to fight on purpose.

 

A glimpse into Beatrice's past is seen, where as a little girl, she wished to become after a witch after seeing what her teacher [[Virgilia]] was capable of doing.

 

Beatrice assists Battler in finding evidence to use against EVA, and after a fierce debate, Battler is pinned down by EVA's web of red truth and is unable to come up with theories. Beatrice sacrifices herself by denying witches in red, and Battler covers his ears while the meta-world disappears. Battler and Beatrice then reunite in the Golden Land, where the Ushiromiya family and all the furniture are awaiting them. Battler is asked to sign a document recognizing Beatrice as a true witch, and he realizes that Beatrice had tricked him the entire time. Dropping her facade, Beatrice reveals that she truly was pretending to be a good witch to make Battler believe in her. Their discussion is cut short when [[Ange Ushiromiya]] suddenly invades the meta-world, aiming to deny Beatrice as well.

 

During this fourth game, Beatrice makes Kinzo exit his study to commit murders, trying to dissuade Battler's claim that Kinzo is dead all along and an 18th person X is taking his place. She also grants Battler the use of [[Blue Truth]], allowing him to make proper theories. During the game, Kinzo gives tests to the four cousins, and Beatrice is revived by Kinzo's ceremony. Beatrice then shows up in person to give Battler his test, asking that he choose between his life, _____'s life, or everyone else's lives. Battler doesn't take it seriously and puts Beatrice's name into the blank space, and Beatrice instead asks that Battler remember his sin; his sin is what caused everyone on Rokkenjima to die. Battler is unable to remember, and Beatrice leaves, disappointed. Beatrice then kills Kinzo by burning him alive, leaving Battler alone as the last survivor on the island.

 

Beatrice's spirit embraces Battler as he swears that he will solve that riddle and kill her.

 

Beatrice is rendered comatose, having used up all of her spirit in fighting Battler. Battler seeks to find a peaceful way to kill her, and with her absence Lambda takes over as Game Master. During the game, [[Natsuhi Ushiromiya]] is at risk of the family members discovering that she and [[Krauss Ushiromiya]] had been hiding Kinzo's death, and a piece version of Beatrice appears to help her. Piece-Beatrice duels with [[Erika Furudo]] and [[Eiserne Jungfrau]], trying to prevent them from destroying Kinzo's spirit when they attack the study. Piece-Beatrice and her furniture also try to help Natsuhi by hiding the corpses of the victims of the first twilight.

 

Later on, Lambda holds a court session in the meta-world, trying to pin Natsuhi as the culprit. Piece-Beatrice tries her best to defend Natsuhi, but she fails and is torn apart by goats. Battler also tries to defend Natsuhi, but he is impaled by [[Dlanor A. Knox|Dlanor]]'s red longsword. After court has ended and everyone has cleared out, the real Beatrice walks up to Battler, thanking him for trying to save the integrity of her game and disappears.

 

Battler has discovered the truth and become Game Master, using his powers to try and revive Beatrice. However, she instead is revived as [[Chick Beatrice]], acting very kind and innocent with none of the haughty personality that the original Beatrice had. Chick Beatrice assists Battler in his game against Erika, later witnessing him getting trapped in a logic error. In the midst of the game, Chick Beatrice tries to discover how to be just like the real Beatrice, eventually meeting [[Beatrice the Elder]]. The two Beatrices try to learn how to become just like the original Beatrice, and they get involved with a love trial held by [[Zepar]] and [[Furfur]].

 

In the Tea Party, Battler and Beatrice are finally able to get married.

 

 

 

In this arc, the Beatrice from ''Dawn of the Golden Witch'' appears as the 19th person on [[Rokkenjima]] once more, as part of [[Battler Ushiromiya|Battler]]'s game for [[Ange Ushiromiya]].
