Background

Appearance

Beatrice appears as a tall 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 kiseru.

When taking on a more casual human form, Beatrice appears with a white collared, a dark blue cropped jacket and matching vest, a pink tie, ruffled miniskirt, striped stockings and boots. In this form, she usually holds a cane with an eagle head as its handle in place of her kiseru.

Personality

Beatrice can be a fearsome witch to those who don't respect her and acknowledge her existence. On the other hand, those who respect her and don't act oddly afraid of her have nothing to worry about.

Plot

Trivia

  • Beatrice's original name is Lion. She adopts the name "Beatrice" along with the title of "Endless Witch" from Virgilia and later passes it on to EVA.
  • The nickname "Beato" is actually an Italian male name which can be translated as "blessed".
  • Beatrice's name is pronounced the Italian way as "Be-a-tri-ce" (Be-a-to-ri-che [ベアトリーチェ] in Japanese phonetics) rather than the English way, as "Be-a-triss".
  • The embodiment of Beatrice as Battler's ideal woman is most likely a reference to Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy in which Beatrice Potinari is also Dante's ideal woman.
  • Beatrice as she appears in Legend of the Golden Witch, Turn of the Golden Witch, Banquet of the Golden Witch, and Alliance of the Golden Witch is Ryukishi07's favorite character.[1]
