Bete Noire

Bete, under her human alias, is a curious child bursting with energy. She acts cheerfully and is quick to greet peers with a huge smile. Nevertheless, despite appearing sweet and innocent, Bete's false personality quickly dissipated after Asriel and Sans discovered some AMD camera footage of her acting rather suspicious. During this time, Dr. Gaster learned that Agate Lightvale sacrificed her own soul to create a powerful creature that would make sure monster-kind and humanity never live in peace. Afterward, Bete revealed her true personality, quickly indicating that she enjoys it when she severely hurts others (both physically and emotionally), showing that she has a very sadistic, psychotic, and violent personality.

She appears to enjoy hurting her opponents before she kills them. In fact, Bete is known for attempting to kill anyone in her way. It's also clear that she has no problem lying to, or betraying, others, as she manipulated Jessica into doing what she wanted them to do. Another example of this is when she caused Undyne to hallucinate, causing her to kill Alphys instead of her, or when she caused Jessica to hallucinate a mangled and nightmarish version of Alina, causing her immense emotional pain whilst taking the HATE vial. During combat, she often becomes arrogant, resulting in her underestimating her enemies. She also displays minimal tactical knowledge, allowing the use of strategy to defeat her in battle, as shown in her various battles with Gaster. Although it is observed that she can calculate and knows how to get what she wants, though she seems to not be able to plan to a great extent.

Bete, for the most part, believes what she is doing is right. According to her conversation with Akumu, and a couple of lines from Scared Of Me, she believes that monsters and humans living together is "like a time bomb waiting to go off". Therefore, she thinks that what she's doing is "just speeding up the process", thus showing that Bete's views on humans and monsters living together are the same as Agate's. She also knows everyone's past, and uses their mistakes to justify what she does, exemplified by her chastising Asriel (as Flowey) for committing genocide on the inhabitants of the Underground.

In her conversation with Akumu, it was also revealed that she is unsure if what she was doing was right or not.

Occasionally, Bete shows care for Akumu and talks to it as an acquaintance. For example, in Do or Die, she seemed concerned when Akumu was hurt in their battle with Gaster. Both Kumu and Bete treasure each other like their best and only friend, but regardless of this false hope, Cami said it was a kind of instinct since they need each other to live. If one of them dies, the other slowly dies due to the lack of magic and inability to collect souls alone.

While under HATE's control, Bete acts far more violent and frightening than she had previously. In this state, mostly during combat, she mercilessly attacks her foes with a menacing grin. Also, Bete seems to be scared of HATE's plans, as it could control her; this means she knows that HATE has different plans than her own.

Without a doubt, Bête Noire's biggest (and even fatal) flaw is her arrogance, and this mostly likely stems from Agate's own arrogance after she killed her brother. Throughout Season 2, she consistently underestimated her opponents, without fail. She believes her power is above everyone's and relies on brute force to get through most situations. Another part of this is her desire to be feared, which causes her to draw out killing her opponents even though it is detrimental to her, such as when Gaster stopped her from killing Toriel and Asgore in Animosity, because she wanted to torment Toriel. Due to these factors, she tends not to fight at full strength, and gets easily surprised at power stronger than she was expecting, and a little bit of planning can outsmart her; this puts her in situations where she must use her master manipulation and trickery skills to get out of deadly situations, where she could have easily won if she took her enemies seriously. The best examples of this are her fight with Gaster in Do or Die, her fight with Toriel and Asgore in Ḣ̸͈a̷̞̽ẗ̵̥́e̸̟͒ . She even could have killed Frisk in Love before Asriel had intervened if she had taken the fight as seriously as Frisk was, as Frisk was in no condition to win that fight before Asriel's intervention, even though she managed to kill Asriel. This arrogance isn't the same as idiocy, as she will back out when it is obvious she can't win, like when HATE took over in Love Part 1, or when everyone came to Frisk's rescue in Love Part 2. She actually shows some character growth in Animosity, when she attempts to retreat from the Skeleton Trio. However, her arrogance quickly returns once she kills Sans and gets cocky again. This led to her fatal mistake when she mistook Gaster's threat as underestimation, when in reality Gaster didn't care if she was stronger or not, and she was actually underestimating him; instead of running away, she attacked, and was killed. Bête Noire was a construct of a spell and a physical incarnation of the Soul Trait Fear, created by Agate Lightvale solely to ensure humans and monsters would never live in peace. A thousand years after her creation, monsters were freed from the Underground and lived in harmony with humans, so Bête, under the alias Betty, met Frisk and posed as an ally. During her temporary acquaintance with Jessica Grey, they both were responsible for framing Papyrus and the murder of Sans. After Bête's true nature was revealed, her actions started expanding into a war, where she ruthlessly slaughtered humans and monsters alike to obtain their SOULs. Bête began losing track of her mind when she was enhanced with HATE, but nonetheless, Bête continued her murderous attacks on Determino, fighting her enemies physically and emotionally. However, in her final fight against W. D. Gaster and his two children, Gaster, out of pure rage for Sans's second death, brutally tore Bête apart and struck her with endless blows, finally destroying Bête once and for all, but it resulted in the release of HATE, who was defeated by Chara and Asriel.
