Advertisement Appearance On the outside, Beatrice seems like a lovely young girl around the age of eleven or twelve. Her face is so sweet that Subaru believed there was no heart that wouldn't melt at the sight of a genuine smile of hers. Her large sky-blue eyes have pink butterfly patterns as their irises.[1] Beatrice's pale cream blonde hair is worn long and tied into frilly vertical drill-shaped twin tails that act like springs when pulled on. In the anime adaptation, the tips of her twin tails are dyed pink.

Most of the time, the Great Spirit of the Forbidden Library can be seen wearing a pink frilly ornate dress with white trimmings and an exposed front that leave her legs visible, and are completely covered by pink and purple vertically-striped tights. A petite crown is also sported on the right side of Beatrice's large head, serving as a nice accessory which complements her appearance rather perfectly. Beatrice also wears pink shoes with butterfly straps on her feet, and has a large pink ribbon adorned upon the left side of her waist and a pair of similar ribbons tied at the top of her twin tails.

In the Water Plumage Inn in Arc 5, she wears a yukata.

Personality Beatrice generally looks down on others and is bad at dealing with people who try to get close to her. Despite being full of bravado, she's a lonely person, and is softhearted beyond her perceived stubbornness. She is affectionate towards Puck because of their similarities and favors him over the others in the Roswaal household.

Following the events of the Sanctuary, she has become far more cheerful, and she is often seen accompanying Subaru in his various antics. She also shows great pride at being contracted with Subaru and is often angry or worried on his behalf. She also became much more friendly with the others within the camp, Roswaal aside.

She has a distinct way of speaking, adding "I suppose" (かしら, kashira) and "in fact" (のよ, no yo) at the end of most of her sentences.

History Beatrice is an artificial spirit created by the Witch of Greed, Echidna, over 400 years ago. In the years following her creation, Echidna tasked Beatrice to safekeep her mansion, known as the Palace of the Witch. Throughout the Witch's frequent absences, Beatrice acted in her place, helping out whoever managed to reach the unreachable Palace, together with Puck. Roughly three years after her creation, she and Puck helped Toska in fending off the Silver Dragons led by Fargall.

Some years later, Beatrice started frequently accompanying Echidna to the Sanctuary, where she met the original Ryuzu Meyer and became friends with her. However, disaster struck when the Warlock of Melancholy, Hector, attacked the Sanctuary, as he was hunting down Echidna. To protect everyone in the Sanctuary, Ryuzu offered to use herself to speed up the process of putting up the Barrier around Sanctuary, Echidna's only plan of stopping Hector. Following the creation of the Barrier and the Sanctuary's survival, Echidna told Beatrice to use her Door Crossing to connect her library to Roswaal's mansion, as she wanted the knowledge she had collected to survive. Echidna told Beatrice to protect the library until "That Person" showed up to bring her out of the library.

Throughout the centuries, many people tried to take her out of the library, but they were all interested in the knowledge in the Forbidden Library or using Beatrice, as she is a very powerful great spirit. Beatrice began to close her heart, doubting that "That Person" would ever show up. A couple of months before Subaru's arrival, Emilia was brought to the mansion, and with her, Puck. Though Beatrice was rejoicing at first, she soon realized Puck has changed, as he spent every waking minute hovering around Emilia and not paying much attention to Beatrice, despite their nearly identical upbringings all those centuries ago. Not long after, however, a strange boy by the name of Natsuki Subaru, had also arrived at the mansion.
