Personality:

• Manipulative - Béatrice is very smart, manipulative, and apathetic towards those who have wronged her or gave her no excuse to care about them. She won't ever allow her manipulative and apathetic side show on purpose though, but certain ways she speaks or looks at a person sometimes let her intentions slip. The worst is when she's going through her mood-swings and she ends up blurting out all sorts of things she shouldn't have said, only to realize them after her emotions went back to being regulated. As smart and manipulative Béatrice is though, she has frequent moments of not thinking things through well because of her mood-swings and just hot-bloodiness. When she has a specific goal in mind the methods she'll go through to get to it won't always be the best, and sometimes will hurt her in the long wrong. She's even quick to make threats and get violent with those she felt insulted, threatened, or harmed herself or her loved ones.
  
  
• Mood-swinger - Béatrice is always on 100% with her personality, no matter her mood. When she is happy, she is ecstatic, and when she's sad, she's depressed. Same for her anger, jealousy, disgust, etc. The closer you get to her, the more you'll see how sudden her emotions can switch in just five minutes before she goes back to her usual cheerful attitude. Her most common emotions are happiness and annoyance, though there's times where she'll suddenly lose motivation for everything and fall into a deep depression. Even then she prefers to constantly show herself off as being an optimistic and excited individual, one who will never back down from a challenge if there's even 1% that she can succeed.
  
  
• Polite - Despite her often threatening and uncontrollable behavior, one of the things she values the most is politeness. She loves to speak to people with the best of formalities (although sometimes she slips up and shows off her more casual and vulgar side), and she expects people to do the same to her. She even tries to research as many cultures as she can so she can know immediately what she needs to do to be formal in their culture. Funnily enough, when at home or around people she doesn't care about impressing, she's loud and crass. She'll throw out any curse words to express how she feels and won't shy away from making sexual jokes, whether subtle or unsubtle. Even when she's trying to be polite sometimes she can end up being a bit too blunt with her feelings, ending up with her coming off as person trying to act polite to hide her passive aggressive feelings. It doesn't help that she has a constant smile on her face when speaking to people.
  
  
• Strict - Béatrice has high expectations on nearly everyone, but mostly on her family. She often feels like people should do the absolute best of their abilities no matter the situation, so if she sees someone working less than she usually sees them she'll get very annoyed and sometimes disgusted. People should be as passionate as her, so if someone isn't working on the same level as her they obviously don't care about what they're doing and don't deserve to be paid equally or sometimes not paid at all. When she's in her kinder moods she'll be more understanding if someone isn't working at their best, but she can only take so much before she starts taking off privileges or benefits that the person has.

Béatrice was born into the Afolabi-Soie family, which included her two older twin siblings, Luco and Mika, and her parent, Archard. Being born into a family that valued all categories of art, yet focused on drawing, fashion designing, and clothing making, Béatrice quickly picked up those skills. She found herself in love with sewing clothes, designing all of her outfits herself. Often people remembered her as the girl with long wild hair that ran around in giant dresses doused in glitter. People also remembered her for another reason: she was the daughter of the Royal Oricenta. She was also known for her... odd behavior.

Béatrice always loved learning about species, their cultures, and how their biology worked. It was something she took heavily from her parent. Archard also loved those things, having a whole section in their library specifically for it. Béatrice read up on Archard's books heavily, always enjoying herself while doing it. There was no need for her to be forced into studying and schoolwork because she took it all joyfully and caught on quickly. It was quickly noted by many close to her that she was a lover of science, and would do anything to learn more about it.

So she used animals for her experiments. Sometimes they were fully healthy animals she caught while outside, but usually, she got them from hunting practice. At the first, she wasn't really sure what she was trying to accomplish exactly. She just assumed using animals would help her learn more about species and how their bodies work. In a way, it did, since she got to really learn how their bodies work. But as Béatrice aged she became more precise with what she wanted to achieve and less obvious. That didn't stop Archard from trying to stop her due to how badly she could ruin the family's reputation.

Not only was the smell of blood and guts coming from her "science room" too much for Archard to deal with, people were getting more aware of Béatrice's activities. Before things got too bad Archard constructed a plan: Béatrice would work as an apprentice to the Royal Scientists and get actual training on science, both normal and magical sciences. With them she could also continue her experimentation in approved and safe situations, and even got her own official lab to work in. By her pre-teens she had everything set up to do all her research, which helped a lot with fixing some of her concerning behavior.

Yet it was hard for Archard to not notice how easy it was for her to turn off her emotions during her, mostly because the scientists Béatrice was working with kept pointing it out to them. Every time Béatrice worked she'd just shut off emotionally, going completely apathetic and doing whatever to complete her goal. Sometimes it was very helpful, other times it unnerved her teachers because it made her very harsh and uncaring. No one did anything about it though, because they never saw it as an actual issue. Of course, there were times when Archard was suggested getting therapy for her, but she would always deny it, saying she was just being practical and that it didn't matter.

During her teen years she met another teenager named Ade Afolabi. Quickly Béatrice was smitten, finding almost everything about her attractive in some way. She didn't make her her obsession though, but tried to get as close to her as possible, eventually becoming her best friend. Yet things didn't go as smoothly as she hoped. Ade found herself attracted to another man, marrying him instead. Béatrice wanted to do everything to ruin the relationship, but always had to be held back by Archard to keep her from making a fool of herself, or from causing Ade serious emotional damage.

Béatrice never become truly content with how her relationship with Ade ended up, but she they still stayed best friends, and she even got to befriend Ade's daughter, Remi. Béatrice herself dabbled into relationships once in a while, but most people found her unstable to be around, yet kept their mouth shut to avoid getting on her family's bad side. It was only after waiting nearly three-hundred years for Ade to divorce her husband that she quickly took her chance to propose to Ade during her time of need and adopting her daughter into their new family.

Everything went nice at first. Béatrice knew the reason Ade's marriage went to garbage was because her and her husband had too similar personalities. They were both sarcastic, aggressive, rude, and could be pretty uncaring, but Ade was more caring and sympathetic than her husband. But Béatrice was surprised to hear it ended with Ade punching Oyewole before leaving the marriage. Béatrice viewed him as an asshole anyways, nothing feeling too bad, nor surprised, about how the whole situation ended. She just wished it didn't take so long for it to end.

When her new family were sent off to Manta Carlos Islands by Archard's demand Béatrice couldn't explain the excitement she felt. Not only was she going to learn about all these new lifeforms, she was starting a new life with her family, no longer being a shadow to her parent. That last part was downplayed a bit by Archard visiting every once in a while, going back and forth between their original home and their new home to check on updates. Still, everything was going according to plan, and there were no downsides she could see to her new life.

Now that Béatrice finally had the wife she wanted and was on a whole new planet she thought up a new idea. All this time she has been trying to learn ways to improve her species' magical properties. To make them stronger, have them acquire more spells, and what she was most excited to learn about, being born with magic outside of the elements of air, earth, fire, and water. She knew it wasn't legal to experiment on oricenta, nor other sentient species out there. And using enemies would get her more hate than praise. So she went went the next best thing: her family.

While Béatrice cares deeply for her family members, she can often have a cold attitude about them when focused on science. She will even use herself as a subject if she thinks it's necessary. No matter what though, she won't use her family if she feels like there's a high chance they'll be permanently (physically) damaged, or killed. She never uses Archard as a subject since she knows they could easily overpower her if she goes too far, and she find them more useful as an assistant than a subject. Béatrice views Ade as more of an assistant than subject, but there's been multiple times she coerced Ade into being a subject. Remi is usually left alone when it comes to being a subject since Béatrice finds her useless usually, but when she still views Remi as a good test subject when she isn't able to use Arjean. Arjean she's the most careful, since they were born primarily to be a subject, but they're also only a child. Most of her experiments are just power tests, intelligence tests, and medication. Other times it can get more gorier or bloody, but those are mostly with her strict punishments for her kids if they "misbehave". What she judges as being disobedient changes depending on her mood, but she does update her kids regularly on what they can and cannot do.

Powers:

• Water Manipulation - Béatrice is capable of creating and manipulating large bodies of water. The largest she can manipulate is the amount of water the size of an Olympic sized pool, and when it comes to her creating water she can only make up to 200 gallons. Anything more than that will cause her to become exhausted and pass out. She's also capable of turning water colder until it becomes ice, and using her powers as a form of telekinesis through water. When using her powers as a form of telekinesis, she usually changes the form of water to make construct to pick things up. These constructs generally come in the form of water bubbles or hands that may or may not be connected to her own arm for easier control.
  
  • Water Suit - By surrounding her body, or parts of her body, in a thick shield of water, Béatrice can increase her offensive and defensive capabilities. Since it is water, it still can be broken through and is vulnerable to fire abilities. It is also hard for Béatrice the control the water if it's surrounding most, or all, of her body, because of how liquidy it is. She has to focus hard to keep it stable; otherwise, it will just fall off of her. She finds it easier just to enhance some of her body parts, specifically her limbs, and if she's in battle, she'll move her water to defend vital parts of her body.

Species Abilities:

• Owl and Deer Physiology (More developed with her owl traits)
• Owl, Deer, Cervid Shifting -
  • Owl Form - Large owl similar to a snowy owl, but instead of black markings they're violet. Her eyes are also violet, as well as her feet and beak. She still retains the facial markings of her oricenta family on her face in this form and can summon her horns if she wants. She is incapable of talking in this form.
    
    
  • Deer Form - Large deer that looks similar to a white-tailed deer, yet retains she retains her spots. All the spot spots a white-tailed deer would have is violet for Béatrice, but the rest of her body is white. Her eyes are also violet, as well as her hooves. She still retains the facial markings of her oricenta family on her face in this form and can summon her wings in this form. She is incapable of talking in this form.
    
    
  • Cervitaur Form - Basically a mixture of her standard form and her deer form. The bottom half of her body is her deer form, but from that point above she has her humanoid body. Her wings, however, have been moved from her
• Healing - Béatrice is only capable of healing deep wounds of others by applying water she herself created onto their body. The only time this doesn't work is when she's trying to heal someone whose body requires heat or fire, so instead of healing them she ends up hurting them.
  
  
• Longevity- All oricenta will stop aging at 24-years-old, the year they hit their prime, and continue to live forever, but they are still capable of being harmed and killed. They are still vulnerable to sicknesses, wounds, and whatever their weakness is depending on their oricenta type. Their best bet against those things are to be healed by either themselves or others. They cannot resurrect themselves from the dead, and even just trying to resurrect them is hard because their bodies turn into whatever oricenta type they represent. Once Béatrice dies she'll turn into clouds and float away.
  
  
• Sexual Characteristics Shifting
• Water Walking/Breathing
• Air Walking
• Cloud Walking

Skills:

• Fashion Designing/Creating - Béatrice has years of experiences when it comes to designing clothing under any circumstances. Paired with her love of culture, and she's studied countless ways of designing and making clothes that other cultures founded and adapted as their own. Because of her knowledge on fashion designing, she's usually considered the main leader of Designs to the Nines while Ade helps keep the place stable and works with the armor and weapons.
  
  
• Species Analysis - This is the type of science Béatrice loves to participate in. She loves learning about different species, what they can do, their psychology, their cultures, etc. She's even gone as far to try and subdue some for her to get a closer look of their bodies and brains that she couldn't get just from a conversation or flirting with them. Her mind is practically a library of information for different cultures and species.
  
  
• Manipulation - While this varies as a skill depending on her mood, Béatrice is generally excellent at getting what she wants. She won't shy away from using her body (until it gets too personal for her), money, status, or motherhood to get what she wants. She'll play the strong powerful woman one moment, and then the damsel in distress the next, all just so she can get what she wants. She does have standards though, and won't do anything that she feels will hurt herself or those she loves, even if it's their reputation that's in danger.
  
  Things only go downhill when she begins talking more than she should, specifically when she's angry or sad. When that happens she tries to get rid of the evidence of what she said as fast as possible, which at times involve not-so-legal methods and not-so-clean methods.

Weaknesses:

• Heat/Electricity- Being near heat is a serious danger to Béatrice, and the hotter the area she's in is, the closer she is to meeting her death. Whenever she's in an area that's a danger to herself, she'll pass out and her body will start trying to protect itself however it can. These three things can decrease the amount of power Béatrice can use, not only because trying to fight water with electricity is the dumbest idea out there, but because being near heat makes her tired and her powers weaker. It's common to see her turning her water into ice cubes and rubbing them on her arms and neck to cool herself.
  
  
• Flying - While Air oricenta are generally lighter so they can fly faster and more easily, Béatrice's weight holds her back. She's still lighter than a human that's the same exact size of her, but when she's flying it's obvious she's slower than others of her type. No matter what though, she still moves with elegance and lightly, and still finds flying to be more convenient than ground travel.
  
  
• Ground - Béatrice can move on the ground just fine, but when it comes to walking for a long time or running she'll get tired faster than a normal human and will need frequent breaks when moving fast. This isn't just because of her weight, but because of the fact that Air oricenta are just better in the air than on the ground. This means their deer-based traits aren't as strong (jumping, running, etc), and their their senses aren't as sharp on the ground than in the air. Because of this, flying is her main mode of transport, even if she moves under the normal speed for an Air oricenta.
  
  
• Shape-Shifting - When an oricenta shape-shifts with their deer, owl, or cervitaur forms, they turn into a magical glowing cell-like form that lets them shape-shift without any pain. The time spent changing depends entirely on the experience an oricenta has with shape-shifting, but during this time they are very vulnerable to attacks. If they are interrupted, such as being touched or even stabbed, they can come out disfigured or dead. If they're disfigured there's the chance of them being healed back to normal depending on the severity of their interruption and where they were interrupted, but if their dead the only thing that can bring them back is the power of resurrection that doesn't require a body to resurrect.
