There are many attractive female characters in "Re:ZERO", but among them, the holy spirit Beatrice, who manages the library at Roswaal Mansion, is overwhelmingly popular alongside Petra and Felt as a young girl. Despite appearing from the beginning of the work, many fans are attracted to this character, who is shrouded in many mysteries. In this article, I would like to explain about Beatrice, a mysterious young girl who is no exaggeration to say that she is the most young girl in "Re:ZERO".
What kind of character is Beatrice?
First, let's introduce some basic information about Beatrice. Beatrice is one of the most mysterious characters among the many that appear, so let's start by looking at some basic information.
Young Girl
As mentioned at the beginning, Beatrice's first characteristic is that she is a young girl. In the story of Re:Zero, where many traumas are born, the appearance of the cute Beatrice will surely purify the hearts of many fans.
Spirits
It is known that Beatrice is a spirit, just like Puck. Holy spirits are living beings that use mana in the atmosphere as their source of energy, and many types of spirits live in the world of Re:Zero. It is later revealed that Beatrice is a special spirit among the many spirits that exist.
It's ~
Speaking of Beatrice, her way of speaking is also quite distinctive! She often ends her sentences with "It's ~" and speaks in a cute, little-girl-like way, which makes you wonder if she really is one of the most talented characters in the world of Re:Zero. Despite her considerable abilities, Beatrice's greatest feature is that she looks cute and speaks in a cute way.
Nickname
Because of her adorable appearance, Subaru calls Beatrice "Betty." In the first season, the interaction between Subaru, who is very familiar with Beatrice, and Beatrice, who seems reluctant but ends up helping Subaru, was depicted in a heartwarming way. In the second season, a new relationship will begin that is different from the relationship between the two so far.
Beatrice's Magic
So what kind of power does Beatrice have specifically? Here, I would like to summarize the magic and attributes, battle results, and abilities that Beatrice can use. Not only is Beatrice cute, but she also has some of the best abilities in the world of Re:Zero, and she will play a major role in the future progress of the story. You'll want to understand Beatrice's powers in detail now.
Yin attribute
Beatrice is a master of Yin attribute magic. Characters who use Yin attributes seem to be quite rare in the world of Re:Zero, and when Subaru was found to be Yin attribute, he pumped his fist in excitement the moment he heard that. However, according to Puck, Yin attribute magic is often difficult to use, and it can be said that it is an attribute that requires a lot of skill from the user.
Shamak!!
Shamaku is the most basic and easy-to-use magic among the Yin-attribute magic. By casting Shamaku, black smoke spreads around the user, allowing the user to hide from the opponent. It's a technique similar to the ink of an octopus or squid. Shamaku is used not only by Beatrice but also by Subaru, and Subaru's life has been saved by this magic many times.
Defeat Tatsuto!!
The greatest of Beatrice's many achievements was defeating Tato. Tato first appeared in season 2 and may have traumatized many fans due to his extremely hopeless abilities, but he was sent to another dimension by Beatrice's magic "Al Shamak".
A very capable person
It goes without saying that Beatrice is a very capable person, as she easily defeated Tato. Beatrice will be playing an active role from the second half of the second season, so please look forward to it.
Roswaal and Beatrice
So, what is the relationship between Beatrice and Roswaal? Of course, since Beatrice is in charge of managing the library at Roswaal's mansion, there is no doubt that there is some kind of relationship between Roswaal and Beatrice. Here, we will mainly explain the relationship between Beatrice and Roswaal that is currently known.
Relationship with Echidna
Did you know that Roswaal and Echidna were once master and disciple, and that Roswaal is plotting to revive Echidna? In this way, Roswaal has a close relationship with Echidna. And in the web novel, it is revealed that Beatrice is also related to Echidna.
From 400 years ago
So how long has Beatrice been around? In the story, she claims to be 400 years old. Little Roswaal himself also says that he has been waiting for Echidna for 400 years, so it seems certain that Roswaal and Beatrice have existed for 400 years.
Artificial Spirit
Beatrice calls Echidna "Mother," and it is clearly stated that Echidna is the one who created Beatrice. In other words, Beatrice is an artificial spirit created by an artificial force.
A Certain Person
So what exactly is Beatrice's purpose? According to Echidna, Beatrice's purpose is to "wait for a certain person." In other words, Beatrice has been waiting for a certain person designated by Echidna for 400 years.
Keep Waiting for That Person
Beatrice has been waiting for that person for 400 years, but in the story, Echidna reveals that "that person doesn't even exist." In other words, Echidna didn't specify a person, and instead instructed Beatrice to "keep waiting for a certain person" because she wanted to know how Beatrice would act.
Relationship with Subaru
Here, I would like to explain the relationship between Beatrice and Subaru, the main character of this work. In particular, the relationship between Beatrice and Subaru will change completely from the second half of the second season, so let's start preparing and reviewing now.
Subaru's genius intuition
The first thing that comes to mind about Subaru and Beatrice's relationship is that Subaru can use his genius intuition to pinpoint the room Beatrice is in. The library managed by Beatrice can be reached by opening one of the vast number of doors in the Roswaal Mansion, but for some reason Subaru can guess which of the vast number of doors in the Roswaal Mansion Beatrice is in.
Everything is according to the Gospels
In season 2, Beatrice possesses the Gospels and clearly states that she acts in accordance with the Gospels. However, in reality, all the entries in the Gospels have been left blank, and Beatrice is troubled about how she should act.
Beatrice and Subaru team up! !
After waiting for a certain person for 400 years, Beatrice was mentally exhausted by the fact that the Gospel, which was a guide to her actions, had become blank. However, Subaru decided to accept Beatrice as a person. This allowed Beatrice to find a guide to living again, and Subaru succeeded in acquiring a significant fighting force for himself.
Tsundere type
Since Beatrice and Subaru teamed up, Beatrice's attitude towards Subaru has changed a little. Her fundamental personality is still tsundere, but she no longer hits Subaru as harshly as before.
The nickname "young girl user"
With Beatrice as his ally, Subaru is like a demon with a hammer, but there are not many good things about having Beatrice as a ally. Subaru, who fights with a small girl, is later given the nickname "young girl user".
A reliable force in the future
Although he was given the name "Young Girl User", teaming up with Beatrice was a big advantage. For Subaru, who has almost no fighting ability of his own, it is no exaggeration to say that his contract with Beatrice will be his most reliable force in the future.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to what's to come! !
Beatrice's activities will begin in the second half of the second season. That's why it can be said that Beatrice is the character we're most looking forward to seeing more of.
Summary
What did you think? This time, we explained about Beatrice, the young girl with the greatest power in "Re: Zero". As we've explained many times before, Beatrice is a character we're looking forward to seeing more of, so be sure to keep an eye on her.
