Beatrix

Beatrix (ベアトリクス) is the champion of the Bushin Festival and is presumed to be the long lost aunt of Alpha.

Appearance
Beatrix is a beautiful Elf with refined features and a voluptuous figure. She has long platinum hair, blue eyes, and near pale-colored skin. Cid notes that she greatly resembles Alpha, to the point she initially mistook her for the latter.

Her attire comprises a gray robe, a white bikini top, and a white long skirt. She also wears a jewel-adorned hairband and a necklace.

Personality
Beatrix is a stoic individual but is socially awkward, confusing others with her strange behavior. Despite this, she is shown to be determined to find her niece and shows respect towards others.

The God of War Tournament
Beatrix travelled to the Midgar Kingdom, having learnt of rumors of a female elf that resembled her. She hoped the mysterious elf was her long lost niece. Upon her arrival, she headed to the God of War tournament where she met Cid. Discovering the scent of elf on the boy, she interrogated him, asking him if he knows an elf who shared a resemblance with her. Met with a disappointing answer, she then tested Cid by swinging her blade at him, stopping right before his neck. Contrary to her expectations, the boy fell to the ground, offering a generic scared reaction. Apologizing for her misjudgment, the two parted ways, but not before she complimented Cid, declaring that he will surely become a strong Dark Knight.

The following day, Beatrix went to the tournament's reserved seatings, gaining entrance due to her friendship with Iris Midgar. Once again, she asked the spectators if they had seen an elf who looked like her. Following her question, the spectators then asked her if anyone has caught her eye; attempting to validate her title of "War Goddess". She replied that Cid had caught her interest, making the spectators skeptical of her abilities.

Beatrix witnessed Iris Midgar being easily defeated by a mysterious duelist, Mundane Mann. She was impressed with his strength and desired to face him. She watched Mundane Mann revealed himself to be Shadow. Beatrix stepped in to face Shadow and the two engaged in an intense battle but it was clear Beatrix was losing. Iris Midgar decided to help Beatrix defeat Shadow, but they are easily defeated by him.

Beatrix strongly tells Shadow that if he has so much power, why doesn't he finish them off? To which he replies that he is not interested in taking their lives, that he only destroys his "true enemies" and that they should not lose sight of them. then shadow leaves in a flash of energy leaving behind everyone surprised in the coliseum.

Swordsmanship
Hailed as the legendary swordmaster, Beatrix is heavily skilled with the longsword, once being the champion of the God of War Tournament. Not only can she fight alone, but she is also skilled in teamwork even if she never fought with the other person before. As a testament to her abilities, she was able to fight on par with the Shadow for a short while. However, this was only because he was holding back, and she was easily overpowered once He got a little serious..

Smell Sensitive
Beatrix has a strong sense of smell, being able to discern the smell of other races on other people.

Warrior Senses
Beatrix also has sharp instincts honed through her experiences as a swordswoman. She can determine the strength of others just by her instincts alone. She was also able to defend against Shadow's 'invisible' blade for a short duration.

Although it should be noted that this ability that Beatrix has is not fully perfected since although she may know how strong and powerful a person can become just by touching her, until you get to perceive it,, she does not know exactly what kind of warrior she is or can become, or if he is deliberately hiding all his strength or identity, since when he came face to face with Cid, after shaking hands with him, he knew that he possesses great talent and power but could not guess his secret identity as such at the same time. confront him as Shadow on the tournament field.

This is a very special ability that can only be gained with strong experience in both swordsmanship and other skills, as Shadow also possesses this form in a certain way, the same ability as Beatrix but at a higher level.

Niece
Beatrix appears to greatly care about the well-being of her niece (heavily implied to be Alpha), traveling the world in hopes of finding her and threatening anyone who might have some information on her whereabouts.

Cid Kagenō / Shadow
The two met during the Bushin Festival. Beatrix not only picked up Elf scent on Cid but also sensed great power within the boy. She asked him if he met her niece to which he denied.

When she fought him as Shadow, Beatrix acknowledged him as an incredibly powerful warrior.

Iris Midgar
The two respected each other and worked together in taking down Shadow.
