Beta/Relationships

Cid Kagenō / Shadow
Beta was initially having trouble being a member of Shadow Garden, as killing repulsed her and caused nightmares. Shadow soothed her spirit by telling her classical fairy tales from his world. These stories ended up being so uplifting to her that she became capable of enduring the fighting as long as it was for the sake of Shadow Garden, and by extension him. Wanting to spread her master's greatness, Beta would later publish the stories he told her under the penname 'Natsume Kafka' while unknowingly committing plagiarism.

Beta is madly in love with Cid, to the point that some of her actions are borderline stalkerish. She always carries around a notebook, in which she writes about his exploits, and she usually dreams of him rescuing her like a fairy tale princess. She is also uncharacteristically antagonistic toward anyone perceived as a love rival. On the other hand, Shadow remains oblivious to Beta's obsession with him. Although he acknowledges her skills to hide herself under a different identity, while also delivering information in secret to him.

Beta’s fanaticism is shown again when they were both transported to Earth, she threatened and vowed to kill the anonymous person (unknown to her it was Cid himself) who 'taunted' her master in an online chat room until she got banned from the chat.

Alpha
Fellow elven member and leader of the "Seven Shadows"; Alpha is the person who recruited Beta into Shadow Garden. In fact, they already knew each other before this, as they are childhood friends before they each developed Demon Possession and were exiled. As a result, Beta's loyalty to Alpha is second only to the Shadow. Beta often acts as something of a secretary to Alpha.

In the spinoff "Kage-Jitsu", the two tried to reenact Cid's torture when he was being "interrogated" by Cult members posing as Knights.

Gamma
Very little has been seen of the relationship between Beta and Gamma, but it can be said that they get along quite well, with Beta often helping her and sometimes even replacing her in her duties as president of Mitsugoshi.

Delta
Fellow member of the Seven Shades; Beta professed that Delta's like a little sister to her when she was presumed dead from tracking down John Smith (Cid).

Epsilon
Fellow elven member of the "Seven Shadows"; Epsilon views Beta as a rival for Shadow's affections due to her jealousy towards her naturally voluptuous figure. Beta, on the other hand, is oblivious to the slim elf's obvious resentment toward her, only being bothered by the latter's comments about Shadow seemingly giving her more attention. Despite their rivalry, the two can work together during missions just fine. In the Anime, Epsilon's jealously towards Beta is demonstrated in both her and Cid's flashback regarding the silver haired elf. In Epsilon's flashback, Cid taught her about slime magic and told her to change her fate and take hold of the truth. Epsilon interpreted the statement as a reference to her body and used Beta's developing body as reference.

In Cid's flashback, the preteen taught the elven stories and literature but was astonished and peeved that she would later gain notoriety without knowing that she plagiarizes them. During the flashback, the slim elf humorously cameoed as she enviously watched her through the windows.

Zeta
Fellow member of the "Seven Shadows"; Beta is unaware that she alongside Victoria is working behind her and the other members' backs by creating her own sub-faction within Shadow Garden loyal solely to her.

Eta
A fellow member of the "Seven Shadows"; Beta acknowledges Eta's intelligence, turning to her to "decipher" Shadow's message written in Japanese. Unfortunately, she does not seem to trust her morals, taking custody of Akane out of fear of what the scientist would do to the Earthling if she got her hands on her.

Rose Oriana
Beta first met Rose under her 'Natsume' guise, whose stories the latter is a big fan of. Following the Holy Ground Infiltration, they allied with Alexia to uncover the truth behind the Cult of Diablos. Later, during the God of War Tournament, when Rose was resolved to euthanize her brainwashed father, Beta respected her choice. Afterward, Rose joined Shadow Garden, thus making Beta her superior, though she remains unaware that she and Natsume are the same person. It's unknown if Beta was aware that Rose has romantic feelings for her master, Cid.

Victoria
Beta worked with Victoria during the Oriana Kingdom Operation though they have not interacted with each other. However, she alongside other members of the organization is unaware of her true allegiance to Zeta and that they are working behind their backs in hopes of immortalizing their master.

664 & 665
Beta worked with 664 and 665 during both the Blood Moon Incident and the Oriana Kingdom Operation.

Alexia Midgar
Beta despises Alexia for having previously forced Cid into a "romantic" relationship with her, viewing the princess as her love rival. As a result, upon their first meeting, Beta was uncharacteristically condescending toward her and held back her anger when Alexia constantly stomped on her foot. While they later agreed to an alliance with Rose to uncover the truth behind the Cult of Diablos, they still have an obvious dislike toward each other. Also, whilst working together, Beta would constantly annoy Alexia by acknowledging the latter's jealously of her more developed body.

After the incident regarding Rose and her kingdom, Alexia decided not to contact the author when she recollected her strained relationship with the former princess and that the author was good for nothing.

Akane Nishino
Beta brought Akane with her to the other world from Earth after having to abandon her looted Earth tech, due to them not fitting through the portal. While she initially intended to pawn her off to someone else, Beta took custody of Akane under Alpha's orders. She is unaware Akane knowing her master's previous life.

Claire Kagenō
Beta is aware of Claire's importance to Cid, which is why she usually gives high priority to matters involving her. Beta and the other members of Shadow Garden usually refer to Claire with the title of mistress as a sign of respect, the only exception to this being Alpha.
