Beta

Beta (ベータ) (Βήτα) is the second member of Shadow Garden, being one of the original Seven Shadows. Publicly, she is known as Natsume Kafka, the author of numerous "original" pieces of literature that are actually media from Earth told to her by the Shadow.

Appearance
Beta is a beautiful young voluptuous Elf with blue pupils and shoulder-length silver hair with a left braid behind her ear, as well as a mole underneath the corner of her eye on the same side.

Her Shadow Garden outfit consists of a low-cut dark slime suit that exposes her cleavage with golden decorations around her chest, shoulder, arms and waist.

While posing as Natsume, her civilian attire comprises a white ruffle blouse that also reveals her cleavage, a dark mini-skirt skirt, black stockings, and high heels. Additionally, she also adorns a pair of glasses and necklaces, as well as a scarf around her waist.

Personality
Beta is a dedicated and loyal subordinate to Shadow Garden. She is both a great analyst, using information presented to her or she has gained from her missions, and a warrior, leading her team members to victory. While conversing with others, she remains calm and responds to them in a sophisticated manner. As Miss Natsume, she presents herself as a calm, humble young woman but won't hesitate to use her beauty to entrap her targets and get what she wants.

Beyond her loyalty to Shadow Garden is her loyalty to her master, Cid Kagenō. Beta is in love with him. She dreams of one day embracing into his arms with the most extreme of passions. Because of this, she gets extremely jealous of any girl who isn't from Shadow Garden and attempts to get close to him, particularly Princess Alexia Midgar. While off or during her duty, she has a hobby of writing a book entitled "The Chronicles of Master Shadow".

Her goal is to one day, stand next to Shadow with the power to support him in everything he does.

Powers & Abilities
Beta appears to be the "user of all, master of none" of the Seven Shades. She has shown to be a capable leader, though not at Alpha's level, a strong fighter, though not as strong as Delta, a good infiltrator, though not as good as Epsilon and Zeta, and possesses a great intellect, though not as great as Gamma and Eta.

Leadership and Lethality
She can effectively give orders to her squad and reprimands them should they disobey her. She also easily deceives others with her false identity as the meek and shy "Miss Natsume". By the time anyone realizes her true identity, she will efficiently and quickly kill them.

Swordswoman
In the game she uses a compound bow.

Acting
Similar to her master Shadow, Though well below him, and almost even with Nu, Beta is good at disguising, as she passes herself off as a novelist called to almost everyone around her with her beauty, charm and voluptuousness, if necessary, she would assume other tunas to reach your goal. Although apparently (without her partly noticing), Alexia is already suspicious of her way of acting.
