Beatrix

Beatrix (ベアトリクス) is the first 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 Cid initially mistook her for the latter.

Her attire comprises a gray robe with tattered edges, a white bikini top, and black short shorts. She wears a leg stocking on her right leg from just above the ankle to the middle of her thigh, while her leg leg is bare save for two straps. She also wears a jewel-adorned hairband and a necklace with what appears to be a sapphire.

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.

Starting a Journey
Shortly after the death of her sister, Beatriz, the renowned Beatrix began a journey searching for signs of life of her niece, Alpha, apparently being the only living relative she has left. Due to her travels, Beatrix likely didn't learn from Beatriz that Alpha contracted Demonic Possession from a very early age, and was exiled from the elven country and her family.

The God of War Tournament
Having heard rumors of a female elf that resembled her, Beatrix travelled to the Midgar Kingdom, hoping this mysterious elf was her long lost niece. Upon her arrival, she headed to the God of War tournament where she met Cid Kagenou, and found the scent of elf on the boy. Interrogating him, she asked if he knew 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 back to the ground and offered 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 seating and gained entrance due to her friendship with Iris Midgar. Once again, she asked the spectators if they had seen an elf who resembled her, but to no avail. The spectators then asked her if anyone has caught her eye, attempting to validate her title of "War Goddess," and she replied that Cid had caught her interest, making the spectators skeptical of her abilities considering his displayed prowess.

Beatrix witnessed Iris Midgar being easily defeated by the mysterious duelist, Mundane Mann, and was impressed with his strength, desiring to face him. She watched as Mundane Mann them revealed himself to be Shadow, so Beatrix stepped in to face Shadow and the two engaged in an intense battle. But it was clear Beatrix was losing, as Shadow's technique was on a whole other level. Iris Midgar decided to help Beatrix defeat Shadow, but they were easily defeated by him.

Beatrix interrogated Shadow that, if he has so much power, why he doesn't he finish them off. Beatrix was perplexed as he replied that he was not interested in taking their lives, that he only destroys his "true enemies." Before he disappeared, Shadow reminded her and Iris that they should not lose sight of the real enemy, before he escaped in a flash of energy, leaving behind everyone surprised in the coliseum.

Powers & Abilities
Beatrix is hailed one of the strongest swordsmen in the world, with Iris Midgar openly admitting that she is stronger than her and the Cult of Diablos believing her to have inherited the power of her ancestor; the "Elf Hero" Olivier. She was even able to fight on par with the Shadow, until he got "a little serious".

Swordsmanship
Hailed as the legendary swordmaster, Beatrix is heavily skilled with the longsword, once being the champion of the God of War Tournament. An adept combatant whether fighting alone or in a team, even if she never fought with the other person before. As a testament to her abilities, she was able to fight on par with 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.

Superior Senses
Beatrix has a strong sense of smell, being able to discern the smell of other races on other people. Her eyesight is able to keep up with Shadow even as he moved at his fastest pace during their spar.

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 she came face to face with Cid, after shaking hands with him, she knew that he possessed 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.

Magic
TBA

Standard Equipment:
Beatrix wears almost no armor, either shield or body protection. She wears short yin clothing (sometimes a short skirt), a cape with a hood and a kind of warrior bra. She has inherited the strength of the Heroine Olivier, so she has confidence in it, but if necessary she can carry weapons such as:


 * Long Sword : So far the only main weapon she uses is a magical semi-adorned longsword, which allows her to fight and channel her magic in a very extreme way. Although the weapon is made of a kind of metal that is good as a conductor, more than normal metal, it is still inferior to the magic conductivity of Shadow Garden's slime weapons and suits. It is speculated that, being a special metal, its conductivity of magic must be 35% at most, compared to normal metal which is 30%.

Speed Flash Special
Beatrix has the ability to use her magic to move quickly in less than a second, something learned upon reaching the elite level of Magic Warriors and Dark Swordsmen. Unlike those who learn this, Beatrix has honed it to a degree that allowed her to be on par with Shadow for a few moments, until Shadow decided to get a little serious against her.

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.
