Beatrix:
Bela's rival is one of the main stars of the Cirque de Catres.
-The irony of working in a place that is fun to people then moonlighting with murdering is not lost on her.
-Different from Cerebella's story mode where the fall was dramatic, Bea's was a very smooth slope. Before the time she was doing hits for the mafia she was already to deep in the business. When she killed for the first time it was with a cool realization with what she was.
-The shows that are scripted by her are usually acclaimed by critiques and have a dedicated following, but small. In contrast to the other shows of the circus who are usually designed to draw smiles, her illusion shows are stories and tales that leaves salt in the eyes and bitterness in the mouth. Because of that most of her shows are scripted by other circus staff.
-When she still gave a damn she also scripted shows who would make a point. One of the most famous was "The Man who Knew no Math", where the main character was a poor sob who didn't understand interest makes a deal. After a few presentations the mafia loan sharks demanded it to be stopped because it was bad for business. After that her scripts started to be edited.
-While her circus presentations are good thanks to Bea's competence their quality is affected by the fact that she doesn't really get into them and because Beatrix
HATES fake smiles. When she was pressured to do so she went the extra mile and gave one in the show. The reviewers said that if it had more warmth it could look like a lizard about to eat a baby chick. She never gives a genuine smile to make you feel good, there is always a hint of spite. She can smile for other reasons.
-She liked magic shows since she was a child. Is also a book reader. Her favorite genres are philosophy and fiction.
-She doesn't have any sentimental loyalty to anyone in the mob. If asked why she is still she will say that is to kill her boredom from time to time, the money is good enough, it is not exactly a job that you can leave and she sees little difference between for which gang you kill (gangsters, poor people, rich people, cops, the army).
-She won't answer, although she believes: Scum belongs with scum and I am just too apathetic to give a damn anymore.
-Has a really hard time connecting with people. Her relation with most mob members is just respectful professionalism. She can have a pleasant time with people and will remember names but it never lasts.
--She is cynical and jaded as hell. She thinks that all relationships, like human lives, are fated to end in one way or another and endure mainly on pleasure or comodism. Even authentic love ends and the heart goes on, and gets another love, and it ends, and goes on...
-She hates naivety and baseless optimism. That is one of the reasons she hates Cerebella: "It is like she can't smell all the blood around". She is not crazy about Hubrecht either considering him also a naive fool who is too touchy friendly. As for Feng, she considers her a good person with a bit more of perception of her surroundings. She will feel a bit sad if she will be the one to deal with her in the future.
-She is an efficient assassin. And while she gets a thrill from the job challenge she doesn't play around. She thinks begging, and twitching are annoying, and physical torture is bad taste. Most of the times her targets don't know what hit them. Also, she is well aware that illusions, like lies maintain their power while not exposed.
-She is an efficient assassin. She is the less noisy among the Medici murderers and excels in infiltrating in secure places. She considers her assassinations like magic shows done only to her target. While she is good at getting at her targets unnoticed she allows herself a moment of eccentricity. She usually gives her targets the realization that they are going to die even if it is just for a moment before finishing.
"The curtains of illusion falls and reality shows itself. And there is only death."
-Has a sense of sadism developed with her line of work and bitterness. She doesn't like physical torture, considering it distasteful. What she likes is the realization of a cruel truth.
-Curiously she has no resentment towards cops, soldiers and avengers. It is just natural for bad people to be hated. She won't take the initiative to avenge a dead "comrade". But she will go after people who crosses her.
