Beatrice

Beatrice Miller is one of the titular protagonists and main characters of the Archie & Beatrice story. She is the daughter of Thomas and Trina as well as best friend-turned-girlfriend of Archie. In an alternate universe (and possible future) she is also the mother of Holly.

After her discovery of an unidentified ghost in an abandoned house when she was seven years old she has made it her life goal to gather as much knowledge about paranormality as she can. Her life goal is to become an educator around paranormality and pass the knowledge of the ghost realm onto the coming generations.

Appearance
Beatrice is short and slim. She wears heavy black eye shadow and she's got brown freckles on her face. Her hair is big, blonde, something between wavy and curly that reaches down to chest height. She's usually seen with a cow lick at the upper back of her head.

Her usual outfit consists of a black tight elbow-length sleeved shirt, and a ripped grey pair of jeans. She isn't often seen wearing any shoes inside.

Personality
There are three words to describe Beatrice with. Affectionate, responsible and salty. Beatrice is immensly affectionate to everyone she considers a friend. She cares for her friends more than she cares for herself and that has often put her in some bad situations. She cherishes every relationship she has and is always there for anyone having a bad time. She is especially affectionate to Archie, and has developed a slight case of separation anxiety that she's working on getting rid of. Beatrice is responsible, she takes her future very seriously and therefore spends as much time as she can on studying for the best grades. This almost always leaves her frustrated and unfocused however, and she's working together with Archie to cut her studying time down to a reasonable amount. She's almost always the one that has to solve Archie's problems, as shown in the chapter Blockula on a visit to the Shake'n'break, where Beatrice payed off Archie's tab when the bartender refused to serve them anything. She has also pulled him out from several different places to avoid fights with whoever Archie managed to piss off this time. Beatrice's most prominent personality trait, however, is salt. Her default emotion is grumpiness, whether she's studying, reading, bored or in class she's got an RBF on. She's got a very short fuse, and gets annoyed at the smallest of things. This is residue left from the anger issues the struggled with as a kid. She's very afraid of heights and this has put her in a lot for trouble.

Past issues
Due to past trauma she used to be extremely afraid of conflicts, but over the course of time she's gotten a lot stronger and confident in herself and she can now engage in conflicts without having a panic attack afterwards.

After what happened to her when she was 13 years old, she developed anger issues, depression, PTSD and anxiety disorder. She struggled with these issues for a long time and after several failed attempts from her parents to put her in therapy she met Bridget. Bridget convinced Beatrice to finally get herself together and after a few years of therapy she's finally where she is today, managing her issues in a healthy and working way.

Backstory
TBA

Archie
Archie is Beatrice's boyfriend. They share a very close bond, they are very healthy and happy with each other. Archie helped her grow confident in herself and realise that she isn't as bad as she thought she was. However, Archie is also the person that goes Beatrice on the nerves the most. Due to her obsession with studying and her distaste for being interrupted in it, she very often gets annoyed when Archie tries to pry her off the desk for a cuddle. It doesn't get better either that Archie has a tendency to tease and push her over the line more often than he probably should, which in terms just makes her even more irritated at him. She can usually calm down from it fairly easily with a nice cuddle and some affection, but that's not always the case.

The first time Beatrice summoned Archie into her house it went to shit. Archie, not being very tamed at this point in time, pulled on her nerves non stop. He would constantly step over her boundaries which resulted in Beatrice obviously being reluctant to let him into her world. She held her head up high however, and didn't stop letting him inside. She did this in hopes that one day he would warm up to her so they could properly get to know each other. After about

Genderbend AU
In the genderbent alternaive universe, we see Beatrice as a male, isntead of a female. Her name is Pontus in this universe, and her boyfriend Archie is now Abbie. This universe has basically the same story as the original, but with the twist of them now being the opposite genders.

Afterlife AU
In this alternate universe, a witch has lain a curse on Beatrice that was supposed to make it impossible for her to become a ghost in the afterlife and just simply cease to exsist instead, but by some strange force the curse was lifted, and when Beatrice dies a few weeks later, she comes back to earth as a ghost. She is flung to Tokyo, Japan, because the place where she died (at home) is already the terriotry of another ghost (Archie), and therefore she was instead flung to the first random spot in the world where there's an available empty spot. The story then follows how Beatrice is trying to find her way back home and how the people at home (who obviously think she's dead) deals with the loss.
