Come one, come all, and browse the wares of the great Beatrice "Beato" Rothschild! - Fire Emblem Fates: Legacy of the Empyrean Throne [hider="This one's reeeeeal special, now, don't tell anyone, but I'll take five percent off, just for you!"] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/GjZYfCt.png[/img][/center] [indent][color=C4A484][b]Name: [/b][/color] Beatrice “Beato” Rothschild [color=C4A484][b]Age:[/b][/color] 28 [color=C4A484][b]Nationality:[/b][/color] Nohrian, but she’s barely beholden to her home country. [color=C4A484][b]Class:[/b][/color] Merchant – prefers the bow, but can use lances in a pinch. [color=C4A484][b]Role:[/b][/color] Treasurer [hr] [color=C4A484][b]Appearance: [/b][/color] [indent]Almost entirely average in stature, build, and appearance, Beato stands at 165cm, barely imposing by a warrior’s standards. Don’t be fooled, though. She’s got a groin-shattering kick strong enough to make the tallest warrior crumple down to her height, courtesy of the teachings of her equally-average mother. Otherwise, her brown hair, light eyes, and plain clothing barely work to differentiate her from the rest of the Nohrian population.[/indent] [color=C4A484][b]Personality:[/b][/color] [indent]V-O-L-U-M-E, what does that spell? Beato, of course! She was gifted with a powerful set of lungs and by golly she will USE THEM! ‘Course, the work of a treasurer is supposed to be subtle, but that doesn’t mean the treasurer herself has to be! Beato is always serious about her work (money is NOT a laughing matter) but she’s always MORE than ready to join her comrades in songs, arguments, face-offs, rants, and insult wars with the best of ‘em. Hear the cackling laugh of a hyena in camp? That’s Beato! Make sure to say hi, stop for some tea and snacks, and try not get your nads blown out when she hears you broke your fifth lance this month. Cheers![/indent] [color=C4A484][b]History:[/b][/color] [indent]The Rothschilds had always been tied to money, ever since Beato’s great-great-a-buncha-greats-grandfather established the very first Bank of Nohr (unofficial). Unfortunately, they fell victim to an unfortunate series of mishaps (Beato will tell the story for 5g), leading to the family taking up their arms and becoming merchants instead! Beato was trained from a young age to measure, count, and calculate with the best, and those steady hands and keen eyes proved to be a boon for combat as well. Bow and pack in tow, Beato signed onto the Silver Hawks at 23, and rose to the position of Treasurer a year later after her predecessor found himself caught in the jaws of some loan sharks. Now, she won’t let something as measly as monsters or politics get in her way–not when there are checkbooks to balance and ledgers to file. The “Silver” in the Silver Hawks is in good hands.[/indent] [hr] [color=C4A484][b]Skills:[/b][/color] [list][*]Calculator ~ Very quick and accurate mental calculations–can do up to 5 digits in her head, 10 digits with an abacus. [*]Scale ~ Incredible sense of weight and distance–she can pick something up and give an excellent estimate of its dimensions and mass. [*]Haggler ~ Rather than talking prices down, Beato excels at driving up the value of her goods. Comes in handy when selling various pelts or valuables the company picks up along their adventures. [*]Recall ~ Frighteningly good memory. [*]Foghorn ~ Loudest in any given competition, whether it's shouting, singing, whistling, clanging, stealth missions… [/list] [hider=Relationships] [b]Bhaskara[/b] - “I don’t know him [i]thaaaaat[/i] well, cuz he’s new and all, but I can kinda get the vibe just from a look, you know? Eager to prove himself, quick to action, yada yada yada. I like that attitude! Though, he DOES seem like the type to get scammed at an Oshan market… I’ll have to keep an eye on him next time we stop by…” [b]Satoshi[/b] - “Just wonderful. He’s only been ‘round a bit, but he’s always offerin’ to carry things and help out. And his aim is so damn good! And, ya know, lotsa the crew send money back home to family and whatnot, but Satoshi seems reeeeeeal careful-like about his cash. I can appreciate that! It ain’t my responsibility what you do with your pay, I just give y’all the damn gold, but it warms my heart when ya spend it on sumn’ worthwhile ‘stead of [i]another[/i] outfit.” [b]Berit[/b] - “I loooooove Berry, she’s so nice. Always offers to wash my back! And her cookin’ is sooooooo good. Not like mine. I remember I made her a roast once, and she took one look at it and tossed it to Penrod. And then the stupid scaly shit spat it out at me! The absolute nerve!” [b]Penrod[/b] - “My greatest rival. Ya don’t know despair until you’re starin’ down the invoice for 30 pounds of raw beef. Or a respondin' to a formal complaint from a local lord for spookin’ the sheep out of their pen. Or tryin’ to wash out wyvern spit and half-chewed lamb out of your hair. I’ll get that overgrown airborne lapdog someday, I swear!” [b]Izumi[/b] - “Too damn quiet. She never wants to join in on songs. What’s the deal? Her voice is so nice… And her abs… I’d like to get a charcoal rubbing of those babies, there’s definitely some people who’d pay good money for sumn’ like that.” [b]Nerea[/b] - “Nerry’s [i]hilarious[/i]. I don’t know how anyone keeps a straight face ‘round her! One time, we were finishin’ up a job in a small Nohrian village, right, and this little kid, he runs up to her and shoves a HUGE dung beetle into her hand as thanks. The face she made! It almost made up for the brain-jumblin’ hex she threw at me for laughin’ my ass off. I had to manually calculate things for a week!” [b]Jason[/b] - “Jason’s alright. Though, I think it’s kinda weird how he doesn’t wear a damn shirt half the time. At least it saves money on clothes, I guess. Don’t need to buy new shirts after battles if you ain’t wearin’ one!” [b]Noriko[/b] - “Nori parties like the best of us. Better, probably. She’s just damn good at whatever she does, whether it’s cookin’ or swimmin’ or breakin’ bones. That stuff about her and the old captain is just crockpot, though. She’s led us this far, and we’ve seen GREAT financial success in the last twelve quarters, too. I’d trust her with just about anythin’ at this point." [b]Toda[/b] - “Toooooooooooooooda!!! C’mere! Oh, he’s not around? Figures. He’s always off doin’ god-knows-what on his own. He’s nice, though, just a little quiet. Hey, between you and me? Ya wouldn’t know it by lookin’, but he actually likes parties. Or at least, that’s what I think. He sits by the fire or at a table, and just relaxes, with a cute little smile. Don’t let him catch ya starin’, though. The grin slides off his face faster than my pancakes slip onto the floor.” [b]Kallun[/b] - “He’s kinda like a dog. Not in a bad way, mind ya, but the way he acts ‘round opponents, you’d think his master told him ‘sic!’ and BOOM, off he goes! There’s just sumn' about him that makes me wanna trust him with my life, ya know? Like a feelin’ of dependability. Helps that he actually drinks with us when we’re celebratin’, unlike [i]some[/i] people I know.” [b]Alba[/b] - “She tries hard, I’ll give her that. Alba could DEFINITELY crack more jokes, though. She’ll sometimes start a sentence and clamp down her mouth faster than a bear trap. What’s she worried about, anyway? Not like [i]I’ve[/i] been kicked out yet, and I guarantee I’ve said worse shit about Nori." [b]Sanji[/b] - “Sanji’s adorable. Oh, don’t gimme that look, I know he’s only a year or two younger than me. I just mean in the way he acts! He’s always so quiet about things. Ya gotta lighten up a bit, spill the beans, ya know? And he’s better with a bow than he thinks. I’m not the BEST shot around, ain’t no way, but even I can tell he’s got potential. The potions he makes, though, those babies are GREAT! I’m thinkin’ a whole line of ‘em, maybe a nice logo, a catchphrase too, sumn' like 'put to the test, drink with the best! Try Sanji's Superior Supplements today!'" [b]Celeste[/b] - “I don’t get Celeste. Look, don’t get me wrong, she’s really funny and pretty and I love her lil’ shows, but I don’t get why she’s [i]here,[/i] of all places. You know. Look ‘round! You see these woods? The grass? Look back at her. She dresses like she’s about to attend a party! And not one of the fun parties, like the kind we have. I mean the boring royal kinda party, where everyone preens up and acts all stuffy and the women wear corsets and the dudes wear codpieces and all that vainglorious tripe." [b]Kaitlyn[/b] - “Who? Oh, ya mean the maid? Lemme tell ya, I don’t know how she does it! We’re out here all hikin’ and sweatin’ our asses off and she’s just totally clean and pristine. I tried to get her to teach me to cook, but every time I wanna ask her about it I just can’t find her anywhere! It’s like she's a ghost, it gives me the shivers…” [b]Nina[/b] - “I wish Nina could stop pokin’ about the secrets of the universe and join us in drinkin’ a bit. I swear, it’s like she’s not even TRYIN’ to have a social life. And she could do so well! Have you [i]seen[/i] those HONKERS?? Hell, she wouldn’t even need magic, just one good look and our enemies would be [i]beggin’[/i] to shack up with the crew. But nope! All alone in her tent, studyin’ or brewin’ or whatever. Such a damn shame.” [/hider] [hider=theme song!][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1alAGJydxI[/youtube][/hider] [color=C4A484][b]Trivia:[/b][/color] [list][*]Atrocious cook ~ Creates edible but incredibly disheartening food, even with recipes[/list] [/indent] [/hider]
