Bea doesn’t tell the truth, but you’d never really know it. 

There's no denying that she possesses an uncanny ability to be incredibly convincing - making you feel like the most important person in the world to her when she needs to, and equally shattering your self-esteem with a few choice words if she so desires, and sometimes, she does. Bea knows what she wants and no obstacle is too great for her, including your feelings.

One of her most remarkable skills is her ability to read people swiftly and astutely. She can decipher intentions and motivations with ease. She learned from the best, and has weaponised the lesson. 

Bea yearns for a sense of belonging and acceptance in a world that has continuously rejected and humiliated her, to be truly seen as an artist. Her tales of a rich life serve as a shield, protecting her from the harsh judgments and ridicule that have haunted her past. She takes refuge in the realm of her lies and her fabricated stories, in her characters, and in the monologues she’s memorised to give out as sermons of truth. The more that people believe her lies, the more she feels she can keep them at arm's length.

Ultimately, her disdain for the industry clashes with her true love for performing. She hates that it is tainted, and she still craves the spotlight and the stage more than anything else. She is only truly alive when performing, there is power in holding your audience in the palm of you hand, captivated. If she is at the top of her game, she can break free from the toxicity and pave her own way. Beneath it all, at her very core - she still believes in the beauty of art, in the music, and that the show must go on. But if you asked her? It’s the thought of becoming a nobody, that is a fate she simply cannot bear.

The art of [color=ec008c][b]manipulation[/b][/color] comes naturally to Bea. Her ability to read people swiftly allows her to discern their desires and vulnerabilities which she exploits to achieve her own ends. Whether it's to gain favour, secure opportunities, or to maintain her lies, she isn't hesitant to use her persuasive charm to manipulate situations and people to her advantage.

Coupled with manipulation is her [color=ec008c][b]compulsive lying[/b][/color]. Bea's lies range from embellishing her achievements, to crafting entire temporary personas to toy with people.

Bea's penchant for lying extends to the creation of her fantasy of extravagance. She alludes to a life of luxury and wealth. The penthouse apartment, high-profile connections, and glamorous parties… She weaves an enticing web of fabricated reality. However, the truth is far from glamorous. In reality, Bea shares the same struggles as everyone else. Leading a less than modest life in a tiny one-bedroom apartment with her dog, Cookie.

First and foremost, Bea's [color=ec008c][b]charisma[/b][/color] is undeniable. From the moment she enters a room, her presence draws people in. While she often uses it to manipulate, her ability to effortlessly connect with others and leave a lasting impression has been both a gift and a powerful tool in her pursuit of success. Whether on stage or in a casual conversation, she exudes a charisma that commands attention.

Bea has unwavering [color=ec008c][b]determination[/b][/color]. A force that drives her forward despite the countless obstacles that have come her way. She refuses to back down when faced with setbacks or criticism.
