Beauregard Lionett

Beauregard is a human monk. She is played by Marisha Ray.

Appearance
Beau wears baggy clothes and monk vestments in shades of blue and gray. She has a blue sash around her belt. Her hair is shaved into an undercut. She looks like maybe she put on makeup two days ago and said, "Yeah, it's still holding up. It's fine, I can work with that."

Personality
Beau is a simple girl with simple needs. She is not an egomaniac, and she demands that credit be given to the group as a whole. She regards those she doesn't know well with a certain degree of suspicion and continues to press for straight answers whenever someone tries to deflect a question she's asked. She is usually laid back and not very invested in others. Beau's attitude towards other people can be summed up as "do whatever you want, but if it fucks with my shit we're going to have issues."

Beau has been shown to have few concerns when it comes to violence, shown to have a willingness and occasionally an eagerness to harm others if it serves her interests. This aggressive attitude is one of the reasons she was so at odds with mentors within the Cobalt Reserve.

While she can be short-sighted, rash, and often goes along with or even initiates the jokes or silly plans her traveling companions (especially Jester) partake in, Beau is far more clever and wise than she lets on.

Beau's flirty behavior when in the presence of Yasha suggests that she is attracted to women. She has shown similar interest in a few other female characters, notably calling Expositor Dairon "very attractive" as soon as she saw the elf without her concealing cloak, and flirting with Kara at The Evening Nip. However, her flirting has not extended to Jester, whom she frequently shares a room with.



Beau is particularly bad at interacting with other people in a positive manner, frequently coming off as insulting when she tries to give compliments or straining credulity when she attempts to be polite. In order to improve her lacking social skills, Fjord suggested that she smile more. However, due to Beau's normally hostile personality, her smiles tend to come off as either unsettling or extremely disingenuous.

Background
Beau's parents were in the wine-making business in Kamordah. Beau was made to manage the bookkeeping. As the winery's most frequent customers were Halflings, Beau learned the Halfling language as a result.

She mentioned to Bo "The Breaker" that her name was Beauregard because her parents wanted a son.

Beauregard's father paid Archivist Xenoth to take her in, teach and train her in the disciplines and lifestyle of monkhood. Although showing great promise, her personality clashed with that of her teachers and so she ran away on a journey to help figure out her personal philosophy. It was on this journey where she met the other characters.

Pre-Stream
Traveling along the Amber Road, on their way to study magic at the Soltryce Academy in Rexxentrum, the trio of Fjord, Jester, and Beau saved the daughter of Rinaldo (a fisherman in Trostenwald) from a giant snake.

Jester
Jester is the quirky compatriot of Fjord, whom Beau met about a day before the rest of the party. The trio fought a snake together before the events of the first episode. Beau gave Jester her healing kit, of which Jester was very appreciative. They have been roommates at every place the group has stayed so far, and Jester is one of the few people Beau has shown open kindness to.

Fjord
Beau met Fjord, along with Jester, about a day before the rest of the party. The trio fought a snake together before the events of the first episode. Beau and Fjord seemed to have already established some trust and rapport as both are laid back, though Fjord tends towards being charming (if, at times, disingenuous) while Beau, in contrast, is blunt and outspoken. They seem to be the "go-getters" of the group when it comes to making contacts and steering the direction of The Mighty Nein.

Yasha
Beau was initially opposed to relinquishing her staff in order to see the carnival, but instantly agreed when Yasha offered to carry her to her seat. Later, she asked Yasha to "hold [her] through the show", though Yasha refused without proper payment. Later Beau attempted to get a "good look" at the naked Yasha in the bathhouse by delaying her own departure from the bath, an effort which was successful.

Caleb Widogast
Caleb was very impressed with Beau and her physical fitness. He credited the success of Jester, Beau, and Fjord against the giant snake to her "guns".

Nott
Beau is the least trusting of Nott.

Mollymauk Tealeaf
Beau is also untrusting of Mollymauk due to his conman lifestyle and unwillingness to answer her questions. Mollymauk and Beau are immediately antagonistic, although they seem to work well together on missions. Beau admitted she likes Molly a little better now that he has revealed more of his backstory.

Archivist Xenoth
Beauregard's father paid him to take her in, teach and train her in the disciplines and lifestyle of monkhood and the ways of the Knowing Mistress.

Expositor Dairon
The expositor was specially called in by Archivist Xenoth to help find Beauregard, whereupon Dairon released Archivist Xenoth from any responsibility concerning Beau's teaching. Dairon then trained Beauregard in the monk tradition of the Way of the Cobalt Soul late at night within a warehouse belonging to the Baumbauch Family Brewery.
