Beauregard Lionett

Beauregard is a human monk of The Cobalt Soul. 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, that has embroidered script from the Cobalt Soul written on the interior in the backside. Her hair is shaved into an undercut. She also customized her coat so she can turn it inside out, having it cobalt blue on one side and a normal brown on the other

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 Soul.



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.

Beau is not fond of authority figures, which caused problems during her time with the Cobalt Soul. This attitude occasionally extended to other party members who tried to commandeer a situation.

Beau can often be flirty towards women, and has shown similar interest in 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. Her flirting has not extended to Jester, whom she frequently shares a room with; which implies a mainly platonic friendship between the two. Beauregard's hiring of a female courtesan at The Landlocked Lady in and her sleeping with Keg in  shows her attraction to the same-sex.

Background
Beauregard'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.

Beau thought little of her father as she grew up, and possibly out of a need for revenge, began to steal and resell his wine at cost. This lead to her committing other crimes, including extortion and moneylending. One day her father found out and hired a group of monks from the Cobalt Reserve to "abduct" Beau, believing that they would reform her. It is implied that Beau's father thought that the monks were strictly librarians, however they were also martial artists and attempted to teach Beau the discipline her father wanted while also training her in hand-to-hand combat. As seen throughout the campaign, only one of these lessons stuck.

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. A few days later Beau attempted to get a "good look" at the naked Yasha in the bathhouse in Zadash by delaying her own departure from the bath, an effort which was successful. After Beau asked Caleb to bring her back some throwing stars he gave Beau's money to Yasha remarking how she would have liked them better coming from Yasha. When Caleb had cast Enlarge on Yasha during the Victory Pit, Beau had commented that she dreamed about it before. After the Victory Pit while attempting to spy on Trent Ikithon and another person, Beau led Yasha by the small of her back to a window next to the pair. While on watch, Beau tried flirting with Yasha by initially asking if she wanted to huddle together for warmth which seemingly didn't get through to Yasha. Although while on the same watch the two discussed how "this is as far as [Yasha'd] ever been" away from Xhorhas. During battle when Yasha revealed her wings while using Necrotic Shroud Beau remarked "You [Yasha] look fuckin' hot." Later, Beau pretended to faint into Yasha's arms after the Mighty Nein had defeated the death robot in the prison's basement. After the "fainting" Yasha cast healing hands on Beau to which she remarked "[Yasha] make me feel so warm inside." Beau was the first one to find Yasha chained and unconscious in her cell under the Sour Nest. While Yasha was mourning at Molly's grave Beau along with Jester each put a hand on one of her shoulders.

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".

Following Caleb's admission to Beau of his past, the two seem to be getting along better, including staying together more often and aiding one another in combat.

In return for Caleb telling her about his past, and seeing his desire to enter the Archive of the Cobalt Soul, she promised to take him there, and confided in him that she was a member of the library, showing him the script she had hidden within her belt denoting her membership. She later kept to her promise and accompanied him to the Archive.

Nott
Beau and Nott have been warming up to one another, largely due to their mutual friendship with Caleb.

Mollymauk Tealeaf
Beau and Molly had an interesting relationship. Beau's natural suspiciousness of people combined with Molly's flamboyant lies and deflection caused friction at first, but after Molly's backstory reveal Beau admitted to liking him better. The two got high together off the skein they bought in Trostenwald, and their relationship is now less antagonistic. At the Harvest Close Festival, Beau used the two wooden swords Nott won to impersonate Molly, and after Beau drank numerous half-empty mugs of leftover alcohol from a bar, Molly called her a "trash person", but paradoxically not in an insulting manner.

After Molly's death, Beau displayed a new tenderness towards her fallen companion, speaking in particular about how she doubted his "leave things better than you find them" attitude at first, but eventually grew to understand it.

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.

Keg
Beau frequently impressed and arouses Keg with her skills. Beau admits to being aroused by her at one point. After they slay Lorenzo, she asks Keg to spend the night with her, an offer which she accepts.

Trivia

 * Beau is unofficially the party's treasurer.
 * Marisha implied on Talks Machina that Beau's Monastic Tradition when she became Level 3 would be Matt's homebrewed Way of the Cobalt Soul (which can be found in the "Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting"). Beau indeed accepted the Way of the Cobalt Soul during a single-player RP session during Episode 119. Marisha also detailed that Beau's fighting style is based on a Russian martial art called "systema."
 * She got the first "How do you want to do this?" of the campaign.
 * "Beauregard" means "beautiful gaze" when translated from French.
 * The spelling of "Kamordah" was confirmed by the official map from Deven Rue.
 * Beau has a seemingly endless supply of "pocket bacon".
 * Although not knowing anything about the new owner of The Leaky Tap, Lauren Schvine, Beau actively formed a negative opinion of her and didn't want to get to like her due to wanting to someday own a tavern herself.
 * While on watch with Molly, Beau stated that she hated his tarot cards. She chose to keep them as a memento of him.
 * While playing a game of chance with Molly, Beau revealed the the best lie she ever told was when, not liking a politician and his wife in the town she grew up in, she worked as a house hand for them as a means to dig up dirt on them. She found out that they were each cheating on each other, causing them to break up when she exposed the information.
 * As part of an ongoing joke, Marisha flipped Kegs bit of "Keg is aroused" onto Keg during the first Campaign 2 Live Show, saying "Beau is aroused."
