Bea was surprised at how massive the mansion was at night. She had seen it a few times during the day, but there was something about it at night that made it more glamorous. Penny was a master hostess and the decor was fitting for any and all that loved the Addams family.
She didn't quite know what to dress as, but opted for something comfortable and breathable. A bit sexy too, with its revealing back that had three strands of pearls draping over her toned muscles. It fit with the water spirit vibe she was going with. Her hair was filled with artificial blue hair extensions and sparkle makeup on her face.
Bea conversed with Penny before heading to get a drink herself. As she was, she noticed Jax looking dazed. Almost out of it. Frowning, she walked over and touched his arm. “Hey, Jax,” she smiled. “I'm about to get some fresh air. Want to escort me?” He had that look of needing an escape and she would happily provide it.

identifying features• Beatrice is a well-dressed woman, following her mother's lead of always presenting herself at her best. Even in a casual setting, shorts are always nice linen or cotton versus jeans. Skirts, dresses, or nice slacks - unless she's working in the garden or at the cemetery. If someone wants to truly see how she is without makeup, that's when to catch her. She stands at an average of 5'-7", slender and fit. Hair is almost always in a salon-level blowout and natural-looking makeup. The main thing that stands out is her Southern charm and accent.

Growing up in a traditional, Southern home - she has a set way of being a perfect hostess, and welcoming behavior. Granted, this has gotten her hurt, as people have taken advantage of it - but it is something she is working on. She's caring and polite but will give the mom glare when needed.
A bit of a hopeless romantic, Beatrice hopes to get a second chance at love. While her first marriage failed, Beatrice hopes to marry again. She's a firm believer in having second chances, not only for other people - but for herself as well. Dating has been a bit daunting, mainly due to the fact that she has lingering feelings for someone from her past.
the history
father • Arthur, Navy Cook - 62 mother • Lillian, Vocal teacher - 61 siblings • -- -- Collins, Co-Owner of Sweet Magnolia's - 32 important people • Peter Lorn, 40 - ex-husband -- -- Lorn, 20 - stepson JAX MERRICK SHEPHERD JR. , childhood friend, lingering crush hometown • Rock Hill, South Carolina overall history • Beatrice was born into a military family. Not in the typical sense, but still admirable. Her father was and still is a chef, feeding hundreds of young and seasoned Naval officers. Being around a chef all of her life, lead to her and her younger brother falling in love with cooking and baking.
Their mother worked as a vocal coach and the church choral director. Religion was a large part of the family growing up, being raised to love God and follow the scripture. This would eventually change after Beatrice's brother came out as gay, leading the family to leave the congregation.
Growing up, the Collins family became friends with the neighbors across the way - the Shepherd family. Their relationship became closer, especially after the leaving of their patriarch, Jax Sr. Beatrice found the son, Jax quite fun to be around. They had a lot of adventures, and it was a loss when Beatrice and her family moved for her father's work when she turned sixteen. The families kept in touch as best as they could before everything was lost in translation.
Beatrice moved a few more times before she went to school in New York. It was an associate's degree in culinary arts, as she couldn't afford the costly tuition of a full program. Thankfully, Beatrice's skills from her childhood skyrocketed her career quite well.
She remained in New York for a few years, which is where she met Peter Lorn, the son of a hotel owner. Beatrice was 28 and he was 32 when they married. Peter had a son from a one-night stand in college, a son whom Beatrice became quite connected with. Their marriage was fine until Beatrice and Peter began trying for a child. The marriage ended four years later when Beatrice learned she was not fertile. Peter filed for divorce, due to the fact he could not be with someone who couldn't produce another biological heir.
Despite the divorce, Beatrice kept in touch with her stepson - as his bio mother left the picture when he was thirteen. At a bit of a loss, Beatrice moved to Hickstead, where her brother moved and her parents were stationed close by. Her brother just so happened to be opening a southern-style restaurant and offered Beatrice co-ownership. She took it like a fly to honey, where she resides as a pastry chef. Her brother handling the savory side of the kitchen.
In her free time, she's picked up volunteering. Her mother began cleaning the gravestones of the local cemetery, as something to help local families that lost those in combat. Beatrice has since expanded to historical graves. She finds it calming and something that helps slow her down. One of her favorite things to do is also find the stones that list recipes and will often make those recipes. Dropping off a plate or two at the gravesite to pay homage.
Beatrice is still mourning the loss of her marriage, finding it a bit hard to pick up the pieces. She's hoping to start anew, of course - and maybe adopt when she's able. Her stepson did recently reach out to her, wanting to move where she was - something that Beatrice is looking forward to. No reason was given to her for his decision, she's just happy that he wants to be around her.
