Beatrice Jones

Appearance: Obviously, Beatrice's beard is the most distinguishable feature about  her. It not only covers her mouth and chin, but even creates sideburns  that are just as thick as a man's, and connect to her hair on her head.  She usually puts her natural hair up in a bun, but sometimes lets it  down, in which case it is about shoulder length. When she is doing her  shows, she often will dress up in a dress that is very pretty and seems  to have become her trade mark, as it is much lighter than her beard.  When not 'on display' she wears much more casual clothing, which  sometimes consists of pants and a shirt, which she doesn't mind as she'd  hate for her dress to get dirty, anyways.

Personality: Kind, Gentle, and Curious. She seems fairly weak to outsiders, and  quiet. However, to those who know and speak to her they soon find she is  something of a rebel, and opposes most authority figures (within  reason, not mindlessly). She is very sympathetic to the inmates, and  always will try to talk to them if she has time.

History: Beatrice was born with a rare disorder that made her facial hair grow in  much more fuller, and faster than a normal female's. She was in a  sense, raised and brought up as a freak within a traveling freak show,  simply because her parents did not wish to deal with a child such as  her.
Beatrice grew up normally; learning to read and write in a few  scattered languages and easily learning various things about different  places, along with stories being told to her by other freaks. When she  turned 27, she met a young Contortionist, who went by the stage name of;  'The Snake Man'. Beatrice became good friends with him, and over time  the relationship matured until they were married when Beatrice turned  thirty.
Not long after, she was to give birth to a child, and so she  and her husband moved to the Carnival of Rust so that they were not  always moving about within the traveling freak show. Not long before the  baby was to be born, however, than did Beatrice's husband winde up  dead; it was not understood how exactly he had died even after his body  had been examined. Some doctors said he had snapped his spine in doing a  stunt he was not able to do, yet others said he was killed out of a  jealous rage. The charges were never filed, and Beatrice was never  deemed a suspect. Life moved on until the day she gave birth to the  baby.

Obviously, Beatrice was cut up but her husband's death, but she  would easily be able to support the child with the other members of the  carnival. That was until she was informed of a discouraging  characteristic in her baby's behavior. It was a healthy boy, but seemed  to have signs of having some sort of mental impairment. Beatrice  insisted on taking care of her son on her own, in spite of his  impairment, and took care of him until he turned three. She soon found  that it became harder and harder to take care and protect him from the  simple dangers of life at a Carnival, and with tears in her eyes gave  him up to the Asylum.

By her son's fourth birthday, Beatrice had  received news that he had passed on some months before from  complications due to the illness. Ever regretting taking him to the  Asylum, Beatrice believed that the Asylum had been the reason for her  son's death, and even though she called her husband's death a tragic  accident, nothing could make her believe the same with her son.
