How does this individual feel about overly curious/nosy people?

Prompt I 37 - Beatrix


   Beatrix... is that overly curious person. The better question is, how do the other Wayfarers put up with her?
   Well, if nothing else, she could be worse. She's at least able to take a hint when people aren't willing to share things with her - She might keep pushing anyway, granted, but she's getting better about just letting things be lately. It hasn't stopped her from getting involved in things she really has no need to get involved in, and dragging the other Wayfarers along with her, of course, but she's not as bad about it as she once was.
   When it comes to other people being excessively nosy? Well, the others might take issue with it, but Beatrix doesn't mind. If anything, she gets it. She might sometimes try to gently dissuade them from pestering her groupmates about things she herself hasn't been able to pry out of them, because she's finally started to realize that there are some things people just won't share, but that's about all she'll do to stop them herself - Each of the Wayfarers has their own limit, certain things they're not willing to discuss, and the questioner is probably smart enough, she's sure they can learn to back off when it's appropriate on their own.
   And, personally, she doesn't mind being questioned herself. She's kind of an open book, if we're being honest. It's kind of nice to have someone to talk to who's interested in her thoughts and feelings and opinions and experiences and whatever else they're asking about, actually. Want to talk crushes? Not gonna lie, Amara's kind of cute. Weird, but cute. That dragon she can summon is rad. Oh, wanna hear about that time she got dragged into a war? Haha, yeah, that was wack. Want to know about her past, like before she started the Wayfarers? She'd be glad to tell you about her time with Alyssa and the other humans she's looking for...
   ...She...
   Well... Normally, she'd be glad to, but she's having some trouble remembering the details now. What was that show Lyssa liked again?
   ...Why can't she remember her face...?
   ...Oh, god, she can't remember her face.
   You know what? Maybe she needs to reconsider her limits on what she's willing to talk about. Maybe you shouldn't push this one after all. You should probably back off for now.
