Beauregard is a human monk. She is played by Marisha Ray.
Description
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 has been shown to have few concerns when it comes to violence, shown to have a willingness and occassionally 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.
Beau seems to exhibit highly irrational behaviour after drinking, becoming unaware of basic common-sense issues such as the legality of interfering with witnesses and assaulting town guards.
Biography
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 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.[2]
Pre-Stream
Traveling along the Amber Road, on their way to study magic at the Soltrice Academy in Rexxentrum, the trio of Fjord, Jester, and Beau saved the daughter of Reynaldo (a fisherman in Trostenwald) from a giant snake.
Chapter 1
Relationships
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.
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 rather laid back, thought Fjord is more moral and Beau more reckless.
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.
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", an unusual statement as Beau - while extremely fit - is not unusually strong.
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. It is known that Mollymauk and Beauregard don't like each other.
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
A lithe dark elf with a bald head and features that were neither really masculine nor feminine. She wore baggy pants, a short hood and mantle that stopped about halfway down her body exposing her arms and a muscular thin body. She was specially called in by Archivist Xenoth to help find Beauregard. Upon her discovery, she would later release Archivist Xenoth of any responsibility concerning her teaching. She 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.
