To start with, Beau does not have the best control over her mouth. While not a talkative, social creature, she does have a tendency to bluntly speak her mind, regardless of the consequences. She is short-sighted in many ways, not looking far enough ahead to see how her words might affect a person or a situation. Instead she is focused only on her immediate desire or need. While she thinks she knows what will come of her admissions, she often gets caught on the wrong foot, which makes her all the more protective of herself in the future.
She speaks her mind in a terse fashion, getting her point across certainly, but without any kind of charisma or tact. She also does so in the most straightforward means possible. She doesn't speak clearly necessarily -- again, eloquence is not her strong suit -- but she gets the information across without flowery language.
Secretive to a near fault, Beau has no problem bending and breaking the truth, but she demands honesty from those around her, those who give information to her. Bea has a terrible habit of asking for too much, demanding more and more, in information and in favors, goods, money, without giving up anything of her own. She wants to be in the know, but doesn't want you to know about her. She feels she has a right to any and all information, an arrogant trait, and will ask without considering how the other person might take it.
While she tries to use caution in how she speaks and what she says, Beau is incredibly reckless when it comes to action. She takes chances that no one else wants her to take and takes action when others would wait. She has a rebellious nature that cannot be tamed, which often encourages her to take the path that those around her tell her not to.
For example, she's constantly being told by her mentor to stay alive, so she feels the need to prove that she can live through anything. She takes it as a slight to her abilities, not an expression of concern. Beau has been hurt before, by her parents, by her trainers, and she always takes the most negative view of what should be a positive interaction. She's suspicious and takes the defensive whenever she feels cornered, questioned, or in doubt.
She's abrasive in her manner in nearly all things, but she does demonstrate a times a softness inside of her that wants to come out. While at first she seemed to dislike spending time with the cheerful and smiling, like Jester, for example, Beau has demonstrated a softer, warmer side that wants to come out. She is growing, which is the most important quality of all when it comes to Beau.
While stuck in her ways in many aspects of her personality, she is also, to an extent, open to change. This is most apparent in her reaction to Mollymauk's death. He once said that he tries to leave every place better than he found it in some way, and Beau has taken this to heart. While she has a negative view of herself at times, she has worked to change that idea of herself and change herself into a force for good. As an expositor of the Cobalt Soul, she's sworn to find and root out corruption, take down the systems that don't work. But more than that, she's learning how to be kind, to herself and to others. It's a long, hard journey, but she's taking it, step by step.
