Hobbies:
Poetry - Bebe is a great admirer of poetry, and can often be found with a volume around her person. Her preference is usually for classical verses, usually romantic, or morbid in nature, but she is known to recite a 'humorous' limerick on occasion. Unfortunately, she's usually the only one who laughs, as she often decides that a 'good time' is during the most serious moments possible. She has never written her own, as her other 'art' is far more interesting to her, but takes every spare moment to flip through her dog-eared books, and is ridiculously fond of quoting verses at any moment possible.
Acting - From putting on airs and falling into the role of a 'lady', to dressing up and performing in amateur plays, Bebe finds it easy and comforting to slip behind the mask of someone else, and has spent so long doing this that it has become second nature. She is also a enormous ham, when the mood strikes her.
Fitness - Bebe is one of those people who consider their body a temple, and makes sure to get exercise each day. She's found skipping rope to be the most enjoyable, as it's a quick, low-strain workout, easy to do in any place, and doesn't require a full team behind you. Plus it's clean, and not too undignified sport for a lady. Apart from that, she makes sure to eat well, sleep well, and meditates for a short time every day.
Virtues:
Easygoing - Never getting overly worried or flustered, Bebe can take life in with a cool eye and clear head. She isn't too bothered when people lash out or insult her, and goes along happily with what people want her to do without complaint. She never seems to get angry, or upset, and can be counted on for a relaxed, friendly face in any situation. This is mostly due to her not giving too much thought to what people around her do, as they are usually background to her own thoughts, but makes her amicable and easy to get along with in most crowds.
Outgoing - Bebe doesn't mind being the center of things, in fact if she can get an audience she delights at sharing her imagination with the world at general. She doesn't care what people think of her approaching them, and is always pleased to find a sound board to bounce her voice off of. If you're shy, she'll keep the conversation going for the both of you, and is quick to approach people who she thinks look like they'll be interesting or fun. Treating friend and stranger alike, she can talk as openly with one as the other, and never seems to get tangled in preliminary introductions and awkward silences, and usually has at least a passing knowledge of whatever you might be interested in.
Ladylike - Bebe chafes at the way vulgarity and crudeness has become the social norm in our society. Growing up, she was exposed to classical literature, and draws her role models and actions from the women in them. Wherever she goes, she has a strict code of how to conduct herself according to her ideals on how to be a proper young woman. Never raise your voice, never cuss. Be polite, be refined, be respectable, be demure. Don't be undignified, preserve your modesty. She doesn't force her ideals and views on other girls, as that would be impolite and rude, and indeed sometimes enjoys watching other people making idiots of themselves in ridiculous displays, as it allows her to live a little through them. Overall, she tends to choose friends that emphasize dignity and refinement over crudeness.
Bright - Gifted from birth with a brain that functions better than most people, Bebe is approaching the higher ends of the IQ scale. She learns faster, remembers better, and generally keeps ahead of the average person with little to no effort. Never flaunting the fact, Bebe appreciates and makes use of her intellect, striving to pass her classes with flying colours (allowing her a place at the prestigious crystal academy). Outside of classes, Bebe takes a lively interest in anything that crosses her path, picking it up, looking at it, and remembering a few key interesting facts about it before dropping it and seizing something else. This has allowed her to build a rough knowledge of most common activities and interests that a young woman might run into.
Flaws:
Vicious - Although it's hard to see now in the graceful and poised young woman, when Bebe was a child she was quite vicious. Revelling in fighting with other children, trying to hit squirrels with rocks, and doing impromptu dissection on unfortunate insects, she took pleasure in the pain and suffering she inflicted on others. Now Bebe limits herself to being a spectator, and while she cultivates an air of disinterest in violence and pain, she often forgets to give sympathy to people who have been physically hurt, instead focusing, ghoul-like, on getting them to relive the gory details. Under duress and stress, Bebe's mask sometimes slips and displays the side of herself that she works so hard to hide. When her back is to the wall, or really, when she knows she can get away with it, she has no problem at all with happily hurting people.
Fair-weather Friend - She'll smile, she'll nod, she'll pat your hand, and she won't give a s**t about your problems. Bebe lacks any desire to ever put herself in your shoes, she doesn't care about your heartbreak, and she certainly isn't listening to a word you say about how your parents divorce is tearing you apart. Due to her detachment from people, Bebe finds that she has immense difficulty sympathizing with others, and the effort required to try tires and annoys her. So, she doesn't bother. When life's good and the sun is shining, Bebe will be with you, laughing, grinning, and offering you a stick of mint gum. However, when things start to crumble apart don't expect her to stick around and watch you sigh. If you pull through, she'll be back with more pretty butterflies and funny stories, but she'll disappear again the moment life gets dull for her. There are so many more interesting people around!
Unbalanced - Something is not right in Bebe's head. She sees the world differently from how people should, most often in small and unnoticeable ways. However, if you probe deep enough into her, it's clear to see that things are missing or wrong in her thought process. Clever enough to realize this, Bebe goes to great lengths to cover up and mislead people, keeping them at a distance to avoid unpleasant confrontations and disruptions. One of her largest problems is her lack of empathy towards other humans, and the fact that she has a incredibly difficult time viewing others people as little more than homo-sapiens, animals, amusing dancing creatures to entertain her. Most of her social problems stem from this gap between her and other people, and end up displaying themselves as her reacting to situations differently from how most people would. She also tends to treat others like you would a cat or dog, using carrot-and-stick training to get others to act how she would like them, and talking down to people. The one way Bebe finds she can understand people, and connect with their emotions, is through poetry. To her, the verses seem to make sense in a way that body language and facial expressions never could.
Prideful - While Bebe has no problem at all with being verbally insulted, thought badly of, or ignored by others, as she never really cares what other people think, she takes great pride in her appearance, competence, and abilities. If she believes she was made to look like a fool, there will be hell to pay sooner or later. She also tends to chafe and grumble at grunt work, believing herself far too talented to be messing around with jobs a less-skilled person could take care of. While she has no desire for a position of power, she has difficulty working under other people, and tends to gravitate towards calling the shots, even if she shouldn't be doing so. Additionally, she tends to leap for the spotlight, jumping for opportunities to show off her talents, and woe befalls the person who tries to take her glory, or is standing in the way.
Appearance:
Eyes - Large and brown, usually half-open in a sleepy way. However, utterly obscured by her large and very thick glasses.
Hair - Purple, short and bobbed, with long strands in the front. Naturally curls at the ends, and puffy.
Face - A small round face covered in freckles.
Body - Lightly tanned skin. Short and fragile-looking. Slight amount of freckles all over.

Negaverse Alias: Captain Sugilite
Challenge: "Death pursues the man who flees"
Weapon:
Lieutenant - Toy gyroscope. Pretty damn useless.
Captain - Larger gyroscope that Sugilite can control from a distance, bladed rings.
General - Huge gyroscope with jagged bladed rings. Sugilite can control it from a distance and ride on it.
Why the negaverse? Bebe has always classified other people as 'fun' or 'boring'. Apart from that, she has always felt a bit detached, and rather bored with humanity in general. A feature that has been with her from birth, her cheerful demeanor has always disguised this fact from others. Always preferring to hear her own voice over others, when she becomes corrupted she will completely loose an interest in other people's thoughts and feelings. 'Fun' people will be those who run and fight and give her a run for her money, 'boring' people are those who don't. And when she finds people boring, she has no more use for them. Either way, your starseed is hers!
Sugilite vs Bebe:
Outgoing - Sugilite is very much the cartoon villain, loud and flamboyant, and the kind who explains exactly how their death ray will activate once the timer reaches zero. Talking incessantly during fights, she tends to act more like she's at a social affair than in a battlefield.
Ladylike - As Sugilite, Bebe's self-imposed code of behavior twists into her being genteel and dainty in battle, yet with a mocking, morbid, and sadistic attitude. She has no problem with unladylike physical activities, although if possible she will avoid placing herself in a fistfight, preferring to use dainty kicks or some kind of weapon instead.
Uninterested - Not bothering to hide her disinterest in people's thoughts and feelings as Sugilite, she is cold, contemptuous and dismissive towards the pain and anger she inflicts in others. If your anguish is overwhelming, she might even find it a bit amusing! You should see the look on your face.
Unbalanced - Free from having to deal with societies reactions, Sugilite openly looks down on other people as animals. However if you're one of her targets in battle, there isn't any kindness, carrot, or petting. You're the bad dog, the one who bites and foams, and needs to be put down.

Bebe's Acquaintances:
<3 -
-
Sugilite's Acquaintances:
<3 -
General Painite - The first General I talked to who doesn't appear to be a violent thug. I do believe my meeting with her is the start of something interesting. Certainly her schemes are.
Captain Benitoite - Rather sloppy and hesitant, I'm afraid. I do hope he'll start learning how to give orders rather than take them, but he's useful at the least.
Captain Howlite - Assisted me once, but something about the woman rubs me the wrong way.
-
Kyndall Rosen - What a horribly crude woman, I don't know how on earth she managed to find employment at my school. I should teach her what happens to mere civilians who dare lay hand on an officer of the negaverse.
Sailor Europa - Once their magic is spent, senshi aren't so tough. I gave this one quite a good drubbing after she had the nerve to hit me, and her power signature was quite strong.
Sailor Draconis - Very rude, needs a bit of discipline. With my heel.
Hara Berezaiti - Possibly completely psychotic. Rather dangerous, I should keep myself in her blind spots when I attack. Or knock her unconscious first. Whatever opportunity presents itself.
Sailor Thisbe - Very rude, needs a bit of discipline. With my heel.
Life:
Past -
Since she was three, Bebe has lived at The Sisters of Perpetual Dissapointment Children's Shelter, a "youth home" in a quiet town far away from Destiny City. There she butted heads with the other children in the care of the sisters, until one day at the public library when she uncovered the book Little Women. After reading that book, she became fascinated with women in it, how they behaved, how they talked, how they lived. She slowly began to read more and more books set in the 1800's, and became infatuated with the idea of being 'ladylike'. To her, this was a way of behaving that raised her above the people around her, who she could never really connect with, and to a higher pinnacle of existence. She began to remodel her life around her obsession, to the point where now it is difficult to imagine her being the vicious, almost feral little kid she had been in her childhood.
Present - Arriving in Destiny City to finally take up her position in Crystal Academy, one of the first things that happened to Bebe was a run in with the Negaverse, and her own corruption. While she can't exactly remember what happened on that day, or who it was who corrupted her, she's embraced her job as a Lieutenant with the childish enthusiasm of getting a new toy, and a rather cynically aware knowledge of what will happen if she tries to slack off. Failing to arrive at the school of her dreams, Bebe became detached from and uninterested in her civilian life, realize the Negaverse allowed her to loosen her restraints on the more undesirable parts of her personality.

Poetry Book:
A slim pink leather-bound book sits on Bebe's shelf, in it are neatly written excerpts from her favorite poems.
Blest who can unconcern'dly find
Hours, days, and years slide soft away
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day.
~
Much better stay in company!
To love you must have someone else,
Giving requires a legatee,
Good neighbours need whole parishfuls
Of folk to do it on - in short,
Our virtues are all social; if,
Deprived of solitude, you chafe,
It's clear you're not the virtuous sort.
~
Her even lines her steady temper show ;
Neat as her dress, and polish'd as her brow ;
Strong as her judgment, easy as her air ;
Correct though free, and regular though fair :
And the same graces o'er her pen preside
That form her manners and her footsteps guide.
~
Make no deep scrutiny
Into her mutiny
Rash and undutiful:
Past all dishonour,
Death has left on her
Only the beautiful.
~
Forgotten are the names of visitors
Ready to press my hand but yesterday;
Forgotten are the names of earlier friends
Whose genial converse and glad countenance
Are fresh as ever to mine ear and eye;
~
If strange men come from the house
To lead her away, do not say
That she is happy being crazy;
Lead them gently astray;
Let her finish her dance,
Let her finish her dance.
Ah, dancer, ah, sweet dancer!
~
I know I have been happiest at your side;
But what is done, is done, and all's to be.
And small the good, to linger dolefully-
Gayly it lived, and gallantly it died.
I will not make you songs of hearts denied,
And you, being man, would have no tears of me,
And should I offer you fidelity,
You'd be, I think, a little terrified.
~
How sweet and fitting it is
to die for your native land:
Death pursues the man who flees,
spares not the hamstrings or cowardly backs
Of battle-shy youths.
