Miss Beatrice begins as Carl's self-absorbed ex-girlfriend and the show-cat-obsessed owner of Princess Donut, last seen jetting off to the Bahamas just before the world collapsed into the dungeon. What looks like a fond echo of a lost life takes a dark turn when she resurfaces in the crawl, shattered, drugged and wasting away, paraded in a glittering red gown that shows off a crude Princess Chonkalot tattoo. In later books she fades back into memory and anecdote, a figure Donut invokes with a mix of nostalgia, resentment and distrust, and the series uses her as a lasting example of the dungeon's cruelty and of Donut's complicated past.

Description

In her mid-20s, she carries the vibrant poise of a cat show devotee, dressed in breezy vacation wear suited for Bahamian shores. Her face lights up with infectious enthusiasm, framed by hair tied back for practicality. She moves with a lively, ambitious grace that hints at untapped spotlight dreams. Human female, mentally unstable, scratched face Beatrice is a thin, underweight woman with shockingly pale white skin dusted in freckles, her long straight hair falling limply around a gaunt face that appears aged into her early thirties despite her late twenties. Pouty lips accentuate her shell-shocked, hollow expression, often slack-jawed with a terrified deer-in-headlights stare. A poorly-drawn tattoo of Princess Chonkalot adorns her lower back, visible above the open back of her glittering red gown that clings to her wasted frame, paired with ridiculously tall high-heel shoes that force an awkward, penguin-like gait. An Aries anklet dangles from one ankle, her overall presence one of fragile disorientation and quiet desperation. Miss Beatrice is identified as a human woman and former owner of Donut, but the text provides no further physical description. Her age, build, complexion, hair, eyes, facial features, clothing, and distinguishing marks are unspecified. The text supplies no concrete description of Miss Beatrice’s face, build, height, skin tone, hair, eyes, or clothing. It does mention tattoos that others call “monstrosities,” without describing their imagery or placement, and notes that she owned a Shake Weight. Beyond those sparse clues, her appearance should remain open rather than filled in with conjecture.

Carlex-girlfriend
Carl's ex-girlfriend, whose dishonesty about her Bahamas trip ended their relationship and left him caring for Donut. Her later reappearance as a broken captive turns what had been bitterness into tragedy, though traces of her old intrusions, such as her access to his bank account, still come up.
Princess Donutowner
Donut's original owner and cat-show partner, called 'Miss Beatrice' by the cat. Donut's memories run from tender moments to the betrayal of learning Beatrice considered selling her. By the later books, Donut remembers her as a caretaker she expected to be unfaithful, though she still draws on Beatrice's example and advice.
