Beatrice

"We must do something, Melanie. Richard and the children are innocent, why do they join her in shackles?"

- Beatrice to Melanie

Introduction
Beatrice is a Witch of Old Salem and serves as a secondary antagonist throughout A Sacrifice for Salem. She is a Water Mage.

Pre-ASFS
Beatrice was a part of Cassandra's coven at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. When Cassandra and Melanie were executed, she fled Salem.

Hundreds of years later, Cassandra's spirit was able to talk to Beatrice and convince her to help her resurrect the other Witches of Old Salem. Fueled by revenge, she agreed.

ASFS
Beatrice is first seen scolding Cassandra in a flashback viewed by Mary and The Wand of Water. She accuses her of being "cruel" when she breaks the legs of the sacrificial lamb.

Unknown to Mary at the time, Beatrice is the one who sent the wave to the Rainbow Bridge and was hunting her under the water. When the Salem Four eventually reach their destination, Beatrice is there to help Cassandra and fights against the group as the Witches of Old Salem begin to return. She is then injured by Mary and forced to retreat.

Cassandra
It is implied that Cassandra and Beatrice's relationship was a strained one before the Trials. This did not, however, prevent Beatrice from staying loyal to her 'sister' and—upon Cassandra's imminent return—she began to once more serve her.
