As the only child of a fortunate single parent, Bea has lived a mostly pampered life so far. Rodrigo da Fontaine doted on his daughter and hardly refused her anything.

During her many stays in Ipanema and Copacabana, she got used to being ogled on the beach, but anything further and she would physically pick up the offending Lothario and toss him as far as she could into the sea.

Bea has no real interest in social media, preferring to be outdoors than stuck in front of a computer.

Apart from those news reports and one or two favorite shows (Universo Steven being one of them), she watched very little TV while she was at the ranch.

* She can become "imperceptible" by psionically manipulating the perceptions of those around her - people are unable to see her, hear her, or otherwise notice her unless she interacts with them. Technically, she does not become invisible and could still be recorded by any surveillance devices. The range of this power has not been determined yet. It is not always on, but it is as much instinctive as reactive; it will be triggered when frightened, embarrassed, sad, etc.

Bea cannot control other people's minds that way, but one of Bea's irrational fears is that her popularity is mostly due to her powers "pushing" people to like her.

One serious drawback is that using her powers for any prolonged time depletes her blood sugar levels, leaving her suffering from effects resembling [https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hypoglycemia/symptoms-causes/syc-20373685 hypoglycemia]. Therefore, she needs to keep a supply of glucagon or glucose tablets on herself for emergencies (fruit juices might work in a pinch).

History

Early years

Beatriz Anna Valentina Allegra da Fontaine (Bea for short) was born in São Paulo (Brazil), the daughter of Rodrigo Maldonado da Fontaine and Maria Isabel da Silva. Her mother died in a car accident when Bea was four years old, and her father - a successful cattle rancher - raised Bea alone on the family's farm.

As the only child of a fortunate single parent, Bea lived a mostly pampered life, dividing her time between school, her duties on the ranch, and trips to the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, until her mutant powers surfaced at age 13.

After a period of adaptation and counseling, she grew accustomed to her new abilities. After that, however, she used them sparingly, mostly her enhanced strength and durability to deal with beach bullies or her "imperceptibility" power to avoid confrontations.

Personality

Bea is usually easygoing and friendly, relying on her "imperceptibility" power to avoid confrontation, but she can be stubborn and passionate about specific subjects.

As the only child of a fortunate single parent, Bea has lived a mostly pampered life so far. Rodrigo da Fontaine doted on his daughter and hardly refused her anything. Despite this, Bea did not grow up a spoiled brat; she has shown kindness to those less fortunate or more socially awkward than her and has an intense dislike of sadists, bullies, and braggarts. She got used to being ogled on the beach during her many stays in Ipanema and Copacabana. Anything further, she would physically pick up the offending Lothario and toss him as far as she could into the sea. After a few times, word got around to "avoid the crazy redhead chick," but someone would always try his luck and say something rude, and then she would have to teach him "politeness."...

Bea has no genuine interest in social media, preferring to be outdoors rather than stuck in front of a computer. She learned about the best-known American heroes, like Senhora Liberdade (Ms. Liberty), Aço Azul (Blue Steel), Flecha Vermelha (Manticore), Senhora Valquíria (Valkyrie), Citadela (Citadel), or Luminância (Luminary), from watching news reports on Brazilian TV.
