==History==
===Background===
Beroba was born sometime in the distant future and became an audience member of the Desire Grand Prix, however she switched to supporting the Jyamato at some point and acquired a Laser Raise Riser, which allowed her to keep her youthful appearance despite actually being three-hundred and fifty years old.
===Divergence Arc===
After Michinaga's elimination and his slow mutation into a Jyamato, Beroba felt it was the perfect time to make herself known to her potential beneficiary. She offered to begin supporting Michinaga in exchange for his partnership in helping her taking down the Desire Grand Prix, who are in possession of a "Goddess of Genesis" which could turn the tides in their war.
During the Timebomb Game, Beroba visited Ziin in his waiting room, the latter pulling out his gun and asking Beroba to leave as only Rider supporters were allowed in there. However, she shrewdly revealed her newfound support for Buffa, with the latter's re-entry being approved by both Niramu and Chirami. 
Through Chirami, she obtained the Nadge-Sparrow Rider Core ID and recruited Daichi Isuzu into her pool of beneficiaries. She revealed the true nature of the Jyamato to Daichi and Michinaga, both who became "thrilled" to join her. With Daichi's plan to seize the Goddess, they refrain from sending out a Jyamato, forcing an impatient Chirami to physically participate as as Glare2. However this was a trap for Beroba to steal his Vision Driver, which act as an access key to the temple holding the Goddess of Genesis. Their plan is temporarily impeded by Ziin, who transformed into a Rider to stop Beroba. Beroba is able to escape on her own and enter the temple to the Goddess of Genesis. Attempting to have her wish granted, she is interrupted by Niramu, who reveals that the goddess cannot grant a wish without the physical authorization of both the Game Master and the producer. 
Beroba later returned to the Garden and revealed the origins of her and the rest of the DPG management to Michinaga and Daichi, both who continue to support her after even after hearing her secrets. Beroba later enters the battlefield as Ziin watches Geats and Buffa's fight, with Ace overhearing the DGP supporters hailing from the far future. With their secrets now out in the open, Beroba transformed into a giant mecha-based Kamen Rider and obliterates the area, though everyone had escaped and survived the blast radius. 
===Lamentation Arc===
With the Desire Grand Prix on hold, a special episode was aired to the audience to catch all the viewers up on what has transpired since. However, Beroba took this opportunity to hijack the Grand Prix and reformat it to her liking. Becoming the new management, she kickstarted the Jyamato Grand Prix and had her beneficiaries become the "protagonists" to the Riders who were still allied with the DGP, namely Geats, Tycoon, Na-Go, and Ziin. 
===Yearning Arc===
When the Grand End arrived, instead of her and Kekera returning to their era, they decided to stay and made that their wish with the Vision Driver.
===Genesis Arc===
After Suel left, Samas and Zitt appeared before Beroba and Kekera, who offered her a Black Raise Riser Card. Later, she transformed into her premium form and faced Buffa, who would be defeated. After that, she along with Kekera and Keiwa would join the Gang Riders and kidnap Neon. After Kousei rescues Neon, however, she leaves and goes to the hospital to kill Neon’s family, until Neon stopped her and turned into Na-Go Fantasy Form and managed to defeat Premium Beroba. After this, Beroba then left and recruits Kanato Sumida to be a Kamen Rider again to continue to make Neon suffer.
When Ace became trapped at the Desire Temple, Beroba wanted to use the Tree of Knowledge to transform the people who were in the tree into Jyamato. Daichi arrived and tried to prevent this, but he was defeated. Before he gets killed, Buffa and Na-Go arrive to assist him, and they flee. Later, Michinaga challenged Beroba to fight. She used her Kamen Rider form to fight against Buffa and defeated him easily. When she prepared to kill him, Buffa activated his Jyamashin power and killed Beroba. When she said that they will die in the same tomb, Michinaga told her to do her evil things alone and she vanished with a smile of satisfaction.
===Return===
It was revealed she had returned to the future. She witnessed the God Jyamato wreaking havoc in the digital world alongside Niramu. Niramu suffered a mortal wound trying to shield the both of them, but before his death, Niramu entrusted his Vision Driver to Beroba, hoping to change humanity's fate. She appeared in the DGP lobby much to everyone's surprise to deliver Niramu's post-mortem video message explaining the origins of the Future People, the Desire Grand Prix and the Jyamato, revealing that humanity is doomed in the future and hoping the humans from the past would ensure humanity's survival.
She later followed Michinaga to taunt him in regards to his inner Jyamato causing him pain. When asked what she truly wanted, she merely told him that she wished for the both of them to die together. As Michinaga rebuffed her and walked off, it was revealed that her time was running short due to a wound she had received from the God Jyamato.
She appeared once again to taunt Michinaga during his fight with Dooms Geats. Under the pretense of help, she got behind him before literally stabbing him in the back with a Jyamato branch in an attempted effort to reawaken his long-lost Jyamashin powers by transforming him into a mindless beast. Much to her shock, Michinaga instead received a new power, Plosion Rage, that he used to resume his fight with Dooms Geats. Disgusted at his new form, Beroba watched him charge into battle, then laments that he had avoided her puppet strings to the end before succumbing to her wound and disappearing.
Considering Ace's statement to his present self that the future is safe now with the God Jyamato never born, it can be assumed that Beroba and every victim of the God Jyamato were resurrected.
==Personality==
Thoroughly evil and sadistic, Beroba is a wicked woman who exerts a manipulative nature to get what she wants. She has a deep distrust for the Desire Grand Prix and sadistically delights from seeing the tournament and other people's lives destroyed. Unlike the other supporters, she has a domineering attitude that makes her much despised by them and the Desire Grand Prix staff. Beroba additionally takes pleasure in mocking others in their darkest moments, as shown when she exposes Neon Kurama's past in front of the entirety of the Desire Grand Prix and mocks her, much to Ace's anger. Ironically, despite wanting to cause misery to others, Beroba never once actually experienced it herself. As pointed out by Michinaga, Beroba became hysterical and refused to accept the fact that she received a taste of her own medicine.
Beroba seems to have a fondness for jellybeans, eating them as a habitual quirk. She also somewhat takes pride in her youthful appearances, even proclaiming herself as a "defenseless maiden". Ziin and Michinaga comment about her actual age irritated her greatly. Despite her old age, Beroba also acts very childish, either laughing whenever something goes her way, or sticking her tongue out and doing akanbe gesture whenever something is not to her liking.
Furthermore, Beroba shows an amusement of having her victims turning into mindless Jyamato puppets, like what she did to Michinaga using a Jyamato branch. While it results a failure in her plan, Beroba is also hateful towards them after acquiring their new powers and forms via a wish to Ace (i.e., the Plosion Rage Raise Buckle).

Her resolve is shown after Keiwa has revived all DGP victims, including the criminals. She attempts to cause Neon great pain by having Akira's kidnapper return as a Rider and convince her that nobody truly cares about her. She was proven wrong when Neon's dad became a Rider and fought against him and her together, managing to save his daughter. Neon begins to feel genuine love for the first time and confronts Beroba, managing to get her powers back and use the Fantasy Buckle's power to defeat her with ease.

After Azuma gets his wish, Beroba soon becomes uninterested in him now that he is no longer an "underdog". Beroba stays behind in Ace's world so she can witness Azuma's despair and suffering. She gained what she wants from Azuma after he had killed Sara, unintentionally. However, Beroba is not satisfied with just that, as she saw Azuma's heroism as something that doesn’t fit him. Thus, Beroba makes it her mission to bring the ultimate misery for Azuma, which is to kill him before he could even accomplish anything, although this ultimately failed as he managed to finish her off by utilizing the remnants of his Jyamashin power. Before Beroba disintegrated to nothingness, Beroba expressed that she wanted to join Azuma in the same grave, only to be mocked by the latter by exclaiming that her own misery is for herself to experience.
