Benedict Baudelaire

== Appearance ==
== Personality ==
"It's a killing game, not a gamble. Also, you're kind of avoiding my statement. You could be that 'someone else' that dies at any moment. You can cheat in Poker if you wanted to, but you can't cheat death, remember that."Benedict's a very introverted and socially awkward person with very low self-esteem and confidence, constantly apologizing for the smallest of things. Because of this, some people find him pretty hard to talk to, but he means no harm. Despite being physically strong, he doesn't seem to ever use his strength unless he needs to. He's also a huge overthinker, overanalysing and taking everything too literally. An example of this is when Dante makes jokes about hanging himself in the first trial. Usually, Benedict keeps to himself or to limited people and withdraws himself quite regularly. He admits that he spends most of his freetime in his room making music on his own as he finds that more comforting.
He can also be too honest and open about what's on his mind, an example of this is when he calls Jinsei's personality a 'villain persona' in front of him, which leads Jinsei to grab him by the collar. He also has a limited amount of patience, however he's good at hiding it.
Due to his honesty about what he thinks and saying too much information, he ends up saying and doing things he regrets doing later on, which he tries to stop himself from doing by bottling up his emotions, to little to no success. Since bottling up his emotions have shown to only make things worse for him.

====Prologue====
He woke up, at the void just like everyone else. Being in confusion, just like everyone else, he tries to get information and find out where he is, it's quick to realize he took quite a while for him to speak up.
In the garden, he observes in confusion whilst the kids try to get information out of Dante through tying him down and trying to find out where he came from. He didn't say anything throughout. He was, however, the first to react when Eden told everyone they were trapped being in a killing game, being in complete horror and shock. Something about her seems familiar to him, it takes him quite some time to ask her about it. When Eden admitted that all of her clothes were originally worn by dead people and that SHE now wears them so they can be "remembered", he was in absolute horror, thinking his brother was dead. As of now, it is unknown what part of her outfit specifically Benedict recognized about Eden that made him think of his brother, however.
====Chapter 1====
As he's grieving, he meets Kali, having a short conversation about strength and talents. When Kali left upon finding out he was somewhat strong, he felt guilt and felt like it was his fault.
Benedict starts to talk to more people and he started falling exhausted, Ryu responded by carrying Benedict and rocking him until he was asleep, something that he wasn't used to. Despite this, Benedict fell asleep rather quickly.
He talked about music with Asa and Sia and sang with them in the canteen, talking about their music tastes and just music in general, which made Benedict feel a little better about the whole killing game situation.
When the monster motive came, Benedict claimed that he ran into one of the monsters and came into the staff room late due to trying to fight it off, to which he failed. However, he still came out safely.
When witnessing Kits and Jinsei arguing, he prompty broke off the fight and asked them to stop, standing between the two. Jinsei wasn't really happy with this and threatened that if he did it again, he'd be 'singing with the ghosts'. He apologies, but when Jinsei says he'd be better off dead if he hates fights, he was quick to make comments, calling his personality a 'villain persona'. Jinsei's quick to grab him by the collar and be (understandably) furious by what he said, saying how it's not a persona and that he isn't hiding anything. Benedict apologies for this and didn't realize what he was truly saying. Jinsei lets go of him, but both Jinsei and Kits quickly notice that he's extremely upset and about to cry. They both encourage him to let it all out, to which he does. He promises Jinsei that he'll try his best to not keep these emotions bottled up inside.
Kits and Benedict run into each other in the canteen. Benedict expresses how he felt a lot better after the conversation with both him and Jinsei, to Kit's delight. Benedict talks about how he 'grew up too slow' and how he depended on his wealth, talent and looks for everything, also states how people vent to him loads and he feels forced to help them. Kits tells him how he should look after himself more. He snaps him out of Benedict overthinking it, saying how everything will be fine. Kits talks about how he was inspired to be a magician, to Benedict's interest. When Kits admits that his teacher was his father, Benedict seems to think about his own father, before snapping out of that thinking and talking about how he wanted to be a musician. Kits says how he'd love to listen to his music some time, which makes Benedict really delighted. Benedict apologies, feeling like his ranting bothered Kits. Kits says how he barely had any friends, to which Benedict opens up about how he lost all of his friends when he was 15 years old. After that, he says how he is exhausted and Kits offers for him to rest. Benedict puts on some calming music, before falling asleep on Kits' lap. Kits then takes Benedict to his dorm.
===== Chapter 1: Body Discovery =====
Kits woke him up in his room later on, giving Benedict a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for breakfast. They casually talk as they eat their breakfast, until they hear Keina's scream. They rush to see what happened, to find Elias' corpse. Benedict assigned himself to guard Elias so nobody tampers with the evidence, reluctantly agreeing for Jinsei to do the autopsy, since he knows what he's doing. He expresses discomfort, however, to the organs and when Hyun asked to touch an organ, Benedict describes touching an organ as gross and the fact that stains get on your hands, which implies he has touched an organ before. He respectfully turns away when Hyun is taking off his eyepatch and before leaving to go into the trial room, he says goodbye to Elias' corpse.
=====Chapter 1: Trial=====
He got a little lost at first but eventually was one of the first to find the trial room. He asks why the killer would want to trick everyone else into thinking Elias tripped on the wire. When Hina assumes that the killer did it as an alternative, thinking the killer could lack strength and height, to which Benedict says that they can't assume stuff about the killer's appearance just yet, forgiving Hina when she apologies; saying how they should consider every possibility. He also expresses confusion at Dante's jokes throughout the trial. Taking them too seriously and expressing concern for him.
When figured out Mira was the one who 'tripped' on the wire and got knocked out, he tried to avoid laughing, to his success. He gets Jinsei to speak up about the second poison (Curare) in exchange that he'd cook sweet things for him everyday until they get out of the killing game.
He points out how Kali's talent is the Ultimate Chemist and along with other pieces of evidence, it's proven that Kali is the blackened of the case and she is executed. Mira exposed herself to be the accomplice of the case, saying how entertaining it was. Due to this and how lightly everyone took it, Benedict got mad. A few people, such as Sia noticed this. Sia tells him to let his anger out, to which he does. He tells Mira that she should've been the one executed, before punching her in the face repeatedly. Jinsei gets in front of Mira, telling everyone to stop, which snaps him out of his blind rage. When he noticed what he's done, he runs out of the trial room with tears in his eyes.
====Chapter 2====
After leaving the trial room out of guilt for punching Mira and getting angry in front of everyone, he runs to his room and cries in his pillow, Sia knocks on the door, to apologize for not helping Benedict when he was letting his anger out, Benedict asks why she still tolerates him knowing what he's done, telling her that Mira wasn't the only one he hurt that way. Sia says she isn't one to hold in her anger, and she tells Benedict a secret. That secret is currently unknown as of now. He apologies and cries out, saying he was the one that should've been beaten up and not Mira. Sia blames herself for not being able to calm Benedict down during that time, Benedict expresses his guilt for this, saying how he should be the one dead instead of Elias and Kali and that isolating himself or dying would be better for him due to his 'abusive and manipulative nature'. Benedict also says there's nothing that Sia could've been done. Sia decides to calm both of them down by singing Snowman, Benedict cheerfully joining in before falling asleep.
He wakes up to cook chocolate cupcakes for Jinsei. When he's finished, he puts them in his dorm and writes a letter telling him to enjoy it.
He meets up with Mira, Kazuha and Kits at the waiting room. He apologizes for his anger and says how Sia was a natural for calming him down, saying how he considers Sia a close friend. When Mira is talking about how she might help with the next murder, Kits says how he won't stop her but if she plans to hurt any of his friends then he will interfere. Benedict holds back his anger, asking for both sides to calm down, Kits states how he doesn't plan to murder anyone and when Mira says how fun it is, Benedict says that Mira's also a participant and could be the next victim herself if someone wanted to take her life. Mira warns everyone else in the room that they should be careful of who they trust and also makes a comment about how Sia can get 'very violent when angered' and says how they don't want her killing on accident, before leaving.
Benedict holds Kits' hand to stop himself from hurting Mira on the way out. Benedict says how Mira's basically being asked to be punched at this point, apologizing shortly after saying that. Kits understands and gives him advice to punch a pillow instead. Benedict admits that he's scared of being judged if he does it in front of everyone, saying how he's not supposed to be 'weak'.
Ryu walks into the room, Benedict apologizes to him for getting angry and says that if he does it again, Ryu has every right to be angry at him back. Okemia walks in, saying how revolting they are because they're adults. When Benedict asks why they hate them, Okemia points out how he mistreated his brother in the past, which makes Benedict pause and he tries to say that he changed but Okemia says how he made his own brother despise him. Benedict keeps his mouth shut, knowing that Okemia is right.
After a long conversation of Eden hating alcohol and smoking (despite Eden smoking herself), Benedict is carried to the canteen by Kits for Ryu's food. He eats the lasagna Ryu cooked, seemingly enjoying it.
After he cooks a chocolate cake in the kitchen, he bumps into Kits, both of them happily greeting each other. Benedict explains that he's in the mood to cook something else, Kits suggesting chocolate chip cookies. They cook together, Kits talking about how his adoptive mother is better than his biological mother. Benedict explains how unstable of a figure his own was and how he was favourited over his own young brother because he could do acting better than him. He then goes on to explain how his brother adopted a few of his old mannerisms and started creating a superiority complex for himself. Whilst they wait for the cookies to be completed in the oven, they listen to some music. When they're ready, Kits takes them out and puts them in the fridge to cool down. After they're cooled down, Benedict takes them out of the fridge and puts them on the cafeteria, putting a letter next to them saying how he and Kits cooked them for anyone who's hungry.
Kits asks Benedict if he has a crush on anyone, to which he responds to having a crush on Sia, making Kits promise to not tell anyone. Kits admits that he liked someone called Himari and that they've known each other for years. Benedict asked how they're both doing now and Kits says they're fine. Benedict admits he was going to marry someone but it was clear she didn't like him back, talking about how arranged marriages were normal in his family, and how they didn't care how he felt, admitting to how his music blowing up helped him get the money to run away, He says how he hates everything is changing around him and Kits says how he was in poverty, saying how poverty and wealth are two sides of the same coin. Benedict asks why he couldn't be recognized as his parents' son and Kits notices he was about to cry, telling him to let it all out and not keep it inside. Benedict cries, letting it all out until being extremely tired afterwards. Kits helps him fall asleep and takes him to his dorm once more.
When the chapter 2 motive comes into play and they wake up in the Temple, he's worried as he didn't cook the daily sweet thing for Jinsei like he promised, due to the fact there's no kitchen. Kits brought spare cookies along with him. He offers it to Jinsei, to which he turns down for Benedict to eat for himself. He does so and with Kits, Sia and Asa, he walks into the library to investigate, which results in them running into Pandora, Gijin, Hina and Brooklyn. For the most part, Benedict was reading a book in the library whilst everyone else was chatting. Kazuha walks in and Benedict notices, they introduce themselves again since they did meet at one point and Benedict talks about his theory of why the kids are doing what they're doing, constantly apologizing for ranting. He then talks about how he needs breaks every few songs during a live performance due to getting sensory overloads on stage. He talks about how he feels bad for letting his fans down and how he sees himself as a bad person, Kazuha reassures him that he probably is a great person, which cheers him up.
Benedict finds Snowball lost, so he picks him up, which triggers a trap. He successfully dodges it and takes Snowball to look for Kits, he finds him in Asa's dorm. He explains to Kits that Snowball was lost and almost got hurt, which Kits was worried but relieved that Snowball and him were safe. As they're talking about animals, Benedict says that he's scared of hurting animals due to the fact he hurt them when he was younger but doesn't anymore. Kits is surprised but glad he doesn't do it anymore. Asa wakes up and asks what they're talking about, but Benedict doesn't want to open up to her about it. They get in a group hug.
===== Chapter 2: Body Discovery =====
In Benedict's room, a bucket of water got dumped on him upon walking in. He's trying to set up listening to his music but his headphones are gone, he looks everywhere for them and still can't find them, he looks in the maze, where he runs into Gijin, who offers to help. Whilst looking, they find Eden, who confesses to stealing them because Okemia ordered her to 'make Benedict suffer', acknowledging his hatred for a change in his daily routine. Because Okemia thinking about Benedict upset her, Eden decided to take matters into her own hands. She grabs Benedict tightly by the wrist, which causes a bruise and tries to cut his arm with her razor, but Kits interfered and grabbed Benedict away from Eden. Eden then decides to try and break Benedict down mentally, mentioning the abusive person he was towards Kirikuma and saying how he shouldn't be forgiven. When Kits and Gijin object, she insists that they shouldn't trust him, before leaving. Afterwards, Kits and Gijin comfort Benedict and assure him that he isn't the same as he was over 10 years ago.
Shortly after, they discovered Finn's corpse, which affected everyone since they didn't expect for someone to kill a kid, let alone Finn.
==== Chapter 3 ====
Benedict and a couple others pay their respects to Finn's corpse, Jinsei points out what he said a while ago to him to stop letting people get the best of him, he opens up about how his music helped him cope with hallucinations, Kits snuck out headphones from Asa's room and gave them to Benedict, which Benedict expresses delight over, thanking him. When Okemia and Eden let everyone know that Brooklyn murdered kids and when Dante wanted to deal with Brooklyn himself, Benedict was silent and upon leaving the room, gave her the middle finger.
Upon getting really low stats, he starts to get upset. Kits reassures him that it's not bad. Benedict and Mira run into Dante, who's trapped in some living branches and his neck tied with a noose from trying to commit suicide. Benedict panics, trying to tell him that he shouldn't kill himself whilst Mira cuts the branches and unties the noose. Dante gives Benedict Pete's gun, which he lost previously and tells Benedict to give it back to him. After Mira gets him out of the branches and noose, Benedict sets off in the village to look for his friend.
Pete, grieving over loosing his closest friend, tackles him, thinking he intentionally stole the gun and was trying to kill another one of the kids. Benedict tries to explain to Pete the situation, but Pete thinks he's lying. This results in Pete twisting three of his fingers. After a while, Dante walks in and quickly stops Pete from injuring Benedict any further. Eden walks in, instantly thinking that Benedict was trying to hurt the kids like Pete assumed but Dante calmed her down and confirmed what Benedict said to be true.
