### Championship game

Beatriz makes one last appearance in **Chapter 11: Stay**.

The Women's South City Wolves lead in the match, with only 2 minutes to go. Although Brazilian captain Calisto Ávila scored the second goal of the game to make it 3-2, the final whistle concluded the championship victory for Beatriz & the Women's South City Wolves.

## Canon

### Jealousy of Ana Sophía

It is assumed Beatriz and Ana Sophía never established a personal friendship outside the South City Wolves team, despite being from the same city and speaking the same native language. Ana Sophía fails to unadmittedly confess that Beatriz always felt jealousy for her, which strained their potential friendship. Although written down in her ***Darlin'*** journal, it was cut out by Ana Sophía. It would also be written and cut out that Ana Sophía was aware Beatriz jumped at the first opportunity to receive a call-up to play against Ana Sophía's Palmeiras side, citing urgency of revenge against her for having always stolen the attention and headlines on social media, as well as attempting to take over her headline status as star player.

### Ana Sophía v Miggy

Despite not mentioned or referenced by Ana Sophía, Beatriz was included in the Porto Alanza roster of 22 players that would face Brazilian club Palmeiras in **Chapter 14: Little Dark Age**. She made the team as a bench player for Miggy. In the final minute of the match, Beatriz came onto the pitch in replacement for Miggy. Beatriz would play the remaining minute and the additional minutes of added time, in which she would successfully complete 2 passes before the final whistle was blown to end the match. Beatriz would remain on the team after the KOVO Champions Qualifiers, alongside Matilda.
