Beata (Polish Series)

**Beata Oliwia Wiktoria Biżuriowska Poniatowska I** *(1857-1920)* is the ghost of a aristocratic woman who owned the House Of The Poniatowski Family from 1906-1920 in Dominowojo's Polish version of Ghosts.

## Personality

Beata is a grumpy woman who likes to have things her way. If not, she quite often will become very angry, sometimes activating her power of shattering glass objects. This power gets activated sometimes accidentally, but sometimes on purpose in order to be listened to.

Beata is also very posh and will talk to everyone else with a sort of tone as if she is looking down on them. Her poshness makes her a lady of tradition as well, as she is very strict to her beliefs. Albeit very stern, Beata is respected to an extent by the other ghosts for her status during her life and the importance of her knowledge of the House Of The Poniatowski Family, and she does respect the others too because she would like to stay polite. Even with this, the ghosts do see her as an somewhat of an annoying sister. Beata is proud to be a Poniatowski and treats this surname like an honour. Beata overtime grows to be proud of Teresa, and their bond gets stronger as they spend more time together, as then they get to understand each other more.

## Appearance

Beata wears a long light grey dress with gold accents, like Fanny's dress from the UK series. She wears a lovely white orb necklace and has a belt/corset around her waist. Her skirt is a more darker grey than the rest of her dress and her heels are high and black but aren't usually seen due to her skirt length.

Beata has earrings which match her orb necklace and she wears purple lipstick. Her makeup makes her look pale. In terms of physical facial features, her face has a few wrinkles, especially under her eyes because of her depression of losing her fiancé when she was alive. She has a black bob cut as a hairstyle.

Before the death of her fiancé, Beata's clothes were more vibrant and happy looking, matching to how she felt with her partner. She was always seen wearing long fancy dresses in life.

## Life

Beata was raised like every other girl from a rich family, inheriting her family's views on the way, such as being proud to carry the Poniatowski surname. Beata was very loyal to her roots and was prepared to get married off and take over the House Of The Poniatowski Family after her parents.

In her childhood, out of all her relatives, she had the strongest bond with her cousin Zdzichu who were practically more like siblings than cousins. Overtime though, as they grew up they saw each other less often, Zdzichu going off to explore many foreign countries playing a big part of why they started to separate.

She met an aristocratic man her age in her early 30s, as Beata's family struggled to find her a partner when she was younger. Originally Beata's parents ordered for them to get married by an arranged marriage, but Beata took an honest liking to the man and realised she was actually in love with him, so the wedding didn't have to be forced. The man loved Beata too and they got engaged. Unfortunately a month after this Beata's fiancé died of an illness and she became a widow. She was depressed because of this and stayed that way until her death.

After the fiancé's death Beata had not much social interaction, apart from her most loyal maid. Little did she know the maid and the rest of the House Of The Poniatowski Family's staff were in on a scheme. You see, while Beata's fiancé was still alive and live in the house with Beata, everyone took him seriously and always listened to his every word - even though he technically wasn't the one who owned the house, Beata did. Back then the staff didn't see Beata as that much of a powerful person, so when her fiancé died they had more freedom to do whatever they want. The house's staff hand an evil plan, ran by the "loyal" maid; they were to poison Beata and steal her home's treasures to gain money, which they did not earn enough of.

And so, by the chefs' secret recipe of poison with the help of the maid who tricked Beata into trusting her, Beata one day fell for her meal and died in agony. When she was offered dead and now a ghost, the once loyal staff robbed all of her belongings and booked it.

## Death

The first thing for Beata to do as a ghost was to go into an angry fit because of her maid's betrayal, activating her ghost power for the first time (shattering glass when angered) which spooked some of the living staff while they were stealing Beata's possessions.

Beata's cousin Zdzichu canceled his holiday to Mexico to mourn the death of her dear cousin's death and meanwhile seeing what had happened to Beata's house which he now inherited from her after her death. Zdzichu was now the new owner of the House Of The Poniatowski Family.

## Relationships

### Zdzichu

Beata has a special bond with Zdzichu because he is her cousin. Beata does see him as a person who acts juvenile but she has grown to appreciate him more than the other ghosts. They bicker less together but when they do it's just basically like siblings teasing each other.

## Notes

* Beata is Dominowojo's version of Fanny.
* Her original surname, Biżuriowska, comes from the Polish word "Biżuteria", meaning Jewelry.
* Her fiancé died before their wedding, causing her to become depressed until her death which made the people behind Beata's death have an easier job of killing her due to this weak point.
