"*Ooooh* yeah *he was. My roommate kept calling him a plain ol' square, but plain's a wishful statement when, well... you find that* dynamite *in Edwin!*"
—Beasley on Edwin to Winter

Winter is introduced to Beasley and his wife, Remi, by her mother. It is noted that the Preslies are married, but don't have a child, and have gone to Harmony Hollow for over twenty years. They talk with Winter; in one such conversation, Remi mentions a rumor that the stained glass in the synagogue came from the Netherlands. Beasley adds that it'd have to be from someone rich, and Winter agrees. She mentions that she told them many things, but omitted details about her father and his strict view on religion. Beasley tells her that he attended Washington University at the same time as Edwin, shocking her, and he mentions that he was a social outcast and a "square" who studied on religious and social studies. She grows closer to the Preslies and views them as friends. Later, on a banquet night, Winter approaches the Preslies on what to do with her hairstyle. Remi greets her, asking how her evening is. She admits that it's great, needing time away from her parents, and Beasley surmises that Edwin has annoyed her again. Winter nods, confessing that he doesn't want her to cut her hair short because she would be an improper Jewish lady, questioning if it's wrong.

Both Preslies disagree with Edwin's belief, and Remi reassures her that it's okay to have short hair - while some have digressions, she is free to express herself as she wishes. Now knowing her father is wrong, Winter rejoices, then admits that she wants to tell them something else. Beasley prompts her, and she reveals that she is an LGBT+ ally, mentioning her love of a transgender artist. Remi inquires if she's referring to Varien, much to her surprise, and she remarks that she's breathtaking. She and Beasley support her transition, finding it great that kids look up to her. Winter states that she does as well, exciting Beasley, who urges her to ignore her father and clarifies that Jews can be conservative, with Remi chiming that they are accepting as well. Winter thanks them, and Remi responds with an anytime.

#### *Dawn Will Bring Us Death*

"*Me and Remi just want you to know that you aren't going to suffer through this alone." [...] "We'll provide support in any possible way we can.*"
—Beasley pledging support to Edwin and Winter

At Lorelei's funeral, Remi and Beasley greet Edwin and Winter, with Remi apologizing, murmuring that Lorelei was beautiful. Beasley promises that they won't suffer through this by themselves, offering their support, and Edwin thanks him. Remi then grabs a basket of gifts off a nearby table, handing it to Winter, and she says that she can't imagine what she's feeling over losing her mother right now - no child deserves this. Wiping her eyes, Winter thanks her for the gift basket, and she and Beasley hug her. Soon, the Preslies give their eulogy on Lorelei, sharing how close they were to her. Later, Winter remembers the Preslies and Abigail, and Edwin tries to remind Winter that she has friends at synagogue, such as the Preslies, when she insists on not attending anymore.

#### *Snowblind*

Winter remembers her experience with Remi and Beasley at synagogue.

## Personality and Traits

Like Remi, Beasley is friendly, social, outgoing, and kindhearted. He is shown to be very carefree and much of a joker, exaggerating his words and coming off with a teasing tone. He is very mellow and generally close to his family friends, notably Winter.
