— Honorific Name of **Bernadette Gustav**
## Appearance

**Bernadette** is described as having a weird taste for clothing. Her dressing style seems like a twisted version of fashion on earth. Klein has guessed that this came from her father, who probably dressed his daughter in some earth-style clothes.

The lady had chestnut hair that fell to her waist, and she had a perfectly proportioned figure. She was neither fat nor thin.
She wore a lace dress which had the vibes of a young girl, but she wore a black, out-of-fashion bonnet, and a fishnet veil hung down, concealing her face.

## Relationship

### Roselle Gustav

I once hated him and couldn’t understand him. That’s why I didn’t call him father for many years. It’s because he did too many things against the trend of the times and hurt the innocent. I couldn’t accept my heroic father turning into a crazy tyrant…

 — Bernadette to Gehrman
on *Lord of Mysteries*, Chapter 1092

Roselle doted on her a lot when she was younger, creating a special item able to silence mutterings from the Hidden Sage that would cause insanity. Bernadette is one of the main reasons why Roselle finally felt a true connection to his life in this world as he always felt like everything was a game deep down before until the birth of his daughter. He also made her a charm with Chinese characters meaning "home (故乡)", letting her inherit his last connection with the earth.

She was prophesized to abandon her father by Zaratul, but it was not clearly written in the book when or whether she left Roselle.

However, Bernadette never truly hated her father and has been tracing his history and searching for answers to his madness in his last days. She believes that Roselle is not truly dead, and still hope for his return. Through Cattleya, she is providing Roselle's diary pages in exchange for answers about her father.

After giving the Magic Wishing Lamp to Cattleya, she went on to find the mysterious island that Roselle discovered. On the island, she found her father inside his mausoleum. She is first mistaken as an intruder,(which she was) but upon her father’s recognition of her, she is able to talk to him. It turns out that her father switched pathways because if he resurrects as the Black Emperor, he will be rid of his corruption, and the madness from possessing Beyonder characteristics of incompatible pathways.

His plan didn’t work, as despite getting rid of his madness, even achieving godhood couldn’t rid him of his corruption. He then tells Bernadette to seal him, which she achieves with the help of The Fool.

After leaving the island, she advances to Sequence 2, , having completed the advancement ritual of averting a disaster that involves a high level existence.
