## Biography

### Early life

When she was just an infant, Beatrice was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Vervain. She lived with them along with their daughters, her two adoptive sisters Edith and Mavis, in a tenement flat. She is the youngest of three, Edith being twelve years older than her and Mavis four. For her first birthday, she was gifted a blanket custom made by Mavis, who was four at the time.

When she was young, Beatrice took an interest in embroidery. Before her mother's death, she learned the basics of the skill and Mavis taught her how to more intricate designs to the point where she didn't need her sister's help. On occasions, Beatrice will embroider a design on the dresses Mavis's friend, Araceli orders.

### 68th Hunger Games

At the reaping in Tribute, Part 1, it was Beatrice's name that was originally pulled out of the girls' reaping bowl, but Mavis volunteers to take Beatrice's place. She prevented Beatrice to take any tesserae, worried she'd be thrown into the games her first year like their older sister. Beatrice was struck in horror when Mavis volunteered and tried to stop her before Mavis told her to go to their father, to which she obeyed. During their goodbyes, Beatrice made Mavis promise she would return and try everything to do so. Beatrice watched the Games with her family and hoped Mavis would survive. The night before Mavis went into the arena, their mother took her own life to be with her daughters, which made Beatrice even more miserable. With the help of Mavis' district partner and former best friend, Harlan Fowler and the male tribute from District 12, Evyn, she was able to achieve the goal of returning home.
