Euphemia Beckwith

**Euphemia Beckwith** ( ベックウィズ・ユーフェミア, *Bekkuu~izu Yūfemia* ) is a mortician and one of the few participants in the Death Game.

## Appearance

Euphemia is a fair-skinned woman and has low, fluffy pigtails that reach her lower back with face-framing side layers. The top layer of her bangs is curled inwards. Her hair is a reddish-brown color.

Her dress is Edwardian inspired, with mutton sleeves ending halfway down her forearms, a corset, long skirt, and a stand-up collar. She wears black tights, a rose choker, flat high-heels, black lipstick on her upper lip, and a veil, the right side decorated with two roses: one large and one medium. Though she can see moderately well, others cannot see her face.

Being a participant of the Death Game, she wears a collar device.

## Personality

Euphemia seems withdrawn and often in her own head. Oftentimes, she does not speak unless spoken to, although there are exceptions. Despite her passive demeanor, she makes an attempt to contribute to the topics at hand and expresses concern for those she grows fond of.

She is not shy exactly but does find it difficult to connect with others upon mentioning her occupation.

## History

### Background

She has no siblings or is close with any immediate family, but her upbringing was fairly decent.

Euphemia owns and operates a funeral home. In the beginning, she started as the home’s mortician, but later became the funeral director alongside her duties as a mortician. The promotion was rough, but she learned to adjust.

Most of Euphemia’s formal wardrobe takes inspiration from both the Victorian and Edwardian periods. While she appreciates most Victorian fashion, most dresses designed during that period would make it unsuitable for her to perform her duties as a mortician, so she dresses more in Edwardian style while at work, although these outfits are not 100% historically accurate. She owns a lot of dresses; they make up a majority of her wardrobe and house space.

Euphemia likes to follow certain outdated Victorian traditions. Not all of them, but ones she indulges in often align with her moral compass. Often, she will state these facts at random to people, and their reactions are often ones of confusion or surprise.

Euphemia’s job is one she takes very seriously. To her, preparing the dead for their parting ceremonies is something she deems extremely important, and takes every step of the process with utmost care, as final departures should reflect a proper goodbye. She does not see it as disrespectful to dress while at her workplace, in her eyes she's respecting those who have passed on by ensuring everything surrounding the deceased is designed with beauty and care. Sometimes, she has tea parties or picnics in the cemetery, just to keep those who died company. Especially those with no visitors.

Euphemia approaches the subject of death in a certain way. Grief can manifest differently in people, and she does her best to help her clients that are struggling to cope. Over the years, she has learned things to say, to not, topics to avoid and with time she became great at helping those who either were taking the loss hard, or ones who didn’t have anyone else to talk to.

She does carry a will on her at all times. Why? Who knows, but she does. It's really extra too, written in calligraphy.

## Relationships

### Ryōichi Ikehara

Something like him getting Euphemia to show him ‘Haunted’ places because she looks like she would know some (she doesn't she just likes old architecture or something)

### Sumire Kandou

They should share a bottle of wine to be honest like not even like in depth conversation just 🍷 😭

### Ali Ayumi

Ali would try to get Euphemia to laugh or something (it wouldn’t work)

### Charles Edward III

I need these two to get into some sort of verbal altercation it would be so freaking funny like 🧐 vs 😶 Like plsplsplspls I need Euphemia to insult his outfit in the most neutral tone possible.

### Ayane Furukawa
