Sebastiana Arrache

*This name uses Chasque naming customs. The maiden surname is* Arrache*, while the married surname is* Beingoarena*.*

**Sebastiana Arrache Beingoarena** (born 19 March 1944) is a Maronan beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Terre Chasque 1964. She went on to represent Terre Chasque at Miss Marone 1965, placing as the first runner-up, behind winner Vaea Maret. Following Maret's victory at Miss Parth 1965, Arrache was called up to begin deputizing her as Miss Marone while Maret was fulfilling her Miss Parth duties. Despite this, Arrache was never awarded the title of Miss Marone, and completed her duties under the title of first runner-up.

## Early life and education

Arrache was born on 19 March 1944 in Enchaurtiète to parents Arotz Arrache (1918–1992) and Zeita Luceta Arracherena (1921–2008). Both of her parents were born in the Chasque Community in Spania, but fled to Terre Chasque in Marone following the rise to power of José Manuel Ferrero and the authoritarian regime in 1940. The family was working-class, with her father being a construction worker and her mother a homemaker. Arrache is the second of three children; her siblings include Gorri (1942–2021) and Klio (born 1947).

Arrache began her education in 1949, attending public schooling in Enchaurtiète, where she first learned how to speak the Maronan language. Arrache graduated from primary school in 1956, and subsequently completed *collège* in 1959. She afterwards enrolled in a *lycée professionnel* program to become a secretary, and graduated with honors in 1961. Following her graduation, Arrache began working as a secretary at the mayor's office of Enchaurtiète. She left the position in 1964, and began working as a secretary for a real estate company.

## Pageantry

### Miss Terre Chasque 1964

Arrache began her pageantry career in 1964, after registering to compete in Miss Terre Chasque 1964 in July 1964, ultimately going on to win the title. As Miss Terre Chasque, Arrache was qualified to compete in Miss Marone 1965. Miss Marone was held in December 1964 in Vièça, where Arrache went on to advance into the Top 7, and ultimately finished as the first runner-up, behind Vaea Maret.

Maret later went on to be crowned Miss Parth 1965 in August 1965. Following her victory, the Maronan media reported that Maret would be forced to resign her Miss Marone title to Arrache in order to assume her Miss Parth duties. Évelyne von Kupp denied these reports, but later confirmed that although Maret would not be forced to resign her national title, Arrache would be called up as a "deputy" in order to fill in for Maret at certain events and appearances in Marone while Maret was unable to participate. As a result, Arrache resided in the Miss Marone titleholder apartment in Delmas between August and December 1965, and worked as a promotional model and brand representative both domestically and internationally for Miss Marone and its sponsors, despite never assuming the Miss Marone title; this led Arrache to become the first woman to assume the duties of Miss Marone without becoming Miss Marone herself.

## Personal life

Arrache married Maronan Chasque construction worker Gabon Beingoa in 1968, following a two-year relationship. Beingoa was born in the Chasque Community in Spania, but fled with his family to Marone in 1941, as an infant. The family has two children: Midas (born 1970) and Arbona (born 1973). Arbona went on to be crowned Miss Terre Chasque 1994 and competed at Miss Marone 1995.
