Beatrice is one of the five main characters from the musical Willow. Beatrice lives on a farm that borders the edge of The Forest and loves gardening or something idfk

Description
Beatrice takes no sh*t from nobody. While she was the baby of her family growing up, she very quickly had to become the adult of her home when her brothers moved away and her father died. She runs the Anderson farm alone, just as she has spent her life. She has never had a partner, and has never really even had a best friend. But as tough as she acts, when she sees Adelaide, she can't help but feel a little shy for the first time in her life. ⁠

Willow
On a Sunday afternoon, Beatrice finds Adelaide, who has tripped off the path next to the Anderson Farm. The two quickly fall in love over the summer and when Beatrice is informed of Adelaide's cancer diagnosis, she asks Adelaide to move in. When Adelaide declines, stating that she doesn't think unmarried couples should live together, Beatrice asks her to come back that evening under the willow tree and proposes. Adelaide accepts, and they get married. It might not be legally recognized, but it's enough for them. After Adelaide dies in the hospital, Beatrice buries her under the willow tree. Then, it's fall, and Beatrice returns to the willow for the first time since the burial, where a girl in rainbow sneakers and a butterfly backpack appears. Her name is Meg, and she talks a mile a minute while showing off her jar of tadpoles. Beatrice is shocked when Meg climbs into Adelaide's old chair, but when questioned, Meg simply says “Oh! This is my imaginary friend’s chair. She said I could borrow it for a while.” Beatrice looks up into the branches and smiles.
