Occupation: Former College Student
Beatrix has been obsessed with Japan since childhood, eventually dropping everything to travel there from Germany. Her timing, unfortunately, was terrible—she arrived right as a zombie pandemic was kicking off. Rather than turning back, she fell in with Akira's group, who were on a mission to deliver fresh fish to one of the last sushi chefs still alive.
What sets her apart is her encyclopedic knowledge of Japanese culture. Fans often note she knows the country's customs and history better than most actual Japanese people, which comes in handy when she's pushing the group to embrace traditional practices during their travels. It's the kind of thing that could come across as annoying, but she genuinely cares about experiencing things the right way.
As for combat, Beatrix is genuinely skilled with traditional Japanese weapons. She carries katanas, a naginata spear, a bow and arrow, and even wears full Shogunate armor. The group basically relies on her to handle the zombie problem whenever things get hairy, and she's more than capable of holding her own. It's a practical arrangement that plays to her strengths.
