In 1980 during the annual family conference, Battler accidentally makes a promise to Shannon that they would have a life together soon, and she took what he was saying as truth, and waited for him. Especially thanks to her relationship with Battler Ushiromiya and the other Ushiromiya cousins around her age. Eventually deciding to become a witch, albeit still maintaining the Shannon persona, effectively splitting Shannon and "Beatrice" into two different people.Īs time progress though, Sayo began to focus more on the real world all but discarding the fantasy world entirely. The only comfort Yasu having in these troubled times being the motherly guidance of Kumasawa (the Ushiromiya elderly housekeeper) and mystery novels such as Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, she also began to create imaginary friends and personas such as the perfect servant "Shannon" as well as starting to blame objects disappearing on the Golden Witch Beatrice, even playing pranks of newer servants to continue the witch's legend as well as to try to gain respect as Shannon. By either fate or deliberate action on Kinzo's part, she was one of the orphans selected to work at Rokkenjima as servants a fact that confused her fellow orphans/co-workers due to having perceived privileges (such as a room all to themself and only working weekends so that she can attend school along with Jessica) as well as being significantly younger and having traits unbecoming of a servant such as clumsiness and forgetfulness, becoming an instant target of bullying.
They were then taken to the Fukuin House orphanage and under the alias Sayo Yasuda, although Fukuin had a practice of "blessed names" in which they combine the first kanji of the child's given name (in this case "紗") and the kanji for sound "音", giving us Shannon. Unbeknownst to the other island inhabitants, the child survived its fall off the cliff, but was gravely injured with particular damage to the sex organs, being reassigned from male to female and raised as such. The child later fell off of a cliff along with a servant nineteen years ago. The child was given to Natshui as a sign of atonement, but she rejected it Natushi viewing it as a sign of her failure of her womanhood. "Why don't you bite at your belly button and die?").Yasu (born Lion Ushiromiya) was the child of Kinzo Ushiromiya, and was conceived through incest with Kinzo's daughter Beatrice Ushiromiya. She is very mocking of others, repeatedly taunting them by saying, "Heso demo kande shinjaebā?" (ヘソでも噛んで死んじゃえばぁ?, lit. She is most likely the manifestation of all the Eva culprit theories similar to how Black Battler is the manifestation of all the Battler Culprit theories. In many ways, she is even crueler than the original Beatrice, using her Endless Magic to "play" with her victims by killing them in bizarre ways (drowning in a sea of jelly, crushing under a mountain of cake) before resurrecting them and killing them again, repeating the cycle until she tires. Eva-Beatrice is described by Ange as a "black witch," meaning she manipulates others through anger and hatred. As stipulated in the epitaph, Eva inherits the name "Beatrice" and is granted the titles of Golden and Endless Witch, with Lambdadelta as her guardian. She first appears in Banquet of the Golden Witch, where she helps Eva solve the riddle of Beatrice's epitaph, leading to her discovery of Kinzo's hidden gold and her inheritance of the Ushiromiya family. She represents all of Eva's dark desires from her childhood, including her greed for the Ushiromiya family inheritance as such, she has the appearance of Eva as a young girl.
