Beatrix WaltonI will pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation.BioDaughter of Adventurer, Richard Walton, and former prostitute, Gretchen Frankenstein; granddaughter of Victor Frankenstein and Elizabeth Lavenza.
Richard Walton, exhibitionist and geographical scientist, found Victor Frankenstein dying on the outskirts of the North Pole. He alter learns that the Doctor is searching for the famed Monster. Richard tried his best to nurse the doctor back to health and in return Frankenstein told Richard his life’s story and about the Monster that he had created.
Dr. Frankenstein died on the ship before Walton and his crew could reach the North Pole. After the doctor’s death Richard meets the Monster and lets him continue on to his solitude where no one would dare look for him (in the wilds of the arctic). All of this is told in letters to his sister, Margaret Saville, in London.
Curious about Dr. Frankenstein and his story, Richard leaves off his expedition and journeys to the places mentioned in Frankenstein’s life’s tale. Through this journey he finds Frankenstein’s secret, a daughter, Gretchen Frankenstein.
Gretchen Frankenstein was kept at the Frankenstein house after Elizabeth’s death. However, once people know of the Monster and who had created it the home was no longer safe. Gretchen was orphaned while her father, in his madness, searched for the monster to kill him. She grew up in charity houses and debtors prisons, ending up as a prostitute on the streets.
She became pregnant and had a daughter that she named Beatrix. Not knowing how to raise a child with her profession she put the child in a Catholic charity house.
Richard Walton found Gretchen in a poor state, starving and wanting to kill herself. He paid her debts and took her daughter from the charity house. The three them moved to London where Margaret awaited them in the Walton family home.
Richard married Gretchen less than a year later and adopted Beatrix on her seventh birthday.
Beatrix, is very much like her grandfather, with a scientific, if slightly mad mind. She became the pupil of the son of Victor Frankenstein’s mentor, M. Walden. Edgar Walden taught Beatrix the scientific basis she needed to understand her grandfather’s work, which Richard recovered in the ruins of the Frankenstein home.
Gretchen died when Beatrix was fifteen of tuberculosis. The family evacuated the home after the funeral and moved to Kent. In the new home Richard paid for a lab to be built in the barn on the new property. Beatrix spent more time in the new lab than in the house, spending days, without sleep, working on her grandfather’s projects.
By the time she was twenty Beatrix had reached the level of scientific expertise that her grandfather was at when he left the University. Richard, with love and respect for his daughter, fought hard to get her into Oxford, as one of the very few female students. There she took classes in botany, chemistry, natural science, biology, and modern technology. Her professors made it herd for her to excel, her being female and a Frankenstein.
It is rumored that she is working on Victor Frankenstein’s plans to re-create life.
In her research of her grandfather’s journals and notes she found references to aids that he had in London such as a Dr. M and a Dr. Calgori. With her determination and notes in hand she began her search for these two.
Dr. Calgori was found in Bedlam, locked up in a padded cell. He could tell her little of anything intelligible and most of his statements disturbed Beatrix enough to leave the asylum quickly. She was able to obtain a few of Calgori’s diaries through an estate auction but they, like the statements of their author, were mostly inane scribbles.
Her next search was the mysterious Dr. M. At first everywhere she looked lead to a dead end, then she picked up a newspaper one morning when she was picking up some purchases at the bakery for her Aunt Margaret. The front-page article was on a detective gone missing in France when he was hunting down a notorious murderer, Dr. Moriarty.
With a name she made a few searches but still found only dead ends. The newspaper articles following showed that the London police felt that Dr. Moriarty was dead. If he is dead then Beatrix has lost all hope for finding anyone who could help her figure out her grandfather’s work.
PersonalityBeatrix is withdrawn and driven. All over free time outside of classes and mandatory time spent with her widower father, Richard, and widowed aunt, Margaret, is spent in the labs of Oxford or on her family’s estate in Kent. She doesn’t make friends easily, since every time she meets someone the fact that they will eventually die and decay fills her mind.
She has an obsession and a fear of death, the same her grandfather had.
She is usually quiet except when dealing out facts or asking questions that she usually can find no one to answer. Her conversation is short and sentences too the point and sometimes cold and rude.
