Beryl is the only daughter of a wealthy Vacuoan family. During her childhood, she was the only witness to the traumatic murder of her mother by her father, which, when combined with how easily the truth was buried, even with her protests, left her deeply mentally scarred. She’s arrogant and often relies on her Semblance to accomplish tasks, trusting her familiar, Faust, more than her teammates, which ultimately is an extension of her own learned helplessness. Beryl's childhood traumas have also caused her to have a misandric streak, leading to tension between her and Siyah. Her Semblance allows her to project her Aura completely off her body, manifesting as a demonic humanoid named Faust. As such, while she has a dagger for self defense, she prefers to let Faust do the heavy lifting.
Faust itself is a sapient, questionably sentient Aura construct, capable of acting independently of Beryl, usually manifesting as a large, translucent purple humanoid with two forward facing horns and a fanged maw adorning its otherwise featureless skull. Despite being capable of independent action, Faust is only capable of being summoned and maintained by Beryl’s own will and Aura reserves, meaning that should she fall unconscious, run out of Aura, or have her Aura debilitated for whatever reason, Faust will be forcefully dispelled. This, in combination with its intelligent, questionably sentient mind, gives Faust an extremely overprotective nature, innately defending Beryl and only Beryl unless otherwise ordered. Despite these two major flaws, Faust is still intelligent enough to work alongside others, making its strength and shapeshifting an immense boon to the team, provided that its master is willing to play ball. Beryl alludes to the titular character of Doctor Faust from The Tragical History of Doctor Faust, with Faust, ironically enough, being an allusion to Mephistopheles, the demon that Doctor Faust summons to gain arcane knowledge.
