Beatrix LeBeau

Beatrix LeBeau is the name of the Rancher that players control during the course of the game. Not much is known about Beatrix's personal life prior to becoming a Rancher, other than she has a special someone back on Earth named Casey who goes into some detail about their interactions via StarMail received during the course of the game.

Beatrix is the new owner of the The Ranch, which was previously owned and left into disrepair by Hobson.

Changes

• 1.0.0 - Beatrix is now viewable on the title screen and in her house. Hello, Beatrix!; Casey's and Hobson's story was finished.
• 0.5.1 - You will now receive occasional starmails from Casey, someone important to Beatrix whom she left behind back on Earth. While there is plenty to read in this update, both Casey and Hobson’s story will be completed in a future update.

Trivia

• In one of Casey's Letters to Beatrix, it is revealed that Beatrix slept in a pod sent by the 7Zee Corporation for a year prior to her arrival at the Far, Far Range.
• She had different looks in earlier versions. In the Prototype of the game, the Vacpack was a Team Fortress 2 Medigun. Up to 0.2.0 releasing, an early Vacpack was released with a textureless hand.
• Beatrix's mouth is a face shader with negative depth values, so that it appears 2D from almost any angle, or "fake 2D".
