- Beatrix is also a character in the video game Final Fantasy IX. She is the captain of Queen Brahne's guards, and wields a broadsword called "Save The Queen". She appears as an antagonist in the game, but on a few brief occasions she joins the party. She can be unlocked using a gameshark, but this can cause the game to bug.
