Characters currently in-game: Matt Murdock, France
CHARACTER
Character Name: Beverly Marsh
Character Age: 13
Canon: It (2017)
Canon Point: End of the movie, after the blood pact
History: Character Wiki
Personality:
Beverly Marsh is a survivor. From the moment that she appears in the movie, Bev seems like a girl under siege. She's harassed by bullies at school -- with false rumors being circulated widely about her sexual promiscuity -- and her situation at home is even worse. Despite this, Beverly isn't the type to back down. She's not afraid to talk back to the girls who are picking on her, and despite their taunts and bullying, she keeps moving forward.
Despite her own issues with bullies, Beverly is not afraid to stand up for other people. When she first runs into Ben she tries to advise him that Bowers and the other bullies are on the other side of the school so he should be safe. Later when she and the other losers come across Mike being attacked by Bowers, Bev is the first to jump into the fray and throw a rock at the bullies, starting the battle. This particular moment is a turning point, because Bev and the other Losers get a taste of the fact that together they are a great deal more powerful than they have ever been individually, powerful enough to stand up to and fend off Henry Bowers and his gang and emerge victorious. This is something that sticks with Bev, and she is one of the louder proponents of needing to stick together and not allow It to separate them, since that must be what It wants. When the others aside from Bill are ready to give up because it's too much for them, Beverly is ready to continue fighting.
In general, when she's outside her home, Beverly shows a great deal of bravery. She's the first to jump from the cliff into the quarry without hesitation. She outright attacks It after Eddie has been injured in the house at Neibolt street. Though she's clearly scared, she manages to summon enough courage to stab the clown thing through the head, enough that it retreats and she and the other Losers are able to get away for the time being.
Beverly is thirteen, that weird age between being a child and actually starting to become an adult. She's dealing with people spreading rumors about her promiscuity (though they're lies) and in pushing her boundaries. She smokes, steals cigarettes, helps the other Losers shoplift medical supplies to help Ben. In general, despite her fears and insecurities, Beverly comes across as very sure of herself, confident and unafraid. She's playful, teasing Ben about his music choices, not afraid to flip of Richie when he has it coming. But she cares about her newfound friends, and makes sure that they know it, that she never felt like a Loser when she was with them. She also has more than a little crush on Bill -- and is more than a little swayed by the poem that Ben secretly wrote for her.
Despite the confidence and charisma Bev manages to display, she is hiding a definite darkness, one that she doesn't open up about even with her friends. This has to do with her home life and the abusive relationship with her father.
When she's home, there are times where Beverly almost seems to disappear into herself, especially around her father, tending to be quieter and more uncertain, as though she's trying to go unnoticed as much as possible. There are times when she literally tiptoes around him. There are certainly good reasons for this, as it's heavily implied that Beverly's father is abusive. Though the movie doesn't go into specifics about the nature of this abuse, there is an unsettling sexual undertone to the way Mr. Marsh speaks to his daughter, and his obsession with what she is or isn't doing with boys, and whether she is still his little girl. Bev's fear of her father is absolutely clear. Beverly also chops off all her hair after an incident with her father, in tears and trying to rid herself of it after the encounter. Her father later asks her why she did that as it makes her look like a boy. For the majority of the film she tries to avoid him and keep docile and quiet -- but by the end she is ready to face her fear. She stands up to her father and fights back against him when he appears to be making an advance on her. In this, Beverly manages to stand up to her greatest fear and physically incapacitates her father, and is able to escape from this as at the end of the film she will be leaving to live with her aunt in Portland.
By standing up to her father and emerging victorious against him, this means that It is not able to frighten Bev any longer after It kidnaps her. She's already faced the thing she feared the most. So instead of eating her, It puts her into a trance until she's saved by her friends. The visions that Beverly sees while in this trance appear as if they're of the future, and these visions are a big part of the blood pact that all the Losers make that they'll regroup to fight It again, should It ever reappear.
Overall, Beverly is a strong girl. She's a kid figuring out where she fits in the world, and she's strong enough to stand up to the darkest parts of her life and come out the other side. She believes and relies on her friends and will do anything she can for them, even if it means facing down the creature again in the future.
Inventory:
Clothes on her back, and that's about it.
Abilities:
Beverly is a normal kid. No super powers. No extraordinary abilities. But she's got a pretty good throwing arm, and has had a bit of experience stabbing clowns in the face so there's that.
Flaws:
Like any thirteen year old kid, Beverly has a few boundary-pushing issues. She's finding her place in the world. She smokes, she shoplifts. She swears. She's not afraid to start fights (though for a good cause). Beverly also physically injures (perhaps kills; the film is ambiguous about Mr. Marsh's eventual fate) her father. This is in self defense, but even so. Bev is capable of violence, though she's always had a good reason in defending herself or others because of it.
