Summary
Beatrice is the main antagonist of Episodes 1-4. She clashes with Battler Ushiromiya, trying to convince him that witches are real and that she used magic to execute a series of bizarre murders on the island of Rokkenjima. She claims to have lived for over a thousand years. She has already strayed from the domain of humans, and it is said that as demons do, she appears when summoned by a human and lends him her power for a compensation of equivalent value. She likes black tea and ice cream and hates boredom and people who deny her.

All previous
All previous powers and abilities, with an existence superior to the entire infinite hierarchy of higher layers.
Attack Potency: Varies from Human level physically, Building level with Weaker Magic (Can summon and attack with lightning bolts. Her summons are around this level), Island level, likely Moon level to High Universe level with Stronger Magic (Stated she or Virgilia could destroy the entirety of Rokkenjima. Created the thyphon that spans across the entire island, and should scale to Eva Beatrice who can create a several kilometer ocean as deep as the Mariana Trench. Stated she could destroy the moon and should be comparable to the Chiesta Sister's weapon, that can destroy a asteroid. The creation of Mariage Sorciage gave her and Maria literally infinite power) to Low Complex Multiverse level (Accessed a higher layer of the chessboard beyond the physical world, which is stated to include 5-dimensional space, and fought against a held back Dlanor and the Eiserne Jungfrau while in this state), potentially High Hyperverse level with Endless Magic (Endless Magic is said to have control over an individual's journey through the infinite layers of the sea of fragments, being potentially capable of granting infinite evolution through all of its endeavors to a lower-order being when paired with Maria's Magic of Origins) | Complex Multiverse level (Exists in the Meta-World, a higher realm of existence from which the entire Human Domain is regarded as fiction and its inhabitants are seen as pieces laid on a chessboard, their fates and lives merely small fragments which can be manipulated and physically interacted with even by normal humans inhabiting this perspective. This includes structures such as the Underside of the Chessboard, a void of nothingness completely lacking space and time which resides "nowhere" in relation to the entire world of the pieces) to High Complex Multiverse level (Can manifest in a layer above the Meta-World, in which she stands superimposed over the scenery and perceives events there as frozen in time. Can access the Golden Land, which is stated to exist on an even higher level than all of the above), potentially High Hyperverse level with Endless Magic | Hyperverse level (As the Game Master and Territory Lord, she embodies her gameboard and exists within a higher layer than everything else within it, including the previously mentioned Golden Land and the local Sea of Fragments that sees it as fiction), potentially High Hyperverse level with Endless Magic | Hyperverse level (Manifested in the City of Books, one of the highest realm in the World of Witches, above the majority of the infinite layers of existence leading to the Creator Domain, containing countless books and stories, a single one of which could record all of Umineko, with the lives of individual characters taking up little more than a single line), potentially High Hyperverse level with Endless Magic | Hyperverse level, potentially High Hyperverse level with Endless Magic, will eventually become far higher (Would completely transcend the Witch's Domain, quickly ascending and evolving through the last steps of the infinite ladder and eventually reaching Featherine's level of existence)
Speed: Varies from Massively Hypersonic+ (Dodged and outsped lightning in her battle against Virgilia), possibly Infinite (Upon gaining the rank of Endless Sorcerer, Battler surpassed the concept of distance in the layer of existence he was in. Beatrice should be capable of the same) to Immeasurable (Fought in a higher world from which the flow of time in the material world was perceived as stopped) | Immeasurable (Freed from all of the material world's restrictions, and transcends even realms devoid of space and time entirely such as Gaap's Abyss) | Immeasurable (Comparable to Game Master Battler, whose movements completely surpassed the concepts of speed and distance even on his own level of existence, and were beyond the comprehension of humans manifested in the Meta-World) | Immeasurable (Exists in one of the highest realm in the World of Witches, above the majority of the infinite layers of existence leading to the Creator Domain) | Immeasurable
Lifting Strength: Varies from Unknown to Immeasurable | Immeasurable (Exists in a higher dimension where three-dimensional concepts of size and mass are irrelevant, with entire worlds which themselves contain higher-dimensional structures being just fiction contained in small fragments to him, and the human world as a whole nothing but a chessboard) | Immeasurable (Can telekinetically lift and manipulate multiple fragments in order to weave together a game board) | Immeasurable | Immeasurable
Striking Strength: Varies from Human level to Low Complex Multiverse level | At least Complex Multiverse level to High Complex Multiverse level | Hyperverse level | Hyperverse level | Hyperverse level, will eventually become far higher
Durability: Varies from At least Human level, Island level, likely Moon level to High Universe level with Forcefields (At it's max, it could even block attacks from the Chiesta sisters). to Low Complex Multiverse level. Hyperverse level to High Hyperverse level for her Heart (Embodies the essence of infinity and nothing from her Endless Magic, making her virtually impossible to destroy even to someone who is equal to or stronger than her such as Eva-Beatrice, and could easily tank her Endless Magic) | At least Complex Multiverse level to High Complex Multiverse level, Hyperverse level to High Hyperverse level for her Heart | Hyperverse level, Hyperverse level to High Hyperverse level for her Heart | Hyperverse level | Hyperverse level, will eventually become far higher
Stamina: Functionally Infinite | Infinite, has no requirements other than the desire to exist
Range: At least Tens of Kilometers (Created the typhoon surrounding Rokkenjima), up to Complex Multiversal (Created a portal to the underside of the gameboard), Hyperversal, up to High Hyperversal with Endless Magic | Hyperversal, up to High Hyperversal with Endless Magic | Hyperversal, up to High Hyperversal with Endless Magic | Hyperversal | Hyperversal, will eventually become far higher
Standard Equipment: Her pipe, which she can transform into a sword at will, countless goat servants | Her own realm
Intelligence: Supergenius; The mastermind behind most of the major events, and plotted all the entire crimes in Rokkenjima. The greatest student of Virgilia and a great alchemist, a good psychologist and actor. Even amongst other witches and higher beings, she is considered a genius for creating her catbox, which contains infinite possibilities. Solved the infinite mysteries of the Gameboard at the end of Chapter 8
Weaknesses: Somewhat overconfident and arrogant. High concentrations of anti-magic toxins are deadly to her. Cannot create something from 0, or reach the Golden Land without Maria. If her Golden Heart is destroyed, she will be truly dead, though this is much easier said than done. Her magic depends on her faith in it. The limitations of her territory | Boredom, and the possibility of losing the will to continue. Inability to leave her realm | She did not receive this degree of power until she believes in it.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Endless Magic: The signature magical system utilized by the Endless Witch, whose foundations lie upon the concept of infinity, be it as an endless repetition or an infinite expansion, hence allowing him to revert anything back to its original state by making them remember the form which they used to hold, repairing broken objects and resurrecting people from the dead, as well as allowing Beatrice to recover from fatal injuries by rewinding his body back to its original state, and creating infinity out of any number so long as it is not 0, modifying finite quantities so that they expand infinitely.
However, the true basis and source of Endless Magic lies on the concept of a "a cat in a box", that is, an unobserved entity of infinite variation whose uncertain existence makes it so all possible interpretations of them are equally valid and impossible to be denied, causing it to be the root of infinite possibilities and scenarios. Thus, the Endless Witch is akin to a storyteller who weaves infinite tales and stories, shaping their own worlds and controlling the infinitely-stretching possibilities contained in their catbox.
Game Master: As Game Master, Beatrice exists on a higher plane of existence than everything else in her territory, and the world shapes itself to her will under this state, with even attacking her through conventional means being impossible without her direct permission, and she can similarly decide who enters and who leaves it. In addition, she can weave stories and tales on a far more advanced scale than other higher-order beings, being able to manipulate countless fragments to piece together her own plotline, as well as rewriting the resulting structure at will.
Truths: Special moves utilized in debates between Witches and Humans taking place in the Meta-World, being statements denoted by specific colors which often manifest as conceptual weapons that directly target the enemy's very existence in an attempt to deny it, and are thus impossible to physically avoid, forcing opponents to counter the attacker's arguments with another truth. As the damage dealt by the Truths is conceptual, rather than strictly physical, they completely bypass conventional durability and allow Beatrice to skewer and even kill opponents much more powerful than herself.
- Red Truth: Irrefutable, objective truth that needs no evidence or proof to demonstrate its validity. In essence, the Red Truth takes an unobserved possibility existing alongside infinitely many and asserts it as the ultimate truth, being capable of completely denying an opponent's existence, body and soul, and sending them to the depths of oblivion without hope of recovery. However, it is impossible to lie (Essentially trying to deny the validity of a wave function that has already been collapsed) using this technique, and one can find gaps, semantic loopholes and different interpretations even in statements spoken in red, potentially allowing them to counterattack with an argument of their own, though the Red Truth itself remains unrefuted.
- Blue Truth: A theoretical scenario made with the purpose of directly denying the enemy's arguments and existence, whose true validity is unclear but nonetheless takes precedence over any statements spoken in basic white text, while being inferior to the Red Truth. It normally assumes the form of several stakes which skewer and impale opponents, damaging them on a conceptual level and being impossible to remove unless their falsehood is directly declared with the Red Truth; otherwise, that which is spoken in blue will be asserted as the truth and grant victory to the attacker, while erasing their opponent's concept entirely.
- Golden Truth: A mysterious, divine truth whose foundations are built completely differently from the Red and Blue Truths, and which can only be spoken by an individual who has fully understood the truth of their game board and attained the position of Game Master, reigning absolute over their own territory and having full knowledge of all its rules. Unlike the other Truths, its effects are circumstancial and can be both inferior and superior to the Red Truth, being potentially able to overwrite it completely in latter cases.
