(cw: manipulative type behavior)
Beverly Jean Quitman āBevā (40) is Melodieās coworker and considers herself to be a rival of Melodie. Bev is jealous of Melodie because of the talk that sheās going to be offered a higher position, and despite not putting in nearly the same amount of effort as Melodie, Bev still believes that position should go to her. She has tried to ruin Melodieās reputation by talking bad about her to the people working for their company, trying to find any dirt she can on the woman to spoil any chance she may have of getting the position. Bev has been watching Melodie, and is aware she is going through something, though she doesnāt know what. No matter what it is though, Bev plans to find out and use it to her advantage by twisting it to make Melodie look bad. She has a way of doing that, and Bev is confident she can get what she wants without anyone suspecting her of anything bad.
People close to Bev, such as her husband and two teenage sons, consider her to be extremely childish and petulant, due to her nature of trying to take what is ārightfully hersā, despite doing absolutely nothing to deserve such things. She is manipulative and will do what it takes to get what wants, with little regard to peopleās feelings. She married her husband not because she loved him, but because he was wealthy and considerably attractive, and would give her a good look in the eyes of others, so they had two children and Bev now rules the household with an iron fist, not letting anyone ādisrespectā her. She controls her children and husband, regulating who her children talk to and date as well as making her husband do whatever she pleases. Bev has two sisters who have no contact with her whatsoever, having cut her off when Bev did too many things for them to let slide. Bev doesnāt care, though, as in her eyes she still has the upper hand, and is winning in life without having to put in any extra work. People may not like her, but she knows they fear her, and will give her whatever she desires, and thatās enough for her.
(wanted to do something wacky, hope this isnāt bad.)
