The Traville Family

General

• Big, Screwed-Up Family: The family consists of domineering Rich Bitch Beatrice, Henpecked Husband Richard who usually struggles to rein her in, and their eldest daughter Stella, a Brainless Beauty who messed up her own family. Thankfully, after Stella finally stands up to her mother and Richard promises to no longer enable his wife's antics, things seem to get better for the family (sans Beatrice).
• Blue Blood: According to Stella, her family immigrated to New York from France generations ago, and is one of the richest in the state. It's later revealed Richard comes from a generations-wealthy oil family while Beatrice is descended from nobility.
• Heir Club for Men: Liam is the only son and is the one running the family business now that Richard is retired.
• Horrible Judge of Character: When it comes to romantic partners, Richard and his sister Simone don't have the best track record as he married the Hate Sink Beatrice while Simone dated the criminal Sergio.
• Massive Numbered Siblings: Beatrice and Richard have 5 children in total: Liam, Stella, Jocelyn, Chasity, and Genevieve.
• Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Richard is the Nice for being a charitable and kindhearted man who doesn't care about money or status, Beatrice is the Mean since she's a Hate Sink Rich Bitch who treats even her own family like dirt due to her warped obsession with privilege and wealth, and Stella is the In-Between as she was once a sweet girl who was raised to become a spoiled snob, but still possesses redeeming qualities and is capable of change.
• Nobility Marries Money: Beatrice and Richard's marriage was essentially this. Beatrice's family was descended from a count but fell into massive debts by her teen years. The reason she married Richard was largely to avoid bankruptcy.

Richard Traville

Star's maternal grandfather. He makes his debut in "Visited".

---

• Antics-Enabling Wife: Gender-Inverted and deconstructed. By the end of "Visited", Richard admits he only made things worse by going along with Beatrice's awful behavior and promises to be much less lenient from now on.
• Benevolent Boss: His servants like him enough to pity him for marrying a crazy harpy like Beatrice.
• Beware the Nice Ones: He's shown to be a downright Nice Guy who's browbeaten by his wife into going along with her every whim. But his Papa Wolf moment below shows that no one, not even his domineering wife, gets away with hurting his granddaughter.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Gender-Inverted. He’s a gentle, levelheaded Nice Guy while his wife Beatrice is a domineering and unpleasant Rich Bitch Control Freak.
• Brutal Honesty: Richard, as loving as he is to Stella, admits to his daughter he hates her second husband and stepdaughter, thinking she should've stayed with Johnathan and never met them.
• Canon Foreigner: It’s likely Star has a maternal grandfather in canon, though he was never shown or mentioned.
• Car Fu: In "Traveled", he drives a limo into Power Surge and jumps out before it crashes into the electric ghost and explodes.
• Character Development: As of the end of “Visited”, he has decided to stop being a Henpecked Husband to Beatrice after finally acknowledging all the damage her awful behavior was causing everyone. He promises to be much more firm with his wife from now on and will make an effort to spend more time with his family since he feels guilty for putting work over being around for his daughter Stella while she was growing up.
• Cool Old Guy: He is much kinder and open-minded than his wife, and he is also supportive of Danny and Star's relationship.
• Cowardly Lion: In “Visited”, Richard knows Beatrice’s plan to arrange a marriage between Star and Donovan is a bad idea from the start but is too timid to stop her until he finally changes his mind after seeing the Loadman brat harass his granddaughter. Richard not only supports Stella getting restraining orders against Beatrice and Donovan, but promises that he’ll stop tolerating his wife’s domineering behavior and will be much more firm with her from now on.
• Dating What Daddy Hates: Stella is surprised to learn that Richard hates Jean-Luc, and despite his love for his grandson Pierre, he wishes that Stella had never met him.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the Henpecked Husband. His inability to stand up to his domineering, Rich Bitch wife only enables Beatrice's horrible behavior, had a negative effect on their children's psyches, and severely strains his relationship with his family since they dread the couple's visits. By the end of "Visited", he realizes how much he made things worse by being this and promises to be more firm with Beatrice from now on.
• Doting Parent: Unlike Beatrice, Richard, is very loving and caring towards Stella, but he could do little to help her or spend as much time as he would have liked with his children due to both being very busy running his company and being a Henpecked Husband to his wife. However, after standing up to Beatrice and promising to put his foot down more, Richard apologizes to Stella and promises to try and spend more time with her.
• Doting Grandparent: Similarly, Richard is very loving towards his granddaughter Star and also deeply loves Pierre, despite hating whom his father and other half-sister is. He makes it clear to Stella that Pierre is the only person from her second marriage he cares for. By the end of "Visited", he even gives Danny his blessing to be with Star, to the point he considers him family.
• Easily Forgiven: Neither Stella nor Star seem to hold it against him for not initially opposing Beatrice's plot to set Star up with Donovan or generally standing up to his shrew of a wife until the near end of "Visited".
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • It's implied that Richard disapproves of the way his wife treats non-upper-class people (such as Danny and even Johnathan) but chose not to defend them because of how overbearing Beatrice is. However, when Donovan Loadman (a boy Beatrice wanted to set up with their granddaughter Star) tries to forcefully kiss Star and then hurts her for rejecting him, Richard deems it unforgivable. He also finally calls out his wife when she takes Donovan's side over their granddaughter's and blames Danny. Richard furiously refuses to let Beatrice silence him and tells everyone what REALLY happened.
  • He does have limits with Beatrice's nasty attitude as when she insults him by calling him an "old goat", Richard reminds her that he knows her secret origins from a bankrupt noble family that she doesn't want anyone to know about. He eventually makes good on this by revealing it to his family, Team Phantom and their loved ones when they ask why he married an old harpy like Beatrice.
  • He has a deep hatred of the Beviers but makes an exception for Pierre since he's just an innocent baby. Although he still wishes Stella never met Jean-Luc.
• Excellent Judge of Character: He might be in denial about Beatrice being an irredeemable bitch, but he is spot on when he tells Stella that the Beviers (except for Pierre) are rotten to the core.
• Expy: He was inspired by Ursula's father Arthur Stanhope from the 1997 movie George of the Jungle, being a wealthy man who's far more understanding and accepting of his daughter's (granddaughter in Richard's case) relationship with the main character and just wishes for her to marry for love instead of wealth, unlike his snobby, domineering, classist, egotistical, and unpleasant harpy of a wife. Coincidentally, both Arthur and Richard are married to a woman named Beatrice.
• Extreme Doormat: He usually has trouble standing up to his dominating shrew of a wife or saying "no" to her. It's not until near the end of "Visited" where he finally stands up to Beatrice and refuses to go along with her antics any longer.
• Fatal Flaw: Passiveness. He’s far too much of a pushover when it comes to his overbearing wife Beatrice and him being a Henpecked Husband only enables her despicable behavior to the point she turned their daughter Stella into a shallow, flighty, insecure Brainless Beauty from years of emotional abuse and almost ruined Star’s life by trying to force their granddaughter into an unwanted Arranged Marriage with her most troublesome Abhorrent Admirer, Donovan, regardless of how much Star hates him or how much of a violent jerk Loadman is to her. It takes seeing Loadman attacking Star for Richard to finally wise up that his wife has gone too far. Not only does he tell everyone about Loadman abusing Star, but he firmly supports her relationship with Danny after accepting that he’s a much better man and agrees with Stella’s decision to get restraining orders against Toadman and Beatrice to protect Star. He promises to stop turning a blind eye to Beatrice’s horrendous behavior and be much stricter with her from now on.
• Generation Xerox: He is married to a Rich Bitch like Beatrice, while his eldest daughter Stella left Johnathan and remarried Rich Bastard Jean-Luc Bevier.
• The Ghost: He has yet to appear in the series. He makes his debut in "Visited".
• Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: While he is aware of his wife's selfishness and sociopathy, he remains with her partially out of some naive belief that she can become a better person.
• Good Is Not Dumb: While he naively believes Beatrice is capable of redemption, he fully sees Colette and Jean-Luc for the horrible people they are and knows Stella is deluding herself into believing they have good in them.
• Good Is Old-Fashioned: Admits to being this because he refuses to divorce Beatrice despite knowing how awful she is, partly since he believes in the sanctity of marriage.
• Good Parents: He genuinely loves his daughter Stella and the feeling is mutual, as she's fine with him visiting her anytime while Beatrice is kept away with a restraining order. Liam is also shown to love and respect Richard.
• Guilt by Association: The news that he's coming to visit with his wife is met with dread by everyone but Richard's efforts at being friendly make it clear that he's largely just lumped in with Beatrice in being despised; on a personal level, he makes a very sincere effort to be polite and courteous to others.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He's a gentle, good-hearted man who has gray hair now but was blonde in his youth like Stella.
• Henpecked Husband: It's clearly established in "Visited" that he's as dominated by his wife as his daughter is.
• Hidden Depths: The final chapter of "Visited" reveals that he had served in the army in his younger years.
• Hidden Disdain Reveal: Richard Traville's opinion on his daughter Stella's second husband was unknown, although his wife Beatrice greatly approved of Jean-Luc Bevier and hated Stella's first husband, Johnathan Strong. Richard admits to Stella he has no love for Jean-Luc or Colette, finding both of them very unpleasant. He admits to Stella he wishes she had never met them and stayed with Johnathan.
• Honest Corporate Executive: Although he is retired at this point, he ran his family's oil business for 42 years and he is a Nice Guy.
• Horrible Judge of Character: He thinks Beatrice can be redeemed out of a belief that deep down, she's still the sweet girl she was when they got married but everyone else, especially Star and Danny, knows Beatrice is a lost cause because of how completely unrepentant she is about everything she did. They only accept his decision to stay with Beatrice because they're just glad to have her out of their lives forever and Richard agreed to keep an eye on her so it stays that way.
• Humble Parent, Spoiled Kids: He's a perfectly genial man who couldn't care less about wealth or status, in contrast to his spoiled, social-climbing daughter Stella. Justified as Richard was busy with work and Stella was mainly raised by her Rich Bitch mother Beatrice, who drilled into her that money and privilege are all that matter, much to his regret. It becomes downplayed over time as Stella works on improving her attitude and breaking away from Beatrice's influence.
• Hypocrite: He hates Jean-Luc and Colette for being unpleasant and materialistic snobs but loves Beatrice despite her being even worse than both of them. Granted, Richard doesn't approve of Beatrice's rotten behavior and has vowed to be much less lenient with her by the end of "Visited".
• Hypocrite Has a Point: Even if his love for Beatrice makes him a hypocrite, his analysis of Jean-Luc and Colette being awful people is spot on.
• I Can Change My Beloved: He feels Beatrice's horrible attitude is partly his fault for being a Henpecked Husband toward her and vows to stop being so submissive in the hopes that he can make her a better person. Nobody else actually believes that'll happen but accept his decision out of respect and the need for someone to keep Beatrice out of their lives.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: He was nicknamed "Colonel Bullseye" in the army. Despite his age, he's still able to effectively use a Fenton blaster on the Forces of Nature.
• Informed Flaw: Star describes her grandfather as picky and a lot like Stella when Danny first met her since he comes from Old Money. However, Richard has been shown from the beginning to be a very warm and open-minded Nice Guy who doesn't care about others' background or financial status, completely unlike his stuck-up wife. It's possible his past history of being an Extreme Doormat Henpecked Husband just led to Star lumping him in with Beatrice.
• Intergenerational Friendship: He seems to develop one with Danny.
• It's All My Fault: He admits his passive attitude only enabled Beatrice’s horrible behavior and strives to make up for it by refusing to continue putting up with her antics and being much more firm with her from now on.
• Jerkass Has a Point: More blunt than jerkass, but he flat-out tells Stella she's delusional for believing Jean-Luc and Colette have any good in them.
• Like a Son to Me: Well, more like grandson but Richard does consider Danny family after witnessing his good character when he protected his granddaughter Star from her violently possessive Abhorrent Admirer, Donovan Loadman, and the ghost bat at the country club. He's fine with Danny calling him "Grandpa" even if he doesn't marry Star.
• Like Parent, Like Child: One thing he has in common with his spoiled daughter Stella is that neither of them will let anyone, including Beatrice, get away with hurting Star since he vehemently refuses to let Beatrice force Star into an Arranged Marriage with her Abhorrent Admirer Donovan Loadman, also he he’s fine with Stella getting a restraining order against his wife and promises to make sure she stays away from Stella’s family.
• Like Parent, Unlike Child: He's a generous and down-to-earth Nice Guy while his daughter Stella is a snobby Brainless Beauty. Downplayed as Stella undergoes Character Development and begins fixing her negative qualities.
• Love Makes You Dumb: Everyone sees this as the reason why he won't leave Beatrice despite everything she's done and believes Stella inherited this quality from him given her refusal to accept that the Beviers are bad people.
• Loving a Shadow: It's clear that at least part of the reason Richard stays with Beatrice is because he hopes that the same woman he fell in love with years ago is still there, not understanding that Beatrice is an irredeemable monster who likely married him only for his money.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: He’s warm, kind, polite, caring, calm, passive, humble, selfless, and generous while his wife Beatrice is cold, cruel, rude, ruthless, temperamental, aggressive, arrogant, selfish, and greedy.
• Must Make Amends: He feels guilty for not spending a lot time with his children when they were growing up, which caused Stella to be negatively influenced by Beatrice, and promises his daughter that he will try harder to be there for them from now on.
• My Greatest Failure: He admits he wishes he spent more time with his children while they were growing up instead of focusing on running his company.
• Nice Guy: He has high-class tastes like his wife but he tries to be personable and respectful to people and even makes an effort to talk down his wife when she starts going over the line.
• Nice to the Waiter: Unlike his wife, he doesn't look down on people of lower social classes and tries to be friendly to everyone.
• No Accounting for Taste: Despite the fact that Beatrice is a Rich Bitch and a total Hate Sink, Richard still loves her at the end of the fic and refuses to divorce her, though he does plan on being more firm with her from now on.
• Old Money: He's from from a wealthy family of oil barons.
• Open-Minded Parent: Unlike the rest of his family, he couldn't care less that Johnathan and Danny are middle-class as he respects them for being good men (unlike rich snobs such as Jean-Luc Bevier and Donovan Loadman) and gladly welcomes them into his family.
• Papa Wolf:
  • He stops being a Henpecked Husband when Donovan hits Star and Beatrice tries to blame Danny for the fight that follows and force Star to apologize for it.
  • He rams Power Surge with a limousine to protect Stella and Star.
• Parents as People: Despite being a Henpecked Husband, he is a very loving father to his children and admits that he wished that he could have spent more time with them when they were younger since he was often away due to working so much, running his family's company.
• Parent-Preferred Suitor: As a stark contrast to Beatrice, Richard admits that he actually likes Johnathan and wishes that Stella never divorced him in the first place; he also admits that he hates Jean-Luc and Colette, viewing them as the biggest mistakes of his daughter's life.
  • Richard also expresses nothing but fondness and approval of Danny, as well as despising Donovan for his horrible treatment of his granddaughter.
• Preppy Name: His full name is Richard Jacob Hockley Traville III.
• Pet the Dog:
  • In “Visited”, Richard proves that he ultimately loves his family more than he fears his overbearing wife since he not only staunchly opposes Beatrice's plan to force Star into a miserable Arranged Marriage with Donovan, but supports Stella’s decision to get restraining orders against both of them for Star’s safety. Finally, he promises to stop tolerating Beatrice's horrible behavior anymore and be much stricter with her after seeing all the damage she was causing.
  • His grandson Pierre is the only Bevier he likes due to being an innocent baby who lacks the negative qualities of his family. As far as Richard's concerned, Pierre is the only good thing that ever came out of Stella's second marriage but he otherwise still wishes she never met Jean-Luc.
  • He thanks Danny for protecting Star from the Ghost Bat and Donovan Loadman, and even gives him his blessing to marry Star one day. Richard goes far as to offer Danny to call him "Grandpa".
• Retired Badass: He was a respected army colonel and is still a good shot, joining the fight against the Forces of Nature.
• Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Comes from one of the richest families in New York and can be almost as naive as his air-headed daughter Stella, given his refusal to accept that his wife Beatrice is Beyond Redemption.
• Shipper on Deck:
  • After seeing Danny defend Star from Donovan and the ghost bat, Richard happily gives Danny his blessing to one day marry her.
  • He reveals to Stella that Johnathan was the only one of her suitors that he actually liked because he was a good man who never gave in to Beatrice.
• Shipping Torpedo:
  • Downplayed as while he respects his daughter enough not to interfere in her life, he makes it clear to Stella that he considers her marriage to the pompous French Jerk Jean-Luc Bevier to be the biggest mistake she ever made and that she was better off with the Nice Guy Johnathan Strong. As far as Richard's concerned, Pierre was the only good thing to ever come out of Stella's second marriage.
  • He opposed Beatrice's decision to set up an Arranged Marriage between Star and Donovan from the start but was too afraid to stop her until he saw Donovan hurt Star. Then, no amount of his wife's nagging was able to keep him from telling everyone the truth about the Loadman brat harassing his granddaughter.
• Spoiled Sweet: Despite hailing from one of the richest families in New York, he's a friendly, generous, and humble man who doesn't judge people by their wealth or status.
• Sympathy for the Devil: Despite Richard being disgusted with his wife's actions during "Visited" and seeing how much Beatrice acted like an Abusive Parent to both their daughter and granddaughter. This includes Beatrice trying to forcefully set their granddaughter Star with Donovan Loadman, a Jerkass who was willing to hit her and take Donovan's side over they are granddaughters' side Star. As well as Beatrice mistreats Danny, Star's ACTUAL boyfriend, due to him being middle-class, going so far as to take Donovan's side when he hits Star and Danny tries to defend Star. And how Beatrice also previously abused their former son-in-law, Johnathan, and refuses to believe that she did anything wrong, Richard still refuses to divorce his wife.
  • Richard admits that he feels some responsibility for Beatrice because he believes that his being a Henpecked Husband is what led her to run wild as she did. He refuses to divorce her because he believes he holds partial responsibility for her actions and has old-fashioned views on marriage. However, he does admit that he pities his wife, noting that for all her talk and obsession over wealth, class, and status, Beatrice never seemed to be truly happy or satisfied with what she had. Even with the many luxuries she had and his giving her anything she asked for, she was rarely happy, and even to this day, she is still not content or happy.
• Token Good Teammate: Downplayed as the Travilles aren't evil with the exception of Beatrice, but he's a very likable man who lacks any of the negative qualities of his snobby Psychopathic Womanchild wife or spoiled children.
• Turned Off By The Jerkass: Downplayed. While he doesn't divorce her, Richard makes it clear that he will no longer tolerate Beatrice's selfish behavior and will be much more firm with her for now on.
• Uncle Pennybags: Unlike his Rich Bitch wife, he is a very friendly man who has no problem with Star dating Danny (who is middle-class) and doesn't use his status to look down on others.
• Useless Bystander Parent: In “Visited”, Stella and Star don’t bother asking him to get Beatrice to call off her Arranged Marriage plan between Star and Donovan since they know how much of a pushover he is with his wife. Deconstructed as Richard admits in the end that his submissiveness toward his wife has caused nothing but disaster for his family since he wasn't able to stop all the damage she was causing them. He strives to fix it by no longer putting up with Beatrice’s awful attitude and spending more quality time with his daughter Stella so she has a positive parental figure in her life that he couldn’t give her growing up because he was always too busy running his company.
• What Does He See in Her?: You have to wonder what was going through his head to make him think marrying Beatrice was a good idea. He claims that she was actually quite nice when they first met though it's unclear if that's true or she was just putting on an act.
• White Sheep: Richard is the first relative of Stella's shown who lacks the snobbishness, entitlement, and elitism of the rest of their family and is a nice guy from the start.
• Women Are Wiser: Gender-Inverted. He is much more mature and rational than his Psychopathic Womanchild wife.

Beatrice Traville

Star's snobbish, elitist and critical maternal grandmother. She makes her debut in "Visited".

Used with permission of the artist

---

• 0% Approval Rating: With the exception of Richard, nobody likes or can stand her, not even her own family. Even before "Visited", Star always hated her grandmother's visits because of her overbearing and critical attitude, to the point that she had nothing nice to say about Beatrice while Johnathan and his family insult her every chance they get. Her servants only tolerate her entitled attitude for the high pay, Donovan is just using her to make Star his, and Colette and Jean-Luc only act nice to Beatrice to stay on her good side in hopes of being included in her and Richard's will. By the end, Star uses a restraining order to get Beatrice out of her life after her grandmother tried to force her into a relationship with a boy she completely hated, Stella slaps her mother twice for her horrendous attitude and cuts Beatrice out of her and her family's lives permanently (and in "Traveled" has arranged for Johnathan to dance on her grave), and Danny becomes so enraged by her callous, selfish behavior that he uses his ghost powers to scare her away from Amity Park.
• Abusive Parents: She's emotionally abusive to Stella, making her unable to say no to her and allow Beatrice to walk all over her. It's implied she treats her other children the same way. This warped Stella's self-esteem and left her with some deep-seated trauma and anger toward her mother that has persisted into adulthood and helped shape her into an air-headed snob.
  • "Traveled" also implies Beatrice cared less about Stella as a person and more as a Trophy Child, since she constantly disregarded what Stella wanted growing up if it didn't fit her image of who her daughter should be.
• Ain't Too Proud to Beg: She's pretty much reduced to begging when dealing with someone who can't be bribed or intimidated into submission like the Ghost Bat and Danny Phantom. None that it helps her in the slightest since they're too angry to care about what she has to say.
• Alas, Poor Villain: Heavily subverted. Everyone just ends up hating her even more after hearing her backstory from Richard because her horrible actions and toxic behavior are THAT unforgivable.
• Allegorical Character: She represents all the worst stereotypes associated with rich people by being an elitist snob who doesn't care about anything but herself and her classist views.
• All Take and No Give: She is best described as a "parasite who bleeds others dry".
• Ambitious, but Lazy:
  • She wants Star to have a Blue Blood husband but would rather settle for Donovan Loadman because he’s the first “gentleman” she can find who agrees with her views than look for a suitor that’s actually compatible with her granddaughter.
  • She desperately wants to keep her family wealthy to avoid poverty, but would much rather marry into wealth than actually earn a living. Likewise, she doesn't care of her daughter or granddaughter's ambitions outside of their family name and dismisses Star's artistry.
• Anti-Role Model: She is NOT someone whom you should emulate.
• Arbitrary Skepticism: She refuses to believe in ghosts, even after a giant bat monster attacks the country club. It takes pissing off Danny Phantom to make her do a 180.
• Arch-Enemy: She becomes this to Star after "Visited" because Star hates her grandmother the most for all the trouble Beatrice caused her and her loved ones.
• Aristocrats Are Evil: She's more asocial and uncaring than outright evil, but her willingness to set Star up with someone who she despises and is willing to physically hurt her, while also showing more concern for him than Star, makes it clear she's not an ideal grandmother.
• Arranged Marriage: Deconstructed as she was made to marry Richard Traville to keep her bankrupt noble family from ending up in poverty and resents it no matter how much of a Perfectly Arranged Marriage it was. Hypocritically, she tries to do the same thing to her own granddaughter Star by forcing her into an abusive relationship with her most obnoxious Abhorrent Admirer, Donovan Loadman, because he meets her elitist standards by being a Blue Blood, while not caring about how much Star hates Toadman, is already in a happy relationship with Danny, or how much of a violent brat Toadman is towards her. This only earns Beatrice the undying hatred of Star and Stella, who cut her out of their lives with a restraining order to get away from her toxic influence, and makes her dangerous enemies of Team Phantom and her loved ones, who have no problem getting back at her for everything she put them through.
• Asshole Victim: Whenever things go wrong for her, it's because she completely deserves it. The ghost bat humiliates her at the country club, Star and Stella get a restraining order against her, Danny scares her into leaving Amity Park forever, and her plan to use a mystical box to capture Danny Phantom completely fails and leads to Puck punishing her by forcing her to live out her greatest fear of being poor for a whole month, courtesy of Soul Shredder.
• Authority in Name Only: Her husband Richard is the real head of the family, and he plans to remind everyone of this after “Visited” since he’s finally outgrown being a Henpecked Husband after realizing that Beatrice’s out of control behavior is ruining their descendants' lives.
• Bad Boss: She rules over the Traville estate with an iron fist and her servants are terrified of her due to her explosive temper and tendency to fire people over the most trivial things.
• Barefoot Poverty: It's noted in Chapter 12 of "Entranced" that Beatrice's Puck-imposed poverty reached a level where she no longer has shoes.
• "Begone" Bribe: Twice and both failed:
  • When Star was eight, Beatrice offered to pay Johnathan a million dollars to leave Stella. Naturally, he refused.
  • In "Visited", she offers an enraged Danny Phantom $5 million, a new house, and a new car if he leaves her alone and breaks up with Star. It doesn't work and just makes him angrier.
• Being Evil Sucks: To say her classism and callous selfishness have only made her life worse is an understatement. Her whole family (except for Richard) doesn't want anything to do with her after getting fed up with her Control Freak nature, she’s stuck living as a shut-in after she pushes Danny too far that he uses her powers to scare her into leaving Star alone forever, and Team Phantom hate her so much they get Puck to torment her on a regular basis as payback.
• Beyond Redemption: After telling Danny she's willing to separate him from his family if it means keeping him away from Star, he decides Beatrice is incapable of seeing the error of her ways and decides to show her how she's made an enemy she can't handle.
• Big Bad: While Vlad does appear in the story, SHE is the main antagonist and obstacle in "Visited".
• Big Bad Wannabe: She fancies herself a brilliant schemer and unstoppable because of her money and status but once she loses control of a situation, she proves to be no threat, nor is she half as smart as she thinks she is.
• Birds of a Feather: She gets along well with Jean-Luc and Colette, who are arrogant aristocrats too. In fact, both Johnathan and Danny point out that Beatrice and Colette are so alike in their horrible personalities, it's a surprise they're not blood-related.
• Black-and-White Insanity: To Beatrice, you are either a servant to blindly follow her without question or a tool to be used to her advantage, and if you fail to be either, you are an enemy she needs to crush.
• Black Sheep: She becomes this to her family after “Visited” when they finally grow tired of her overbearing Rich Bitch personality. Richard is the only one who is willing to stand her presence but even he has lost his tolerance for her attitude. Star utterly despises Beatrice for being a sociopathic Control Freak so she considers Joy Strong her only grandma, Stella gets a restraining order against her mother after accepting she’s a toxic influence her family is better off without, and even her favorite child Liam cuts ties after threatening her to stay away from him due to Beatrice constantly pestering him into helping her get out of the mess she made.
• Boisterous Weakling: She loves to act like her wealth makes her untouchable but put her in a situation that can't be solved by money or yelling and she shows how much of a pathetic Dirty Coward she is.
• Born in the Wrong Century: Team Phantom and Star's parents feel that she's living in the Dark Ages for acting like it's okay to force her teenaged granddaughter into an unwanted Arranged Marriage with Donovan Loadman just because he's rich.
• Break the Haughty: At the start, Beatrice is an arrogant woman who lets nothing stop her from getting what she wants. After one encounter with a pissed off Danny Phantom, she's become a Nervous Wreck who makes sure she stays out of people's lives, living in paranoia that she could risk her life angering him again.
• Bribe Backfire: Twice in "Visited":
  • At the country club, she tries and fails to save herself from the ghost bat by telling it to eat Danny instead and even offering to pay the ghost.
  • She tries to offer an angry Danny Phantom $5 million, a new house, and a new car if he leaves her alone and dumps Star. Predictably, it just makes him angrier.
• Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Gender-Inverted. She’s a bitter and temperamental Psychopathic Womanchild while her husband Richard is a pleasant and kind Uncle Pennybags.
• The Bully: She loves to throw her weight around and bully everyone near her but when her money and status fail to save her, like when dealing with the ghost bat and Danny Phantom, it's obvious she's full of nothing but empty bravado that she can't back up.
• Bullying a Dragon: When she spitefully tells Danny that she's planning to have child services separate him from his family as payback for getting in her way, he snaps and uses his ghost powers to leave her too traumatized to ever return to Amity Park.
• Canon Foreigner: It’s likely Star has a maternal grandmother in canon, though she was never shown or mentioned.
• Can't Take Criticism: She never wants to hear when she’s wrong or if her ideas are bad as Johnathan knows, since he remembers the violent tantrum Beatrice threw where she flung a vase at him when he told her how awful her screenplay of her life was.
• Control Freak: She is possibly an even bigger one than Vlad and Colette. It's especially apparent with Stella, as Beatrice micromanaged her life and would criticize everything she did. She went a step further with Star, wanting to take control of her granddaughter's entire future.
• The Corrupter: Her abusive, toxic parenting is why Stella became a spoiled socialite and neglectful mother.
• Corrupted Character Copy: She is this to Victoria Everglot from Corpse Bride, as they're both from impoverished noble families who were arranged to marry a wealthy, yet kind bachelor out of financial desperation. However, Victoria was a sweet and kind lady who genuinely fell in love with her fiancé Victor after getting to know him, whereas Beatrice was a Spoiled Brat, Gold Digger, and Social Climber who only married Richard for his money and treated him terribly.
• Dark and Troubled Past: A rare case where a person's tragic past actually makes them LESS sympathetic. Star points out that despite everything working out for Beatrice in the end, with her getting a loving husband and lavish lifestyle which saved her and her family from ending up on the streets, she still chooses to be a horrible person and thus is completely undeserving of anything but utter scorn for her naturally toxic personality.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype:
  • Of My Beloved Smother and Gruesome Grandparent. Her controlling and overbearing nature has severely strained and eventually destroyed her relationship with her own children; her daughter Stella completely cuts ties with Beatrice in "Visited" after accepting what a horrible person she is and even her favorite child Liam doesn't want anything to do with his mother after she kept badgering him to help her get out of the mess she got herself into with Stella. Her flat-out abusive treatment of her granddaughter Star forces the latter and her parents to get a restraining order against Beatrice just to keep her away.
  • Of the Impoverished Patrician and Rich Bitch. Coming from a bankrupt noble family has left her with a deep-seated fear of being poor and was a factor in her obsession with money and status, causing her to put more value on reputation and privilege than her own family.
• Delusions of Beauty: Graceful aging and Perpetual Frowning aside, she's firmly convinced that she's still young and beautiful. Puck asks her if she even owns a mirror.
• Detrimental Determination: She cannot take “no” for an answer. When she makes it clear to Danny that she’s still going to try to force Star into an Arranged Marriage with a wealthy suitor and ruin the lives of his loved ones out of petty for getting in her way, he gives up on trying to reason with her and just uses his ghost powers to scare Beatrice into staying away from Star, their families, and Amity Park forever. Still not learning her lesson from “Visited”, she tries again in “Traveled” to put her family under her thumb by purchasing a magic box to imprison Danny, but instead releases three evil ghosts trapped inside who proceed to wreak havoc New York. Team Phantom is furious when they find out so with Puck’s help, Danny punishes her by using Soul Shredder to force her live out her worst fear of being poor for a whole month.
• Dirty Coward: She tries to save herself from the ghost bat first by running for her life, willing to leave her family behind, then tells it to take Danny instead of her and Star, proclaiming him to be useless for anything else and even offering to pay the ghost, but this all falls on deaf ears as the ghost bat attacks her anyway. Danny, of course, doesn't appreciate this and gets payback by refusing to save her.
• Disowned Parent: At the end of Visited, she is cut out of Stella and Star's lives due to her horrible actions.
• Disproportionate Retribution: Pretty much her MO. She is known for vicious retaliation against the slightest offence against her. The biggest example in the story is threatening to separate Danny from his family just to get him out of Star's life. Not that it ends well for her.
• Domestic Abuser: While she tried being a good wife to Richard in the beginning, years of obsessing over wealth and status have turned her into a bitter, domineering Control Freak that emotionally abuses him whenever he displeases her. Somewhat downplayed after her encounter with Danny Phantom left her too traumatized to act like her usual haughty self.
• The Dreaded: She is this to her family and their friends, especially Star and Johnathan, because of her obnoxious, overbearing, judgmental, and critical attitude. Even before the series started, Star had little love for her maternal grandmother and never looked forward to her visits because of Beatrice's tendency to criticize every aspect of her life. While describing her to Danny, Star doesn't have a single nice thing to say about her grandmother and outright calls her an elitist snob. Johnathan and Beatrice have hated each other since they first met and were glad that Stella divorcing him meant they'd never have to see each other again.
• Empty Shell: By the end of "Visited", Beatrice has become a timid wreck and shut-in who ives in fear of Danny's return.
• Entitled Bitch: Her personality in a nutshell. She expects everyone to meet her needs but refuses to do the same in return.
• Establishing Character Moment: Instead of warmly embracing Star as her husband and Stella did, Beatrice's first reaction is to criticize her granddaughter's clothes and expect her to be more proper, as well as display a distaste for the environment. Already, her rudeness and spoiled attitude are apparent to readers.
• Even Evil Can Be Loved: Played With. Despite her atrocious actions, Richard still loves her and refuses to get a divorce in the hopes that she can change her ways. However, nobody else believes this and just writes her off as a lost cause that they're better off without in their lives.
• Every Man Has His Price: She seems to think so.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good:
  • It never occurred to her that Richard and Stella would oppose her plan to force Star into being Donovan Loadman’s Trophy Wife because they love Star more than they fear her.
  • She's actually surprised and outraged that Star and Stella would side with Danny instead of her during their final confrontation in "Visited". It apparently never crossed her mind that all her heinous actions throughout the story (and over the decades) gave them every reason to hate her guts. Beatrice continues to delude herself that everything she did was for her family and Stella and Star are ungrateful for disowning her, when she actually treated them like puppets and they're refusing to put up with it anymore.
  • She also thought she could ruin Star and Danny's relationship by trying to sabotage it with Donovan's help, but it utterly fails and even if it did succeed, Star still wouldn't have anything to do with Donovan because she hates the pampered creep too much. She even resorts to trying to bribe an angry Danny Phantom into breaking up with Star but it just enrages him further. It never clicks in Beatrice's head that a couple truly in love would have higher priorities than money and petty grudges.
• Evil Counterpart:
  • She's basically an older, uglier, grumpier, angrier, crueler, snobbier, and less mature version of her daughter Stella.
  • She's this to Ida Manson since both women married into rich families, don't approve of their child's first spouse, and have a strained relationship with their children but otherwise are as different as night and day, which Pamela Manson lampshades when telling Donovan Loadman not to waste time trying to convince Ida to force Sam into an Arranged Marriage with him like Beatrice once tried to force Star. Ida is a Cool Old Lady who gets along great with Team Phantom, loves her family, encourages her granddaughter Sam to embrace her individuality, and was Happily Married to her deceased husband Mordecai. Beatrice is an Evil Old Folk who is bitter enemies with Team Phantom, treats her family like tools that only benefit her, wants to turn her granddaughter into her idea of a Proper Lady regardless of Star's personal feelings, and largely married Richard for his wealth.
• Evil Is Not a Toy: In "Traveled," she buys an ancient magic box, the Băowēn xiāng, in the hopes of using it to trap Danny, but instead she accidentally frees three evil ghosts that were sealed inside.
• Evil Is Petty: She was willing to use her connections to have social services take Danny away from his parents if he even tried to get in her way of controlling Star's life.
• Evil Matriarch: While her husband is technically the head of the family, Beatrice is the dominating one. She runs their estate with an iron fist and is not above using her descendants in order to move ahead in high society.
• Evil Old Folks: Beatrice is a Rich Bitch and spends the entire story becoming almost Hated by All. She reaches her lowest point when, even after Stella and Star say that they are cutting ties with her and plan to issue a restraining order against her, she goes on a mental rampage and declares to Danny (who came to talk to her) that she plans to pay to get the order lifted by bribing the court system in her favor and buy out Johnathan's workplace to fire him, as well as blackmail him into handing over custody of Star, whom she STILL plans to turn into her idea of a Proper Lady and arrange to marry either Donovan or another man that meets her ludicrously high standards. She also threatened to get child services to separate Danny from his family if he tries to stop her. It's at that point Danny declares he's done playing nice and shows her what happens when you push someone too far.
• Eviler than Thou:
  • Is about the only person Star hates even more than Colette, which is really saying something.
  • Even Vlad can't stand this bitter old cow.
• Expy: She's based visually on Lady Tremaine from Disney's Cinderella.
• Fantasy-Forbidding Mother: It is heavily implied that she was this to Stella during her youth.
• Fatal Flaw:
  • Her greed, classism, elitism and obsession with Social Climbing have caused her to value wealth and status over everything, including her own family, due to her deep fear of becoming poor. This destroys her relationship with her family when they realize she only regards them as tools for her own benefit and refuse to tolerate it any longer. Wealth and status are all that are important to Beatrice, which leads her to grossly overestimate herself and underestimate anyone she sees as beneath her, causing her to make dangerous enemies of Team Phantom and Star’s loved ones as they have no problem retaliating when she goes too far with her selfishness and snobbishness. Star’s parents get a restraining order against her to keep her away from their daughter, Danny uses his ghost powers to traumatize her into staying out of Amity Park forever, and Star makes her Puck’s new favorite pranking victim.
  • Pride. She believes that being born a blue blood makes her superior to others. Even among other wealthy people and her own family, she has an arrogant and prideful disposition. Her refusal to back down no matter how angry her family or others get when she's crossed the line only results in her facing more humiliation and trauma.
• Fat Bitch: She is stated to be "plump" and is a complete Hate Sink.
• Female Misogynist: She disapproves of Stella helping fend off a ghost attack because it's "unladylike" to fight. "Traveled" further reveals Beatrice only let her daughter partake in traditionally feminine, upper-class activities and believed it was beneath women of their standing to even play sports (e.g. soccer).
• Foil: To her daughter Stella. Both women are obnoxious because of their wealth and elitist in how they look down on others who don't meet their standards. But they differ in how these views manifest. Stella is Innocently Insensitive and genuinely doesn't realize how disparaging her behavior really is to others, eventually starting to change her ways after she got a wake-up call. Beatrice is fully aware how she comes across to others and simply doesn't care, believing that her higher status puts her above everybody else.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: The main characters, and especially Star and Danny, don't hate her any less after Richard tells them her backstory, where he married Beatrice when her family was facing bankruptcy and needed her to find a well-off husband to preserve their wealth, because of her utterly awful personality. If anything, this just makes Star and Danny hate Beatrice even more due to her using the same practice on her descendants while not caring they might go through what she did and threatening to take away all Richard's money despite him being the one who saved her family from falling into poverty in the first place. Our favorite couple comes to the conclusion Beatrice is just pure evil and make it clear that her sob story doesn't excuse or justify the terrible person she became. Star warns Beatrice she'll be in big trouble if she tells anyone Danny's secret or tries to meddle in their lives again before permanently cutting ties with her.
• The Ghost: She has yet to appear in the series. She makes her debut in "Visited".
• Gold Digger: She largely married Richard for his wealth.
• Gone Horribly Wrong: Her plan to use a magic box to trap Danny in "Traveled" fails because she accidentally frees more ghosts, the Forces of Nature, who later destroy the box.
• Good Old Ways: Deconstructed as she has extremely outdated ideas of how people should behave, notably with Arranged Marriages and Nobility Marries Money, that lead her to ruin her relationship with her family, who don't appreciate her trying to force her antiquated beliefs on them.
• Grande Dame: Star describes her as one.
• Greed: All that matters to her is money and status.
• Gruesome Grandparent: She's even more controlling and disparaging with Star than she is with her daughter Stella, since she has no problem trying to force Star into an Arranged Marriage with Donovan Loadman simply because he meets her standards by being from a respected, Old Money family.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: She has an explosive temper and it doesn't take much to set it off.
• Hate Sink: She's a controlling and emotionally abusive mother to her adult daughter, extremely elitist and has a lack of interest in the well-being of others, including her granddaughter. She's never given a positive element.
• Hated by All: Nobody but Richard likes her because of how much of a domineering Control Freak and insufferable elitist snob she is. Johnathan, his family, Richard's family, Eleanor, the Fentons, Team Phantom, Georgia, and Beatrice's servants all hate her because of her nasty, entitled attitude. The Beviers and Donovan only suck up to her out of self-interest, wanting her to convince Stella to leave Amity Park and claiming Star's hand in marriage respectively. By the end of "Visited", Star and Stella have decided to disown and slap her with a restraining order after she showed just how little she cared about Star. Even her "favorite child", Liam, refused to participate in her vendetta against Danny. After she puts more physical distance between herself and her family in "Traveled", they are all relieved; Stella is glad to spend quality time with her father without her mother's presence looming over them while Liam and his wife are happy to no longer have anything to do with Beatrice, even threatening to issue a cease and desist if she doesn't stop calling them.
• Horrible Judge of Character: You're this if you think Donovan Loadman is a good choice to pair your granddaughter with.
• Hot-Blooded: Beatrice is always quick to resort to shouting. She is always in a foul mood and it takes very little to get on her bad side.
• How the Mighty Have Fallen: Her experience with a ticked off Danny Phantom has transformed her into a paranoid mess that's so terrified of ghosts and spirits, she has her servants put salt and blood blossoms around her manor to keep them away.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: She’s a controlling, emotionally abusive mother and grandmother, Domestic Abuser, and classist snob of the highest caliber. She’s even referred to as a narcissistic sociopath by her own granddaughter Star, and rightly so. It really says something that Star hates her more than she ever did Colette, who’s been tormenting her since they were both kids.
• Hypocrite: According to Beatrice Traville's bio, her obsession with money and status is partly because when she was just 18, she was pushed into an Arranged Marriage that she did not want to be in in order to restore her family fortune. Having been, in her mind, sold off to the Traville family made her bitter and determined not to let that happen again. This makes her desire to marry off her granddaughter Star to someone like Donovan Loadman completely hypocritical.
  • For one thing, there is no need to do so because Beatrice's family is now more than financially secure. It's also implied that while Beatrice encouraged (and even pressured) her children to only marry Blue Bloods, she had never forced a relationship before.
  • For another, Beatrice at least had a number of suitors she could choose from in her situation. However, she dictates who Star should marry, regardless of her feelings on the matter, without at least seeing if there's someone else who her granddaughter would be more of a match to.
  • Finally, Beatrice chose to marry Richard and at least tried to be a good wife to him in the beginning of their marriage, indicating she did have real feelings for him. Meanwhile, she is trying to ensure Star settles down with someone she clearly hates; even when Beatrice's preferred suitor Donovan hit her granddaughter, she refuses to admit that she was wrong and takes his side, as she cannot stand Star's actual boyfriend, Danny Fenton, for being middle-class and didn't want to take his side even for defending Star. Beatrice shows what a selfish and despicable hypocrite she is by trying set up an outright abusive marriage for her granddaughter with someone who does not love her at all, whereas Beatrice still had options in her arranged marriage and got a good husband that genuinely loved and treated her well.
• I Did What I Had to Do: In her final confrontation with Star and Danny in "Visited", she tries to justify all her horrible actions by claiming she was just trying to secure her family's financial future. However, they're having none of that and point out Beatrice was driven only by her greed and classism because she has no problem abusing others and ruining lives to avoid her deep-seated fear of being poor.
• Impoverished Patrician: This is what Beatrice feared being. While her family had a "good name" and were even descendants of a count, they began to run low on money during her teen years and she was eventually married off to the Traville family in order to save them from bankruptcy.
• Informed Kindness: Richard claims that Beatrice was more kind and loving when they first met, but it doesn't matter to everyone whether any kindness she had was real or fake because it's clear that it's been completely gone for decades now.
• Insane Troll Logic: Deludes herself into thinking she can put her family under her thumb again by imprisoning Danny. Not only does this idea fail, but wouldn't have succeeded anyway because Star would've still had a restraining order against her and Beatrice's family hates her for her horrible actions toward Star. If anything, her plan would've just magnified their hatred and motivated them to free Danny (whose friends and family have a lot more experience with ghosts).
• Insult Backfire: In "Visited", she says Danny is just like Johnathan. Star, however, takes it as a compliment and remarks that it's the nicest thing Beatrice has ever said about either of them.
• It's All About Me: Basically sums up her personality entirely. She has a very bad case of only caring about herself and how others make her look, and is determined to get what she wants regardless of who she has to step on to get it.
• I Was Quite a Looker: She is an old hag now, but Richard claims she was much more beautiful in her youth.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: She claims that she wants to ensure Star has a good future in high society by pairing her with a rich husband like Donovan Loadman, but as pointed out by everyone, mainly Danny, Star, and Star's parents, Beatrice is only doing this to benefit herself as a means of acquiring more wealth and connections; the fact she doesn't care about Star's consent, that she is already in a happy relationship with Danny, hates Loadman with every fiber of her being, or that Loadman is a violent Spoiled Brat willing to hurt Star if she goes against him, proves their point that Beatrice doesn't care about her granddaughter as anything other than a tool to advance her own position in high society.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: Beatrice spent all of Stella's life and most of "Visited" getting away with being a Hate Sink, Rich Bitch, abusive mother & grandmother, and all-around despicable excuse for a human being. Near the end of the story, she finally pays the price for this: she's humiliated by a ghost bat, loses control of her family when Star and Stella stand up to her and permanently cut her out of their lives with a restraining order, turned into a paranoid wreck after being terrified by a pissed off Danny Phantom, and made into Puck's new favorite pranking victim by Star.
• Knight of Cerebus: Unlike everyone else in the series, NOTHING about her is really played for laughs. She does have a few moments that could be considered amusing, but they also further drive home just what a heartless bitch she is.
• Laughably Evil: Downplayed. She has some moments of humor thanks to her immaturity and cowardice, but she's still an irredeemable harpy.
• Lack of Empathy: She's more concerned that Star hit the boy Beatrice is setting her up with than the fact that Donovan backhanded Star and tried to forcefully kiss her.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Puck punishes her for her reckless actions regarding the Forces of Natures' box by trapping her in her worst fear of being poor for an entire month.
• Last Disrespects: Stella arranged for Johnathan to dance on Beatrice's grave to celebrate her death. He, Star, and Danny are happy to do so.
• Like Mother, Unlike Daughter: While both could be spoiled and snobbish, Beatrice is a cold-hearted Rich Bitch Control Freak who doesn't care about her family as anything but tools in high society for her own ends, while Stella is at her worst Innocently Insensitive but genuinely loves her family even if she's not the best parent, and is trying to become a better person.
• The Load: Stella admits her mother has always been useless in situations that can't be solved with yelling or bribes since her first instinct is to run away and hide like a frightened child.
• Manipulative Bitch: Subverted. She tries to ruin Star and Danny's relationship in "Visited" with Donovan Loadman's help but it fails because they severely underestimate the strength of the couple's bond and their plan was poorly thought out from the beginning.
• Mask of Sanity: She's WAY more unstable than her cold and haughty demeanor would indicate, as she's quick to throw a violent temper tantrum whenever she's denied what she wants.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: She’s cold, cruel, rude, ruthless, temperamental, aggressive, arrogant, selfish, and greedy while her husband Richard is warm, kind, polite, caring, calm, passive, humble, selfless, and generous.
• Matchmaker Failure: She tries to set Star up with Donovan of all people. Needless to say, it does not end well.
• Money Is Not Power: She learns this the hard way when Danny and the ghost bat show her you can't bribe your way out of trouble with someone who's too angry to care about money.
• Moral Myopia:
  • She always demands respect but refuses to show any to people she considers beneath her elitist standards.
  • She expects others to meet her needs but stubbornly refuses to do the same.
  • Johnathan points out that for all her preaching about wanting to restore her family’s name, she’s nothing but horrible to her own relatives, showing she only cares about their reputation rather than the people.
  • She’s outraged that Star and Stella would turn against her but ignores that she spent years treating them like dirt and they’re rightly sick of it.
  • She resents having been set up in an Arranged Marriage with Richard Traville to save her family from poverty but sees nothing wrong with trying to force her granddaughter Star into dating and eventually marrying Donovan Loadman just because he's a Blue Blood that comes from Old Money, purely for her own benefit to gain more wealth, status, prestige, and connections. Her sheer unapologetic hypocrisy only makes everyone, especially Star and Danny, hate her even more.
• More Hateable Minor Villain: She's no physical threat to Team Phantom and is overshadowed by both Vlad and his ghost bat in her debut during "Visited", but she stands out as a Dirty Coward elitist bitch and Abusive Mom to her daughter Stella as well as a Gruesome Grandparent to Star. She bullies Stella into obeying her through verbal and emotional abuse, and tries to force Star into an Arranged Marriage with her most hated wannabe-suitor, Donovan Loadman, just for her own personal benefit regardless of Star's feelings and genuinely happy relationship with Danny, or the fact that Donovan is willing to hit her for opposing him. Beatrice's utter lack of positive traits makes us cheer when Star cuts her grandmother out of her life with a restraining order, and Danny scares her into leaving Amity Park forever after she spent all of "Visited" treating them and their loved ones like dirt.
• My Beloved Smother: A parent and grandparent variety, as she is very controlling and stifling towards both Stella and Star. She dismisses Star's refusal to marry Donovan as her granddaughter not knowing any better and still treats Stella as little more than a naive child in "Visited"—whenever her daughter tries to protest against or reason with her, Beatrice simply raises a hand to silence her or tells her "Mummy is talking".
• Narcissist: Sees herself as above the rules and has a complete lack of any empathy or remorse for the pain she causes; she abuses her wealth, treats "lower-class" as only good for serving her, and is determined to have her family live by her standards alone so they'll reflect well on her.
• Never a Self-Made Woman: Star and Danny mock her for this by pointing out Beatrice never would've gotten where she is today if it weren't for Richard taking pity on her.
• Neverending Terror: As a nod to the Batman: The Animated Series episode "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?", after having been scared out of her wits by Danny Phantom, Beatrice agrees to stay out of Star's life and leave Amity Park for good. At the end of the story, the formerly arrogant Grande Dame has installed various locks, a greenhouse for blood blossoms, and pours salt around the manor (which has been historically used to ward off ghosts and demons) while finding herself too terrified to sleep out of fear Phantom will return for her.
• Never My Fault: She completely refuses to accept that it was her own reprehensible actions that made Star and Stella hate her and blames everything on Danny by believing he corrupted her family so they'd turn against her.
• Nobility Marries Money: Beatrice's family was descended from a count but was going through financial problems, so they married her off to Richard when she was 18. Now, she wants to do the same thing to Star with Donovan, but Star vehemently rejects this idea.
• No Love for the Wicked: It’s unknown if she ever truly loved Richard since she was always an elitist Spoiled Brat who clearly married him for his wealth. In the beginning, she apparently did care enough about him to try to be a good wife (in her own way). However, years of obsessing over wealth, prestige, and status have turned her into the bitter old Rich Bitch she is now and whatever feelings she had for Richard are long gone now since she barely pays him any real, let alone positive attention and only seems to regard him as her personal attendant at best. At worst, she verbally abuses him whenever he displeases her, as well as threatening to take all his money in a divorce. She doesn’t treat the rest of her family any better as she emotionally and psychologically abused Stella for years to make her blindly obedient and tries to plan Star’s entire life for her without any regard for her opinion or feelings.
• Non-Action Big Bad: She's no physical threat to Danny and relies on her money to get her out of problems.
• Not Now, Kiddo: Her typical way of shutting Stella up is "Not now, Stella. Mummy is talking."
• No Sympathy: A victim of this. Nobody in Team Phantom or any of their family and allies feel the slightest bit sorry for Beatrice when Richard tells them she was pushed into an Arranged Marriage to help out her Impoverished Patrician family. As Star points out, it doesn't excuse or justify the horrible person she's chosen to become and if anything, it just makes them realize Beatrice is even worse than they thought for trying to force her granddaughter into a similar situation purely for her own benefit and threatening to leave her husband penniless in a divorce despite him saving her family from poverty.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: She tries to justify her heinous actions by claiming they're meant to give her family a good future. However, nobody buys it as they point out it doesn't excuse her horrible treatment of others and she's only interested in securing her own social standing to avoid her greatest fear of becoming an Impoverished Patrician.
• Old Money: Money that isn't even hers, yet she doesn't mind using it.
• Obnoxious Entitled Housewife: She seems to be even worse than Stella used to be.
• Obnoxious In-Laws:
  • It's stated that she and Johnathan did not get along when the latter was married to Stella. "Visited" even shows Beatrice verbally abused him whenever he was in the vicinity.
  • Richard also reveals in "Traveled" that she never got along with his sister, Simone.
• Paper Tiger: She's a smug, Entitled Bitch who hides behind her wealth and status but as soon as she encounters someone who can't be bought or bullied into submission, she proves herself to be a pathetic coward that's all bark and no bite.
• Parental Favoritism:
  • "Traveled" reveals she considers her only son Liam her favorite child.
  • Ironically, Beatrice seems to get along much better with Jean-Luc than she does with her own daughter Stella.
• Parents Suck at Matchmaking: She tried to set up her granddaughter Star in an Arranged Marriage to Donovan Loadman, her Abhorrent Admirer and a Rich Bastard who only sees her as a trophy. This is despite the fact that Beatrice knows that Star is already dating Danny and utterly hates Donovan.
• Perpetual Frowner: She rarely seems to smile or be in a good mood.
• Playing the Victim Card: She's too narcissistic and immature to grasp that she made her family hate her by being a Rich Bitch Control Freak and just deluded herself into thinking they're being ungrateful.
• Privilege Makes You Evil: She's been spoiled rotten her whole life and is so vile that Team Phantom only consider Dark Danny worse than her.
• Psychopathic Womanchild: Having been waited on hand and foot her entire life, she is extremely spoiled and entitled, and expects everyone to bend over to her whims. It's to the point that she is less of a snobby rich woman and more of a hypocritical sociopath with the temper and emotional maturity of a Spoiled Brat, who is willing to work around the law and ruin people's lives in order to get what she wants.
• Polite Villains, Rude Heroes: Inverted. She's the rude, spoiled, and demanding Villain to Danny's polite, humble, and understanding Hero.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: She looks down on middle and working-class individuals, referring to them as "peasants" or "riff-raffs". "Entranced" also notes that she despises charity and believes it will only encourage these people to seek "handouts".
• Preppy Name: Her full name is Beatrice Margaux Gloria Richelieu-Traville.
• The Proud Elite: She is very proud of her wealth and status, and holds nothing but contempt for those of a lower class, such as the Fentons and Johnathan.
• Racist Grandma: Well, "classist" is more accurate, but she has a deep hatred of non-rich folks.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to her husband Richard's Blue, being the more impatient and quick to anger of the two.
• Rich Bitch: And how!
• Riches to Rags: Narrowly averted during her teen years when her family was low on money so it led to them marrying her off to Richard. Since then, Beatrice does everything she can to avoid this trope.
  • She does become this in "Traveled" when Puck forces her to live out her greatest fear of being poor for a month using Soul Shredder as punishment for her actions involving the Forces of Nature.
• Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: She basically goes around doing whatever she wants with no thought of the consequences, and thinks forcing her granddaughter into an unwanted Arranged Marriage is perfectly rational.
• The Rich Want to Be Richer: Despite already being very wealthy, she is eager for her children and grandchildren to marry affluent partners. The main reason she wanted to set Star up with Donovan is because he is a Blue Blood.
• Sanity Slippage: Not exactly the most stable person to begin with but her experiences with ghosts, like the ghost bat and Danny, have left her a paranoid wreck who makes her servants put blood blossoms and salt around her home in case Danny ever makes good on his threat to her.
• Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Her answer for everything.
• Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!: She's an ill-tempered and irritable old hag with no respect for anyone who doesn't meet her ridiculously high standards.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After accidentally unleashing the Forces of Nature and getting further traumatized by them, she decides to move all the way to Switzerland in a bid to get away from any ghost, even if it means living by herself.
• Seven Deadly Sins: She has demonstrated all of the seven deadly sins in just her first appearance:
  • Envy: It's implied Beatrice can’t stand that she was forced into an Arranged Marriage just to save her impoverished noble family but Star can choose to Marry for Love by going out with Danny.
  • Gluttony: She’s a Fat Bitch obsessed with eating gourmet food, but she also has a hunger for the finer aspects of life like the latest fashions and expensive jewelry.
  • Greed: She’s very materialistic and demanding towards everyone around her. She tries to force Star to marry Donovan Loadman just because he comes from Old Money.
  • Lust: A non-romantic variant as she is fixated on getting what she wants and won’t let anyone stop her.
  • Pride: She comes from a noble family and raised her daughter Stella to believe she’s more important than the “commoners”.
  • Sloth: She’s a socialite who’s never worked a day in her life and just lives off her husband's fortune.
  • Wrath: She’s a Spoiled Brat and Control Freak with a Hair-Trigger Temper that flies off the handle whenever things don’t go her way.
• Shabby Heroes, Well-Dressed Villains: She's a Hate Sink Rich Bitch who only wears the finest fabrics while Team Phantom are comfortable with common clothing.
• Shallow Cannot Comprehend True Love: Money, status, and connections are all that matter to her so she's incapable of grasping why Stella ever married the middle-class Johnathan Strong or how strong Danny and Star's bond is, and that trying to set her granddaughter up with Donovan of all people is a stupid idea.
• Shipper with an Agenda:
  • She approves of her youngest daughter Genevieve's fiancé because he is a successful neurosurgeon who's also descended from a British lord, which will further elevate her family's pedigree.
  • She plans to make sure Star marries Donovan once they're of legal age to ensure her family's status, not caring one bit that not only is Star already in a relationship, she hates Donovan, who is willing to hurt her to get what he wants.
• Shipping Torpedo:
  • She strongly opposes Star's relationship with Danny, due to thinking he is beneath her.
  • She was also against Stella's marriage to Johnathan and was happy when they got divorced.
• Silly Rabbit, Romance Is for Kids!: She doesn't care in the slightest that Star loves Danny and hates Donovan because all that matters to her making sure her granddaughter marries into a Blue Blood family. She's outraged at Star declaring she will only Marry for Love.
• Skewed Priorities:
  • Played for Drama. Beatrice Traville wanted to set up her granddaughter Star with Donovan Loadman because he's from an Old Money family like her. She spent the entire time at dinner insulting Danny (Star's boyfriend) and Johnathan (her former son-in-law) because they were middle-class. When Danny got into a fight with Donovan because the latter tried to kiss and hit Star, Beatrice took Donovan's side and demanded that Star apologize to him and Danny be kicked out of the club, caring more about her plan than her granddaughter's well-being. Beatrice's husband Richard, daughter Stella, and even Donovan's father Reginald took Danny's side, and were outraged about her lack of concern for Star.
  • When Stella grabs a weapon to fight the ghost bat, her mother is more concerned that she's setting a bad example for Star by being unladylike.
• Slobs Versus Snobs: She's a spoiled and entitled socialite from a noble family who's bitter enemies with the hard-working and modest middle-class Johnathan Strong, the Fentons, and Team Phantom (Sam is also rich but much nicer and more levelheaded).
• Small Name, Big Ego: She believes marrying into the Traville family makes her untouchable because of the money and status it brings, but it does nothing to stop Danny, Puck, and a ghost bat from humiliating her if they feel like it since her wealth and name mean squat to them.
• Smug Snake: Acts full of herself when she feels in control of a situation but crumples like paper when she finds herself in over her head. Stella lampshades this in "Traveled" to Joy Strong by noting that while Beatrice was always good at yelling and trying to take control, she'd run away like a terrified child when dealing with something that can't be bought or scared into submission.
• Social Climber: She cares a lot of status and class, even at the expense of her family.
• Socialite: She is an elderly and negative example of this trope.
• The Sociopath: She displays many qualities related to real life people with sociopathy. She lacks any empathy for others (shown by tossing away things of sentimental value or showing blatant favoritism to people who meet her criteria), frequently manipulates her daughter through emotional abuse, constantly demands that others meet her needs yet gives nothing in return except for criticism, and believes herself above others.
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Implied. She is a bitter and hateful old woman, but Richard acknowledges that even when she gets what she wants, she is never happy.
• Spoiled Brat: Yet another defining trait of Beatrice is how she expects everything to go her way and will not take no for an answer. This is the nicest thing Johnathan has ever called her.
• Strong Family Resemblance: She looks like an older, shorter, fatter and grumpier version of her daughter Stella.
• Stupid Evil:
  • Her horrible actions in "Visited" only make her enemies in Team Phantom and cause her family to cut ties after realizing what a terrible person she is.
  • Her shortsighted revenge plan against Danny in "Traveled" not only fails because she didn't bother learning the full history of the magic box and ends up accidentally releasing three evils ghosts trapped inside that endanger her home and her family, it backfires as it causes Danny and Puck to pay her back by trapping her in her worst nightmare with Soul Shredder for a month.
• Tantrum Throwing:
  • Johnathan reveals that while he was married to Stella, Beatrice once threw a vase at him that almost hit his head when he criticized a screenplay of her life as awful.
  • Towards the end of "Visited", Beatrice rampages through her hotel room when her phone call with Stella ends with her daughter refusing to lift the restraining order Star got against her and making it clear Beatrice doesn't deserve to be a grandmother because of her horrible actions, so she's permanently kicked out of Stella and Star's lives.
• Tautological Templar: She mistakenly believes that, without a doubt, everything she does is for the sake of her family and that she can do anything she wants for her own sake because she's rich.
• They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: She is possibly an even bigger Hate Sink than Vlad but she is not a ghost nor a supervillain, just an elderly woman, albeit a wealthy one.
• Thin-Skinned Bully: She does not hesitate in insulting and criticizing anyone she deems beneath her but becomes furious when others begin doing the same to her.
• Token Evil Teammate: So far, she's the only member of the Traville family who is a genuinely malicious person in contrast to her Nice Guy husband Richard and stuck-up but redeemable daughter Stella.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Assuming her backstory is true, while Beatrice was always a Rich Bitch, she at least tried to be a good wife to Richard at first. Over the years though, her obsession with money and status turned her into the Hate Sink she is now.
• Too Proud for Lowly Work: She has never worked a day in her life, preferring to live off her husband's fortune.
• The Unapologetic: She never once apologizes for any of the deplorable things she does.
• The Unfettered: All that matters to her is getting her own way and anyone who gets stepped on in the process is irrelevant. Deconstructed as this just destroys her relationship with her family, who eventually get sick of her stubborn, self-serving attitude, and makes her dangerous enemies in Team Phantom who utterly despise her for the petty, sociopathic monster she is.
• Ungrateful Bitch:
  • Near the end of "Visited", it's revealed that her side of the family became Impoverished Patricians when she was a young adult and it's only thanks to her marriage with Richard that she didn't wind up in the poorhouse. And how does Beatrice repay the man who genuinely loved her and provided her family with financial security all these years? ...By dominating and bossing him around, taking practically all control over the family estate, and pretty much acting like an unreasonable, domineering crab to non-upper-class individuals and even some of their family members. Not to mention, she threatened to take away ALL of Richard's money if they ended up divorcing.
  • In that same story, she still acts like a total snob to Danny and his parents despite him protecting Star from Donovan Loadman's violence and the Fentons risking their own lives to protect everyone at the country club from the ghost bat.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: In "Traveled", she purchases a mystical box in an attempt to get rid of Danny because she believes it'll let her take back control over her family. Not only does this fail, but she ends up releasing three dangerous ghost criminals called the Forces of Nature onto New York, which also puts her family in danger.
• Upper-Class Twit: She is not as smart as she thinks she is.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Richard claims that she was a rather sweet young woman when they first met and became worse throughout the years. Johnathan doubts this though and believes she was simply putting on an act and just dropped it as the years went by.
• Villainous Underdog: Despite being the Big Bad, she is much weaker than Danny and only has her husband's resources. While Danny has ghost powers, Beatrice is just a normal human with no supernatural abilities and can easily be torn to shreds by him.
• Villains Want Mercy: First, she begs the ghost bat to eat Danny instead of her and Star, even offering to pay it. Then she begs Danny himself, after he reveals his ghosts powers and terrorizes her, to leave her and Star alone by offering to pay him $5 million along with a new house and car of his choosing. Neither attempt works and they just continue their attack.
• Wacky Parent, Serious Child:
  • She’s a Psychopathic Womanchild that’s a FAR worse elitist Spoiled Brat than her daughter Stella ever was.
  • Played straighter with Liam, who seems to be more hardworking and down-to-Earth than his shrew of a mother, based on their mentioned interactions.
• Would Hurt a Child: She was willing to let Danny be attacked by the ghost bat to spare herself and Star.

Liam Traville

Stella's older brother, and Richard and Beatrice's only son. He is the one who currently runs the family business.

---

• Everyone Has Standards: Despite being Beatrice's favorite child, even Liam is exasperated with her antics and is glad when his mother moves out of the country.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: Implied. Star mentions that her maternal relatives can be snobs at times, even when they mean well, but are nowhere near as bad as Beatrice.

Jocelyn, Chasity, and Genevieve

Stella's younger sisters.

---

• The Ghost: They have yet to appear in the series.
• Hidden Depths:
  • Despite not appearing in the series (yet), Richard has mentioned several details about their lives in "Visited":
    • Jocelyn is an author who lives in Italy. She is also married and expecting another child.
    • Chasity runs a charity in Beverly Hills.
    • Genevieve lives in Boston and is currently engaged to a neurosurgeon.
  • In "Blackmailed", Star mentions attending Jocelyn's second wedding, indicating her aunt has been divorced or widowed.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: Implied. Star mentions that her maternal relatives can be snobs at times, even when they mean well, but are nowhere near as bad as Beatrice.
• Non-Idle Rich: Jocelyn and Chasity, at least, have their own work outside the family business.

Simone Traville

Richard's late sister, Stella's late aunt, and Star's great-aunt. She was once romantically involved with Sergio Ricci-Salvatore, who would eventually become Power Surge.

---

• Cool Aunt: Both Stella and Star (despite the latter having few memories of her great-aunt) seemed to like her.
• Everyone Has Standards: Once she learned that Sergio was a crook who was trying to rob her family, she didn't hesitate to dump him and call the cops on him.
• Horrible Judge of Character: What was she thinking to think that Sergio was good boyfriend material?
• Posthumous Character: She has already been dead, long before the events "Traveled".
