Personality:
Bebe is actually quite behaved and clever for her age, her mind working faster than some of her superiors. Not one to go out and cause trouble for others, but instead speaks against it and raises possible negative outcomes in hopes to change minds, but her curiosity usually makes her tag along anyway if anyone decides to go through with anything and ends up being the one to try to keep others from getting into TOO much trouble, despite being easily frightened. She prides herself in being one of the top in class and is always happy to learn new things, being a teacher's pet as well as trying to be the adult's favorite and responding to them most of the time with "Yes ma'am/sir, No ma'am/sir". As a result, she may put trust in others too easily and try to act mature for her age, but in the end she's still just a child. All she wants is praise, praise, and more praise. Though, she does seem to favor females more than males, and seems to act differently between interacting with children and adults. For adults, she puts on a cute and obedient personality, but for kids she's a bit more serious.
She can act spoiled, pouting and sulking when things don't go her way or when others receive more attention. But instead of whining openly about it, she becomes stubborn, snappy, and rather confusing in what she says she wants from them.

History:
[Updated 11/17/12]
Ultimately, from what it seemed to outsiders, Bebe grew up in what would be mostly considered an ordinary family, following an ordinary life, being the middle of child among 3 children (currently ages 3, 10, 14). Bebe was usually held responsible for caring for her little brother, who was 2 years younger. Her older sister was put in charge of monitoring the both of them, as well as handle the harder chores around the house while Bebe handled.. well, everything else that didn't seem too difficult for a child. But on her free time, she would often visit libraries after school to sit and read. She liked learning, and best of all, it was a good excuse to be out of the house. For a while she followed a routine of waking up early with her sister, doing chores together, going to school, going to the library, going home, and going to bed to do it all over again. Sometimes she would even stay longer after school to help her elementary teacher with the paperwork. Her father worked the night shift, while her mother was working in the day, and Bebe would usually only be home once the sun was set. She would often see her sister being scolded when she's home, and it was apparent she became bitter over all the pressure, but Bebe was never able to offer a proper shoulder to cry on. After all, it wasn't her problem. Bebe even gave her sister the cold shoulder a lot of the time, hinting that she was jealous that she wasn't the oldest. She did her best to stay out of the house during breaks and weekends as well, out and about to play with the neighbor's children and things like that.

From her understanding, her father, a Torterra man, used to be a married to someone else before meeting her mother, a beautiful Ursaring woman. She may have a half-sibling out there somewhere, though the information was considered the family's 'skeleton in the closest'. Something simply not to be mentioned or discussed, ever, no questions asked. Bebe feels closer to her mother than her father, she thinks he is too secretive and shady even if he seems incredibly kind and generous. Her curiosity had her eavesdropping her parent's arguments a lot of the time, therefore she was the only one of her siblings feeling like things weren't as peachy as they seemed. She argued with her father often and would raise his old wounds each time out of her snappy attitude. Things never ended well, and it resulted in Bebe becoming frightened too easily over basically everything, her father putting her under many trivial things as his way of punishment (forcing her to sit out in the dark during a thunderstorm, pricking her with needles, etc. You can probably guess what else he does from what she's scared of.. use your imagination). The Torterra never meant to be like this, he did his best to show he loved his son and daughters, but his rage was unpredictable. Even her mother didn't know this was happening right under her nose, and was often too tired to notice things out of place when she's home. Whenever she does spend time with her children, however, she utterly spoils and pampers her two younger babies with love.

Finally, her sister had enough, running away to get away from all the responsibilities of being the older sibling. They searched for her, but it was in vain, never finding traces that would lead to her whereabouts. The entire family was heartbroken, but they were forced to continue with their daily lives. Bebe was then considered the oldest sibling of the house, and suddenly immense amount of pressure fall on her shoulders. It filled her days to become much more busy, taking on both her and her sister's responsibilities. She never had the time to do the things she liked anymore, and she was always too tired to stay awake long enough to read her books or do school work properly. Bebe knew how her sister must have felt now, and it was definitely not easy. Her mother didn't seem as loving as before, her father became more strict, she never got any praise for what she did, and it all felt like the weight of the world. This didn't continue long. On the bus ride home, she found a flier abandoned on one of the seats, mentioning an island that welcomed residents, all the information included. She kept it and soon after that, she decided to do what her sister did, run away from home.

Although scared, the clever girl's mind was set, and she planned it well. She secretly saved her lunch money, allowance, and snatched up any money laying around from her parents to buy a one way ferry ticket to the island, where they wouldn't search for her or suspect her of residing in. Maybe if she was lucky and her suspicions were correct, her sister would have gone there as well, and they could meet again. At least, that's what she's most hopeful for.

On the day she ran away, she packed all the clothes she had as well as anything else she could carry, stole her father's wallet, and fled without detection. Upon arriving, she wasn't allowed on the boat without an adult. It didn't come to mind she'd need a guardian.. but lucky for her, a colorful Kecleon woman named Joh was kind enough to accompany her on board. Upon arrival to the island, Bebe realized she didn't know where to go from there. The islands were too large for a girl her age and size to wander alone.. she had money to pay for a hotel room.. but how long would that really last? Not only that, everyone was a complete stranger to her except for Joh. But to her surprise, the woman even offered to allow Bebe to stay with her! Of course the girl accepted, even if Joh called herself a camper with no real home to stay, Bebe was immediately taking a liking to Joh and her kindness. From then on, Bebe lived with her, camping in the forest and simply wandering where they pleased. It's an easy going life, Bebe could do whatever she wanted, and she's even going to school to continue studying for as long as she can using the money she took from her father instead of wasting it on hotel rooms. However, she does her best to hide the fact that she ran away from home and hid the wallet and it's bearings, afraid that somebody would turn her in. She's perfectly happy here!
