🦋 Personality

Option 1: Answer the following questions. Elaborate on the answer, especially your characters thoughts and feelings surrounding the answer. For Canon Characters, you can choose four questions. Keep the word count to 150-400 per question.

1. If your character could ask for one wish, and it's going to be magically granted without any consequence, what will it be and why?


Throughout the whole musical, Beetlejuice wishes to be free from his obscurity. He is trapped in the land of the living, yet cannot interact with it or be seen. He does become visible later in the story, but it's still not enough because while he is visible, he is trapped in a house by sandworms/ghost rules. His goal then shifts to becoming human (I'll be boring, just like you!) so he can leave and experience the world. He's been watching the world for such a long time and yearns to be part of it. During the finale, he gets his wish to become human, although it only lasts for a few moments. After the fact, he decides he's happy being dead because being alive is TOO MUCH. Too many emotions all at once. Not for him.

At his pull point, he'd wish for his new friend (???) to escape from Juno or to be returned so he can face off with her properly. Part of him is human still.



2. What song would a siren sing to your character to lure them closer? Why?


The siren could be reading the damn phone book and he'd still swim out to her without a second thought.

A real actual mermaid? Hot!!! Beetlejuice has only known demons and ghosts throughout his long life and is not immune to being awestruck by new things. He knows the stories about mermaids drowning people, but he's different okay? She won't drown him, she definitely wants to bone. Any song will do, really. Sing him something sultry from the 50's and get him howling like that Tex Avery wolf.

He is very easily fooled by displays of affection and flirtation. This happens to him multiple times throughout the play and he never learns from it. The man is terminally horny. He claims to be suspicious of things that seem too good to be true, but he is ready to be convinced. A song that would have him jumping over board is One Way Or Another by Blondie.


3. What mythological creature would your character most like to be? Which do they identify with? Which would they dread being?


Beetlejuice would choose to be something impressive and powerful like a dragon--something to turn the heads of everyone in the room. Stealing maidens and burning villages to the ground both sound like a good time to Beetlejuice. There's also an oldness to dragons that appeals to him. Dragons are in every human culture and command respect and fear. A many hundred year old demon can relate. He wants to be woven into fairy tales the way dragons have been. He wants to be the new boogeyman.

The creature he would want to be the least is a ghoul. Because he kind of already is one and Beetlejuice, though bombastic and showy, deeply dislikes himself. The nature of his being is a little up in the air as he both calls himself a demon and a ghost and those things aren't very well defined in the musical. He wouldn't put it past himself to sink to a level of depravity where he was digging up and eating corpses. It's Tuesday. He's got nothing going on.


4. If there's one person your character would follow to another realm, who would it be and why? If there's no one, state that and explain why.


Considering Lydia has already jumped into Hell to escape from him once and lived to tell the tale, he'd probably follow her because the kid knows what she's doing. He admires her thirst for revenge and her natural talent for scaring the living and wouldn't be surprised to find out that she shines in other ways. He's also spent the most time with her out of anyone else in the musical besides his mom and considers them best friends.

He relates to her--she hates her dad, he hates his mom. They're practically the same person! Wow! She also totally outsmarted him at his own game and managed to kill him to boot so he has nothing but mad respect for the little lady. It's because of her that he got a taste of humanity. He's willing to face off with his mother to protect her. Wherever she leads, he'll follow with bells on.
