Madame Brouillard
Tells the past and present and predicts the future, with veracity and swiftness. Her predictions are incomparable. She has studied sciences, chiromancy, chronology and physiognomy, and applies the theories of Gall, Lavater, Desbarroles, Lambroze, and d'Arpenligney. Madame Brouillard has traveled across Europe and America, where she's been admired by her numerous clients of the highest order, for whom she's made predictions concerning the fall of the empire and all the events that followed. She speaks Portuguese, French, English, German, Italian and Spanish.

Often compared to the celebrated Louise Brooks, on account of her bob haircut, Beatriz was nevertheless a comedienne and singer, not a dramatic actress and dancer like Louise. However she too became a legend in her time, among the Portuguese speaking public in Portugal (Europe) and Brazil (South America). And like Louise she wrote several auto-biographical books that were a hit with the public and of great historical interest. Beatriz went into the show biz because, as she put it, she always wanted to be a clown.
