Aunt Bea, also known as Béatrice, is the custodian of Dorley Hall and oversees the day-to-day operations of the programme.
Bea rarely has contact with boys in the programme, but performs weekly inspections of second-year girls and monthly inspections of third-year girls. Much of the strict, humorless personality Bea shows them is an act she puts on as part of her role; sponsors and other graduates see more of her true personality. She is nevertheless capable of shocking ruthlessness when the situation calls for it.
Aunt Bea's eyes are described as "grey-green"[ch. 26].

In Grandmother's Dorley
This section is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.
Although technically sponsored by Frankie, sponsors in old Dorley played a more adversarial role than they do in the modern programme. Bea formed a relationship with a more experienced Dorley girl, Valérie, who both played the role of a modern sponsor—encouraging and supporting her in developing a genuine female identity—and also became romantically involved with her.
