She is the queen of the Gluttony Ring, the daughter of the original Beelzebub, the lover of Bub and Vortex, and a Hell-class singer. Possessing an outgoing and vivacious persona, Bee-lzebub inherits her father's legacy and moniker following his demise. Her enthusiasm for enjoyment and delectable cuisine remains unparalleled, as she perpetually embraces revelry and culinary delights.
Biography
Background
Inheriting her father's insatiable hunger, Beelze stands among the "myriads" of hybrid offspring directly and exclusively birthed by the sovereign of the Gluttony Ring, Beelzebub. Being his initial progeny, she was the one he nurtured, forming a deep attachment and indulging her every desire.
She went to Hell School with Charlie, Seviathan, and Hellsa.
Events of Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light
Chapter 5
In "Just Desserts", Beelze calls her father to ask for some of his personal Beelzejuice. Despite being in the middle of a terrorizing Moxxie, Beelzebub indulges his daughter and, though annoyed by her poor timing, tries to let her down gently by reminding her about the riot she caused the last time he had lent her a supply of his brew, which got him in trouble with Leviathan. Beelze does not react well to being told no and calls him the "worst father ever". Not wanting to disappoint her, Beelzebub promises to give her a surplus of his supply and says he will swing by her mansion to show her Hellhound pack how to party. Beelze is very pleased by this and calls him the best dad ever.
In "All the Best Royals Have Daddy Issues", Bee-lzebub throws a massive coronation party as she ascends to her father's throne. She livens up the party with a musical number, where she happens upon Seviathan, who has arrived to the party with Hellsa. She thanks Seviathan for wanting to celebrate her coronation, but Seviathan rather bluntly says that he and his sister were there to see Behemoth. Bee-lzebub says she doesn't know where he is, but gives him a tip that Behemoth despises off-key soul music, and that Seviathan might be able to lure him out using that.
Bee-lzebub later partakes in a hot tub along with Vortex, Cerberus, and Behemoth, where Seviathan and Hellsa approach Behemoth. Bee-lzebub flirts with Hellsa, who is revealed to be her ex, and convinces her and Seviathan to join them in the hot tub. Hellsa tells Behemoth that they need his Asmodean Crystal to get into the Envy Ring for something Seviathan wants to show Hellsa, which Bethesda has barred them entering, but Behemoth manages to convince Hellsa and Seviathan to enjoy the party for the time being.
As the party continues, Seviathan begins to get heavily drunk, clearly drowning his sorrows and hiding his pain. When Bee-lzebub tries to check on him, he drunkenly extols the virtues of alcohol for numbing his grief. Bee-lzebub goes over to Hellsa and requests that she keep an eye on Seviathan to make sure he doesn't get himself hurt. Hellsa proudly says she couldn't care less what happens to Seviathan, but implies she is willing to watch over Seviathan if Bee-lzebub gives her something in return, Bee-lzebub flirtatiously offers to hang out with Hellsa "just like old times", which convinces Hellsa to watch over Seviathan. However, Hellsa, frustrated from chasing her brother all over the party, ends up abandoning Seviathan and leaves him to die after he climbs a 500-foot diving board and jumps into a massive pool full of Beelzejuice and giant candies. Fortunately, Behemoth saves the drunk Seviathan from drowning in the alcoholic pool.
Later on, Bee-lzebub engages a visibly inebriated Hellsa in a conversation about her recent contribution to the Hellhound Adoption Foundation. Hellsa, affected by alcohol, expresses frustration and suggests potential misuse of the funds, especially considering the Foundation's association with the problematic takeover of Sloth. Playfully, Bee-lzebub jests with Hellsa, who responds with a smile, defending her support for "small businesses". However, the young royals' conversation takes a heated turn as Bee-lzebub passionately critiques the Foundation's dubious practices, focusing on the mistreatment and coerced breeding of the pups. Hellsa playfully alludes to Bee-lzebub's own family's history of cruelty. This exchange escalates into a confrontation, leading both to briefly assume their Full Demon Forms. Following an intense staredown, Bee-lzebub reverts to her standard form, expressing disillusionment with their past relationship and underlining the significance of learning from prior errors. Bee-lzebub stresses that her father's actions don't dictate her own behavior, and highlights Hellsa's missed chance to rise above her parents' mistakes. Before Hellsa and Seviathan use Behemoth's Asmodean Crystal to return to the Envy Ring, Bee-lzebub gazes back at Hellsa with a disheartened expression before resuming her role in hosting the coronation celebration.
Personality
- "Y'know, I don't use labels. I guess you would call me, like, the party vibe-keeper? I'm the one who makes sure people are having a good time. Y'know, a good host, or walking vibe check, or whatever. I'm sure you get me."
- — Bee-lzebub.
Bee-lzebub epitomizes the hard-drinking, socially vibrant persona of an uptown, 'hippie' party girl, reveling in a hedonistic existence of boundless extravagance and perpetual festivities. In stark contrast to her sinister and conventionally traditional demon lord father, she exudes a relaxed demeanor, empathy, and a remarkable nonchalance, unless incited. Her mansion is a 24/7 party area where any Hellborn demon is welcome to join in the party, intoxication, passion, and unrestrained nourishment. However, this generosity is contingent upon a prerequisite of positive vibes and self-indulgence, which she benefits from and exploits.
Unlike her more traditional demon lord father, who thrived on the anguish of others, deriving pleasure from their excessive misery, Bee-lzebub thrives on their unrestrained indulgence. She facilitates their gratification by providing snacks, libations, enabling and exuberant celebrations. She bluntly (and proudly) describes herself as a "jackass who never shuts the fuck up" and appropriates substances from her companions and connections, gleefully boasting to her myriad siblings about her undisguised status as Beelzebub's favored offspring. When confronted, she can adopt a more confrontational stance, yet exhibits admiration for those capable of outdrinking her, demonstrating graceful acceptance in defeat.
Endowed with empathic abilities, Bee-lzebub possesses the uncanny knack to perceive the thoughts and sentiments of individuals, deriving an exhilarating sensation from the exuberant energy of her revelers during their moments of joy. Conversely, she's attuned to discerning instances where individuals resort to alcohol as a coping mechanism for sorrow or desolation, an experience that weighs her down and fills her with melancholy. This intrinsic empathy leads her to manifest numerous instances of authentic kindness, a significant departure from her earlier years, as she fervently desires everyone's engagement in authentic merriment rather than participating in self-destructive forms of amusement.
Bee-lzebub garners a reputation for her substantial indulgence, with a prevailing perception that she's accustomed to having her desires met without exerting any personal effort, thanks to the attentive pampering and unwavering attention provided by Beelzebub. Comparable to Seviathan and Octavia, she displays a pronounced inclination towards material possessions. When faced with situations where Beelzebub declines her requests, she is known to exhibit minor, emotionally charged outbursts, often successfully influencing him to acquiesce to her wishes.
Bee-lzebub is fully aware of the mistreatment Hellhounds face, being treated like slaves, but it is something she can't do anything about. To offer some solace, she hosts wild parties exclusively for hounds and imps, aiming to give them a sense of belonging and show them some kindness, knowing how poorly they're treated by the rest of Hell. These gatherings are completely free, and Bee-lzebub's only goal is to spread good vibes in exchange for the positive energy they bring. As long as they stay out of trouble, they're always welcome to join.
Appearance
Beelzebub is a tall, fox-like demon adorned with insectoid attributes. These features encompass multiple limbs, a duo of antennae that extend from her ears, and a petite pair of insect wings. Her physique is embellished with striking yellow and pink-striped fur reminiscent of a bee, augmented by jet-black markings that cascade along her arms and legs, conjuring an illusion of dripping patterns. Her hair and tail exhibit a remarkable composition resembling either honey or lava lamp fluid, radiating vibrant hues of pink, blue, and orange that cast a mesmerizing glow. This effervescent radiance is further reflected in her stomach, which adopts the appearance of a lava lamp. A distinct attribute lies in a pink stripe on her head that morphs into a third eye as she transitions into her full demon form.
Her attire includes a sleek black choker embracing her neck, accompanied by a pink off-the-shoulder crop-top, distinguished by a heart-shaped cutout. Intricate white markings underneath her top shape-shift into a paw motif, embellished with claws. Complementing her ensemble is a low-cut black bra, while her attire is rounded off by a pair of lighter pink short shorts, featuring trim that mirrors the color of her top.
Powers and Abilities
Natural Powers
- Demonic Transformation: Beelzebub possesses the ability to assume a larger, considerably more formidable manifestation reminiscent of a colossal bee, a form of such magnitude that it prohibits her from standing indoors, even within the expanse of her expansive mansion. This Full Demon Form draws her closer in resemblance to her father, mirroring his appearance in a more intricate manner.
- Shapeshifting: Bee-lzebub can shapeshift in various way such as changing her physical form or changing sizes at will.
Unique Powers
- Absolute Consumption: Bee-lzebub can consume a seemingly limitless quantity of food and beverages while never encountering any adverse consequences. Her lava-lamp-like midsection swiftly processes and burns away everything she ingests, resulting in a perpetual state of insatiability where her appetite remains unquenched, and her desire for more persists unabated.
- Empathic Taste: Within her surroundings, Beelzebub possesses the extraordinary ability to discern the sensory perceptions of taste from all present, a phenomenon that invigorates her with newfound vitality. However, this heightened sensitivity also allows her to detect negative energies emanating from individuals grappling with emotional distress, exemplified by instances such as Blitzø's intimate interactions with other Imps that are accompanied by his internal struggle to suppress his queasiness.
- Flight: Bee-lzebub can fly and hover using a pair of insect-like wings.
- Food Manipulation: Bee-lzebub harnesses her demonic magic to bring about the materialization of objects, predominantly focusing on delectable confections. In alignment with her role as the Queen of Gluttony, her capabilities extend to the conjuration, augmentation, and manipulation of sustenance in an ostensibly boundless array. She commands the ability to summon forth torrents of honey, magnify assorted comestibles and beverages, and remarkably presents an aesthetic with her hair and tail seemingly composed of unadulterated honey.
Relationships
Family
Beelzebub
Beelzebub was Beelze's loving and doting father. She was Beelzebub's first child, and thus was cherished and spoiled rotten by her father. Despite being prone to act disagreeable whenever her father refuses to get her something, they have a very casual, friendly relationship, and seem to mutually love and care about each other. It's unknown how she reacted to his death.
However, their relationship harbored its share of drawbacks. Beelzebub strongly disapproved of her father's relentless extermination of imps, and there's an implication that her upbringing was marred by emotional trauma due to her constant exposure to the suffering of her father's victims within the confines of his castle. In a conversation with Hellsa, the Queen Bee referred to her father's killings as "mistakes" that she gleaned valuable lessons from, aspiring to govern in a more endearing manner than he ever did.
Allies
Hellsa Von Eldritch
Bee-lzebub and Hellsa maintain a warm and even fond connection, having previously been in a romantic relationship. Despite their history as ex-partners, they remain close and engage in playful flirtation. Hellsa's affection for Bee-lzebub goes to the extent of her willingness to carry out tasks she might otherwise avoid, as demonstrated when she oversees Seviathan to ensure his safety during their visit to Behemoth's mansion – a favor granted by Bee-lzebub – even if it's in exchange for a more intimate encounter.
Still, despite being happy exes, their relationship still has some tension; Bee-lzebub criticizes Hellsa for aligning with questionable causes such as Hellhound exploitation. At one point, Hellsa retorted Bee-lzebub with a cutting comment about Bee-lzebub's father torturing imps. This led to a brief escalation, with both transforming into their full demon forms, showing some underlying tensions and unresolved issues that led to their breakup. Despite the brief conflict, they eventually cool down, with Bee-lzebub expressing disappointment in Hellsa's inability to grow beyond their parents' sins.
Mr. P
Bee-lzebub and Mr. P seem to share a certain degree of familiarity, with Bee-lzebub regarding him as an uncle figure. She playfully labels both him and Beelzebub as her "gay dads," alluding to Mr. P's connection with her father. Nevertheless, Bee-lzebub frequently finds herself annoyed by Mr. P's excessively pretentious, mature, and professional demeanor, labeling him a "buzzkill". She openly admits her inability to tolerate his presence for extended periods due to these characteristics.

I thought it was just 'cuz he wanted to impress Behemoth, or some shiiiit... but I can taste people's moods and thoughts, and his is giving off a very 'I'm in unimaginable fucking pain, my family is fuckin' ass and I'm at the end of my Satandamn robe' vibe.

Bee-lzebub: (her ears immediately perk up) Oh, you want some kinda fucking reward for basic fucking decency, huh? (she grins and shakes her head) You really haven't changed at all, Hell. At. Fucking. All.
Hellsa: Eeyup. Still the same sexy and all-powerful princess of Envy. Now, what's my reward? A lifetime supply of Beelzejuice? (she licks her lips and plays with Bee-lzebub's lava lamp-like hair) Maybe you giving this sea-bear a taste of that yummy honey?

(she looks both ways before floating in the air and whispering to Hellsa) I can make all your dreams come true if you just come to the back with me later~
Hellsa: (she grins) You bee-utiful little devil. (she winks) I'll hold you to it." - — Bee-lzebub and Hellsa during her and Seviathan's visit to Bee-lzebub's mansion.
- "Bee-lzebub: Sooo, Hell, I don't wanna dig up old dirt or some shit, but, that rumor that you donated money to the Hellhound Adoption Foundation... that shit's not true, right?
Hellsa: (tipsy) Ugh, don't fucking remind me. It was fucking right before Sloth went to fucking shit! Now all those azathothdamn Hellhounds probably have access MY hard-earned money!
Bee-lzebub: (shakes her head) You really are a stick-up-the-ass stickler to the motherfucking hierarchy like your mother, huh? And 'hard-earned'? (laughs) Don't bullshit yourself, girl.
Hellsa: (grins) You got a problem with us wanting to help small businesses?
Beelzebub: Oh! A 'small' business that's a subsidiary of Hell's largest fucking conglomerate? Funded by a fucking Sin? And one that, I dunno, tortures pups and forces them to fucking breed with 'desirables'? Yeah, I don't like people who hurt pups. Pups are smol. And smol, and fragile, and cute. And, like, you shouldn't hurt little people.
Hellsa: (giggles and boops Bee-lzebub's snout) That's rich coming from a girl whose daddy tortured imps to get his rocks off.
Bee-lzebub: Hey! Uh, wow. (changes into her Full Demon Form) Not FUCKING cool, Hell!
Hellsa: (grins and goes into her Full Demon Form as well, pointing her tentacles at Bee-lzebub) Now we're talking! You know how much I missed your wild side...
Bee-lzebub: (after an intense stare-down, Bee-lzebub sighs and shifts back to normal, as does Hellsa) Y'know, this kinda fucking bullshit is exactly why we broke the fuck up! And just 'cuz that's what my dad was into doesn't mean that the Queen Bee of Gluttony is into hurting little people. There are other ways to get off. Like, showing and giving demons a good time??? We have a chance to learn from their parents mistakes and, y'know, be better than them. ...Guess ya missed out on that memo." - — Bee-lzebub and Hellsa.
- "Hmm... Probably not. Not everything should be forgiven, especially when it comes to blood. Some bridges just need to be burned and you shouldn't let yourself keep getting hurt by someone you don't need in your life. But in reality, if an estranged sibling wants to make up... and they mean it? Do it. Life is too goddamn short for petty bullshit. But if they don't mean it? Then don't waste your time, girl."
- — Bee-lzebub to Hellsa when asked if family members could be forgiven.
