Key: Base | Possessed by Hate | Fused with Akumu | Hate
Tier: 9-A, far Higher with Magic and Absorption | 8-C, far Higher with Magic and Absorption | High 8-C, far Higher with Magic, Absorption, and Hate, 8-A with Kumuzilla | 8-A, Higher with Magic and Absorption
Name: Bête Noire (Betty), Amber Lightvale (Formally)
Origin: Glitchtale
Sex: None (Physically appears to be a girl but has been confirmed to have no gender and be classified as "nothing")
Age: 13 (Physically), 30 (Mentally), Hundreds of years (Chronologically)
Classification: Embodiment of Fear, The Black Beast, Betty, Spell, Amber
Status: Deceased
Alignment: Neutral Good as her fake persona (Bête, under her human alias, is a curious child bursting with energy. She acts cheerfully and is quick to greet peers with a huge smile. Nevertheless, despite appearing sweet and innocent), Chaotic Evil ( Bête's false personality quickly dissipated after Asriel and Sans discovered some AMD camera footage of her acting rather suspicious. During this time, Dr. Gaster learned that Agate Lightvale sacrificed her own soul to create a powerful creature that would make sure monster-kind and humanity never live in peace. Afterward, Bête revealed her true personality, quickly indicating that she enjoys it when she severely hurts others (both physically and emotionally), showing that she has a very sadistic, psychotic, and violent personality. She appears to enjoy hurting her opponents before she kills them. In fact, Bête is known for attempting to kill anyone in her way. It's also clear that she has no problem lying to, or betraying, others, as she manipulated Jessica into doing what she wanted them to do. Another example of this is when she caused Undyne to hallucinate, causing her to kill Alphys instead of her, or when she caused Jessica to hallucinate a mangled and nightmarish version of Alina, causing her immense emotional pain whilst taking the HATE vial. During combat, she often becomes arrogant, resulting in her underestimating her enemies. She also displays minimal tactical knowledge, allowing the use of strategy to defeat her in battle, as shown in her various battles with Gaster. Although it is observed that she can calculate and knows how to get what she wants, though she seems to not be able to plan to a great extent. Bête, for the most part, believes what she is doing is right. According to her conversation with Akumu, and a couple of lines from Scared Of Me, she believes that monsters and humans living together is "like a time bomb waiting to go off". Therefore, she thinks that what she's doing is "just speeding up the process", thus showing that Bête's views on humans and monsters living together are the same as Agate's. She also knows everyone's past, and uses their mistakes to justify what she does, exemplified by her chastising Asriel (as Flowey) for committing genocide on the inhabitants of the Underground. Occasionally, Bête shows care for Akumu and talks to it as an acquaintance. For example, in Do or Die, she seemed concerned when Akumu was hurt in their battle with Gaster. Both Kumu and Bête treasure each other like their best and only friend, but regardless of this false hope, Cami said it was a kind of instinct since they need each other to live. If one of them dies, the other slowly dies due to the lack of magic and inability to collect souls alone), Chaotic Evil with Hate (While under HATE's control, Bête acts far more violent and frightening than she had previously. In this state, mostly during combat, she mercilessly attacks her foes with a menacing grin. Also, Bête seems to be scared of HATE's plans, as it could control her; this means she knows that HATE has different plans than her own)
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: Room level far Higher with Magic (Betty scales above Chara, who can make an explosion that can cover the entire surface of the ground in a large room. Scales above 1\3 Gaster, Photoshop Flowey, and Sans with Frisk's soul, who are able to fight and take hits from Chara while corrupted by hate. Betty and Akumu are able to casually block attacks from Asriel Dreemurr, who able to completely disintegrate a Kumaling in one hit. After using Rhabdophobia to steal Gaster's Gaster Blasters, Betty was able to make a really large explosion after firing it) |
Intelligence: Supergenius (Betty has been shown to be able to easily manipulate characters such as Sans and Gaster, who are able to create space and time altering machines. Even Sans, who isn't tricked by Frisk's resets from alternate timelines was easily manipulated into believing that Betty wasn't evil until she killed him) | Supergenius, Animalistic when fully consumed by Hate (While being possessed by hate, Betty doesn't fight with any strategy and instead becomes very unpredictable and animalistic) | Supergenius | Animalistic (Hate itself acts out of pure hate and thus, isn't able to have rational thoughts. Hate is also unable to speak or communicate in any shape or form)

Trivia
- Camila confirmed in the Youtube comments section of Animosity that Bete is dead, gone for good, and that the Hate monster is a completely different thing.
- Bete hated her nickname as Betty, and only did it to conceal her identity.
- The "Bête Noire" doesn't have a gender, however, it depends on how it was created.
- Bete can never become Amber because her soul is long gone due to Agate. After all, she has Agate's soul and NOT Amber's soul.
- Bete is NOT Amber Lightvale because they are completely two different people. However, Amber's body was used to create Bete as it can be seen in "Glitchtale Origins" animation.
- Though, Bête Noire knows who Amber was.
- Bete's "new look" in My Promise isn't a transformation, but her real appearance. In fact, what the audience has seen until My Promise was her transformation.
- She can turn her hands into pink claws or their "innocent" appearance as seen in Game Over Part 2.
- When Bete damaged Gaster's soul in Do or Die, it triggered the first flashbacks he had on his experiences in the void.
- Before Love Part 2 was released, Camila said that Cam's soul is the most powerful soul Bete has collected.
- Bete doesn't have a gender..
- Betty is a nickname for "Bête Noire".
- Bete's real name, Bête Noire, comes from the French term Bête Noire, which means Bête=Beast and Noire=Black (translated from french) "someone or something that one particularly dislikes." As for her creator, Agate Lightvale, monsters were her bête noire. This could also be referring to the fans and most Glitchtale characters, as several people dislike her. Bête Noire in French specifically means "Black Beast".
- Camila said in the description of her speedpaint "The Black Beast" that one of the other reasons why Bete is also called "Black Beast" is because Bete feeds on HATE to get stronger.
- This also explains why her primary goal was to make sure there would never be peace between humans and monsters.
- Bete's special attack was first announced in an amino post of Camila.
- Bete fears death.
- "Do or Die" confirmed it when Bete was about to be killed by one of Gaster's gaster blasters.
- This is also supported by the deleted scene in Love Part 1, where Bete tries to console herself after seeing Agate's corpse. Her hair grows pink and assures herself that she won't die.
- In My Sunshine, Bete can be seen looking around the AMD HQ while Frisk was talking with Jessica.
- Bete seems to grow more powerful by absorbing human and monster souls, causing her hair to turn increasingly pink. It also activates her special attack, Rhabdophobia.
- Bete's Hallucination Casting ability may be influenced on the Tsukuyomi from Naruto, due to the fact that both abilities require both people to maintain eye contact, and both cause hallucinations/illusions to whoever is caught in them.
- Camila Cuevas once had Bete's profile photo on YouTube, even before she was seen in the series.
- It was revealed in Do or Die and the description of a speedpaint video that one Fear soul can exist at any moment, and the same goes for Determination.
- Gaster told Frisk in the episode Do or Die that only a Fear soul can defeat a user of the determination soul trait and vice versa.
- Rhabdophobia (in the case of Bete's special attack, since Rhabdophobia has multiple meanings) is the fear of magic. This information was uncovered at the beginning of a speedpaint video.
- Bete does not eat, sleep, or bleed. This was shown in Love Part 1 when Bete did not shed any blood after being hit by Undyne's spear.
- If Akumu dies, Bete will slowly die, and the same applies to Akumu. The same is true for both, but they do not die immediately, it should take a while. If this were to happen, the cause of death would be from running out of magic, because they use magic to live.
- Camila once said on her Tumblr page that Bete's soul is pink because pink is a color that looks innocent and can also trick the characters and the audiences.
- Bete is 14 physically because of Amber, 30 mentally because of Agate, and 1,000+ chronically sense that is how long it took her to be made.
- Before Dust came out, Camila released a screenshot, which features Sans and Bete. .
- Bete is afraid of HATE's intentions.
- Killing monsters and humans are none of Bete's intentions, although it's not enough to stop her. It's not necessary to kill them all.
- The traits of FEAR and Determination counter each other.
- The Bête Noire Spell is a couple of hundred years old, but Bete's body age is 14, and it will never progress.
- Camila doesn't want to explain why Bete is interested in Asriel's soul.
- According to a post, Bete was looking for something in the CORE. And, in another post, it was revealed that she was looking for a "very special" soul in Gaster's lab that might be hidden within the CORE. Looking closely at the True Lab's power generator, a faint red heart could be seen, which might have belonged to a previous Determination soul bearer. After all, Determination can "refuse to die", which might explain why it was taken out of the host without being shattered. But, since it cannot return to whoever its host was, it seems as if this SOUL lacks the Determination to return to the bearer.
- Much like Chara, if Hard Mode weren't activated, Bete would never have existed in Season 2 and the consequences of her activities would have never occurred.
- Bete is not strong enough to beat Undyne.
- If Bete knew that the timeline will be erased if she kills Frisk, she wouldn't care.
- If you invert Bete's colors, you can find Amber.
- Bete is trying to be careful with HATE for most of the series and is trying not to use it. Once she uses too much HATE, it will take over again as shown in Animosity.
- Bete isn't the first Bête Noire spell to exist. There was someone else before her.
- The reason why Bête didn't absorb Alphys' soul was that doing so wouldn't have made a big difference in her powers regardless.
- When Bete is consumed by HATE and her hair is fully pink, it doesn't always mean she can use Rhabdophobia, it can also mean she is terrified, especially since Rhabdophobia takes a large amount of magic.
- If Agate used Copper as the vessel for the Bête Noire spell, the spell would've been stronger than Bete.
- Bete was originally supposed to be able to move between bodies, but Camila removed this idea.
- Before My Sunshine's release (which was Bete's first appearance), she was announced in an amino post of Camila.
- A GIF of Bete and Kumu was published on Camila's amino before Do or Die was completed.
- Bete's special attack, Rhabdophobia, was originally supposed to be named Magicophobia.
- Bete feeds off magic to exist and if she runs out of magic, she'll die.
- This is likely an animation error, but at the beginning of My Sunshine, until the car scene, Bete was seen without her purple leggings.
- Bete's view on monster kind was a mix of her own and Agate's. While she stayed at Gaster's lab she read a lot of history books.
- Bete let Frisk, Toriel, and Asgore escape because she was so caught up in wanting to be feared.
- Bete doesn't have any human organs as seen in Animosity when Gaster rips her in half but no organ and such seems to appear.
- The only way to kill Bete is to make her run out of magic or disintegrate her with a potent attack.
- In the comic, 'Bête Noire's Awakening'; Bete questioning where her brother was is what was left of Agate's sanity leaving her soul.
- If Asriel, Sans, and Gaster never found out about Bete's true nature, she would've planned to kill Frisk in a stealthy manner.
- Agate Lightvale is technically Bête Noire in a way because her soul was the one used to make the spell.
- Before My Promise, Bete was just an empty shell. But after fusing with Akumu, she now has "physical matter" present inside of her.
- At the end of My Sunshine, the "Bete" at Gaster's house was Akumu disguised as her.
- Camila was thinking of adding a scene where Bete encounters what is left of Agate Lightvale's corpse, but she decided against it since it would have been confusing at the time. Camila decided to make it a short comic instead.
- She cannot feel many of the emotions humans and monsters usually can feel, (love, empathy, etc.).
- At the end of Game Over part 1, Bete quotes that "They're doomed to make the same mistakes" which is a reference to "Scared Of Me".
- In My Promise, Bete said she won't use HATE to win. The last time she used HATE was when she used it on Asriel. Currently, she hasn't used HATE throughout the rest of My Promise and Game Over.
- In Game Over part 2, we see Bete's new power and alteration when she fuses with Akumu such as her body regenerating without using HATE, her spear is now a dark magenta color, and she can conjure dark energy shaped arrows.
- Losing the control to HATE is a big threat to Bête Noire because it's basically dying, except that aside from dying she knows she won’t have control of herself anymore.
- Bete's soul is not extracted from HATE.
- There is a font named "Betty Noir."
- There are three ways to kill the Bête Noire.
- They need to make her run out of magic.
- Blast her dead in 1 shot, as Gaster did with Polychromatism after tearing her in half.
- Attack her repeatedly with highly powerful attacks, as shown in Animosity.
