Sorry to go off topic for a sec, but I had been searching for this for awhile with all the Everybodytrice theories flying around lately. (My favorite is the Kumasawatrice or Georgetrice not because I think they're true but because I have two really great (i.e. awful) pictures of that from those Umineko 4komas. 8) )
From EP1 ???? - Bernkastel is talking to 'us' or 'Battler' after Beatrice has left to prepare the next game.
Quote:
"First of all, about that girl.
She does have the name Beatrice, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she is 'one individual woman.'
See what I mean?
In other words, she's not some human.
Her existence is a personification of the rules of this world."

In other words, from the end of EP1, just mere moments after we've been introduced to her, we should have already known that very simple theories where "Shannon is Beatrice!" won't cut it. And Bernkastel bringing up the idea of the rules of the world and from her later TIPs, we know Beatrice is an amalgam of conspiracies, people dressing up and even the rigged explosion at the end.
