I don't really find her at all charming, but then I find people like her incredibly tedious and intolerable in real life too. Call me grumpy if you must, but the sadness and vulnerability are a played-out weakness I don't find befitting. Beatrice had a martyr's fearless nobility. Yasu has more a downtrodden victim's subversiveness. I can see the argument as to how these traits can mesh, but I reject it because it retroactively makes Beatrice a worse character in my estimation.
But like you said, different strokes.
I do agree that Yasu's imagination is more believable than Maria's, but Maria's is so ludicrously unbelievable that it's almost charming how screwy she is.
