Just a thought. The culprit being a new character rewriting Beatrice's character strikes me as turning Umineko into something sort of like a reverse whodunnit mystery (also called the "howcatchem"), where the culprit is declared to the reader at the beginning (as being Beatrice) and the detective has to figure out who he is and how he did it. In Umineko though it sounds like it would make it a bit unfair because the culprit was declared indirectly instead of directly. That makes it sort of a spinoff of a reverse whodunnit rather than a strict one. It's also a little unfair because the story would be written implying there was someone else you had to look for.
Tell me if I'm wrong because I personally don't like reverse whodunnit mysteries.
