Consider that it is Kyrie that pushes Krauss and Natsuhi in EP4 about Kinzo to the point where she gets them into a logic trap that there should be no escape from (since Kinzo is dead). While in Ep1 she sits back with Rosa while Eva and Rudolf try to make a settlement with Krauss.

Different games...different methods. Rudolf messes up during Ep1 as Krauss manages to land counters on each of them in turn. In Ep4, with Kyrie leading the attack (seemingly over Eva's protest) they hit the mark on the head and corner Krauss and Natsuhi.

However...about Beatrice. Is "Beatrice"...the one on the board, actually the murderer? Or is she some other plot that happens to be in a nice place to be blamed for the murders? If she does murder someone...was it for a criminal reason, or was it self defense? Or was she forced to do it (such as when "Beatrice" finishes off Maria and Rosa in Ep3 to stop Eva-Beatrice's torture?)

Kyrie, in some ways, makes a good Beatrice. In others she does not. Her closeness with Maria only makes sense if one places Ange in the picture. Being Ange's mother and playing with the two youngest children makes some sense. If you add Battler to this and the off chance he introduced Maria to magic, then Maria continues this game with Ange, Kyrie could continue the practice. While Kyrie seems anti-magic, look at how Maria's idea of magic works...it is very logical...for magic. Everything has a meaning and a place. Things need to happen before other things happen. Also for Beatrice, she's fixated on Battler accepting her (as a witch). This may be a stretch, but one could assume that Kyrie might want Battler to accept her...as a mother.

Battler's sin though...if that is mainly related to his dropping of the family name, and this the title...and the sin isn't between Battler and Beatrice, or his immediate family...who's left? Shannon? Maria? Though if the sin is not between Beatrice or his immediate family, that could mean that Beatrice is part of his immediate family. Thus Kyrie can be Beatrice within Battler's sin.

Why would Kyrie care if he dropped his name? It would be easier to have trained Battler to be the next head if he was present the last six years. There might not have even needed to be any of this plotting and planning, since we don't know what Kinzo's plans were before Battler left and before Kinzo died. But then if Kyrie was the one that sent those letters out on October 3rd...how'd she do it? She wasn't there to send them. Have someone else send them for her? Logical. Also covers that she had help on the island to start with. But why plot to kill the whole family? Even calculating the odds that she would die herself, and thus sending money to Ange as well. The question is why? She could be a who, and there are plenty of possible hows...but where is the why...that ever important why?

She's also the closest they have, outside Gohda and Kanon, to an outsider. Even though she's been in a relationship with Rudolf for 18+ years, she's only been family for six.
