I like his "Noooooo..." during Fjord's distraction of Avantika and then one of them, I think either Sam or Liam (essentially the same person in my book), says "make a constitution check" or something of that variety, and Matt just sits there and morrowfully moans, "Noooooo."

[@Veloziraptor111]

Either that or he's just a really good actor in portraying an insecure guy who is being flirted with for possibly the first time. Or maybe he's genuinely taken aback, having never seen this side of Marisha.

[@jamiedodger2361]

Veloziraptor111 I reckon he’s channelling how he felt when they started dating, just taken aback and shy

[@PyromaniacDelta]

There is also the distinct possibility that she knows exactly what buttons to push to get that reaction. In truth, it's likely an amalgamation of all these factors.

Honestly if they hate Beau so much I think that's evidence that Marisha is REALLY good at her job.

[@machdude3366]

@Jesse Mathis her best characters are those that are well outside of her characteristics. Beau and Keyleth are introspective characters on her part and are only fun in rare moments and are more deeper and personal as a norm (not a great fit for many players to watch because they may not appreciate melodrama). However, her dettached characters (Edna, Snizzler and Rhinestone) are utterly bonkers.

you know it occurred to me when i saw this the first time. If this was a regular TV program or anime, there would be one ep (maybe when Marisha is away?) when Beau gets hit by mind flayer's attack or something and she spends the rest of the time AS Traci. With the rest of the Mighty Nein trying to keep her from: flirting with the monsters/pirates/criminals/city guards, spending all of Beau's coinage (at the beauty salon, clothing boutique, jeweler, etc), and so on. And Jester would probably be encouraging her every step of the way.

[@tfly999]

Here's my thought: when Beau is called away for extended period of training with the Cobalt Soul, Marisha can play a character from Beau's past who Tracy was definitely based on. As to what that character's class, or classes, might be? I'd say Bard, College of Glamour, with just a hint of Rogue. If leveled up enough in Rogue, go the Inquisitive. A fun, flirty, seemingly vainglorious young woman who graduated with honors and is traveling the world to find herself, kinda bitchy and shallow, but room to grow. Wait. Pretty sure that's how Tary's arc went too. Huh!
