Beatriz Dargan Mackey, or Beeder, is the insane sister of Joe Lon. Having found her mother dead after committing suicide, Beeder became insane as a young teen and stopped leaving the house. She cares little for hygiene, urinates and defecates in a bowl under her bed, and watches television all day. She notes in the story to Lottie May that she should either kill what haunts her or find a place to hide. Beeder has chosen a hiding place within herself that no one is allowed to penetrate. She wishes often for death. Beeder represents the outcome of a situation with an abusive, alcoholic father and a horrific incident as a child.
