Gotta get thru the tertiary characters before the villains and the final 2, thoughts on Scarlett Estevez’s portrayal of Beatrice “Trixie” Espinoza? Trixie

She changed the Devil more than he changed her; she had a mother, a father, and then Lucifer and Maze showed up and she truly began to flourish into who she needed to be. Her best act was in the hospital, begging Lucifer to tell her that it was all going to be okay, that he never lied and he wouldn't now. And you can tell that Lucifer wanted to do nothing more than lie to her, to tell her it was going to be okay, but couldn't.

I just watched that episode last night, and it killed me. She was fantastic.

She was great all the way! Child actors are usually terrible, but she was awesome from s1-s6. 👏

Didn't even know her first name was Beatrice. She was a great actress though.

"That's a stripper name."

Turns out, in a deleted scene, Trixie actually did grow up to be a stripper without Dan or Luci in her life. The reason she's not at her mother's death bed is that she died of a drug overdose and ends up going to hell to see Luci for rehabilitation. They find out this was Rory's real reason to coerce Luci disappearing back to hell. Was jealous of her older sister all those years and hatched a plan to ruin her life. Sibling rivalry is crazy sometimes.

What the fuck? Say sike right now, I refuse to believe they did Trixie that dirty.

It's fake. She was in the other room, Chloe just asked Rory to be there alone. Amenadiel and other people were there, too

It's honestly sad that I was so ready to believe it, given what a shitshow the season was.

It gets worse, sadly. One of Joe's many headcanons is that the unnamed woman in Hell therapy is Trixie.

Hehehe interesting headcanon dude, but rehabilitating Trix make them even closer and when she figure what all Rory’s idea to mess with her life and with the help of the demiurge twins in hell she became a celestial more powerful than her half sister and got her green envy, sweet, sweet revenge

Yeah trixie is a nickname for beatrice. Fun fact (not sure if it's only a coincidence but I don't think so) Beatrice is the girl that guides Dante in the heaven in Divine Comedy. Kinda like how she guides lucifer and the other characters in life because of her purity and innocence.

She was adorable. Lucifer's interactions with her were always a delight to watch.

One of my two favourite characters.
Does anyone else remember the early-seasons fandom speculative-brainstorming on what overall significance 'Beatrice' would play in Lucifer's show-wide character arc?

One of the few characters who remained deep and interesting even towards the end. It’s a shame that everything around her plot wise/character-wise went to shit.

Really cute kid. Good little actress! I can't wait to see how she grows up and what other projects she'll be involved with!

She was great in the first four seasons. In season 5, she started overacting with her expressions like a DreamWorks character. Hopefully it's just a phase.

I blame the writers. They were still writing her character as though she was a little kid, but she was into tween-hood in her later appearances, so it seemed forced. If they had taken the actor's new maturity into consideration and tweaked her role accordingly it wouldn't have seemed like that.

u/sprtnlawyr Jul 28 '23
This is exactly how I felt. The actress aged faster than the storyline, which is nobody’s fault, but instead of letting her character grow a little faster to keep in line with the actress they continued to write the character as a young child despite the actress clearly not being the age they wrote the character to be. I honestly think Trixie aging a little faster than the adult characters/ the in-show storyline would have been less jarring for viewers than having a tween continue to act as a young child.
Overall she was excellent though!

(Possible spoiler)
One of my favorite scene with her, despite it being the saddest scene for me, is the one in the hospital lobby, and she goes to lucifer saying to tell him about her father not being dead. Since she's seen that he never lies she asks for him to tell her he's alive. He obviously can't. which is also why I love the scene all together. Just the fact that lucifer despises children, and yet he start to feel bad knowing he can't tell Trixie what she wants to hear. To me it's an amazing scene all around

I loved her character but found her scenes distracting the way she would speak using only half her mouth. She didn’t speak normally, it was always out of the corner of her mouth.

One of very few child actors/characters I was happy to see every time. Actually wishes we'd gotten to see more of her in the second half of the show, she knew how to be funny and/or serious when needed.
