{{FO|Bandersnatch, Beast Divine II|Bandersnatch|A [[Bandersnatch, Beast Divine II|Bandersnatch]] is a fictional creature from Lewis Carroll's 1872 novel Through the Looking-Glass and 1874 poem "The Hunting of the Snark". Although neither work describes the appearance of a [[Bandersnatch, Beast Divine II|Bandersnatch]] in great detail, in "The Hunting of the Snark" it has a long neck and snapping jaws, and both works describe it as ferocious and extraordinarily fast. "Through the Looking-Glass" implies that Bandersnatches may be found in the world behind the looking-glass, and in "The Hunting of the Snark", a [[Bandersnatch, Beast Divine II|Bandersnatch]] is found by a party of adventurers after crossing an ocean. Bandersnatches have appeared in various adaptations of Carroll's works; they have also been used in other authors' works and in other forms of media.<br/>

{{FO|Beatrice, the Luminescent II|Beatrice| [[Beatrice, the Luminescent II|Beatrice]] "Bice" di Folco Portinari (pronounced Italian: [be.aˈtriːtʃe], 1266–1290) was a Florentine woman who has been commonly identified as the principal inspiration for Dante Alighieri's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Vita_Nuova Vita Nuova], and is also commonly identified with the Beatrice who appears as one of his guides in the Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia) in the last book, Paradiso, and in the last four cantos of Purgatorio. There she takes over as guide from the Latin poet Virgil because, as a pagan, Virgil cannot enter Paradise and because, being the incarnation of beatific love, as her name implies, it is Beatrice who leads into the Beatific vision.<br/>

Scholars have long debated whether the historical [[Beatrice, the Luminescent II|Beatrice]] is properly to be identified with either or both of the Beatrices in Dante's writings. She was apparently the daughter of the banker Folco Portinari, and was married to another banker, Simone dei Bardi. Dante claims to have met a "Beatrice" only twice, on occasions separated by nine years, but was so affected by the meetings that he carried his love for her throughout his life.|Source=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrice_Portinari}}

Her counterpart, the Chichevache, feeds on obedient wives. As befits the rampant chauvinism of the era, the Bicorne was depicted as plump and well-fed, while the Chichevache was malnourished.}}
