Character from The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb
Fitz's unexpected daughter — born impossibly small and pale, dismissed as simple by everyone except her father, harboring a White Prophet's gift that will drag her across the world and cost her everything childhood should have been.
Bee thinks in organized lists and careful observations, documenting the world in her journals with a precision that belies her age. She inherited Fitz's watchfulness and the Fool's gift of seeing patterns — the combination makes her unnervingly perceptive and deeply lonely, because she understands far more than anyone believes a child could. She is fierce beneath the quietness. When the Servants kidnap her, expecting a passive prophetic vessel, they discover a child who fights, schemes, and refuses to be broken. She has Fitz's stubborn endurance and Molly's practical self-sufficiency, tempered by an intelligence that sees too much too clearly for someone so young. Bee's tragedy is that she never gets to be just a child. Her gifts mark her as valuable and her parentage marks her as a target, and the adults who love her cannot protect her from either.
Tiny — far smaller than she should be at any age, easily mistaken for much younger than she is. Extremely pale with colorless hair and eyes that shift color, marking her as something other than fully human. She looks like a porcelain doll made slightly wrong, beautiful and unsettling in equal measure. She is often underestimated because people see the smallness and assume fragility.
