Name: Helen Bierce (also referred to as Bierce), Beatrice

Special Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (Entities of Dark Deception have the ability to know where opponents are, tracking them based on even the faintest of sound they make), Telepathy (Stated to have the ability to read the mines of other beings, of which she did with Doug Houser. Bierce instantly knew everything about Doug and his entire life from a simple gaze), Soul Manipulation (Capable of interacting with souls that fall within their realm, which they crystalized into soul shards), Non-Physical Interaction (Likely can interact with beings who lack physicality, as they are capable of effecting souls and even turning them into objects), Sealing (Scaling from Agatha, another nightmare boss who can trap the souls that fell within her own realm, of which can even be seen within the map itself), Pocket Reality Manipulation (Controls her own purgatory realm, where many souls go to when they perish), Reality Warping (Similarly to Agatha, Bierce is capable of altering reality to her whim, of which Bierce uses to alter her purgatory to her desires. Capable of granting the wishes of those who enter her realm, usually for a price), Ressurection (Responsible for Doug being brought back whenever he dies, which she can do indefinitely), Immortality (Type 1 & 7, likely Type 4; Bierce is already undead, not being able to die a second time and it's suggested that Bierce can ressurect herself should she fall, of which can do with Doug as an extension), Power Nullification (Depowered the influence and power that Malak had within her realm, making him essentially unable to act within her form or even take proper form), Statatistics Amplification (Speed Boost, of which is an extension of The Ring Alter, something that gets it's powers from Bierce herself, allows users to increase their speed to insane lengths), Fear Manipulation (Primal Fear causes opponents to instantly get fearful, either fleeing from combat or being too staggered to move), Invisibility (Vanish will make users invisible, unable to be detected), Portal Creation (Opened several portals to different nightmare realms), Fate Manipulation (Stated she can change fate and even give Doug Houser a new life entirely, changing the one he originally lived before death), Clairvoyance (Can see virtually everything that happens across dimensions, even whilst present in her own purgatory realm), Teleportation (Can teleport to distant locations and to other realms as well)

Destructive Ability: Small Building Level (Created the ballroom within puragatory, of which are the size of 2,160 square feet at minimuml. Treated as the strongest being in the series with her only rival being Malak himself, which would place her far above The Dead Duckies, whom of which are capable of biting and crushing human skulls , a feat that requires this much force. Views Doug Houser as nothing more than a tool and her pawn, the same person who can break through webs comprised of crystal when using "Speed Boost"  and can easily break off planks with his bare hands)

Speed: Subsonic, likely Supersonic (Vastly superior to everyone in the series, including the likes of The Gold Watchers, beings who can change positions faster than the eye can detect)

Lifting Ability: Unknown 

Striking Ability: Small Building Class (Can create entire ballrooms within her own dimension, of which are 2,160 square feet usually. As the strongest being in the series, only tied with Malak, she's above The Dread Duckies, who can bite and crush human skulls. Doug Houser is nothing to Bierce, who can rip off wolden planks with casual ease and can also break barriers comprised of crystalline material)

Durability: Small Building Level (Never shown to be hurt within the series, but given her position as the strongest in the series sans Malak, It's unlikely anything in the series can touch Bierce. Her AP and Durability should be the same)

Stamina: Limitless (Bierce's nature as a divine being and also the fact she technically isn't alive would make her inapplicable to concepts such as stamina)

Range: Hundreds of meters with her abilities and in general. Multi-Universal through Portal Creation or Teleportation

Intelligence: Very High (Bierce is referred to as manipulative and cunning in official material, even being suggested by Malak to be a mastermind in this field. Has an extreme degree of knowledge in the field of magic, sorcery and supernatural occurances. Can learn everything about other people or beings with simply a gaze at them)

Weaknesses: Bierce doesn't get involved and usually has people do her own work
