What Were Rot Girl’s Most Notable Romantic Relationships?

Rot Girl—the chaotic necromancer bard of Critical Role’s Campaign 3—has a love life as messy as her hair. While she’s mostly focused on chaos, candy, and corpse jokes, her fleeting romantic entanglements reveal surprising layers. Here’s what we know.

Did Rot Girl Have a Romantic Relationship with Scanlan?

The tension between Rot Girl (Beatrix Lorne) and Scanlan Shorthill (the bard from Campaign 1) is pure chaos. Their flirtation began when Scanlan stole her finger during a prank war, which she later replaced with a lich’s phalange. Though Scanlan’s infamous “seduce enemies” routine often targets her, their dynamic leans more into absurd rivalry than serious romance. When Beatrix accidentally polymorphed Scanlan into a cow in Episode 77, their chemistry was less true love and more mutual destruction. Still, fans ship them hard—or at least enjoy the fireworks.

What Happened with the Warforged Soldier in Xoriat?

During the party’s harrowing time-jump into the alien plane of Xoriat (Episode 92), Rot Girl briefly bonded with a warforged soldier named B12-“Bob.” Amid the eldritch horror, she showed rare tenderness, joking about adopting him as a “scrap-son.” The fling was short-lived—Bob sacrificed himself to save the group—but it hinted at her capacity for connection, even in madness. When he died, Beatrix howled, “NOBODY KILLED HIM BUT HIMSELF!”—a line that remains tragically romantic in a very Rot Girl way.

Was There a Romantic Encounter with the Xoriat Spy?

In Episode 93, Rot Girl’s chaos collided with a Xoriat-aligned spy named Otohan. Their kiss during a psychic interrogation was less about passion and more about psychological warfare. Beatrix, ever the opportunist, used the moment to steal Otohan’s memories, later quipping, “You kissed me to get information? Oh, honey, I kissed you for the same reason.” It wasn’t love—but it was a masterclass in chaotic evil romantic espionage.

What About the Noble at the Feast of the Sovereigns?

At the Feast of the Sovereigns (Episode 60), Rot Girl charmed a pompous noble named Lord Callidus into dueling Taryon Darrington. The encounter wasn’t exactly romantic—Beatrix manipulated Callidus into fighting by implying he was “unworthy” of her affection. When Taryon won, Beatrix shrugged and moved on, though she later mocked Callidus’ defeat with her signature cackle. It was less Romeo and Juliet, more manipulative game—but hey, it fits her brand.

Is There Ongoing Tension with a Member of the Clowns of Crisis?

Rot Girl’s flirtations with the Clowns of Crisis—a chaotic-neutral prank group—have simmered since her resurrection. While no specific partner is confirmed, her interactions with the clown leader Veth suggest playful camaraderie that could turn steamy. During a recent live show, Beatrix “accidentally” set Veth’s hat on fire mid-conversation. Was it a sign of affection? A power play? Who knows! But fans live for the chaotic potential.
