Beretta is a square-jawed, almost mannish-looking young woman with a face that isn't classically beautiful but has a certain distinctive character to it that is attractive in its own way. However, most men don't pay very much attention to her face, their gazes usually becoming fixated on her busty, well-defined physique instead. She uses this to her advantage against men, dressing in rather skimpy clothing that makes her look like a Lara Croft cosplayer. She prefers the freedom to move such outfits allow her, so she has so far avoided the use of body armor, finding that she can avoid most damage through employing her innate agility and putting any of her human enemies down faster with the distracting charms of her body.

Beretta is the twenty-four year old daughter of a former pro football cheerleader who retired after an injury early on in her career and married her high school sweetheart. While she inherited the full measure of her mother's shapely figure, she received relatively little of her beautiful face, her features more resembling that of her father instead. She had just finished her third year of college on a cheeleading scholarship when she suffered her first brush with the Supernatural World. While working for the first time as a counselor at a summer cheerleader training camp for high school girls, the camp was targeted just a few days before busloads of teenage girls were scheduled to arrive by a creepy necromancer who had been rejected by one of Beretta's fellow counselors. The crazed spellcaster raised up several zombies from an abandoned cemetary just a few miles away from the camp and sent them to attack. Everyone died except for Beretta, who hid throughout most of it, then managed to end the threat by surprising the necromancer and stabbing him with a butcher knife taken from the kitchen, gutting him before she could be torn apart by the zombies. It was the first time she was the "Final Girl" in such a situation but definitely not the last. About a year later, just before graduation, her fiance at the time died in her next encounter with the supernatural along with several of their closest friends, killed by a crazed slasher, an ex-boyfriend of hers empowered by a cursed dagger, and she ended up the sole survivor again after putting the madman down with a crowbar. Several months later, she was back home after failing her first audition to become a professional cheeleader, and one of her former high school classmates who had been forcibly turned into a vampire just a week before suddenly embarked on a killing spree, murdering both of her parents and then feeding from her a bit, intending to turn her, but she managed to put an end to him with her father's Colt M1911. At that point, enough was enough, and she used the sizable amount of insurance money from her parents' death to begin training and equipping herself. Over time, she learned quite a bit about the Supernatural World and eventually became a hunter, part-time at first, working with different hunter teams on a few cases. She's been working at it full-time for the last couple of months, looking for a regular team she can fit into.

Beretta Colt was once a rather vapid young woman getting by on her looks and natural athletic talent, but now she has a serious hatred for the monsters of the Supernatural World that have taken so much from her. Having been victimized by their kind in the past, she now hunts them with a vigilante-like focus, living off the bounties she's earned while remaining in her parents' home and improving her private arsenal kept in her father's old gun safe in its basement. She endures a rigorous, daily training regimen, pushing her body to perform far beyond anything she would have ever needed for chearleading, discovering her natural talent at shooting handguns in the process. While the women in town often give her cold looks whenever they catch their husbands or boyfriends lingeringly eyeing her lush physique, Beretta coolly ignores their gossip about what she must be doing to earn money, since she has no apparent job. Lacking any close friends in town aftter having been away for several years, she prefers keeping to herself now and avoids any romantic entanglements with anyone, still suffering from significant emotional pain and feelings of guilt over the death of her fiance. She quietly leaves town whenever a mission comes up that can use her expertise with guns or her abilities at wrangling men. Not yet knowing who she can really trust among her fellow hunters, she's gotten used to looking out for herself. She's also suffering from a bit of PTSD from her past episodes of being the "Final Girl" in deadly encounters with the supernatural, and her rage at this sometimes explodes out of her whenever she find herself in any similar situations, fighting on her own. Dealing with women who remind her of the weakling she now sees herself as once being irritate her, since she blames herself for her fiance's death, who died while trying to protect her.

Beretta primarily relies on her matched set of customized Colt M1911s she wears holstered at each thigh, each of them loaded with reversed ogive ammunition to give them even more stopping power. She is able to shoot a handgun equally well with either hand due to her ambidexterity, allowing her to alternate between her weapons rather than trying to imitate the movies and blaze away with both of them at the same time. Due to her intensive practice at drawing and holstering them speedily, she sometimes holds one of them with both hands and leaves the other one holstered as an alternate form of reloading. She wears a customized set of gloves and boots to aid her in climbing and HTH combat and carries a sturdy hatchet for dealing with things that get too close for her to use her pistols effectively.

Beretta Colt was the "Final Girl" in several past encounters with the supernatural, and she's had enough of that. She's taking the fight to the bad guys now rather than waiting for them to come for her.
