Darcia is probs alive, being the redhead girl we see with the old man after you take over the fort. My guess is that she is one of the so called murdered sisters of the queen and that she is looking for revenge and to dethrone her sister using Grolokk Grolokk to do so.
Who knows, she obviously was planning all of it so she must have planned a way out and for that skeleton to be placed.
From playing chapter 2, it seems the queen killed her parents and sisters. I am guessing that Darcia is a sister to the queen. And if the skeleton is not Darcia's, then it might belong to a sister. And at the end of chapter 1 we see who might be Darcia. But is it? Is it another sister?
The villagers give pretty strong hints... there is one sister that openly opposed the current queen and had rallied an army for her course, only to get crushed by her ruthless sister and the royal army... believed dead, but not proven. Dartenia Telis
It's sort of a callback to an easter egg in the old FPS Shadow Warrior.
All you can do is discover news about the bridge and the plans of the queen in the village. So far I think you can't enter the plague ridden city or do anything else in the other locations (so no new missions and girls i guess)
Well you have a small run in with her dureing the Bridge Quest, but her recruitment is likely based on makeing her bridge collapse.
Beatrix will be implemented in future releases. She's not in the game just yet.
