☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: In games (and, unless we're doing some s2-s3-s4 stuff, most memes/PSLs), Beth has two facial scars, on her left cheek and the right side of her forehead. She's 5'4" and has long, blonde hair that tends to frizz into curls, blue eyes, and a very small frame. If you want the extremely NSFW view of her body type, this is a gif of Emily Kinney in Masters of Sex. ♚ FASHION: Beth tends to dress in layers of practical, feminine clothing. She wears cowgirl boots and favors necklaces and bracelets. She consistently wears her bracelets on her left arm, presumably to cover a scar on the inside of her left wrist. ♚ DEMEANOUR: When Beth's comfortable with her situation, she tends to be open, friendly, and quick with an easy smile. When she isn't, she tends to take a more guarded approach to people around her: blank looks, moving ghostlike through locations, trying to go unnoticed where she can. ♚ AURAL: Beth speaks English with a Southern accent (Georgian, in particular). Her voice is fairly high. She sings quite well. ♚ OLFACTORY: The problem with the zombie apocalypse is that there aren't a lot of showering opportunities. When things aren't great, she smells like sweat, dirt, blood, and rot. In a situation where she can bathe regularly, she tends just to smell like the soap she uses. It's been a long time since she's been able to wear perfume, and that's more of a special-occasion thing anyway. ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: Beth is a normal human without mental shields to speak of (re: telepathy). ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Beth is not magical in any way, shape, or form. ☄ Background Deets ♚ BEFORE THE TURN: AKA, "before zombies walkers destroyed civilization." Beth was a fairly normal sixteen-year-old girl. She grew up on a farm in Georgia with her mother, father, and two half-siblings (one from each of her parents' previous marriages). She was a nice Christian girl who loved music (let her tell you about how great Tom Waits is let her tell you) and hated the idea of disappointing her father. The fact that she was invited to parties on the regular suggests that she was reasonably popular, and she was no stranger to boyfriends and the usual high-school drama. ♚ HER PEOPLE: For quite a while, Beth continues to live on her family's farm with her family, neighbors, and boyfriend. Eventually, a traveling group (Rick Grimes et al., AKA the main characters) sets up camp on their farmland, and the Greenes slowly become involved in their affairs. By the time the Greenes' farmhouse is overrun by walkers, they're one band of humans against the world, and that remains the case through the end of Beth's life. ♚ HER LIFE: After the world ends, it basically goes LIVING AT HOME > WANDERING AROUND IN THE WOODS > LIVING IN AN ABANDONED PRISON > WANDERING AROUND IN THE WOODS BUT THIS TIME WITH ONLY A SENSITIVE REDNECK FOR COMPANY > LIVING IN A FUNERAL HOME FOR LIKE A DAY > GETTING KIDNAPPED INTO A HOSPITAL. Aside from the first time in the woods and the hospital, she has good memories of all those places (along with some really shitty ones). Her story is all about looking for a way to live in a world that's drowning in death. ♚ HER DEATH: The hospital was an all-around suckfest, one which made camping with Daryl Dixon look like a dream vacation by comparison. The people in charge ranged from neglectful to abusive to out and out rapists, and Beth ended up killing almost all of them. At the end of her character arc, she has to make a choice: escape with her group and leave the other patients in a situation that will never improve, or try to kill the last person standing in the way of change before she leaves. Beth won't leave vulnerable people where they can be hurt by others--so she chooses to stab the woman in charge and pays for it with her life. ♚ FOR RP: That last arc involving the hospital includes a LOT of character development for Beth--it's the first time she kills humans (rather than walkers), for instance--so I prefer to play from after that point. I like Beth-lives!AUs, raising her from the dead and making her scrabble out of whatever grave she was buried in, jamjarring her, shoving her into other universes and bringing her back to life in the process, or AUing her into other canons with the main points of her backstory preserved. Or, you know, whatever else I can swing. ☄ OOC ♚ BACKTAGGING: Backtagging is fine, but in general, I prefer to work steadily on threads if possible. I'll always get in touch with you to discuss details if I need to handwave something that hasn't happened yet for another thread. ♚ THREADJACKING: Always welcome. ♚ FOURTHWALLING: I'd prefer to avoid fourthwalling at this time ♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: At heart, Beth's an affectionate person, and she's fine with hugs and cheek-kisses and handholding (and stuff and things) from people she likes and trusts. However, due to the canon point she's from, someone she doesn't know well getting a little too friendly is likely to put her on her guard and generally not be a good time. If you're not sure where your character would fall, feel free to ask. ♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Beth has killed both zombies and garden-variety humans. Violence is something she's learned to live with, and I'm fine with playing out/around fights, torture, killing NPCs, &cet. That said, let's be in contact over it so we know what to expect, and I'd rather write around the details of extremely violent or gory situations. For somebody who watches a zombie soap opera, I'm pretty sensitive to violence and will let you know if things get to be too much for me. ♚ RELATIONSHIPS: Beth is incredibly shippable--she has multiple boyfriends in canon and is clearly interested in dating. Het relationships will take less buildup than femslash ones, but I'm willing to make either happen if you're interested! Drop me a line, and we'll discuss. ♚ DIFFICULT SUBJECTS: Beth comes from a dark, violent canon, and the following subjects have a good chance of showing up: ♔ Death, familial death, her own death ♔ Depression, attempted suicide ♔ Murder, general violence, physical assault ♔ Sexual assault If you have questions or concerns regarding these issues as they pertain to Beth, please feel free to comment, PM me, or PP me at prettydoes. NB: Depending on the situation, it can be difficult to avoid these subjects entirely in narrative, as they have significant effect on her worldview and potentially her CR. However, I am happy to do my best to accommodate your needs, whether you'd like to opt out of certain subjects or playing with Beth in general. Modified from this code.
