Physical Description: Bethan is a striking female. Her lithe, petite frame is something to be envied and she carries herself with an air of confidence that is impossible to ignore. At 5’4, she’s not particularly tall neither is she very small. She sees it as the perfect height. She’s skinny, maybe a little too much and she hates it. She tries to eat as much as she can, but with all the sports that she partakes in it’s hard for her to keep on the weight. For her height, her legs are very long and her favourite asset. Her hands are her least favourite body part. Roughened from playing both the guitar and riding without gloves, she hates the way they feel and tries everything to get them to soften up again.
Her red hair is an extremely eye catching feature. Obviously dyed, the red locks really do suit her and contrasts beautifully with her honey toned skin, which comes from her Spanish heritage. She has large, chocolate brown orbs that often change with her emotions. They’re usually very dark, as she’s pretty much always annoyed or angered, but they can lighten mischievously if she’s in a certain mood or when she’s smiling genuinely. Her smile is another beautiful feature, but it’s so rare or fake if she’s performing that it’s not something everyone will experience.
She dresses herself well. Often in skinny jeans and a flattering top as well as various cardigans, blazers and jackets, Beth has a good sense of fashion. She adores dresses and high waist shorts during the summer, though she does often pair the shorts with a pair of tights during the winter months. When exercising, she favours shorts and tank tops, with a hoodie over top in the winter months. And riding, being a Western rider which surprises many people, she wears the jeans, plaid shirts and cowboy hats that are associated with the discipline.
Personality: Bethan is a complex little thing. She almost comes across as shy, which is a very inaccurate assumption of the female. She’s just very quiet, unwilling to speak unless the situation really needs it. She enjoys silence and doesn’t like it to be disturbed with meaningless chatter. She’s actually quite outgoing, even if she doesn’t have to talk to be so. Her expressions allow her to communicate efficiently enough and she really isn’t afraid to show her distaste through a glare or a scowl. She also has the art of a condescending smirk down to the T, she really does know how to belittle a person if they get too big for their boots around her.
When she does speak, it’s usually a sarcastic remark. Her mind is quite cynical, and she tends to look on the darker sides of things. This affects her humour too, which can be rather harsh. Hence the sarcasm. She isn’t the friendliest of people, but when she trusts a person she’s extremely loyal and you begin to see a sweeter side to her. She’s not the most caring, but she does give some good advice when it is needed. She hasn’t got a lot of patience for people whom she isn’t close with, and can be snappy or just downright rude.
As rude and mean as she can be, she’s not bitchy. She won’t go looking for a fight nor will she purposely insult a person to make them feel bad. It’s as soon as they cross her does her defensive side come into play. She’s usually happy to let everything flow around her, until someone may involve her. The lithe female is always aware of her surroundings too, and is extremely observant. Nothing slips past her, and she always knows when a person is lying to her. She calls it a gift, others call it a nightmare.
Beth is an extremely athletic person and is almost always on the go if she can be. She loves to run, and is also fond of dancing. Of course, there is also riding which she adores. She’s also been a cheerleader for years. The sport isn’t as popular in Britain, but her team was very high ranking and she really does love it. She isn’t your usual cheerleader either; she tends to stay away from the bitchy, gossiping ranks and won’t sit with others during her lunch breaks etc. She has her own friends, and doesn’t need a squad to make herself feel secure like other girls do.
As well as being an athletic female, she’s also musically talented. The guitar is her favourite instrument, though she can also play the piano and the violin. She can sing too, but prefers not to. When with her instruments, she tends to block out everything around her and focuses what she’s working on. Nobody gets through to her when she gets going and if you try to distract her, you’ll never hear the end of it.
History: Bethan Young was born to her single mother on the fifth of May, nineteen ninety five. She had one older sibling, a brother, of a different father to her own. Beth’s origin came to be when her mother went on holiday and had a one night stand. She didn’t find out until she got home, and didn’t know Bethan’s father’s name so there was no way of contacting him. Beth doesn’t, and never has, minded. She adores her mother and knows that she tries her hardest to provide for Beth and her brother. She owned a chain of fashion stores around Britain that she’d managed to start up from scratch. They never needed for anything and Beth loved the stability that wasn’t usually associated with single parent families. They got by without any troubles and had always been a close knit family.
When school started for Bethan, she settled in fairly quickly. She asserted herself, even at a young age, to be someone who didn’t take any messing. She made her way through school without much trouble, gaining both enemies and friends, finding her hobbies and doing well in her lessons. She didn’t have complaints. Her friends were a selective, mixed group. There were no two people the same, and were seen as the ‘odd’ bunch in school, but there were always people willing to tag along with them. She was actually quite popular, but just didn’t care.
Riding was a hobby that Beth took up when she was about five or six. Her mother encouraged to do so, stating that she had enjoyed it as a child and Beth would too. She was right. Unlike her mother though, Beth took a fancy to the Western discipline. With a need for speed, she soon threw herself into barrel racing from a young age and loved it. The lithe female was smitten with the sport and kept it up just as much as she did her cheering, both hobbies neck and neck with one another in a bit to be her favourite.
A year ago, Beth’s life changed quite considerably. Her mother now had a boyfriend, but he travelled a lot and was mainly based in America. He is the C.E.O of a department store, who had been trying to persuade Beth’s mother to sell some products within the store in America. Beth and her brother thought nothing of the phone calls that lasted hours and every time that he was in town, their mother would disappear for days. Then, one day, their mother turned up with an engagement ring and announced that they were moving to America. At first, Beth was annoyed and angry. She kicked up a fuss before eventually coming around to the idea. Her step-father was a good guy, and made her mother happy, why should she fight it so much?
Only now is Bethan returning to school. It took her a while to settle, and eventually she did so once her step-father offered to buy her a horse to send her to school with. Arriving at Blue Ridge finally, she’s not really sure what to do with herself just yet but she’s sure to cause some sort of stir. Intentional or not.
