Personality
Bethanne has a tough personality but is very approachable. She is able to get along with just about anyone, and finds herself quickly invited to join groups of different backgrounds because she rapidly earns trust.

Background
Bethanne is from Yeti's Call and is long time friends of Tasha. She is the daughter of merchants and is familiar with the customs of the poor, the middle class, and can mingle with the upper class with ease. She is an original member of the guild and has no problem informing Tasha on pretty much anything that's going on wherever she is. She has a knack for stringed instruments and is a natural alto vocalist as well.

The Cloaks
When the Cloaks adventuring party decided to go up against the Slavers Guild of Fairwater Undercity, they asked Tasha and the guild for help. Tasha rounded up much of the guild to help. Bethanne heeded the call and fought bravely against the Slaver's Guild. While travelling West, escorting freed slaves to sanctuary, Bethanne and fellow guild member Max befriended Cloaks member Steven, and a Helena acolyte, Cara. Once they arrived in Howling Rise, Steven introduced Bethanne and Cara to Steven's girlfriend, Aurelia, who was not well. Cara, an accomplished medic and new Cleric immediately took to being a caregiver. Bethanne quickly found that she liked Aurelia and became friends with her. She was able to use her arcane abilities to help soothe her at times. Steven was very appreciative of Bethanne and Cara's help as they tried for a year to help Aurelia get better. Time passed. Both Bethanne and Cara were in Aurelia's wedding party. Shortly after the wedding, Steven gifted Bethanne with an amazing magical mandolin that gives her access to many extra magical abilities. Weeks after the wedding, Bethanne and Cara accompanied the Cloaks on an epic adventure South of the Mountains on a quest to find a cure for Aurelia. As a witness to these events and continued caretaker to Aurelia, Bethanne has used her experiences to write many new songs and performances, growing her fame as a Bard since then.

Adventuring
Bethanne has accompanied Aurelia on several Ranger expeditions as an arcane caster and recorder/entertainer since the return from the South. She is well liked by the Ranger conclave and has earned the trust of several companies of Hunters and Network Outposts as well. Her magic has saved the day on many occasions, and has delighted the troops after several battles. She remains best friends with Aurelia and Cara. She has reported back to Tasha about the impressive rate of the growth of Cara's power and skill as divine caster...it is beyond notable.
