This is an attempt to capture for reference a character paper snapshot of the character Bethany, a supporting character in the Multiverser novels first encountered in Verse Three, Chapter One but who because of Lauren's strange relationship with her world is actually younger in Old Verses New.  This character sheet includes everything that is confirmed about her, plus a few extrapolations, in those first two books, and thus represents her as she is in the chapter in which she watches Lauren fighting Horta.

The picture was dug up on the Internet as an approximate image of her; it's not accurate, but honestly comes pretty close--and I was lucky enough to find five pictures of the same girl in the same outfit, so although that's not really her outfit, it's the best I could do.  (I did always picture her as blonde.)

Although the author has a clear picture in his own mind concerning her appearance, she is not described in the book beyond her personality, and it is likely that the reader has formed his or her own image of the character.  Bias levels have been estimated based on the writer's suppositions about the world and her knowledge of it.

To assist the referee, some entries include at least one coded reference to a chapter or chapters in which the item is mentioned; thus by cross-referencing with the story you can determine the details.  The chapters are identified by which character's story is being told, and thus most of those here begin with "H" for Hastings; this is followed by a three-digit number indicating the chapter number for that character, not the chapter number for the book.  Thus if you want to find the first reference to her name, you read here that it appears in H049, and on the index page for the novel you search for the text "Hastings 49" and that will take you to the link for that chapter.  Obviously the chapters beginning "K" are Joe's story, and thus "Kondor", those beginning "S" are Bob's story, "Slade", and those beginning with "B" Derek's story, "Brown", none appearing in connection with her in this book.  The first novel ends with Kondor 41, Slade 42, and Hastings 43; the second covers Hastings 44 through 95, Kondor 42 through 96, and Brown 1 through 55.
