Bethany Vann

'  Can you heal me? Have I gained too much? When you become untouchable, you 're unable to touch. Is there a real me? Pop the champagne. It hurts me just to think and I don't do pain. '

Bethany Beth Vann, is a Clans Roleplay character on the Clans Roleplay Discord Server. She was formely rped on and off during her time in the rp. She was introduced in the Kokoro Spirit Arc, along with her sister Devon. Her status was unknown before she was revealed to be walking around NYC by herself, questioning her own sanity. She didn't die along with the rest of her relatives (apart from her nephew, August and her cousin, Aphrodite), Devon, Wisteria. and Thyra. Beth is also affected by the curse of her family the most, since she has to endure the deaths of all of her closest family members. However, she's the strongest member of the Luna family remaining, ready to overcome any challanges that life thrusts upon her.

Appearance
Beth Vann is definitely above average height in Romania, 5'2, Beth being 6'1, very tall like the rest of her family. She has a harsh-looking face, looking as though she's about to destroy anyone in her way. Beth still has acne spots from her early teenhood, since she was very affected by them, but she never took care of her own face due to not caring about her appearance and being on the run for several years, so her own appearance was and continues to be Beth's last priority overall.

She has shoulder-length, chestnut-brown hair with an uneven fringe hanging over her head, the hairstyle she kept throughout all of her life and despises seeing herself with long hair, as it reminds her of the burden she has to carry, now the head of the Luna family, since the deaths of all of her relatives and keeping Devon's promise of staying strong. As she looks like Devon anyway, she doesn't want to remind herself of her sister, so she continues to cut her hair short to avoid such instances of shame, and the confusion of others.

Bethany looks older than she is, due to the amount of stress she went through her entire life. While being 17, she looks 27, 10 years older than she actually is. This causes people to believe that she is older than Devon, even if Devon was the older sister, being 8 years older than Beth, which annoys Beth to the maximum. She has heart-shaped lips, heavy-lidded, almond-shaped eyes and very angular eyebrows which further accentuates her furious, life-hating expression.

In terms of fashion, Bethany never cares and still doesn't care about how she dresses. She never wears dresses, hating the way they look on her, and thinking that dresses are way too girly for her more tomboy aesthetic. She never follows fashion trends and would rather wear a t-shirt and a pair of old jeans than wear a formal dress. The only dress that she enjoys wearing is her traditional Romanian dress, which in her childhood, she wore with pride. She also likes wearing jean-jackets, sports bras and joggers, but her style is mainly quite plain and nothing to extravegant, compared to the style of her cousin, Thyra, the antonym of Beth, who conitnued to wear long, elaborate dresses straight from the 1800s. However, Beth is often experiementational with her style as she costantly doubts whether her previous dressing choices were mistakes. Beth now has collarbone-length, platinum-blonde hair, because of a spell she accidentally did during a nap. She's currently wearing a black tank top and a pair of her favourite jeans with some Adidas trainers. She also has a rose-gold nose piercing and wears a rose-gold chocker, which was given to her by her older sister Devon. She only wears necklaces that are from Devon, finding them the prettiest and no other pieces of jewlery can ever replace them. She is wearing lipgloss and a slightly faint eyeshadow.

Personality
Unlike her sister, Devon, and like her cousin, Thyra, Beth lacks compassion and the ability to sympathise with people, and she doesn 't have the motherly kindness that Devon had. Beth matured too quickly, and rapidly grew her fighter attitude. Never hesitant or afraid to pick fights, Beth was known as the Luna's Greatest Fighter by other spellcaster families. She loves making people cry, and overall feel negativity, since making fun of people made her feel good about herself, a feeling which she rarely experienced, though she always got a slap on the wrist from Devon because of this. Beth was always fascinated by manipulation, and became great at mind tricks, always tricking her sister, Devon, into doing Beth' s biding, who was too oblvious to be able to tell that Beth was using her little mind tricks, which during rp, she never actually used, due to having absolutely no reason to do so. Initially, Beth appears extremely selfish, cynical, very uncooperative, exploitative and confrontational, however, to her family, she reveals a rather affectionate side of herself, who just wanted love and attention from the family that were known as the Cursed. Beth only had 1 friend, the sister of Louise Chantelle, Bianca Chantelle, and the girls were always up to mischief during their early years. Another reason why she never made many friends, was because she was overly mature since her parents' untimely deaths, and Beth is very far from being a frivolous person.

Always worried about the Cursed status and the rumours of the several deaths in her family, Beth was always worried about her family, in particular Devon, and Wisteria. who were both extremely outgoing and carefree compared to Beth. She was the one who pulled them back from doing completely idiotic things, despite Beth herself doing the same things, making her seem a bit hypocritical. Beth is far from a day-dreamer, and never fell in love or felt any romantic attraction to anyone, which made her realise that she's aromantic, and her realisation of being a lesbian came a little later. Beth always refuses to open up to anyone, even her family, afraid to offend them, anger them, or the situation could lead to abandonment, Beth's worst fear of all time. She likes watching the sunrise, thinking it's pretty, and loves star-gazing, one of the only non-violent interests of Beth's, who's usually into fighting, if not watching fights.

She also looked up to Yua Anzai, Devon's friend, who she didn't meet until much later. She liked hearing the descriptions of her, and thought she seemed quite cool, and heard Devon's story that Yua enjoyed archery. Beth liked the sound of it, but never actually took up the activity herself, and is better at hand-to-hand combat. Beth is sometimes seen as insane, regularly snapping. Her magic can get out of control, making her even stronger than before. She's hard to convince and to calm down when angry. She is extremely secretive, and she hasn't ever revealed her evil streak to anyone in her life, even Devon. She has always been scared of snapping, and causing several deaths when she did. Bethany hasn't gone insane since her sister's and cousins' deaths. Beth is secretely more afraid, and is very afraid of death, despite being far from cautious and caring about herself or anybody else. Beth has eventually gotten over the fear of her sister, and is feeling better since her introduction. Secretely, she's very good with children. This is seen when Beth meets Amilite Ceros's children when she reunited with Christa. She believes that children are innocent people, and do not deserve to be harmed. Unlike her own, saddening childhood, she wants other children to have a much better start to life than herself. When around people she trusts, Beth is sometimes very affectionate and different to her usual dreary, lousy self.

Only smiley to her loved ones, Bethany has a warmer interior, rather than her cold, agitated exterior. She's been trying to take a different approach to life, being much happier and more fun-loving. Beth is secretly quite a foodie, and doesn't really have a favourite food in particular, apart from ice cream, which she used to adore during her early childhood and still does now. Even though she's trying her best to take a different approach, Beth is still afraid of her insanity, and tries her best to keep it a secret from anyone, fearing that they'll abandon her. Beth can also be an eccentric comedian, talented at sensing other people's emotions and loves taunting them for it. Bethany is cocky, careless and reckless, with no sense of right and wrong. She often says too much, especially information that she thinks that somebody needs to know. Beth isn't very intelligent due to her lack of education after she had to leave school at the age of eleven. She loves coming up with different nicknames for people, especially friends or acquaintances.

History
Bethany Anamaria Vann was born to Callum Vann and Daciana Luna-Vann, and had an older sister, Devon. Beth's parents died not long after her birth, meaning that she never got to know her parents. She was raised by her aunt, Deja Luna until she was 11 years old. Devon helped Beth through tough times and was an extremely significant figure in Beth's life. People were scared of her from the beginning, developing her tough attitude from a very young age. She only made one friend, Bianca Chantelle (the sister of Louise Chantelle, an old friend of Devon), and Bianca remains the only person who Beth managed to properly open up to, perhaps apart from Devon, and later, Christa.

At the tender age of 11, Beth's life changed forever. Her cousin, Wisteria, was found supposedly dead, killed by the council. Neither Beth nor Devon were aware that Wisteria made it out alive, and her clone was the one who was murdered. Beth didn't find this out until 6 years later, when she met Wisteria again for a few seconds. Her education was cut short and she was taught by Devon from that moment on. Devon and Beth had to be forced into hiidng, as Devon killed one of the councilors. Now seen as criminals, the sisters had no choice but to continue to search for a new home. This goal was never achieved until about 6 years later. Beth used to be plagued by several illnesses during her life, and came closer to death every time she became ill. Devon helped her every time, and isn't troubled by them anymore, though fears that she'll get ill once again.

When Bethany was 15, a woman called Morrigan Hallowes kidnapped Beth and experimented on her as she was aware of Beth's abilities, better than Devon, or Beth herself. She dreamed that her and Beth would be the strongest spellcasters of the ages, and by triggering Beth's feral abilities, Beth would lose control and kill Devon. Unsuccessfully trying to brainwash Bethany, Morrigan challanged Devon by telling her that she could tell Beth her last goodbyes. What she meant, though, was to speeden up the feral proccess. In the end, Morrigan was successful and Beth went feral for the first time. Unfortunately for Morrigan, Beth broke from her chains and snapped Morrigan in half with no shame.

After that event, Devon dubbed her little sister as the 'Luna Clan's Control Devil', a title which Beth carried on with immense amounts of pride. They continued to roam the forests of New York, never finding themselves a place to truly call home. During this time, Beth started to want fancy the idea of changing her surname from Vann to Luna. Once presenting the idea to Devon, she was thoroughly rejected by her elder sister and was lectured to be ashamed of the Luna Clan, something that Beth would never listen to.

Roleplay Story
Beth and Devon met Amilite Ceros, and her sister Christaline, who is about her age. Ami offered for them to stay at her and Christa's place. During the walk to Ami's house, Beth and Christa got to know each other, and Beth developed a crush on Christa, her first crush that Beth also never really got over that much. Beth was almost always seen around Devon during the Kokoro Spirit Arc, and even when Devon and Yua reunited. Beth was also there when Devon was shot in the chest by Louise Chantelle, and when she died. Beth, not ready to give up on her sister's life who did so much for her, and told Yua that her blood could help her resurrect Devon, and she agrees. Beth's spell and Yua's blood brought Devon back, and Beth disappeared for a little while. She saw her cousin Wisteria for a couple of seconds, before she went off with Taro and the gangs.

Beth met Christa again for a brief period of time, still not over her. Beth disappeared again, wandering around since she had nothing better to do. During that time, she questioned herself and her abilities, whether she was insane or not. She was wandering around the city where she met Jupiter, who she was able to tell that he was a spellcaster too. They talked for a bit, Jupiter explaining his curse to her, and how it's uncurable. Beth insisted that nothing is too impossible. However, it seemed like Jupiter didn't want her help, and she walked off again, wondering if she wasted her time. She skipped into the forest, happier than before. She found a sword (which actually belongs to Houtarou, but she doesn't know this), and decided to take it with her, thinking that if the owner left the sword there, than they must've finished with it.

In a bar, she met Aphrodite, (who is actually her long-lost cousin, Wisteria's sister, that had been taken away and brainwashed by the corrupted part of the council years earlier), and Beth disliked her from their very first conversation, noticing that the woman is very full of herself. They insult each other while Aphrodite drinks, and Beth asks her who she is, since she has the audacity to insult her that way about her appearance. Aphrodite told Beth her name, but questioned her about what her name is. Bethany told her that she won't put up with her nonsense, standing up and leaving the bar. As Beth left though, Aphrodite adressed her as  Little Cousin , engraging Beth, calling the woman a liar. Aphrodite asked her what she knew, and Beth replied that she knows more than her.

After waking up from a nap, Beth looked in the mirror and saw that her hair colour has changed. Panicking, she thought that all of it was a simple dream, but after blinking, she realised that this is her new look, even if she freaked out over how she looked, being exactly the way she wanted. She decided to go outside for a walk to calm her down and take a breath of fresh air. During that walk, she caught a glimpse of Christa and Ami's triplets, and tried to get Christa's attention. Successful in that, Beth and Christa once again reunited, and Beth noticed the triplets, asking if they were Ami's. She ruffled their hair and smiled at them, glad that they liked her. Christa told her that she didn't know that Beth is good with kids. Beth explained that her parents died soon after her birth, and never really had much of a childhood, being raised by Devon, so Beth wanted other children to have a much better start to their lives than she did. Christa apologised for bringing it up.

Beth decided to go shopping, needing some groceries because she was running out. After returning home, she decided to go for a walk, carrying the sword with her. She later encountered a factory, where the gangs were fighting. She chose to enter, and immediately a man that tried to go after her to kill her. Because of her inexperiences, she had a disadvantage compared to the others. She met Feyre Everin, who she recognised as her cousin, Wisteria's killer, and their relationship didn't start off particularly well. Until Beth chose to fight, she was pinned to the floor, reasonably calm but knew that she had to play her cards well. Beth decided to join the fight, and went feral, something that she didn't do in ages. Feyre offered a temporary allience, which Beth agreed to, and she started killing immediately.

After Feyre's outburst of flames, and most people in the factory falling asleep, Beth met Amell Bonnet, who she slightly recognised him from Wisteria's memories. She explained who she is, her connection to Wisteria, and Wisteria's son, August, stating where he is and giving more information about him and Wisteria. After Amell decided to wake Feyre up, Beth welcomes her back to the world, acting as if nothing had happened. She notices Amell's crush on Feyre, and teases him for it, starting to sing Twilight by Boa. They continued their conversation, until Feyre approached them asking how neither fell asleep, Beth deciding to remain quiet on the matter, sensing that it was supposed to be a moment between her and Amell.

Abilities
In terms of magical ability, Beth was always far, far stronger than the rest of her family, especially Devon. While Devon was more interested in potions, Beth is more interested in curses, and is good at manipulating them, grossing out Devon, who preferred to focus on light, innocent magic. Physically, she's quite brawny, practising combat since childhood, therefore having a lot of power both magically and combat-wise.

Curse Manipulation - Beth has high reserves of cursed magical energy inside of her, due to the amount of negative emotions building up inside of her, causing her magic to manifest in the form of curses. Beth is an expert on manipulating it, however, she never used cursed magic on anybody, in fear of being corrupted. When snapping and her magic gets out of control, the cursed magic is unleashed.

Hand-To-Hand Combat - Beth is good at combat, being her main hobby since she was a little girl. She's naturally very strong, and has very hard punches and can win fights with ease.

Mind Manipulation - Due to not using the ability while on the run, Beth used to forget the mind tricks that she used when she was younger. She used to have an interest of the human mind, and these tricks were the result of that particular interest. Lately, she did continue to use these for fun, which unfortunately led to the demises of 34 people, however nobody knows that Beth was the one who killed them.

Family Connection - Beth used her family connection to discover her sister's and her cousins' deaths. The family connection is also how she found out about her nephew, Wisteria's son, and is currently trying to track the boy down, seeing that he's in an orphanage. She cannot really use that power anymore, since her and her nephew are the last Lunas remaining, and Aphrodite's connection was blocked since birth.

Appearance Change - Like all of the Lunas before and after her, Beth has the ability to change her appearance at will. However, she hasn't discovered this ability until she woke up from a nap with blonde hair. The rest of the Lunas, apart from Beth and Wisteria Luna-Harrison, haven't discovered this ability.

Alchemy - During their time on the run. Devon managed to teach Beth how to brew potions, in case of extreme danger, or Beth's illness acted up again. Beth never had in interest in alchemy and thinks of it as a waste of time, but has a few potions she made at home, just in case things get worse.

Languages - Apart from English and her native Romanian, she has learned Spanish during her time at school. She hasn't fully mastered Spanish however, due to her lack of focus on the class and her disinterest in learning foreign languages or learning about the world's different cultures.

Reflexes - Bethany has very good reflexes, being able to dodge things and people with ease. She's great at deflecting things. Her reflexes are naturally very advanced, compared to the rest of her family.

Feral State - As all individualls from the Luna Clan can do, Beth has the ability to go feral. Unlike the majority of her family members, Beth is able to control her feral state incredibly well and becomes a ruthless killer within seconds. Her ability is the strongest out of the entire Luna Clan.

Devon Vann
Devon was Bethany's elder sister. She was Beth's whole world, and Devon gave Beth inspiration and cared for her extremely deeply. Devon was the only person from her family that Beth had nothing against. They went through situations of life and death together, and formed a bond of mutual respect and admiration. Beth's maturity helped Devon tempt herself away from the path of evil, and Devon's sisterly love kept Beth away from the life of crime for a long time, until Devon's death. Beth also has Devon's final letter to Yua, which she has read, and is trying to figure out how to send it over without interception. Misses her a lot and regrets not being able to talk to her one last time and be there for her enough when Devon needed her. Most of Beth's jewlery once belonged to Devon, or Devon gave her. Devon practically lives on in the jewlery, and in the final letter, but they can't speak telepathically anymore like they used to when they were apart. Before she used to fear Devon, but now she views Devon as weak, as a way to stop herself from feeling weak over her sister.

Thyra Vann
Thyra was Beth's favourite cousin and was deeply saddened by her death, almost as saddened as she was with Devon. They had a mutual love for violence, and they bonded over their love of watching fights. Thyra was an inspiration to Beth, and Beth loved her dearly, more like a sister rather than a cousin. Thyra admired Beth for her strength, and Beth admired Thyra for her confidence. Thyra was an important inspiration in Bethany's life. Thyra was also the only person who called her by her full name, Bethany.

Wisteria Luna-Harrison
Wisteria and Beth had a very complicated relationship from the very beginning. Wisteria's recklessness and lack of the ability to control herself exasperated Beth for years, and Beth always held a grudge towards Wisteria, also because of her jealousy of Wisteria's strikingly doll-like appearance. When Bethany discovered that Wisteria was actually alive, and wasn't killed after all, Beth was enraged, feeling betrayed that her own cousin sent her and her sister into hiding for years without showing her face in around 6 years. Beth was the first person from her family to discover that Wisteria had a son, and attempted to track him down one time and continues to do so, in case of the boy's father (Beth has his sword as well) never finding him.

Christaline Ceros
Beth likes Christa, thinking that she was very pretty and sweet. Christa was the first person that Beth managed to sympathise with, and felt very close to Christa. Beth was forced to leave the forest due to the dangers, being the second to last Luna. She never saw Christa after that, and wonders if she's alright or not. She still has feelings for Christa, and hasn't gotten over her, hoping they can meet again. While Beth was on a walk they met again, Beth realising on the way that she never got over Christa. Beth knew Christa's secret of killing Ami's boyfriend, but didn't see her any differently. Beth isn't afraid to show her true colours around her and trusts her completely. Wants her to live a life that she's proud of and happy with. Would love to see her again, but feels that Christaline would be ashamed of who Beth has become.

Bianca Chantelle
Bianca was Bethany's childhood best friend. She was also Beth's only friend during her childhood, since she wasn't very sociable. They bonded over their parents dying at a young age and being raised by their older sisters (Beth by Devon and Bianca by Louise). Beth never liked Bianca's sister, Louise, however, finding her cold-hearted and intimidating, even for her. Bianca always called Beth by her middle name, Anamaria, and Beth always called Bianca by her middle name, Lucille. Bianca's status remains unknown, since Beth never saw her again after a brief meeting in the forest during her time on the run. Beth still owns a friendship bracelet which Bianca made and never took it off during her time on the run.

Feyre Everin
Beth's relationship with Feyre did not start well, recognising her as Wisteria's killer from her inherited memories. After seeing how strong she is, however, Beth decided to be on her side as an ally rather an enemy. The two came to an agreement and fought in the factory on the same side (however Beth had no idea what she was fighting for exactly). Beth was willing to brush the fact that Feyre killed Wisteria to aside, wanting to ensure her own increased survival rate. She's annoyed with Feyre at times as Beth believes that Feyre sees her only as a chess piece, not a human being. Due to an agreement with Amell, Beth doesn't want to hurt Feyre, despite her brain constantly telling her to do so.

Amell Bonnet
Beth trusts Amell, especially since he saved her from the fumes and slightly knew him from Wisteria's inherited memories. She explained her own situation to him, as she did Wisteria's and August's and is willing to help him achieve his goals, wanting to prove herself loyal. Thinks he's a good person at heart and admires him as he is also a clan leader.
