<strong>Name:</strong>Bethany Smithson<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>27<br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><br/><strong>Crew Role:</strong>Pilot<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>Bethany is of average height at 5'7'', but her body is far from standard. She is very feminine, not something out of a beauty contest or a rival for a Companion, but good looking in the best sense. She is delicately curvacious in the right places, but still has the athletically slender body of a woman who does not lead a straight and narrow life. She has green eyes, framed by a pretty face and short auburn hair.<br/>(http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r60/KristieAndreaParker/short-auburn-layers.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong>Bethany was born on Boros to a wealthy upper-class family. Her parents jointly owned a large scrap-metal company with multiple contracts with the Alliance. Growing up around rusted ship hulls and parts, she soon developed a small obsession with starships, and with that, flying them. She frequently watched starships leaving the ports of Boros and desperately wanting to leave the junkyard planet, as she called it. She had an easy life, but didn't think she had much to look forward too on Boros, aside from either marrying young or selling scrap metal.<br/><br/>As soon as she was of age, she hooked up with the Alliance and was glad to finally leave, experiencing space for the first time from the cockpit of a support vessel in the war against the Indepents.<br/>During the war, Bethany primarily flew transport or supply ships and never saw direct combat, though she was in a few battles and even earned a commendation for using her transport ship to evacuate wounded in a rather daring rescue. But, as the war concluded, Bethany had quickly grown sour of the Alliance and some of the more inexcusable ways they had won the war.<br/><br/>With no intention of going back home, she left the Alliance after the war ended and quickly set out on her own, piloting a dozen different ships since and never staying with one crew for too long. They either did stuff she disapproved of, or were too strict, or careless, for her liking.<br/><br/>Bethany is a bit of a goof, and tends to be somewhat awkward though clearly she knows alot about piloting starships, mostly through experience. She is very cocky and perhaps overconfident, but with good reason. Despite that, she's self aware, and knows she can handle almost everything yet isn't afraid to mention she might not be able to do something, and still tends use sarcasm in tense situations, usually to the awe of her captains.<br/><br/>http://www.hairlover.com/short-auburn-layers.jpg (http://www.hairlover.com/short-auburn-layers.jpg)
