Bethany Hawke

Bethany Hawke is Hawke's younger sister and Carver's fraternal twin. Bethany is an apostate mage; she received her magical training from her father, who was also an apostate.

She will accompany Hawke at the beginning of the game and is at least a temporary companion.

Appearance
Bethany will have one of several facial structures and hair styles, depending on which preset the player starts character creation with. Furthermore, her skin tone will also be matched with Hawke's, while her hair color will always be black to prevent clash of dark skin and fair hair. The same applies for Carver and Leandra. During the Dragon Age 2 Demo, it is seen that when the story is being recounted by Varric at first, Bethany's bust size is considerably larger than when he is forced to tell a more realistic version.

Quotes

 * (Bethany's first line in the game after she examines a dead Hurlock) "Scouts...we will have to fight them sooner or later."
 * (Said to Wesley after he tells her to keep her distance, knowing she's an apostate) "Well, the Maker has a sense of humor. Darkspawn, and now a templar. I thought they all abandoned Lothering!"

Trivia

 * Jennifer Hepler wrote Bethany for Dragon Age 2.
 * Bethany is related to the human Warden from the Magi Origin through her mother, whose maiden name is Amell.


 * Bethany will live in the Amell estate along with her eldest sibling, and mother Leandra.
 * In her codex page, it is revealed that she was a lot closer to the eldest sibling than Carver. It can also be noted that she was afraid of the idea of a mage Hawke who embraces the idea of being a mage faster than her, as Bethany wanted a normal life for herself.
 * Bethany and Carver seem to be the only companions that do not have their own unique specialization.
