In 2153, Bethany was a teacher who lived on a Skagaran planet in the Delphic Expanse. A descendant of the humans who had been abducted from Earth and forced to work as slaves for the Skagarans, Bethany was three quarters human and a quarter Skagaran.
Bethany disagreed with many of the laws that the humans had made when they had finally managed to overcome their Skagaran masters. In particular, she believed that Cooper Smith had been a murderer and butcher, killing Skagarans ruthlessly and eventually making restrictive laws so that the Skagarans could never enslave the humans again.
Although teaching Skagaran children was illegal, Bethany taught outside at night. Some of her students were Yral and Kret. Following changes in human law, Bethany was able to teach Skagaran and human children together, inside. (ENT: "North Star")
