I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death.”

Beth Patterson:
Age: 17
Beth is beautiful, there’s no doubt about that. But she’s also extremely strange, so strange that nobody knows what to think of her. In actuality, she’s just too shy to try to make friends, and her beliefs are a little off. You see, Beth believes in magic. She is a witch, or so she thinks. She hasn’t told anyone yet, but you can see little signs everywhere: wax drippings in her locker, scars on her hands and arms. Problem is, nobody looks hard enough at this girl, hard enough to see that she has a real mental problem. With some help, maybe she could become normal. Until then, Beth will continue sneaking out at midnight, drawing pentagrams in the dirt.

[ Questions ]
Have you been in Twin Peaks long?
Oh no, my family used to travel all the time because of my father’s job. My mom decided we needed to stay behind so we could have a ‘normal life’ and I could make some friends (not that it has worked, anyway). But that’s how I got landed in Twin Peaks. It’s all right though, I like the woods. It’s a good place to practice...
How did you know Laura Palmer? Did you like her?
I only saw her around the halls, but I had heard enough about her. She seemed nice enough; I wish she would still be alive even if we weren’t friends at all. I’m sure there could be something to help in my book... that’s more advanced stuff, though... It’s not good to temper with the dead.
Tell us about your family life.
It’s very average. Just me and mom for now, my father’s away so I don’t see him much anymore. He's a historian, you see, so he gets to travel a lot. He still calls, so that’s nice. I do miss going on journeys with him, though. We used to wander into abandoned places and old libraries. He would let me keep all the books and objects I wanted; it’s made for quite a good collection... Anyway, no siblings to speak of. Not that I need them, I’m fine on my own.
What are your words to live by?
“Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve,” is one of my favourite phrases, because it’s true. One could do absolutely anything they wanted, if they did.
Do you want to find Laura's killer?
Yeah, of course; I’ll let the police and investigators do their job, obviously, but I’d like to find out some stuff for myself. I’m just curious, things have been weird lately. Not just the people in town, my candles will blow off at night, and I’ll hear strange noises in the woods... It all seems very suspicious.
How are you feeling?
Well I’m obviously sad that Laura’s gone, but more than sad, I’m shocked. It’s weird not seeing her every day, you know? She had a very strong presence, I wish I had that. I don’t fear for my family, though. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, if anyone comes looking for trouble...

I imagine her as someone who has a lot of opnions and likes to ramble quite a bit but doesn't have anyone to speak to, just for the fact that she has never been used to long-term interaction with other poeple her age. Also, someone who is quite loony, speaks to herself in public, etc. :) As for her approach to magic, well I have a good idea about how I'd like her to act. Quite a fun character to portray.
So I hoped you liked Beth. I have things in mind for her, and I'm acutally quite excited for this to get started :)
Also, yay for Harry Potter quotes!
@the-clary-project So I belive we're supposed to tag you in our audition sets :)
