Overall Personality:
Beth made it this far against all odds, but people still look at her and see weakness. They see someone who's not supposed to be alive, but she's alive and she's living. She won't just survive. She wants to live and make the best with what life has given her. She's resilient and stubborn, but more importantly, she's hope and tenderness. Beth sees in others things that they might have forgotten about themselves or that they might not even think they have in them. She's got empathy. She's got light and one can break down in front of her. She won't judge them. She'll offer compassion and she'll pick them up and try to put their pieces back together; hold them for as long as they need.
She has dreams and most of them are for other people. She wants happiness for those she loves. She wants happiness for herself too, but she can wait. She'll put others before her. She might not be a fighter, but she has the will to defend herself. She has fears and apprehensions, but she'll make her stand and be heard. She won't quit. Not again. That young girl ready to take her own life no longer exists. She wants to survive and live and, she wants to smile and see good things, find good people because they are still out there.
Beth was sheltered and protected for a long time. Blind to the violence of the world outside her home in the safety of the family farm, but that girl grew up. She's not longer a child. She's wise beyond her years. she had to adapt to this life. She's no longer sheltered and she hasn't been one for a long time. She's sweet and kind, though. There's got no bad bone in her, but she won't hesitate to defend herself and those she loves because she knows this is the life they lead now.
She feels alone sometimes. She's gotta a sister whom she loves, but her sister is making a life for herself with someone else and Beth's standing outside of that. Inside and outside at the same time. That's a natural progression of life, isn't it? People grow up and move on. Parents die. She's lonely sometimes, but she doesn't show. She doesn't cry anymore either and, yet, she does because she feels too much. She feels for herself and for others.
Beth wanted the prison to be their home forever. She believed it could be. She wanted her father to find peace there, die in peace there. It was a silly dream, but she's not stupid. Beth knows she'll be gone one day. She knows she has changed, but she hasn't changed enough for the way things are and she's in peace with that. She'll be gone one day, but not today. Everybody expects her to die. Another dead girl. Beth made this far. She had help, true, but she helped others as well. She has lost and she's gained and, she's still fighting. She will still fight for her sister and for her prison family. She'll fight for love and goodness because she has hope. Beth believes in good people. She has light and she can see light where everybody else sees darkness.
History:
Beth was born to Hershel and Annette Greene in Senoia, GA. She grew up in her parents' farm and had a very modest but happy childhood. Beth was the youngest of three children. Her brother Shawn was a few years older and from her mother's previous marriage. There was also Maggie, her bossy big sister, who was from Hershel's previous relationship. Prior to the turn, Beth had a very typical farm girl life. She was brought up in a religious household and attended Church every Sunday where she was part of the choir. She helped her mother in the house and with chores around the farm too. Beth was a devoted student and had a few good friends including Jimmy whom she started dating right before the turn. She wasn't exactly in love with him them but he was kind enough and he was a family friend. It was more or so expected from her to be with him
When the outbreak happened Beth's mother and brother were infected and Hershel insisted they were sick and could be cured. They were kept in the family barn alongside several of their neighbors and friends who turned during the infection. Beth truly believed in her father's words that whatever happened to her family could be reversed. That she would have more time with her mother and brother. It was only when Rick's group came to the farm and she was forced to realize there was no cure and her mother and brothers were in fact dead that the brutal reality of the new world hit her. Until then, Beth had been relatively shielded from the apocalyptic world and she never had the chance to properly grieve her after her mother and brother were bitten because she was hoping they would come back to them. After the barn incident, Beth fell into depression and tried to kill herself, but she pulled out of that darkness and managed to carry on. She had help of course and joining Rick's group on the road helped build her confidence.
She learned a lot during the winter on the road with the group and she bonded with them. They became her family and Beth looked for ways to help out. After Judith was born she stepped in to help out with the baby, but she took upon herself other tasks as well. Beth had taken weapons training at the farm and that continued on the road. She worked the fence at the prison and did other domestic chores too. If there was something needing done Beth didn't mind doing it. The attack at the prison changed again her entire world and the loss of her father served as a turning point in her life. Beth was on her own in a way for the first time - with a surly and angry redneck - and while she remained hopeful that the group would be together again, that others had made out alive, Beth was ready to build on and live on with what she had at her disposal. She was okay being just Daryl and her. It was enough. She simply refused to give up and not only on her sister and brother in law and the others but she refused to give up on this world. There could be more if they just made an effort.
Being taken by the Grady officers and her time at the hospital forced Beth to do things she never thought she would have to in order to survive. She had to use skills she didn't know she had in her, but Beth found out it was necessary to take action and make a stand if she wanted to make it out of there alive. She helped Noah. She killed people. She survived. Grady made Beth harder but it didn't change her essence. She still had hope and kindness in her.
After Noah escaped and Beth was still trapped inside that place she thought for a moment that maybe that was all for her. No one was coming. She had to escape or die trying. Her hopes were renewed when Carol was brought in. That meant her family was close by. They came for her and an exchanged was set up. It worked.
The road to Virginia was harsh, but Beth was happy. She was back with her family; back with the people she loved. Finding Aaron and Alexandria brought a new purpose to Beth. It was strange being back to civilization in a way. She was like a wild animal to those people; she figured they all looked like wild animals. At first, Beth wasn't sure she would be able to adjust at Alexandria. She felt trapped inside. It was all too normal. Surreal. But it seemed safe. It seemed like a good community to start over and Beth was willing to give it a chance after all they just needed a place again, a chance to build a home and build a life together.
She has dreams and most of them are for other people. She wants happiness for those she loves. She wants happiness for herself too, but she can wait. She'll put others before her. She might not be a fighter, but she has the will to defend herself. She has fears and apprehensions, but she'll make her stand and be heard. She won't quit. Not again.

"I hereby declare we have spaghetti Tuesdays every Wednesday"
Beth was picking up sticks to the fire that morning when she caught sight of Carol walking away from the camp with Judy on her back. The group's reunion after Terminus had been emotional and hard too. There seemed to be so many unfinished business, unfinished conversations still lingering in the air, but they couldn't stop to make amends or pour their hearts out. They needed a safe place first and this small camp in the woods still wasn't it.
Everyone seemed to have changed, looked rougher and heavier in a way; Carol included but there was no doubt that the older woman had always loved that baby much like Beth herself. She knew Carol had been through a lot and Beth had yet to wrap her mind around Carol's actions against Karen and David back at the prison. She could understand why Carol thought she had to kill them, but Beth was torn. Karen and David weren't that far gone, just like Glenn wasn't. What if it had been Glenn or Rick, or Daryl? Would Carol still had killed them? Would any of them have forgiven her for that? Or understood?
She put the sticks down near the camp's edge protected by a piece of plastic to keep as dry as possible and darted off after Carol. The weather wasn't looking good and Beth had felt a few raindrops on her arm. Carol shouldn't be going off with a baby by herself. She could need someone to back her up if trouble arose and Beth could do that. She could be that person for her, for Judith too. Plus, Beth didn't have time to alert anyone else; she could lose Carol's trail.
Beth followed the trail to the train tracks and then pushed past them until she saw Carol kill a walker. There were more of them making their way towards Carol and Judy. Rain was falling now, colder and it looked like it would get worse. "Carol?" Beth called although her voice wasn't that loud. No reason to draw more attention to them. Beth's tightened her grip around her knife before she stepped closer to Carol.
"Why are you here by yourself?" Beth asked with honest interest. Her eyes flicked between Carol and a sleepy Judy secured on the baby carrier on the older woman's back. "We should get back to the camp," she suggested. While Beth knew Carol was more than capable of taking care of herself no one should be out here on foot with a baby under the rain.
There was this haunting look in the other woman's eyes and Beth felt her heart being filled with sympathy for her friend. She smiled softly at Carol and drew in a deep breath. "We can also kill a few walkers before we leave. Morning exercise and all that," Beth said with a hint of humor. Yes. It was dangerous and it was raining, but Carol needed this moment and Beth could give it to her.
