*** About the Characters ***

BETHANY -Sixteen years old when she gets the job as Lydia's personal maid, Bethany is a tall, heavy, slow moving girl, fair haired and blue eyed.   Maybe not the brightest sheep in the flock, but passionately (and sometimes fiercely!) loyal to her mistress, Bethany nurtures a secret love for EISEN that may prove to be her undoing.  When not at Hierath Castle she lives with her mother Jerrah and numerous brothers, including PADRAIG/ETHAN.
