When Thalia plunged into despair after their father died, Bethany stepped up to the plate. She was the oldest functioning Hawke sibling for three months, and in that tiime she made connections. Taking Varric's suggestion of hunting down a former Grey Warden, an apostate named Anders, Bethany and her younger siblings sought out the infamous healer of Darktown. What they found was not what they were expecting. A selfless healer, a sympathizer of the mage cause, and an avid hater of templars who loved cats, was the type of man they had to do a favor for to get maps for a good entrance into the Deep Roads. Not exactly what Bethany had in mind that morning as she went to collect Varric from the Hanged Man. After attempting to help Anders free his friend Karl, then slaughtering the templars that had surrounded the party and the tranquil mage, the healer grieved for about a day, then paid up with the maps and some spare coin. Having grown fond of the healer over the short period of time she'd known him for, Bethany invited the other apostate to join their merry band of misfits. Anders accepted, but warned her that he had his duties as a healer to attend to most of the time. And he did. She didn't see him much, except for when she needed a quick potion or two and Lady Elegant was unable to do business. Slowly, ever so slowly, the coin began to flow again for the Hawke family. While they were far from the fifty sovereigns Varric said Bartrand was after, the seventeen sovereigns were the result of two months of scrimping and saving. While Garrett worked tirelessly for Meeran, earning the respect of many of the mercenaries in and around Kirkwall, Athenril came through with jobs galore. Smuggle lyrium to a secluded cave on the Wounded Coast. Eradicate a camp of Tevinter slavers infringing on her territory. Negotiate with the Coterie over rights to smuggle through Darktown. There was no shortage of things to do, and then one day a light appeared at the end of the tunnel for the party. Thalia simply appeared in battle, seemingly from nowhere; jumping down from rooftops, busting out of crates, sliding out of the shadows, fighting then disappearing right before the battle ended. Ashamed of herself for making her siblings work so hard while she did nothing, the eldest Hawke sibling pulled all-nighters and made risky connections. In another two months, Bethany was pleased to see her older sister back in the business, and even more pleased to see their stash of sovereigns grow from seventeen to thirty. Finally the Hawke siblings paid off their debt to Flemeth: meeting Marethari, being joined by Merrill, and having an image of the witch pop out of the amulet on top of the mountain. After settling the elf into Kirkwall's alienage, Bethany gladly followed Thalia to Lowtown for a task a dwarf had for them.
