Beth Jacobs

Dreamers are the individuals who are able to have visions of the past or present. A majority of Dreamers have their visions in their sleep, hence the name "Dreamer". However, it's possible that as their abilities grow stronger that they may begin to have visions while awake. The distance into the future varies, and the visions are usually very cryptic and hard to understand. Humans with this gift, have absolutely no control over it whatsoever. However, outside magical forces can induce visions onto a Dreamer. They are forced to see these visions and choose to act or not to act upon them.

As a level 2 Dreamer, Beth has dreams of the future without any of her own dream world interfering with them. She can make out people's faces in her dreams and while they are still cryptic and slightly blurry, they are easier to understand.

Typically, Beth is the sort of girl who likes to be in the middle of the action. She loves a good mystery and solving a problem, whether it be a simple puzzle to helping a friend with a personal issue. She likes to be involved and she wants to know what's going on. If she knows that there are secrets being kept from her, she tends to get annoyed and offended, and usually takes it personally.

Beth has been an active person all her life and she gets uneasy if she is idle for too long. It doesn't have to be a strenuous activity... a simple walk will do but she is definitely no couch potato. This doesn't mean that she doesn't enjoy a good movie or the occasional sleep-in, but she isn't exactly a healthy eater so she makes sure to be active in order to keep her body looking the way it does.

When it comes to danger, she will gladly risk life and limb for someone she cares about, but is more hesitant when it comes to a stranger to put herself in harm's way. It's not that she won't try to help but there's a difference between pushing someone out from in front of a train and shouting 'Hey look out, there's a train!' She's bold and brave but definitely not suicidal and doesn't have a hero complex.

Beth grew up in an average, all-American household with her mother and the man she believed up until recently to be her father, as well as a younger brother. She had a fairly uneventful childhood... plenty of friends, active lifestyle. She enjoyed a good run of high school popularity because people wanted to be around her not only because she was the cheer captain, but also because she was a warm, easy person to be around. Bethany's mother had done her best to raise her daughter to be an honest, caring, and nurturing individual, and she lived a life that made her parents proud.

Thanks to a cheerleading scholarship, Bethany attended college and eventually obtained an Bachelor's Degree in Forensic Science. It was around this time that her visions started happening. At first, she thought of it as a strange, repetitive dream... always of a young man holding a baby. She dreamed the same dream night after night, and each time the dream was just a bit longer and a bit more revealing. She found it quite strange that she would be dreaming of some stranger and his child that she didn't recognize, until the moment a much younger version of her mother stepped into the scene and kissed the man, taking the baby from him.

Bethany confronted her mother about this, but was told emphatically that it was only a dream, and that she shouldn't worry so much. But something wasn't sitting right with her, and on her next visit to her parents' home, she did some snooping around. On a high shelf in her mother's closet, she found a shoe box full of photos, her birth certificate, and other evidence of her birth father, including a silver cross pendant that she remembered seeing around his neck in her dream. Bethany's mother was forced to come clean about her birth father, including a surely BS story of his traumatic experience in Iraq involving his entire platoon being left dead and drained completely dry of blood, and why she had been separated from him.

Beth put her forensics career on hold and, with her mother's help after some coercing, managed to track down her father. About four or five years ago, she relocated to Crawford City and joined their forensics team in order to build a relationship with him and, to be honest, to try to figure out why he's so secretive about his line of work. What exactly is he hiding?
