If left behind during the Deep Roads Expedition, Bethany will be cast off into the Circle. What eventually befalls Bethany in the story, however, can get pretty complex and is entirely dependent upon key choices in Act 1.

Acts of kindness, supporting mages, and helping family where needed all make her happy, whereas the reverse peeves her. Befriending her is fairly easy and straightforward. A compassionate sister and companion, Bethany possesses a relatively strong command of magic, learned from her father who was also an apostate, and therefore openly opposes Kirkwall's current anti-mage policy. She is the only one of the two siblings who doesn't hold any pre-existing rivalry with Hawke, although she shares the same dislike as Carver of living in Hawke's shadow. Bethany will accompany Hawke to Kirkwall if you play a warrior or rogue.
