♛ Spotted on the Upper East Side…

Name: Bethany Levesque Pronouns: She/Her Age: 20 years old Hometown: Upper East Side, NY Occupation: Sophomore at Harvard University Social Status: Outsider Faceclaim: Jessica Sula

Who Is Beth?

“If there’s so much I must be, can I still just be me, the way I am? Can I trust in my own heart or am I just one part of some big plan.”

Bethany Levesque, whatever happened to you not wanting to be in the spotlight? I thought you were firmly against indulging in the lifestyle of your former classmates? Firmly against being the name on everyone’s lips. Look at you now! There was time when I had to explain to my dearest followers who you even were and now I’m seeing you on the arm of an actor? We really need to catch up. You’ve always been quick to judge and make your opinions known (I can relate). Honesty and integrity still mean something to you. You’re determined to be your own person even with the world’s most involved (read: controlling) mom. You’ve learned how to compromise, how to be smart with your arguments and what you really care about. You’ve learned how to play the game without ever meaning to. Well, save me an autograph, won’t you? XOXO ---Gossip Girl

A Little Extra

Beth always kept herself to herself, preferring to be a fly on the wall and stay firmly out of the drama. She unfortunately had to bear witness to more than a few meltdowns, betrayals and fights between her former classmates and it only solidified her judgements on them. Sure, Beth can be a little harsh and she’s not big on second chances (although, she is trying to be better). For Beth, getting into college and starting to make her own money, was the way out for her. The road to independence even if she’d never truly be free of her mom’s expectations. She’s always been smart, preferring to spend Saturday nights with a good book or bailing on a date to work on an extra credit project. It was all about the college applications, thank you very much. Romance, dating, drama- none of it really appealed to her. Sure, she might like to have someone one day but they were really going to have to be spectacular to live up to her own expectations. Hazel Levesque- her mom- had other ideas though.

It wasn’t enough that Beth was getting the grades or putting in the work, her mom wanted her to care more about her reputation. About what she wore, how much makeup she put on, who she was seen to be on a date with. You can’t win every fight so Beth would go on dates with other rich people who were nothing short of mind numbing. It would be torture for a couple of hours but it would get her mom off her back. And then the cycle would start up again. It could be utterly exhausting, you know? She never really liked anyone she went on a date with either until one very unexpected set up with Frankie Vives. It was like for one night they both just got to be themselves without the pressure and sure, she liked him. Once he dropped the bluster and BS, of course. Now, that was supposed to be the end of it or so Beth thought. The next thing she knew, her mom was raving about the positive attention her baby dating Frankie Vives was giving them and somewhere on the other side of town, Frankie’s agent was doing the same. Before Beth could protest, it was too late. The whole world had decided that Beth and Frankie were the new ‘IT couple’ and there was no getting out of it. At least, not for a while. So much for a drama free life, right?

What Does Gossip Girl Have On Them?

Beth never even read Gossip Girl when she was at her height of terror and doesn’t intend to start now. GG surely has nothing on her because guess what? Beth minds her own business!

Connections

Samuel Watts - childhood best friend! Beth and Sam’s parents were BFF growing up as well so there was really no escaping each other. She loves him but she will judge him.

Amber and Gracie Watts - Sam’s siblings! They also all grew up in each other’s lives. They’re practically Beth’s siblings too.

Frankie Vives - the accidental boyfriend. Well, ‘fake’ boyfriend. They’re dating in the eye of the public for the moment but it’s not real. It’s not. And that is fine!

Blair Waldorf - Blair Waldorf was everything Beth hated about the Upper East Side and Constance Billard. Blair was the worst and Beth still holds onto that resentment (because she’s right!).
