brief history:
beth grew up around dogs. when she was born her grandma (nana) already owned a small kennels right on the outskirts of hickstead town, quite close to the stables in fact. it wasn't a huge property, a converted barn for the dogs, and a second barn for a couple of horses that she owned along with her grandpa. there were a couple of fields surrounding them - not as large as the stables but plenty enough land for it to feel like a secluded corner of the world for the sparks family. they already had a son of two years when beth had been born, but they'd been happy with a second child and chosen to have no more after that...even when drake came along a year later. they were pretty close as siblings- beth and adam, and he looked after his little sister quite happily, and when drake came along the three siblings were practically inseparable.

the three of them grew up on the kennels, helping their parents and grandparents to feed and walk the dogs, getting more responsibility as they grew older. their father wanted them to take on the kennels when it came to his retirement, and whilst beth adored the dogs and had no wish to venture further in the world than their little land, adam and drake had bigger plans and let beth take the lead in learning how to deal with the place. he wanted a better education, to go and see the world and learn more about what was out there. many arguments arose from his wants of course as he got older and told his parents what he wanted from life, but they conceded and beth took on much of the place to help her dad once he got older. when the three of them were all still young - beth had been ten at the time - their parent's died in a tragic accident. it was hard on all of them, but in fact all three of them banded together and got through.

at nineteen, beth met a guy. his name was ryan and whilst independent, she'd always been a rather sweet natured woman who fell a little too easily. twenty at the time, ryan had come in search of a dog companion and instead left with not only a gorgeous red setter by the name of ruby, but also the owner of the kennels, daughter's phone number. they went on several dates but it wasn't long before they were admitting to being madly in love and suddenly she was pregnant, and they were set upon marriage. a few months later he proposed to her, and within a few months they were married - both had wanted a simple wedding, beth had never been materialistic. her nana had been difficult to persuade, she hadn't liked ryan very much but she'd simply shrugged and kept to herself.

for a few months they were happy, incredibly loved up, wondering about a family one day, everything in joint names. then ryan started to get a little.. power hungry. she didn't know what changed in him, perhaps it was the police officer in him that made him change, but he became a harder man, and whilst he never really hurt her, sometimes he could be a little rough and he scared her. he could be controlling too, and she didn't like it. after months and months of fighting she managed to get a divorce from him, and the two were divorced within six months of their marriage. heartbroken, beth had settled back at home and thrown herself into taking over the kennel's completely from her nana, raising her son as a single parent even with her ex's occasional support, hiding how much the ordeal with ryan had burnt her, but slowly in time she began to heal and whilst she never truly forgave him, especially whenever he called round out of 'duty' he said, she could not deny that she still felt there was someone out there for her...

overall personality:
she's a pretty easy person to get along with - beth's always been a rather sweet girl, the one who always has something nice to say about everyone. she's light-hearted and easy going, with a rather spirited personality in the sense that she loves to be out doing something; walking, working, hacking the horses.. honestly she's happy doing anything so long as she's not sitting around bored. she's usually rather upbeat and optimistic, someone who can quite easily keep a smile on her face throughout the day. she's quite an adventurer sometimes, and likes to let her curiosity get the better of her at times, but if you're happy to go with the flow often you might find something unexpected.

of course being a woman running a business and having had a bit of a difficult husband - now ex - she's got a slightly tougher side. generally she's friendly and all but on occasion if you present yourself as someone distrusting or shady she might get suspicious and back away a little; only cause she's scared of getting hurt again, but nonetheless if you can prove yourself as a decent person she'll get along with you just fine. sometimes she can be a little strong willed and stubborn, but not that often and actually she's quite vulnerable and she even likes a guy taking after her, not like some women who hate being looked after. she's a sucker for romance and classic movies and novels and the like, and she's rather easy to please. all in all she's got a rather sunny disposition, and though she's been hurt if you can prove yourself it doesn't take her long to really open her heart and fall in love...
