Bethlan Thorne was born late in the Third Age to her parents Brock and Eldora Thorne (Formerly Redberry). Her father was a metalsmith, her mother a housewife. When Bethlan was aged thirteen years, in a very cold and perilous winter, her mother died from a fever after becoming stranded in a snowstorm. Bethlan grieved heavily for her mother. She felt she could not turn to her father for help, so she bottled up her feelings.

In her mid teens, Bethlan started to become troublesome. She made what she thought were friends at the time, who got into all manner of mischief. Bethlan committed petty theft. She would steal anything, even if it was of no value to her. She enjoyed the thrill of it all. Eventually things looked bleak for her family and she would steal to help make ends meet.

One thing never changed, however. She always doted on her little brother ten years her junior -Jedley. She loves him more than anything in the world, and played a huge part in his upbringing.

Bethlan in her younger days was of easy virtue. She strived to be loved, wanted, but looked for love in the wrong manner. She would throw herself at any man interested. As the years went on, she gained more confidence in herself and realised she didn't need to go to such lengths to feel of any worth.

In her adulthood she saw the error of her past doings and wiped the slate clean. She no longer steals. Although she still appreciates a good looking man, she shows more restraint. Like her father, she is somewhat skilled in making and repairing small metal objects. She has even been known to create a piece of jewellery or two.
