Virtues:

Patient – Part of being a young girl of faith means that Bethany has to be patient, as she is constantly dealing with lost souls losing faith, troubled teens that don’t wish to be helped, as well as contending with her own troubles. Patience is needed when dealing with such things, and Bethany is in no hurry to get things done. She understands that sometimes, wounds don’t need medicine or bandages, but time to heal, and Bethany is willing to wait as long as possible for an opening to present itself. This helps her both in the church and classroom, and in battle, as she will often wait for the opponent to make the first mistake and will capitalize on that. She will hold her ground and wait for the golden opportunity to present itself, before moving in with slow, methodical and well-calculated approaches, which can work great in her favor, though perhaps at the nerve of her allies or enemies. "Slow and Steady Wins the Race." That is Bethany's mantra.

Nurturing – Bethany cannot stand to see others suffer, whether it be because they’re having home problems, trouble with a math question, or even something bigger than that, and Bethany will do absolutely anything that is necessary to help others with their problems. She will sew their clothes if there is a tear, assist them with a math problem even if it takes all class period, prepare meals for the girls that forgot their lunch or lunch money. If a girl is injured on the playground or from a fight, she’ll address the wound with as much knowledge that she has (or call 911 if its outside of her experience). Bethany may not be a mother, and perhaps she may never become a mother, but to her, everyone is family, and Bethany will extend that courtesy to anyone, whether they want it or not (and if the situation calls for it, she will even extend this courtesy to her opponents... one must always be willing to extend a helping hand to their neighbor, even if said neighbor wants to bite that hand off).

Team Player – Bethany is a helpful young woman, and her time spent volunteering at different events has taught her that everyone must work together for a common goal. She has little desires for herself, though she is not completely selfless (though given how freely she gives to others before herself, one would think otherwise), Bethany works exceptionally well with others. She seldom takes the lead role, but she will give the leader her full and unconditional support, even if the others may turn on them. In combat, she will allow for another, more confident and stronger ally to take the lead, and she will support them without question in whatever way she can. Once Bethany's trust is gained, she will follow them to the ends of the earth and help in whatever way possible to make sure that the job gets done, whatever it may be, even if it means surrendering the few privileges she may have.

Flaws:

Overbearing – Bethany may be nurturing, but she can be borderline obsessive when it comes to helping others, especially if they don’t want to be helped (which, at St. Mag’s, it’s more likely than you’d think). Not only does this have an ill effect on her as she’ll run herself ragged (though it’ll take awhile), she’s likely to get under other people’s skin. She comes off as someone who is nosy, or a busybody, and there are times that it drives other people away, despite her good intentions. There are also times where she is a little too helpful and will, unbeknownst to her, actually take over someone else's duty in a group assignment and will continue to do so until told otherwise. She also has a tendency to run herself ragged, but she cannot stand the thought of not giving her all in a project or assignment, even if she is not wanted.

Overly Cautious – There is a fine line of difference between patience and being overly cautious. Bethany tends to be so patient that she borderlines the point of missing key opportunities to make any real progress. Whether it be in helping a student with a problem, or deciding what move to make in combat, Bethany has allowed opportunities to slip by in the fear of making matters worse, and this can be extremely frustrating for both allies and herself at times. If she is not prompted by a friend, an ally or even an enemy, Bethany will likely sit and wait for a long, long time for the answer to reveal itself rather than look for one herself at times, and while this could be useful to someone who has all the time in the world, there are some pressing matters that require quick thinking and action, and this is where Bethany may get caught up in. Perhaps she could make a few more Hail Mary’s to help her decide what action to take next time?

Self Sacrificing - Bethany is at her best when she is aiding another, either through advice or physically in a group activity or a fight. Her knack for keeping others safe or in line not only comes off as overbearing, but it can also be destructive to her solo work, or even to herself. She will gladly sacrifice her time and energy for someone else's cause without too much thought of her own safety or needs, and while everyone enjoys a little bit of self sacrifice, it doesn't bode well for Bethany in the long haul. After all, what use is a bodyguard if he or she is dead (or in the very least, run ragged)? On her own, she is less likely to make such foolish sacrifices and can take care of herself, but if someone else in involved, Bethany takes it as her sole duty to help and protect them from anything or anyone that would try to take them down, regardless of how it would ultimately affect her. She also tends to ignore how her selfless acts actually affect others, as her constant jumping in the way of an attack, or protective nature can interfere with a plan or even put herself and the one she is trying to save at risk. In a less harmful way, it also comes off to others that she has little self value, low self esteem, and it makes taking her into a situation a chore for them, if they wish to keep her alive as well. Of course, she has no idea how this would affect others; all she cares about it keeping them safe or carrying their burden to make it easier on them.

Quoted from Wikipedia article:

"Canopus (/kəˈnoʊpəs/; α Car, α Carinae, Alpha Carinae) is the brightest star in the southern constellation of Carina, and the second brightest star in the night-time sky, after Sirius. Canopus's visual magnitude is −0.72, and it has an absolute magnitude of −5.53.
Canopus is a supergiant of spectral type F. Canopus is essentially white when seen with the naked eye (although F-type stars are sometimes listed as "yellowish-white"). It is located in the far southern sky, at a declination of −52° 42' (2000) and a right ascension of 06h24.0m.

The star Canopus appears in the ancient Vedic annals of India as Agastya. Agastya is one of the stars of the Sapta Rishis or Ursa Major, also called the Big Dipper. Agastya is said to be the 'cleanser of waters' and its rising coincides with the calming of the waters of the Indian Ocean.
Canopus was not visible to the Ancient Greeks and Romans; it was, however, visible to the Ancient Egyptians, as well as the Navajo, who named it Ma’ii Bizò‘. It is also referred to by its Arabic name: سهيل (Suhayl), given by Islamic scientists in the 7th Century AD.

The Bedouin people of the Negev and Sinai also knew itas Suhayl, and used it and Polaris as the two principal stars for navigation at night. Due to the fact that it disappears below the horizon, it became associated with a cowardly or changeable nature, as opposed to always-visible Polaris, which was circumpolar and hence 'steadfast'.

Called the Star of the Old Man (in Chinese: 老人星 or in Chinese: Lǎorénxīng) in Chinese, Canopus appears (albeit misplaced northwards) on the medieval Chinese manuscript the Dunhuang Star Chart, despite being invisible from China. The Chinese astronomer Yi Xing had journeyed south to chart Canopus and other far southern stars in 724 AD, though they were likely known to the Chinese from earlier times.

Canopus is the most intrinsically bright star within approximately 700 light years, and it has been the brightest star in Earth's sky during three different epochs over the past four million years."

Information on the Civilian, Bethany Wyatt.








Bethany Wyatt is a seventeen year old student at St. Magdelena's Seminary and has lived in Destiny City her whole life. While she does go to a school known for having troubled children, Bethany is quiet and very well behaved, some would even say they hardly notice her existence at all if she didn't spend all of her time volunteering for various fund raisers, food drives and the sort. Despite her demure nature, she is eager to please and is willing to offer her help in whatever way possible, even if it puts her in an awkward situations. With graduation coming in the next year, Bethany's a little nervous about what her future plans will be and knows that her time in the dormitories at the Seminary are coming to a close. Will she get a job? Will she go to college? She's so uncertain!

Things to note:
- Bethany is calm and quiet, and slow to anger, so she's likely to put up with all sorts of crazy people.
- Bethany enjoys helping others, even if they may not want her help or not.
- Bethany has a very demure nature and will often not want to attract attention to herself if she is not busy assisting others.
- Bethany is also very sheltered and will often be clueless to double meanings and innuendos. However, her time with some braver people have wisened her up, and has garnered some interests, so to speak.
- Possibly bicurious...

Looking for RPs!
* The usual meet-and-greets; though she spends a lot of time at St. Mag's, she can be found throughout the city when it comes to volunteering at various services.
* Assisting others with their problems, even if it's just to have a shoulder to cry on or an ear to yell into.
* Awkward situations, something to maybe help break her out of her shell a little. Someone to explore that blossoming bicuriosity with, perhaps?
* Maaaaaybe a little romance? She hasn't given the notion thought, but it's every girl's fantasy to have a romantic interests, right?




Information on the Dark Mirror Senshi, Super Sailor Canopus.

Super Sailor Canopus may not be the most powerful that the Dark Mirror Court has to offer, nor the wisest, nor fastest. However, her devotion to her court and her devotion to the Prince and Princess knows no bounds, as she blindly follows their lead, with admiration in her eyes and hope in her heart that someday, the world will be set right and that the evil-doers that threaten her home are properly dealt with. Even after the events of the White Phoenix, the loyalty to her court has only strengthened, though now she's become extremely weary of the Negaverse and those among the White Moon Court who may want her and her kind dead. Despite this, her resolve to preserve her Court and her courtmates has not wavered in the slightest and she vows to become stronger for their sake. Their lives are hers to safeguard. For her court and for her planet, she is willing to surrender her life without a second thought...

Things to note:
- Canopus has recently hit Super rank!
- Canopus is completely and utterly devoted to the Dark Mirror Court and the two Royals. She will not think twice about laying down her life to protect them or anyone else in her court.
- Though she is horrible at fighting, she will try to defend herself and others if she feels threatened.
- She'd rather not fight, but instead talk out their differences. She's perfectly fine with co-existing until her Court has found a home of their own.
- Not very outgoing and her demure nature carries over, but will gladly assist her allies when in danger without a second thought.
- Does not trust the Negaverse nor their agents, however, she will also not openly attack or antagonize them. After the White Phoenix event, her trust in her former allies has been shattered and cannot easily be gained back.
- She knows a little more about the history of her court and while it doesn't paint a pretty picture, still has unwavering devotion to it.

Looking for RPs!
* Encounters of all kind! Chibi, cats, negaverse too! Everyone!
* Encounters with anti-DMC characters, whether it be Negaverse or former Blood Moon Court members.
* Battles. She's terrible at them and will play very defensive, so if you want a quick and easy win, feel free to knock her around (be warned she'll flash you the biggest puppy dog eyes ever).
* Someone to question her faith- she feels as thought her resolve will be strong, but it's always fun to engage and explore different possibilities.
* Possible peace talk between the fractions, sans Negaverse. Willing to work with White Moon and Knights more than the Negaverse, despite being connected via Chaos.
* People in which to have time to discuss their lords and saviors Remarque and Leto with... (ie, possible recruitment or luring into the DMC for Senshi)
* Problem solving with deep discussion and therapy! She has aspirations to become a psychiatrist.
* Any and everything else in between.
