	— Beth to Josh

Beth Washington is a false protagonist and playable character in Until Dawn. Beth was the youngest of the Washington children - the sister of Josh and twin sister of Hannah Washington. After Hannah fell victim to a prank, Beth followed her into the woods, where they encountered a mysterious creature that forced them off a cliff. Beth died from her fall and would not be found until a year later.

Like Hannah, she was voiced and motion captured by actress Ella Lentini.

Appearance

Beth has short, dark brown hair that goes below her chin with bangs underneath her white beanie. She wears a half-sleeved gray sweater, darker gray yoga pants and cream-colored boots during the prologue. She also wears a watch on her wrist (which can be found very late in the game) and a fuchsia winter coat (which she gives to her sister).

Beth weighs 110 pounds and her height is 172 centimeters (5'8). Like most of her family, she has dark brown eyes.

Personality

Beth is a caring and protective girl. Contrary to her sister, she does not come across as naive, but rather firm and resolute. After the prank played on Hannah, Beth was visibly angry at Mike, Emily, Ashley, Matt, and Jessica, calling them "jerks" and running into the cold woods to look for her sister.

Upon finding Hannah, she immediately gave her her coat, and when Hannah tripped and fell while running away from (what was later revealed to be) a Wendigo, Beth quickly turned back to help her get up again, putting herself at risk. Her highest traits are honest and charitable, while her lowest are funny and romantic.

Until Dawn

Biography

Beth is the third child of the Washington family, being the younger twin sister to Hannah and the younger sister of Josh. Along with Hannah, she disappeared February 2, 2014. The police searched high and wide, but despite their best efforts, the sisters remained missing, presumed dead.

One Year Ago

• Remake
• Original

In the remake

Beth approaches the deer.

Beth is first seen taking the trash outside. Outside of the lodge, she encounters a deer curiously watching her. Beth will approach the deer and can hold its snout, triggering a Don't Move segment, but the animal will promptly run away. Upon entering the lodge, Beth notices an empty bottle Josh chugged down. Upon noticing her passed out brother, Beth will move Josh to the couch with Hannah. The player will take control of Beth and can explore the lodge.

Beth can find a camera with numerous pictures, including pictures of the sisters with Josh and the rest of the group. After the group pranks Hannah, Beth notices her storming outside. The rest of the group follows Hannah, and Beth asks what they did. She will angrily call them jerks and run after Hannah. After finding her in the middle of the woods, crying, she offers her her coat. They then encounter a mysterious figure and are forced towards a cliff, hanging on for life. A stranger holds out his hand for Beth, but the girls fall.

In the original game

Beth is the first character seen in the game, shown looking outside the lodge's window. She then catches a glimpse of The Stranger outside and asks Josh (who is passed out after drinking too much alcohol) if he noticed the figure. Beth then roams around the room, eventually finding the note from Mike inviting Hannah up to the room for the prank. She asks herself what her 'naive sister' got herself into now.

Beth then sees someone (later revealed to be Hannah) running outside from the window. Confused, Beth either has the option to wake Josh or find the others. If she tries to wake Josh, she is unable to rouse him. She quickly puts on a coat, follows the other out to the front of the lodge and hears Sam calling after Hannah. Beth joins them and asks everyone what happened. The group dismisses it as them "messing around", while Emily claims "it's just a prank", believing Hannah overreacted. Beth is angered; after calling them jerks, she sprints into the woods to look for Hannah. Soon, she hears a noise and sees footprints on the ground, both leading to different directions. She can choose either follow the footprints or the noise, pulling out her phone and using the flashlight to see better. After walking more, she sees a death totem on the ground, depicting herself and Hannah dying after falling from a great height. She also hears strange noises and sees apparently random bursts of fire in the distance.

Beth and Hannah are forced off the cliff's edge.

Beth finally catches Hannah sitting on the ground, crying. Beth is relieved, offers Hannah her coat, and helps her up. Suddenly, they hear a noise (later revealed to be the Makkapitew), look back and start running from it. As they run to a bridge, Hannah trips and falls. Beth hurriedly helps her up. By doing so, her phone falls from her coat pocket and into one of the slits in the bridge. Hearing the creature close in on them makes them slowly walk backward to the edge of the cliff. Hannah loses her footing and falls over the edge, dragging Beth with her. However, Beth manages to desperately hang onto a protruding branch with her free hand while trying to support Hannah with the other.

After a large flame emerges from above, a strange man reaches out for Beth to grab his hand. Beth has the option to either grab his hand and let go of Hannah, let go of the ledge and hope for survival, or to do nothing. Regardless of the player's choice, Beth falls from the cliff and into the mines below, tumbling and sustaining many injuries along the way, most notably a direct hit to her spine by a rock, instantly killing her.

Chapter 1

The one-year anniversary of the sisters' disappearance is mentioned on a radio report Sam is listening to. She changes the report to a different screen showing a video message from Josh, who remarks that Hannah and Beth would be happy if they knew they were coming together in remembrance of them.

Chapter 3

Ashley, Chris, and Josh find a Ouija board and attempt to contact a spirit for fun. However, the spirit they 'contact' asks for help. Chris, feeling skeptical about the board, asks Ashley about its identity, stating that they can't help if they don't know who it is. Ashley obeys Chris's advice and asks the spirit who they are, to which it responds with 'sister'. The atmosphere suddenly tenses up as all three are now scared that they may be talking to Hannah or Beth. Josh, distressed by the answer, wants to know which sister it is. Here, Ashley has the choice to say if it's Hannah or Beth they're speaking to. Regardless, the counter moves to 'yes'. The 'sister' communicating with them directs Ashley and Chris to the library as Josh leaves, accusing Chris and Ashley of this whole ordeal in order for him to have some closure and says that they're "full of it".

Chapter 5

Matt and Emily may find Beth's phone under some wooden boards on a bridge, where Beth and Hannah ran through one year ago. The couple becomes extremely confused, stating that they thought the police had already searched the whole area.

Chapter 7

Emily finds Beth's head.

As Emily wanders through the mines, she can find Beth's rotten, decapitated head sitting atop a pile of rocks. She also finds a cross with Beth's name on it and a date on it: February 2nd, 2014, the day the prank took place. Based on the rough carvings on the cavern walls and an assortment of Hannah's belongings, Emily deduces that Hannah survived the fall, but Beth was instantly killed.

Chapter 10

Beth, along with Hannah, appears to Josh during his hallucination in the mines. They are shown to be slightly cracked and dead in appearance. In the hallucination, Beth blames Josh for her death, claiming he wanted her to die and that he did nothing to save her and her sister. This is a depiction of Josh's own mind and feelings tormenting him. They disappear for a few seconds before emerging from intestines, now bloodied. After repeating the same sentence once again, Josh demands them to leave him alone. Now having terrified Josh to no end, they disappear only for a Wendigo to show up through the cavern wall and screech at Josh before the scene cuts to Sam and Mike.

While they search the mines for Josh, Sam can find Beth's watch in a dug-up grave. Shortly after, she can find Hannah's diary, which confirms that Beth died immediately a few seconds before hitting the cavern floor. It also describes how Hannah buried her corpse, but eventually succumbed to her hunger and regretfully dug up her body to eat her flesh for sustenance, unaware of the fact that one of the Wendigo spirits had begun to possess her.

Credits (mentioned)

Emily may mention Beth and her death in the police interview. She will only mention Beth if the player was able to find Beth's head while wandering Emily around the mines, and Matt, Jessica, Sam and Mike died before dawn. She will tell the interviewer that she saw Beth's head in the mines. Sam also indirectly mentions Beth when talking about Josh, when explaining how she tried to support him "after his sisters disappeared".

Death

Beth shatters her spine on a rock.

After Beth and Hannah fall from the ledge while backing away from a Wendigo, Beth grabs onto a branch. The Stranger reaches out to Beth, who then has the option to either drop Hannah and attempt to grab the Stranger's hand, let go of the branch altogether, or do nothing. Regardless of whether she lets go of the branch and she and Hannah fall down together, or if she drops Hannah and tries to take the Stranger's hand and then falls, Beth dies from injuries sustained during the fall, most notably a fatal injury to her spine after she hits a rock.

Relationships

Hannah

See Hannah and Beth for more information.

Hannah was Beth's older twin sister, and like most twins, the two were very close and shared a lot of moments together. Beth is shown to be aware of her sisters naivety, as Hannah writes in her diary - before meeting Mike - that she decided not to tell Beth about their meetup because she would warn Hannah against it.

Hannah and Beth in the woods.

Beth's protectiveness of her sister is shown when she instantly runs after Hannah from the lodge in an attempt to find her, after furiously confronting the group members about their prank. Through her actions, as well as indicated by the Twins Clues and their in-game status being the highest, it’s clear that Beth deeply cares for Hannah's well-being and safety, and holds her in the highest regard. Beth does have the option of dropping Hannah whilst they are hanging off a cliff edge to save herself, though if she chooses this option, she will apologize and appear distressed.

After Beth's death from the fall, Hannah was alone in the mine with a broken leg, and wrote in her journal about the last moments of her little sister. She dug a grave for her and crafted a cross with Beth's name and date of death. However, after a month of no rescue, Hannah made the difficult decision to dug up her sister and eat her for survival. As also shown in her diary, Hannah felt profoundly guilty for this, repeatedly asking for Beth's forgiveness.

Josh

Beth is shown to have trusted and cared for her brother Josh, and vice versa - along with Hannah, they were very close, as evidenced by the pictures the player can find laying around of the three siblings together. After she notices Hannah fleeing the lodge, she has the option to try to wake Josh, who passed out after drinking too much, to help her. Before her disappearance, she found Josh's drunken state to be amusing, commenting "once again, brother, you've outdone us all." After Beth's and Hannah's disappearance and presumed deaths, Josh started blaming himself and was unable to cope, as seen when he hallucinates his sisters down in the mine.

Ashley

Not much is known about Beth and Ashley's relationship, but it can be assumed they are not the closest, as Ashley has one of the lowest relationship statuses with Beth. She is angry with Ashley and the other pranksters and calls them jerks. Later, Ashley can express remorse over the prank and disappearances of Beth and her twin, or claim Hannah overreacted.

Chris

Beth smiles at Chris.

In the remake, Beth checks up on Chris as he is passed out with his face drawn on. She smiles at him and repositions the bottle that he knocked over. Because of Chris being Josh's best friend, it is clear he had a good relationship with Beth as well. This is also evidenced by their relationship level being high, though below Hannah, Josh, Sam, and Jess.

Emily

Not much is known about Emily's relationship with Beth, although Emily is one of the two people with whom Beth shares the lowest relationship status, the other being Ashley. When Emily comes across Beth's missing person poster in the fire tower, she expresses remorse about her disappearance. Later, upon discovering Beth's head in the mines, Emily reacts with panic and is visibly upset upon seeing the decayed head of her friend. If she survives the ensuing chase, she recounts to her friends what she believes happened a year ago. She may also inform the police about finding Beth's head.

Jessica

Beth and Jessica have a relatively high relationship status at the beginning of the game and seem to have a good friendship overall. She doesn't like her as much as Sam but likes her more than the rest of Josh's friends. They, along with Emily and Hannah, are photographed together, as seen on the Remembrance Board in Josh's basement. Despite Jessica being her friend, Beth will still yell at her, calling her a jerk for pranking Hannah. Jessica may later refer to the prank as ''stupid and half-baked'', but will also claim that Hannah and Beth running into the woods was ''a dumb thing''.

Matt

Beth calls Matt a jerk for upsetting her sister. Their relationship is not especially high, about the same as her relationship level with Mike. Matt will mention how, after the events of the night, the disappearance of the twins makes more sense.

Mike

Mike is one of Beth’s lower relationship statuses. The only discussion they are seen sharing is when Mike tries to defend his actions. Beth then calls Mike and the other pranksters jerks before running into the woods to find Hannah. Mike can later recall the event as a blur, or claim the twins would be happy they are remembering them. Should Sam find Beth’s watch, Mike will express confusion, and if she finds Hannah’s journal, Mike will be in disbelief over the fact that Hannah cannibalized Beth.

Sam

Beth and Sam were reasonably close, possibly due to Sam being Hannah's best friend. Beth's highest non-familial relationship is with Sam. Sam can initially learn about Beth’s death from Emily, and may later find Beth’s watch in the mine as well as Hannah’s journal that explains that Hannah ate her deceased sister after a month of no rescue. Upon this revelation, Sam will be distraught and insist on her and Mike to find Josh and inform him.

The Inpatient

Hannah and Beth can appear in one of the endings of the prequel based on the 50s, The Inpatient. They will be seen being chased in the forest, fleeing the Makkapitew (in this case, the player) and approaching the edge of the clifftop.
