Fictional Biography[]

Little is known about Bess or her immediate family. She has a cousin, George Fayne, an aunt, Bet Rawley, and an uncle, Ed Rawley.

Ransom of the Seven Ships[]

Upon arriving on a small island resort, Bess was kidnapped and remains absent until the end of the game when Nancy finds her in an underground cavern. This was Bess' first full appearance, as she was always only heard, never seen, until then.

Shadow at the Water's Edge[]

Bess went along with Nancy and George on vacation in Tokyo, Japan. She seemed somewhat upset to have to stay in the technology expo with her cousin, but then she met Logan Mitchell.

Personality[]

Bess is smart and spunky with a strong belief in girl power. She seems to have a thing for guys, especially firemen, author's assistants and men who slay dragons. Bess has an immense worry for Nancy and fears that she might one day get severely hurt during one of her mysteries, but is always willing to lend a hand when Nancy needs it. She also has issues with snooping. Bess often reads fashion magazines and loves food and is slightly overweight.

Appearance[]

Bess is slightly short and round. She has short, blonde hair and seems to smile a lot, even while trapped in dark caves. She is much girlier than her cousin, George. Several men seem to find her quite attractive, including Gilbert Buford and Logan.

Quotes[]

"All in favor of men who slay dragons, say ay!" - Bess on Nicholas Falcone's dedication to 'slay the dragon of corporate generica',

"You know those movies when they're going through the dark door and you keep saying 'don't go through that door!', but they can't hear you?... Well you can hear me Nancy Drew, so DON"T GO THROUGH THAT DOOR!" - Bess displays how much she disagrees with Nancy's plan to stay at the Ryokan in Shadow at the Water's Edge.
