{| {{CharacterTable | name = Bethany | health = {{RedHeart}}{{RedHeart}}{{RedHeart}} | damage = 3.5 (*1.00) | tears = 10 | shotspeed = 1 | range = 15.75 | speed = 0.85 | luck = 0 | pickups = None | items = [[Book Of Virtues]] }}</onlyinclude> '''Bethany''' (nicknamed '''Beth''') is an unlockable character added in ''Antibirth''. Any [[boir:Soul Heart|Soul Hearts]], [[boir:Black Heart|Black Hearts]], and [[Immortal Heart|immortal hearts]] that Bethany picks up are added to a counter instead of her health bar. This counter can be used as a charge for the [[Book Of Virtues]] or other [[Items#Activated Collectibles|activated collectibles]]. Each heart picked up increases the counter by 2. She has a chance of dropping a Soul Heart on room clear, separate from the regular room clear drop. Bethany is unlocked by having any combination of 12 [[boir:Hearts_(Pickup)#Soul_Hearts|soul]], [[boir:Hearts_(Pickup)#Black_Hearts|black]], or [[Pickups#Immortal Hearts|immortal]] hearts during a run with any character. ==Notes== * Hearts are used in the following order: [[Immortal Heart|immortal hearts]], then [[boir:Black Heart|black hearts]], then [[boir:Soul Heart|soul hearts]]. The counter will change color to reflect which type of heart is being consumed. * [[boir:Black Heart|Black hearts]] will deal damage to the entire room when consumed, as if a regular character took damage and a black heart was destroyed. ** If Bethany uses 1 black heart counter to charge an item, the black heart's room-damaging effect still takes place. This means that 1 black heart (2 black heart counters) can be used to deal damage twice. * [[Pickups#Immortal Heart|Immortal Hearts]] provide a white flame orbital when consumed, even if Bethany does not have [[Book Of Virtues]] equipped. The orbital grows in size after every cleared room, generating a blue flame if at maximum size. * Using [[boir:Converter|Converter]] consumes 6 soul heart counters. However, even if the counter has less than 6, Bethany can still use it, allowing her to obtain 12 heart containers easily. * Picking up an item that removes all red hearts containers such as [[boir:Abaddon|Abaddon]] will kill Bethany instantly * Bethany starts with angel room spawn chance, so she can have an angel room on the 2nd floor. (It is the Book of Virtues that gives her this benefit) **If Bethany uses a Joker card on the first floor, or is teleported using a Red Chest, she has a chance to be teleported to an angel room (Use the seed TDZ8 ENDA, a Red Chest is in the first floor Curse Room). == Tips == * Since red hearts cannot be protected, any hit will destroy your chances for a Devil/Angel room, making [[boir:Goat_Head|Goat Head]] more valuable than ever. ** Alternatives are protection items like [[boir:Gnawed_Leaf|Gnawed Leaf]], [[boir:Breath_of_Life|Breath of Life]], [[boir:Infamy|Infamy]], or [[boir:Holy_Mantle|Holy Mantle]] **Items to evade projectiles like [[Pluto]], [[boir:Broken_Watch|Broken Watch]], [[boir:The_Hourglass|The Hourglass]], or [[boir:The_Soul|The Soul]]; or obstacles like [[boir:Callus|Callus]] * Because Bethany only has red hearts, [[boir:Machines#Blood_Donation_Machine|Blood donation machines]] can be very dangerous to use unless she has more hearts saved to replenish the lost ones. (Same applies to any damage triggered item, Devil pacts, and the Devil Beggar). *Since the spirit flames from her [[Book Of Virtues]] counts as familiars, they are affected by [[boir:BFFS!|BFF!]] and [[Song of the Siren]], making them more powerful. **The tears shot by these flames travel through obstacles, allowing you to attack while hidden behind one. *You should think before taking a Devil's deal, since the [[Book Of Virtues]] increases the chance of getting an Angel room, even on Floor 2, and a deal will remove this benefit unless you get [[Act Of Contrition]]. *[[Blood Oath]] will take most of your red hearts at the start of every floor. It is not recommended to take unless you have a very reliable dodge skill or health source. *[[boir:Dark_Bum|Dark Bum]] will take every red heart and convert them to Soul hearts, so you'll sacrifice health in exchange for an item charge. *The "Soul charge" is exclusive from Bethany, not the [[Book Of Virtues]], so you can use the counter on other active items, but items with long charges (for example: [[boir:The_Necronomicon|The Necronomicon]]) can drain it very quick (Remember the Book of Virtues only has two charges). *[[boir:Whore_of_babylon|Whore of Babylon]] only actives on the half of the last heart, meaning that Bethany must be at the very verge of death to benefit from it. *[[boir:9_Volt|9 Volt]] will always charge the first bar, allowing you to save hearts from the counter. ==Unlockable items== *[[Beth's Faith]] - Complete the [[boir:Boss Rush|Boss Rush]] *[[Blessed Penny]] - Defeat [[boir:??? (Boss)|???]]. *Soul Baby - Defeat [[boir:Mom's Heart|Mom's Heart]] or [[boir:It Lives|It Lives]] on Hard. *[[Urn of Souls]] - Defeat [[boir:Satan|Satan]]. (Glitched) *[[Alabaster Box]] - Defeat [[boir:The Lamb|The Lamb]]. *[[Book Of Virtues]] - Defeat [[boir:Isaac (Boss)|Isaac]]. *[[Revelation]] - Defeat [[The Witness]]. (Glitched) Note that defeating Mega Satan does not unlock anything or give a completion mark. == Gallery == <gallery> File:Char02.png| Concept art for Bethany. File:Beth.png| Concept art for Bethany's abilities. </gallery> == Bugs == {{bug|[[Urn of Souls]] currently cannot be unlocked.}} {{bug|[[Revelation]] currently cannot be unlocked.}}{{Bug|Choosing Bethany as player two on Co-op will not show the soul counter.}} == Trivia == * The name Bethany could be a reference to the village of Bethany in the bible which is home to Lazarus. * Bethany was confirmed by _Kilburn to originally have orange hair in early concepts, similar to Lazarus's hair. * In ''[[boir:The Binding of Isaac: Repentance|Repentance]]'', Bethany is unlocked by beating Mom's Heart or It Lives! as Lazarus on hard mode without losing a life. {{CharacterNav}} {{MasterNav}} [[Category:Characters]]
