Beth Smith

Bethany "Beth" Smith () is one of the main characters of the American animated television series ''Rick and Morty'' and the resulting franchise. Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, Beth is a veterinarian who specializes in horse surgery, who in the first three seasons is struck with a deep sense of dissatisfaction with her life, stemming from her belief that she has "settled" in her marriage, family, and job, leading her to accept her father into her household after he abandoned her as a teenager. Known for her selfish and humorous personality, alcoholism, and abrasiveness when criticized, the character has been well received. She is the level-headed and assertive daughter of mad scientist Rick Sanchez, mother of Morty and Summer Smith, wife of Jerry Smith, and grandmother of Maria, Naruto, Thoolie, and Morty Smith Jr.

Following Rick and Morty abandoning the latter's original reality in the first season episode "Rick Potion #9", a new Beth identical to the original is introduced, Beth C-131; the original Beth Prime is subsequently shown to be ruling a post-apocalyptic wasteland with the original Jerry and Summer in the third season episode "The Rickshank Rickdemption" and the ''Rick and Morty'' comic series arc "Look Who's Cronenberging Now", before dying of illness before the events of the sixth season premiere "Solaricks". Following the events of "The ABC's of Beth", in which Beth confronts sharing her father's sociopathy, Rick creates a clone of Beth and sends one of the pair to space; it is left ambiguous as to whether the newly dubbed Space Beth is the clone or the original following the official introduction of the character in "Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri". The character description for Space Beth in the ''Pocket Mortys'' update that accompanied the Adult Swim release of the episode initially identifies her as Clone Beth, despite the episode itself not confirming whether or not she or Beth is the clone; both Beths and Jerry later form a throuple in the sixth-season episode "Bethic Twinstinct". In "Rickmurai Jack", Rick's original Beth, Beth C-137, is revealed to have been killed as a child along with her mother Diane, with Rick having spent the following decades scouring the multiverse for their killer, eventually electing to move in with the adult version of Beth and her family from his target's native reality. The character is voiced by Sarah Chalke, and portrayed by Whitney Avalon in a promotional music video for the third season. Provided by Wikipedia
