She is a sad woman who was the lover and wife of a sea captain whom was lost at sea. She kept pictures of him in her engraved locket (the engraving itself was a picture of her husband).

Her gravestone reads:

Betty Cowden
1650-1669
Here lieth the body of Betty Cowden
Who would live longer but she couden;
Sorrow and grief made her decay
When she lost her lover at sea one day.

She haunted the Whateley Manor, her ghost rocking back in forth in a ghostly rocking chair, crying. Rosella calmed her soul by returning her the locket.
