Bernadette comes from a rich family as one of her great ancestors was a very sucessful strawberry farmer which is still in business to this day. She's use to the big city life but decided she wanted to move to a much smaller, quieter, and safer town because the big city life was just too much for her. When she heard her cousin Barnaby was thinking about moving she convinced him to take over their grandparents old bakery that was willed to him and promised to help him run it if she could move with him. She's a very polite and caring girl that doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She's very thoughtful and tries to select her words carefully as to not ruffle anyones feathers, although the way she does can sometimes make it sound like she's talking down to others. She's never worked a day in her life but she's more than willing to learn.
