This article explores the authors', two teacher educators' and a pre-service teacher's, understanding of the ethical dilemmas, obligations, and plotlines that emerged in the experiences of a pre-service teacher as she began to develop her identity as a teacher. The inquiry, based in narrative inquiry, used the analysis of narratives from a preservice teacher candidate, Eliza, and responses to them by teacher educators, Stefinee and Shaun, to explore the intertwining issues of identity and ethics. These responses take the form of further narrative on the part of the teacher researchers and responses attending to the blogs Eliza posted. This inquiry increased the authors' understanding of the plotlines of ethical relationships as teachers and teacher educators form their identity, or stories to live by, and provided new insights in conceptualizing teacher and teacher educators' ethical obligations to all students.
