We first meet Rebecca in our opening. She is the opening character, standing on a cliff surveying the town below for potential threats or resources. She is capable and fit, but she was not always used to living with so little. Rebecca grew up wealthy and educated. With an education from Oberlin College in Ohio, she later moved to this rural town after marrying.

Her husband has been MIA ever since the grid went down, and now she has been in charge of providing for her 2 children. Without any useful skills to afford her to stay in the safety of sanctuary, she must leave her children behind to scout. Everyone must pull pitch in order to stay at the sanctuary. Serving the community as a scout, she is able to secure shelter for her family.

Her husband was a prepper and an amateur radio operator. Using the gear he left behind and skills she learned from watching him, she was able to scout successfully for years without incident. Often she thinks about him, and how he would love doing what she is being forced to do. She does this out of necessity. Her instinct is to stay out of the fight, to hide or run. However, given no other choice, she plays prepper channeling her husband to survive.

Features

Flaws

• Pampered, used to the finer things when the world still worked.

• physically weak, her petite frame limits her muscular strength.

• Undisciplined, while disciplined in the sense of education, she is not accustomed to following rigid procedures like SOP. In this new world she when compared to other survivors, she seems impulsive.

• Unprepared, she survived because of the actions her husband took. She was not prepared for the end of the world and would not have initially survived if it were not for her husband.
