Rebecca Owens

Rebecca Owens is the protagonist of The Mortuary Assistant.
Mortuary Assistant and the character that the player controls in the game. She is voiced by Melissa Medina.
== Background ==
Rebecca's upbringing was likely tumultuous, as both her parents struggled with drug addiction during her childhood. Her mother died of an overdose when Rebecca was young, and it's likely that Rebecca ended up finding, or at least seeing, her mother's dead body. 
Though her father was eventually able to go sober, and remained so for at least five years, he also suffered an untimely death, perishing in an accident when Rebecca was only fourteen. This left Rebecca to be raised by her grandmother. 
Much like her parents, Rebecca ended up developing a drug problem. At the age of fourteen, she attended a beach party that resulted in her being left for dead along the rocky shoreline. Her father, who had gone looking for her with the aid of local law enforcement, discovered his daughter's near-lifeless form and attempted to get the attention of the nearby officers. Unfortunately, the terrain proved dangerously slick and uneven, resulting in him slipping and sustaining a severe head injury. Unable to move or speak, Rebecca could only watch as her father's body then slid into the nearby water, sealing his fate. 
== Throughout The Mortuary Assistant ==
A recovering drug addict, Rebecca Owens is ten years sober, as evidenced by the sobriety coin found in her apartment.
She recently became certified as an embalmer and was offered a job at River Fields Mortuary under Raymond Delver, her former college professor, who offered her the job.
She is still battling her personal demons from her previous drug use. Even so, she still wants to provide the best care for the dead, regardless of the paranormal activity manifesting around her.
