Rebecca Rancid (a.k.a. Rabid Rebecca, Rancid Rebecca, the Bogey Babysitter, or Miss Rancid) is a babysitter, and usually classified as the 'toughest teen in town'.
Sue Elliott-Nicholls voices her.
==Appearances==
===As a Character===
Her debut appearance is in "Horrid Henry and the Bogey Babysitter", being the main antagonist of the episode. She acts abusive to Henry and Peter all throughout the episode, until Henry discovers her fear of Spiders. In the end, Mum and Dad catch her abusing Henry, which causes Rebecca to run out. In the middle of the episode, Henry rings the police saying that Rebecca is an intruder and she was 10 feet tall, teeth like icebergs and she was watching Henry's TV. Peter said to Henry that Rebecca isn't an intruder.
Despite Mum and Dad saying they'd never let her babysit for them again, she appeared once again as Henry and Peter's babysitter in "Horrid Henry's Smelly Stuff", although she ran away screaming when she noticed Mum and Dad's beards, caused by the perfume Peter and Henry made.
She made another minor role at the end of "Horrid Henry's Haircut", where it was revealed she was training to be a hairdresser, causing Henry to scream Noooo!!!.
In "Horrid Henry Alone at Home", she made another minor appearance when Mum called her to babysit Henry but refused.
Her second major role was in "Horrid Henry and the Terrible Teacher", once again as the main antagonist, revealing she’s training to be a teacher. She filled in for Miss Battle-Axe when she went on holiday, and was referred to as Miss Rancid, which reveals her full name as Rebecca Rancid. She ends up being terrible at her job, teaching absolutely nothing to the students. She also overcomes her fear of spiders, and so the students find it harder to try and find ways to get rid of her, but in the end she gets fired by Miss Oddbod when she tries to get Perfect Peter when she jumped out of the classroom window, after getting infuriated by the song Frère Jacques that Peter was singing. She ends up screaming Noooo!!! once Henry sings the song to annoy her.
She has stopped her training as a teacher due to the trouble she caused at Ashton Primary School.
===As a Background Character ===
Rabid Rebecca has also been used as a background character, making appearances in crowd scenes.
She makes cameo appearances in "Horrid Henry and the Football Fiend" in the audience at the match and in "Horrid Henry and the Killer Boy Rats" in the audience at Ed Banger's concert, where she is shocked when Henry steals the microphone and sings into it. In "Horrid Henry's Big Breakfast", she watches Henry and his classmates singing on stage, which raises too many weird connotations. In "Horrid Henry and the Funny Bunny Hop", she watches Peter do his bunny hop on stage.
== Personality ==
Rabid Rebecca isn't called the toughest babysitter in town for nothing. She’s nothing short of being extremely abusive and a bully to any child she sees. She’s also quite bossy and bogey, and is really tough, with Henry's usual Babysitter ditching plans backfiring on him. She also breaks promises she makes with kids as well, due to the bullying power she has.
She is also revealed to get scared when it comes to spiders, which she later overcomes.
She can't stand the song Frere Jacques and chases Peter for singing it, getting caught by Miss Oddbod.
==Description==
Physically, Rebecca is taller than all the kids, and she is very beefy. She appears to have dark purple hair styled into a mullet and black eyes . She has a pointy nose, very large teeth (described by Henry as 'teeth the size of icebergs') which are always visible even when her mouth is shut. She wears green studded earrings, red lipstick, an orange buttoned shirt with a burgundy skirt, green tights and black toecap ankle boots.
==Trivia== 
*In "Horrid Henry and the Bogey Babysitter", Henry describes her as 10 feet tall to the police, with teeth like icebergs.
*She was the worst teacher Miss Oddbod has employed to her school since she hadn't taught Henry's class anything the whole day, which Brainy Brian complained about. She’s worse than Mr Nerdon, as he at least taught Henry's class different subjects in "Horrid Henry and the New Teacher" and cared about their knowledge and well-being, despite despising them.
*She’s evidently the most abusive character in the whole series.
