Rebecca Jones

## Background

### 1995 - 1996: Background

Everyone on the Northside & Southside of Riverdale was aware of the reputation that belonged to Margaret "Peggy" Jones, the girl that got around. She practically had relations with majority of the boys in town, a few of the girls & even some of the parents. While Peggy lived up to her reputation, she eventually found someone she wanted to be monogamous with: Clifford Blossom. Since no one knew of the relationship & both parties are now deceased, there's no way to know how the two actually got together but the relationship has a few truths. Both Clifford & Peggy did what they wanted to keep up the ruse that they were not involved but when Clifford came home for school or when he had Peggy come visit him at college, that was his girl. Emphasis on "was," because once she confided that she was pregnant, he refused to have anything to do with her.

Clifford's father had Peggy do a paternity test & when the tests confirmed it was a Blossom baby, both Clifford & his father tried to have her get an abortion. When she refused, Mr. Blossom gave both Peggy & her father a large sum of money to never report the relationship & for Peggy to move to Coast City to start a new life. To help move things along, Mr. Blossom got her a job with a family friend as a secretary for a R&D organization.

### 1996 - 2012: Rebecca Jones

Rebecca Jones was later born in Coast City to her single mother. It was just the two of them for awhile, with Peggy hiring the occasional nanny & having various boyfriends. One of her short term boyfriends got her pregnant & just like Clifford, he wanted nothing to do with her or their child. At the age of three, Rebecca became a big sister to Wendy. As the years went on, she soon became her primary caretaker as their mother tried to live well above their means.

Though the money Peggy received from the Blossoms was more than substantial, she began splurging on things they didn’t need. They could have easily stayed in a nice condo or apartment but Peggy desired on a high rise penthouse. When the money eventually ran out, Peggy reached out to the Blossoms but discovered that it was Clifford who was now in charge. He refused to give her money so she threatened him but he laughed her off, saying no one would believe "the Southside whore that slept with the whole town." Knowing he was right, she resorted to some particularly fucked up means & allowed her daughters to become experiments at her job. The girls were unaware, believing themselves to getting tested for a possible "genetic diseases."

Both girls later discovered they had superpowers dealing with the elements, Rebecca gaining control over water while Wendy could manipulate air. When Rebecca discovered her mother was the reason behind their powers & psychological abuse, her powers went haywire & she drowned her mother in a rage. Now sixteen & an orphan, Rebecca looked after her younger sister & was able to use her powers to keep them afloat. As time went on, they became criminals for hire & began calling themselves the Masters of Disaster.
