**Becky Stanton** *(neé Grace)* is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios*, and the deuteragonist of '*A New Day*'. After meeting up with her boyfriend Drew, Becky became a high-ranking member of Sanctuary, where she fell pregnant with Drew's baby. She became a prisoner in Hometown after the failed First Hometown Uprising and allied herself with a newcomer, the mysterious Edwards, to eventually escape. She gave birth to her daughter Sarah, made the journey to Greencole with her group and married Drew. Her cunning and resourcefulness allowed her to become a high-ranking resident of Greencole, becoming the leader of the Greencole Militia. Although her relationship with Drew was often turbulent, their relationship was one of the longest and closest in the series. She became one of Edwards' closest friends and advisors over the course of the series.

## Overview

### Personality

Becky is a feisty, brave and extremely capable survivor. She mostly appears hot-headed and single-minded about the situation she is placed in. She has little room for humour and shows little hesitation in killing a posed threat. Despite her seriousness and a rather sharp attitude, Becky has proven to show great care for the members of her group as well as their well being.

Becky heavily relies on other people and it is clear that she has little experience of being by herself. Perhaps the first time she was ever alone, Becky reacted with anger, which can also perhaps indicate she is good at dealing with other people's emotional situations, but not so much at her own.

After Katrina's death, Becky became consumed by vengeance, which eventually led to her death.

## Pre-Apocalypse

### The City

Not much is known about Becky's life before the outbreak. At some point, she met Drew Stanton and entered a relationship with him.

## Death

### Killed by:

* Rictor *(alive)*

Seeking vengeance for Katrina's execution, Becky goes one-on-one with her killer, Rictor. Despite putting up a good fight, Rictor impales her with her spear. He then makes Drew watch as he shoots a crossbow bolt through her chest.

* Harry Edwards *(zombified)*

With Drew unable to put his reanimated wife down, he begs Edwards to do it for him. After saying goodbye, Edwards tearfully shoots her in the head while Drew screams in anguish.

## Killed Victims

* Audrey
* Numerous counts of zombies

## Relationships

### Harry Edwards

"*And what if they get in our way?"
 "Then we run them down,*"
—Becky responds to Edwards, before the group's attack on the Soap Factory[src]

## Trivia

* Becky was the second person shown to give birth after the outbreak, following Jess Black, and the first to survive the process after successfully delivering her child.
* Becky is one of the few characters EDStudios misses and regrets killing.
	+ Drew was originally going to be killed in Becky's place, with Becky to then take a similar arc to Drew through the rest of the series. EDStudios has expressed interest in a special episode which would have shown what would have happened had Becky survived instead of Drew.
