Rebecca

**Rebecca** is the handler for Unit Bravo and the mother of the Detective in *The Wayhaven Chronicles.*

Rebecca's surname and appearance are dependent on the Detective's, therefore the player's choice, but in-story, Rebecca took her husband's name.

## Involvement

### Book One

Rebecca appears early in Book One, as the Agent meeting with Unit Bravo to assign them their current mission: find the rogue vampire while protecting his latest target--Wayhaven's brand-new detective and her child. She introduces the Detective to Unit Bravo, claiming that they are here to help with the recent murder in Wayhaven.

During the patrol, she's mentioned by the agent that finds the Detective and the unit member they're with. She has called in Unit Bravo for a late-night meeting.

After the Detective loses consciousness during the first fight with the thralls, Rebecca is called. The Detective is given proper clearance and she explains the truth to them and takes them to tour the Agency facility. On the tour, she explains the various supernaturals and where they come from while promising that she kept this world a secret out of love and that she will always be there for them. At the end of the tour, the Detective has the options to reconcile with Rebecca, push her farther away or continue their relationship as it was.

Later, when the Detective returns to their apartment, Rebecca checks in on them. When Murphy attacks the apartment, she orders them and one of the agents to flee while she and the remaining members of Unit Bravo fight the thralls. Upon learning that they were captured anyway, she despairs and contacts the Agency. She calls in Agent Chana to pull the location of Murphy's secret lab from a former thrall's mind and arms Unit Bravo with liquid DMB, breaking several Agency rules.

Following the showdown with Murphy, Rebecca is angry and terrified for her child. Once they recover enough for visitors, she blames herself for the situation. She tells them that the Agency has offered them a position, but is worried about what this will mean for their future.

She tells Unit Bravo to debrief the Detective on the results of their latest blood test before leaving to deal with more Agency business.

### Book Two

Rebecca meets the Detective at the warehouse where Unit Bravo has set up their base. She gives a tour of the facilities and explains what Unit Bravo's role will be in Wayhaven, as well as what the Detective's role will be. She and the Detective interact far more frequently, as she now debriefs them at all their missions.

More on Rebecca's husband is revealed in Book 2, and she is seen as still deeply grieving his loss. She tells the Detective that he was killed by supernaturals, but that the specifics of how he was killed are classified. When pressed, she admits that she doesn't really want to know these specifics.

## Personality

Rebecca is professional and calm. She is dedicated to both her work and her family, though she is a bit of a workaholic and struggles to find the balance between her career and her home life. She's a loving mother who tried to be in her child's life as much as possible growing up despite her demanding job. Rebecca is an intensely private woman, and secretive even towards those she loves or trusts. She kept the nature of her job a secret from the Detective their entire childhood and adolescence, as they didn't have the clearance needed to be informed. Likewise, she kept her child's existence secret from her team to protect their identity. As a professional, she makes hard decisions and lives with the consequences of those choices. She sees the big picture and prioritizes the many over the few (except when "the few" is her child).

She is responsible and immensely patient, as lives often depend on her being so. Having said that, when her child is endangered, all of this goes out the window, and she will do whatever it takes to protect them.

## Relationships

### Agent du Mortain

Rebecca regards du Mortain highly as a good friend and respects their leadership skills. She trusts them to complete the tasks she sets out for them, including the protection of her only child. In a tight pinch, she also knows she can count on them to bend the rules for her, though she would almost never ask them to. As a possible romantic interest for her child, Rebecca slightly favors du Mortain for their dependability and loyal, protective personality.

### Agent Sewell

Sewell and Rebecca have a close personal relationship outside of their professional one, and if Rebecca ever needed to talk about a personal issue, Sewell is who she would go to. (However, her professionalism prevents her from actually doing this.) The two interact in a friendly manner. As their handler, she counts on their strong ethics to be the team's moral compass in the field. She knows that Sewell will keep the team together and functioning if she can't be there.

### Agent Hauville

Rebecca views Hauville as the "heart" of the team and depends on them to provide their own unique perspective on missions. They are difficult to keep in line and don't always turn in their reports on time, but Rebecca deals with them with what seems to be fond exasperation. It was Rebecca's idea to include them on Unit Bravo in the first place.

### Agent Morgan/Mason

Agent M and Rebecca have a complicated relationship. The two aren't friends, but they have a strong bond of trust, respect, and loyalty. Rebecca trusts Agent M to follow her orders and to see Unit Bravo through any challenge they face, simply based on their loyalty and determination. While she finds them difficult to deal with sometimes, she values them as a member of her team.

### The Detective

How the Detective feels about their mother is entirely up to the player to decide, but Rebecca loves her child unconditionally, independent of their relationship. She is willing to do anything for them, including breaking Agency rules and endangering her job. Despite her demanding job, she has always tried to support her child when they needed her. If the Detective's backstory involves being a troublemaker, Rebecca was the one who pulled strings to allow them to join the police force rather than face jail time.

Rebecca was the one who informed the Agency of the Detective's blood mutation in order to gain full resources to protect them. She requested the mission be assigned to her and her team so that she could directly oversee it.

## Trivia

* Rebecca has a tattoo.
* When the Detective was young, she sang to them and has a very soft, pretty singing voice.
