## Early Life

Rebecca was born on October 18, 1371, in Fayview. She lived there until the age of 17 with her brother Jamie Phaser and her parents Marianne Rainelle and Jackson Phaser. With 3 years between them, Rebecca and  Jamie were quite close growing up. Aside from her  brother, during her childhood, Rebecca did not have many long term relationships. Her childhood best friend, Sally, moved away when she was 11 and the two lost contact shortly afterwards. Middle school consisted of a couple disastrous friendships and struggling with anxiety.

While she took classes in both Spanish and French, Rebecca’s interest in languages didn’t really start until after she spent the summer with her grandmother, Essie Reimer, when she was 14. Her grandmother, unbeknownst to her at the time, was a SHIELD agent who specializes in linguistics espionage. During the summer, Essie began to teach her granddaughter some of the basics of Arabic and Italian, as well as show her some of the non-espionage job opportunities. The summer didn’t just consist of language learning, Essie also devised a number of spy training exercises, which were passed off as fun games, to entertain her granddaughter. Rebecca didn’t find out the real purpose for these exercises for many years. These exercises not only piqued her interest in physical activity, which had been non-existent before, they also helped her cope with her anxiety and build confidence.

Rebecca returned home after that summer changed. She chose to focus more on her studies than building relationships, taking extra classes in Italian and German. With her brother moving away for university, Rebecca spent most of her spare time at the library and the gym.

## Academy

After graduating high school, fluent in Spanish and French, semi-fluent in Italian, and working on Arabic and German, Rebecca began her studies at Benard Sals College in New Jersey. Her goal was to become a translator.

Near the end of her first year, she was approached by a SHIELD recruiter and offered a position at the SHIELD Academy of Operations. Because of the nature of the position, she was advised not to tell many people about it. By the time Rebecca returned home for the summer, she had accepted the position, but did not tell her family. When asked about her plans for the next year, Rebecca pretended that she was returning to  Benard Sals. She only confided in her grandmother, who, to her surprise, was already aware of the decision. [[Essie Reimer|Essie then shared that she had been an agent for many years and had recommended Rebecca. She also shared how she had kept it all a secret from her family to keep them safe and encouraged Rebecca to continue doing what she was.

The new school year started with her brother dropping her off at Benard Sals College on his way to his university in New York. She taxis to the Academy.

After having problems with relationships in the past, Rebecca was quite weary about meeting her new roommate. Emily Namson was the exact opposite of Rebecca; she was bubbly, talkative, and a people-person. The two, despite their differences, soon became close friends. The Academy was fast paced and very different than anything Rebecca had ever experienced before. It was a mix of physical and mental training. And she loved it.

Her relationships with the other students were varied. After an incident with a student attempting to kiss her and a broken nose, and her quickly rising to the top of her class, the other students both respected and feared her. She would often be described as having a ‘heart of stone’, sometimes with admiration, and other times with contempt. It was a phrase that would follow her throughout her life. While Rebecca did well in all the subjects she especially excelled at languages. By the end of her first year, she had mastered German, Italian, and Russian, as well as starting another half a dozen languages.
