## Appearance

Becca is a teenage gray rabbit with purple and black hair and long ears, green eyes, a yellow shirt with a sideways lightning bolt on it, blue ripped jeans and small white spherical tail between the top of her legs. She also has gray socks, and black shoes with white stripes on it.

## Personality

Becca is seen to portray as an independent, sassy and snarky character, often quipping sarcastic one-liners in a comical way. This side of her is shown a lot when making her song against Angela to insult her, trying to prove she is better than Angela and that people were wrong about her. She has a strong ego, and oftentimes can be quite rude.

Becca is also seen to be adventurous and risk-taking, she likes parachuting and bike racing as it gives her an exhilarating thrill whilst with her friends. She feels proud and worthy of winning when she does and likes to challenge people to show her capability. Despite this, Becca can also be more laid back and calm when she is around her friends, while not exactly lazy, she likes to talk and gossip with her friends, most prevalently with Angela.

Becca can keep her responsibility at times, as she takes turns with Angela cleaning the apartment they live in to do their fair share of work around the building. She tries to convince Tom to stop his food cult in "Tom the Guru" and even tries to wrestle her groceries from a person trying to steal them. When she realizes Hank is not ready for romance and dating, she accepts and understands that and she simply becomes friends with Hank.

She's also protective of her friends, when she heard Angela was sad after she thinks she will breakup with Tom in "Breakup Curse" she goes to her and tries to comfort Angela, eventually motivating her to try and change their luck so her and Tom can stay as a couple.

If Becca gets sad and/or feels betrayed, she will become frustrated and do anything in her way to take vengeance on the person that wronged her or her friends. As seen with Angela in "Who is Becca?" after Angela splashes mud on Becca's face with her scooter, she would presumably do that with a diss track to bring them down.

Becca has an interest in more negative and darker tones, as shown in "Roommate War" when she wants to throw a party with Halloween-esque decorations. Despite this, she can still become frightened and scared such as when she met a real ghost in "The New Old Roommate".

## Relationships

**Angela**:

Becca is Angela's biggest fan, good friend, and roommate. When the two first met, Angela was unaware of Becca, and accidentally splashed mud on her while taking a hurt fan to a hospital during one of her concerts. This inspired Becca to write a diss track about Angela, aspiring to throw Angela out-of-business. In an attempt to get even with her, Angela got back at Becca by writing a counter song, although this caused Becca to retire, and go back to her old job at a frozen fruit stand.

Angela visited Becca during that time, and after learning that what happened was a misunderstanding, the two set apart their differences and wrote a song together. Since the events of "The New Old Roommate", Becca has also been Angela's roommate.

**Hank**:

Hank is Becca's crush. This fact was first revealed in "Boyfriend Stealer", when Becca admitted it to Angela after being accused of attempting to steal Tom from her. Becca has admired Hank since the two first met, and it is said she enjoys his chill and laid-back personality. Although Hank and Becca dated in "Hank's First Date", later on, she has agreed that Hank is not ready for romance.

## Conception

Becca's design was originally concepted by Eran Alboher, who around the time was tasked with creating a new character for the Talking Tom & Friends franchise, in order to prove himself capable of becoming a senior art designer at the company.

The design was put aside for several years, until discussions about potential business decisions began rising at Outfit7, which included a potential new addition to the cast. The ideas were to tell interesting new stories, expand existing characters even further, and establish more female representation to the group by introducing a new friend. The latter went through, and before concepting the character design, the surrounding ideas for the character were instead focused on her personality. The basis was described as having Becca "cool, witty, nonconformist, and fiercely independent. A bit of a rebel whose tastes don’t fall in the mainstream." Afterwards, Outfit7 began to browse previous concepts for character designs that had been set aside. Eran's gray rabbit character was chosen, as the other members simply thought that it "fit". The final result was polished strategically, in an attempt to expand the brand's appeal.

Her interests and hobbies are not mainstream. Maybe she feels distant and difficult to approach, but once you gain her trust, she will treat you like family. Her friends love her relaxed demeanor, which speaks to her confidence and candor. She understands how important it is to be yourself, but sometimes her directness can be off-putting or abrasive. Although she has a strong ego, she knows that nothing can compare to having a group of reliable friends.*"), *Retrieved 21-10-23*
