Becky/Synopsis

## Biography

### Background

Much of Becky's history is left deliberately vague, but what we do know is she was a member of a roleplaying group, along with her boyfriend Brian, her cousin Denise, a man named Ted, and five others.

### Fairy Dance Arc

#### Pre-Episode 16

One day, the group discovered a game called ALfheim Online, a children's edutainment VRMMO set in a land of fairies, and saw it as the perfect place to live out their campaign, with Becky playing as a Sylph named Sakuya. Once they discovered how cool the game's flight mechanics was, the group began talking about the game online and it eventually became a sensation.

After a while, the players began to wonder what was at the top of the World Tree, a massive tree in the center of the game, as it was heavily guarded. As they speculated what kind of prizes awaited beyond such a quest, a rumor began to spread that whoever got to the top of the tree first would get their wish granted by the Fairy King, Oberon. With this incentive, Becky and her friends decided this was the perfect excuse to live out a campaign they wanted to do since they were children. And so, with each of the founding members acting as their race's leader, the players divided themselves into nine factions and began fighting in a "war" to see who could get to the top of the tree and get their wish granted first, dubbing this competition the "Race War".

However, things began to get messy between Brian and Becky. Becky started to get annoyed with Brian constantly comparing his job as a lifeguard to serving in the navy and Brian had to apologize on Becky's behalf when she vomited on their neighbor's dog more than once, something he was also apparently guilty of himself out of "solidarity". This, along with other unknown instances, caused Becky to think that Brian was obsessed with "controlling" their relationship.

The final straw appeared to be when Becky bought some opera tickets for the night that Brian planned to go to a Lakers game, something he had been talking about doing for months, and the two broke up. The fallout of this was messy, to the point that the two of them hacked into the other's account and stole each other characters to mess with the other, though it's unclear who did it first. With Brian now in control of Sakuya, the Queen of the Sylphs, he decided to use the Race War as an excuse to get the players to pick a side in his fight against Becky, which Becky, now in control of the Salamander King, Eugene, perpetuated.

As the Race War continued, the players got more and more violent towards each other, to the point that the Sylphs would hunt the Cait Sith like foxes and eat them. Eventually, Ted, who played under the name Kirito, tried get Brian and Becky to talk things out and stop the violence, to which Sakuya and Eugene responded by committing genocide against Ted's race, the Spriggans. As a result of this, the entire Spriggan race was viewed as "filthy" pests that needed to be killed on sight and they essentially became the punching bags of the game, to the point that none of them wanted to play anymore.

Sometime after this, Becky started dating a General in the Salamander army named PantySmasher, whose real name was Jonathan. However, despite the fact that Becky viewed this as a "healthy" relationship compared to her previous one, she would always complain about Brian and do things like decorating Eugene with a stupid looking armor and fidget spinner, claiming it was a medal, and making the Salamander's national anthem Sandstorm, simply because she knew it would annoy Brian, something that upset Jonathan. At some point, Eugune received a sword that had the ability to pass through anything that tried to block it.

#### Episode 16

One day, Eugene received news that Sakuya was holding a peace conference in Butterfly Valley with Princess Hime Kuronekodesuchan, Denise's character. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity to mess with Brian, and hunt a few Cait Sith, Eugene gathered his army, PantySmasher included, and flew to Butterfly Valley to attack the peace conference.

However, the attack is interrupted when a Spriggan crash lands between the two opposing factions, shocking everyone there, including the Sylph Princess, Leafa, who arrives as well. Doing his best to roleplay, the Spriggan introduces himself as Kirito, the Viscount of the Spriggan Ziggurat, despite the Salamanders pointing out that his gamer tag says "xVx\_K1r1t0\_xVx\_KillMe". Kirito then claims that he is there to speak on the behalf of his people, only for the Salamanders inform him that they killed all of the Spriggans. Caught off guard by this revelation, Kirito, with the help of Leafa, comes up with a story where he was adopted by the Undine, who sent him to join the Sylph/Cait Sith alliance. Sakuya is disgust by this claim, stating that she always knew there was something "off" about the Undine, to which Leafa tells her to "read the room". Ignoring Sakuya's response, Kirito tells the Salamanders that, if they attack the peace conference, they will be at war with the Sylphs, the Cait Sith, the Undine, and the Spriggans to a much lesser degree.

Hearing this, Eugene emerges and tells Kirito that his army will take their chances, remarking that the alliance will most likely eat each other within a week. Sakuya is offended by this, stating that, while the Cait Sith may be delicious, they are a "powerful and succulent ally", a statement that visibly shocks Hime. Despite the evidence stacking up against him, Kirito still refuses to back down, stating that the alliance forming in such unlikely circumstances only shows the strength of their resolve. However, this declaration is somewhat ruined when Kirito takes the opportunity to break character and ask Eugene if they ate the Spriggans. Eugene ignores Kirito's question, however, and offers to settle their feud one on one, "dingle to dingle", wanting to end the conflict quickly so they don't miss their pet bat Squeaker's baby shower. One of the Salamanders tries to tell Eugene something, but Eugene tells him save it for after he defeats the Spriggan, believing it will make his victory "all the sweeter". Although confused by the King's confidence, Kirito agrees to take Eugene up on his gentlemanly offer. Eugene then boasts to Sakuya about being called a gentleman, who responds in disgust, revealing his name to Kirito, which confuses him.

With Kirito off guard, Eugene takes this opportunity to reflect the sunlight off his sword, blinding Kirito. He then launches his attack, which Kirito attempts to block, but Eugene's sword passes through Kirito's and sends the latter face first into a cliff. Kirito then charges back into the fight, to which Eugene calls Kirito a typical Spriggan, voicing his disdain for their habit of always butting into people's business. Irritated by this, Kirito asks Eugene why the players hate Spriggans so much in this game. Eugene states that the answer should already be clear, since Kirito's using a variation of the name of ALO's great betrayer: Kirito Prime. Overwhelmed by this revelation, and due to Eugene having the upper hand, Kirito states that he "needs a minute" and casts Smokescreen, covering Butterfly Valley in a thick cloud of smoke. Annoyed by Kirito's antiques, Eugene swipes the smoke away, only to find that Kirito has vanished.

Kirito then calls out to Eugene, who looks up and gets blinded by the sun, just managing to see that Kirito's above him, flying down directly in the sun's light. Eugene is offended that Kirito would dare steal the former's tactics and goes to attack him. However, just as he swipes through Kirito's sword and is about to slash his throat, Kirito reveals that he stole Leafa's sword and uses it to block Eugene's attack. He then parries Euguene, stating that stealing the King's tactic is "just what [my] character would do". With the tables turned, and two swords in hand, Kirito begins slashing away at Eugene, ranting about how every time he tries to do the right thing it only causes him to lose the things he loves. Euguene tries to retaliate, but Kirito dodges his attack and stabs him in stomach. He then states that, to top off everything he's been dealing with, he's now learned that the players of ALO have somehow found a way to ruin his name. Kirito then deals the finishing blow, causing Eugene to burst into flames, wondering what Kirito meant by his last remark. The rest of the players look on in awe, as one Salamander asks why Eugene exploded.

With the fight over, Sakuya revives Eugene, who remarks how unusually civil this is of her. Sakuya clarifies that she only revived him to prevent the Salamanders from harassing them further, telling Eugene to pay her back for the diamond she used later. Eugene states that it's typical for Sakuya to not "loosen the purse strings a bit" for a revival spell. Sakuya gets offended by Eugene's remark, asking if he thinks her kingdom is cheap. Eugene states that he doesn't need to say that, since Sakuya's outfit is doing all the work for him. Sakuya then points out how ridiculous Eugene's armor looks, particularly with the fidget spinner he's decorated it with. Eugene explains that the fidget spinner is actually a medal, and it's the highest honor the Salamander military can bestow. Just then, a gust of wind causes the "medal" to spin, playing Sandstorm as it does. Eugene then states that the song is the Salamanders' national anthem, which always causes a veteran like him to tear up.

This comment causes Brian to break character and tell Becky that he never said he was a veteran, he just thinks that his job isn't that different from serving in the navy. Becky then snaps back at Brian, reminding him that he's just a lifeguard. As Brian and Becky mock each other's former characters and real-life interests, Jonathan emerges from the crowd and suggests that they call it a day. Becky assumes this is because Jonathan believes she won't be able to beat Brian due to being a woman, which Jonathan denies, claiming that he thinks they should get going if they want to binge the Crown. This amuses Brian, who remarks that Becky should learn to keep better control of her man. This enrages Becky, who remarks that Brian was always obsessed with control when they were dating. Brian counters that the only time he was being "controlling" was the incident with the dog.

Becky then reluctantly agrees with Jonathan, stating that fighting everyone at the peace conference isn't worth it. She then tells everyone that they should be lucky that she's in a healthy relationship now, before departing. As the Salamanders fly away, Becky thinks about how Brian always manages to annoy her and that she needs something to cheer her up. She then slips back into roleplaying mode to ask about the "good news" the Salamander was trying to say earlier, only to let out a mournful scream upon learning that Squeaker is dead.
