Rebecca Walters (Barakian Army officer)

General **Rebecca Victoire Marie Louise Walters** (born November 12, 1902 – September 2, 1990) is a Barakian-born senior Barakian Army officer. She served as the commanding officer of the 17th Division, the Angels of Death in which role she was deployed to the Western Front of the First Agnus War in 1910 and in 1911 respectively. After serving valiantly in the First Agnus War, she was transferred to Commander of the Army`s Land Forces in 1911 and served there until 1912; she became Chief of the General Staff in 1912 and remained there until 1914 (the start of the First World War). Sometime during the later half of 1914, Rebecca, became Chief of the Defense Staff and remained in that post until her death in 1990. Her youngest daughter (aged elven-years-old) at the beginning of the Second World War would go onto to follow the same path as her mother; and would replace her as the commanding officer of the 17th Division, the Angels of Death. She is posthumously remembered for her contributions during the First and Second World War, as they helped pave the way for better communication between people of other races; her posthumous name is **The Most Honorable Lady Rebecca Walters, Hero of Baraka, and Honorable Chief of the Defense Staff**. Her alien title of *Verskia Von Einslya* is most accurately translated to English as **Duchess Rebecca Walters, the Hero of the Milky Way and the Galaxies that surround Earth**.

## Military Career

### **Early career**

Born in Brunswick Manor, Belladonna the daughter of Marquess Robert Walters and Marchioness Victoire Walters, Rebecca was educated at the Royal Wyndemere Military Academy of Baraka and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in Sandhurst, Berkshire. She was drafted into the 17th Division as a second lieutenant on 17 December, 1907 (at age five), initially holding a short service commission. Promoted to lieutenant on 8 April 1908, she switched to a full career commission in 1909, and was promoted to captain in early 1910. As a junior officer, she also handled relations with other junior officers hailing from other galaxies; she was later appointed as commander of the 17th Division in late 1910 which surprised even her own family.

#### **First Agnus War**

The Kingdom of Agnus, which had been rapidly destabilizing ever since the early 1st-century had completely collapsed; while it had been active, Agnus had served as a buffer zone between Baraka and other more hostile entities like Avalon and Loran (though Loran was technically rapidly destabilizing themselves), as Agnus was physically imperative for their survival. In an effort to weaken support for the native Agnusians rapidly fleeing the country, Avalon`s Armed Forces attacked nearby countries (including Baraka and it`s incredibly neutral neighbor, Corthe Star); these "blind attacks" caused only rage and spite towards Avalon and it`s people. Thousands of non-native Avalonians were expelled from the places where they had once lived and settled, forced to return to a nation where people hated each other with great passion and murder was a common thing; Rebecca Walters was also injured in the "blink attacks" rescuing civilians which caused public outrage. To counter Avalon and it`s crazy tactics, Rebecca and the 17th Division were sent to strategic places on the Western Front to observe their tactics and counter them.
