— Becky to Anya Forger

Appearance

Becky is a young girl with fair skin and shoulder-length dark brown hair with uneven bangs that are swept to the side. Her eyes are light brown (hazel in the cover of Volume 9), narrow-shaped with double eyelids, and have prominent upper and lower eyelashes. Her eyebrows are thin and short, and there is usually a slight blush on her face.

Like all other female students, Becky is usually seen wearing Eden Academy’s uniform. She also wears black knee-high socks and black shoes and carries around a brown schoolbag with a sheep keychain attached. During the interclass dodgeball match, Becky ties her hair with red ribbons when she is wearing the school gym uniform, along with black socks and gym shoes.

Becky’s hair is typically tied into two side ponytails, and they are tied up with pink scrunchies. Her bangs are also usually held up with a hairclip that resembles a lit bomb. Depending on the occasion, Becky lets her hair down, and her hairclips tend to change, especially when she is going out. So far, Becky has worn hairclips of a fighter jet, a flower, a butterfly, Yor’s earring, a heart arrow, an ammonite fossil, and a rose.

Becky is impressed by what she perceives as Anya’s maturity.

Becky is a very kind child, but as the daughter of an elite, she is shown to be somewhat prideful and tries to act more mature than she is, initially attempting to take Anya under her wing when she sees her as a brat. Becky does not attempt to get close to Damian Desmond despite his social position, even looking down on their classmates who try to befriend him. She also looked down on Anya when she was getting bullied by Damian’s group during their orientation, but Anya’s smug smile and defiance toward Damian later won over Becky’s admiration and respect, after which the two girls became friends.

Despite their difference in social status, Becky genuinely cares about Anya and supports her, although some of Anya’s words seem absurd or incomprehensible to her. She also cares what Anya thinks of her own actions and sometimes worries she is just dragging her along with her antics. When Anya gifts her a matching keychain as a sign of their friendship, Becky is touched by her friend’s gesture and accepts it, although the keychain would be considered a cheap trinket compared to the more expensive gifts she is accustomed to receiving.

Becky is also quite patient, going along with Anya’s desire to be called “Starlight Anya” after her success at getting a Stella Star, even though she quickly got annoyed by it. She is also a caring and protective girl as seen when she often confronts Damian whenever he bullies Anya, even promising to Anya that she will protect her no matter what.

Becky has proven to be fairly intelligent and academically gifted, ranking 42nd on her exam out of over 200 students, thus meeting Eden’s overall standards. She also strives to be an idealized version of an adult by engaging in such hobbies as watching adult romance TV programs. However, this has made it difficult for Becky to associate with her peers, making her friendless for a while.

Becky and Anya face off with Damian, Emile, and Ewen

Before meeting Anya, Becky often acted cocky and got into fights with other children after teasing them about their lower social status, which led to her having no friends. The only meaningful bond she had, aside from her parents, was with her butler, Martha Marriott, who serves as a mother figure. However, Becky’s friendship with Anya brings about a positive change in her behavior toward others. A key example is when she invites Anya on a shopping trip to help her get closer to Damian. Although she initially dedicates the outing to helping Anya, Becky eventually shifts her focus to buying dresses to impress Anya’s father, Loid. When Anya becomes tired from shopping, Becky begins to worry that she was just dragging her friend along and nervously asks if Anya disliked the outing. Anya’s cheerful response that she had so much fun makes Becky genuinely happy. As a keepsake, the girls each buy a sheep keychain and end up forgetting the original purpose of their trip. Later, Martha reflects that Anya is the first person Becky truly cares for.

Abilities and Skills

Sense of Style: Despite her young age, Becky is already well-versed in fashion and modern trends. In her free time, she is a favorite customer at many stores, where she often buys elegant outfits and sometimes orders them to her home for extended fittings. In addition, Becky is able to choose fashionable outfits not only for herself but also offers fashion advice to others.

Intelligence: Although Becky is not among the highest-grade students, she is very intelligent and studious, with a basic knowledge of many subjects. During her first term, she passed all of her midterm exams and ranked 42nd overall. In the term finals, she passed all of her exams and moved up to 38th place.

Crafting: Becky has demonstrated considerable skill in crafting. During an arts and crafts class, she independently created a paper model of Loid and outfitted it with a paper combat suit replicating her father’s company designs. She later crafted a paper model of a crocodile.

Maturity: Although she can be self-centered and spoiled at times—understandable given the environment in which she was raised—Becky often shows maturity and responsibility. She frequently advises and supports Anya, guiding her through situations she doesn’t understand. Even when Billy Squire and the Red Circus hijacked their bus, Becky, despite being scared for herself and Anya, devised a plan to alert people outside about their situation.
