Editing GWS:Rebecca Achilles (section)

== Style ==

Rebecca believes in the permanence of ideals, and particularly of her beloved Science! (always capitalized, always with an exclamation point, at least in her mind)  She does not, however, believe in the permanence of any human institution or effort.  She's been an outsider, in one way or another, for so long that she gleefully uses logic and intellect to dismantle the things that other people take for granted and consider important.

Apart from Science!, what Becky mostly believes in is Becky.  She believes in a good stiff drink (or twelve), in having a smoke near to hand at all times, in being flirted with by good looking men she has no intention of accomodating, and in a good knock-down drag out fight.  She's found that, with the proper effort and appropriately low standards, she can find all of these things in pretty much any port in the world.  And she has done, in many of them.

Because she believes in herself, and her own priorities far more than the concerns or fears of the more staid people she collides with, Becky has a strong habit of unintentionally changing people's lives:  sometimes she changes them for the better, and sometimes she changes them for the worse, but she very seldom leaves any town she passes through without a memory (or twelve) of her passing.  Indeed, watching her in action a person might be driven to wonder whether she worries '''at all''' about what the town will look like (or whether it will remain standing) after she's decided to pull up her tent pegs and move on.
