As a Bookish Governess, Rebecca solves her problems with logic and her Eidetic Memory. She uses her knowledge to Teach and Care for her wards and whoever will listen, even outside of those under her care. She hopes to make an impression on others, but most of the upper class dismiss her as Only The Governess, both ignoring what she's learned and who she is.

Standing On Her Own, Rebecca knows that others may look down on her Self-Reliant attitude but she won't let that stop her. She intends to make something of herself, thinking for herself and trying to find those of a similar mind. Dealing with the upper crust as she has to for her profession, she knows she should keep quiet. Since coming into her power, she's found it harder to do so.

The Enchantress of Avalon gives Rebecca the powers of Avalonian Magic, home of the world's knowledge of magic according to legend. She still plans to experiment with the powers given, Endless Curiosity giving her the chance to use this power as needed for the problem at hand. Due to Morgan's power relating to Astrology, the Open Sky allows her to increase the efficiency and potency of her magic.

Hands That Mend, unlike the spells of magic, are a more mysterious force directly applying from her hands to heal those who she wishes to care for. The major drawback is that it doesn't function in darkness, which means that it can be difficult to use without forethought.

A Day in the Life

A boy of no more than 8 stands on the top of a metal railing, balancing himself as best as he can. A girl, likely 10, is not paying attention to the boy, instead focused intently on a book in front of her. From the next room, Rebecca takes a step into view of the boy and raises her voice over towards the boy.

"Nathaniel! Get off of there!"

The surprise on Nathaniel's face, the sudden turn by the girl and Rebecca knew something would happen. It always does. She was already setting down her books as Nathaniel began to wave his arms, losing his balance and flailing to try to regain it. Without thinking, Rebecca's hands both move to the right as a gentle force pushes Nathaniel to the side of the girl, and unfortunately for the boy, a sturdy wooden table.

"She told you before not to do that."

"Not now, Elizabeth. Is he alright?" Nathaniel's eyes begin to well up in tears as the pain from the fall kicks into him. Rebecca is already there, trying to comfort the boy. As much as he shouldn't be climbing up there, has no one else been there, it could have been much worse. Nathaniel's forehead shows the sign of a gash, one that hasn't been noticed yet by either of the children.

"Don't worry yourself, Nathaniel. It will be okay. It's just a scratch." Before either child could think about it too much, Rebecca's hands are on the wound, which quickly heals under the light of her hand and the sun. "Now, I did tell you not to do that. If you want to practice your balance, find a place closer to the ground. Now, we have to get back to arithmetic, unless you want to talk to your parents?"

Elizabeth sighs in the background as Nathaniel shakes his head. Elizabeth speaks up as she looks at Rebecca. "Why arithmetic? Father says it isn't important.."

"And what does Father say about that book on Greek Mythology that you were just reading?" Elizabeth and Rebecca share a playful moment before the lesson begins in earnest, the three of them surrounding the table.
