She is a fierce defender of cytonics and believes the [[DDF]] falsified the account of [[Zeen Nightshade|her son's]] betrayal during the [[Battle of Alta]] because they were afraid of his cytonic abilities.{{book ref|Skyward|45}}

=== Cytonic Abilities ===
Becca has cytonic abilities, though her knowledge and training are limited.{{book ref|Starsight|i|2}}{{book ref|sf1|7}} Prior to Jorgen's discovery of the [[taynix]] on Detrtius, she admitssays that she is not strong enough to performuse more difficultadvanced applicationscytonic abilities, like travel through the nowhere.;{{book ref|Starsight|i|2}} Howeverhowever, she later apparently hyperjumpedhyperjumps atwith the[[Cobb]] endto ofescape ReDawnthe Superiority,{{book ref|sf2|23}} though [[Alanik]] is unable to wherecytonically islocate unknownher afterwards.{{book ref|ReDawnsf1|epilogue}} Despite her blindness, she has an unerring ability to focus on someone during a conversation, tell when someone has arrived before they speak, and notice even minute details like someone rolling or opening their eyes;{{book ref|Skyward|1}}{{book ref|Skyward|45}}{{book ref|Starsight|i|2}} this suggests she uses her cytonic abilities to Sense the world around her and overcome her blindness, much like [[Jason Write]] did.{{book ref|Defending Elysium}} She also claims to be able to "hear" Cobb, which surprises Alanik, who believes it is impossible to cytonically sense people who aren't cytonics.{{book ref|sf2|23}} Becca is also able to engage in faster-than-light communication with Spensa,{{book ref|Starsight|25}} though she was not strong enough to maintain the connection for long.{{book ref|Starsight|i|2}} [[Nedd Strong]] appears to believe that she has the power to cytonically read minds,{{book ref|sf1|3}} though that seems unlikely as it has long been considered impossible.{{book ref|Defending Elysium}} She also seems to be able to locate non-Cytonic individuals and other non-Cytonic creatures with her mind, while other Cytonics believe this to be impossible.{{book ref|ReDawn}}
