== History ==
As a child, Becca lived on the the battle cruiser ''Defiant'', where she worked in the engine room alongside [[Spensa's great-grandmother|her mother]]. When doing so, she practiced "listening to the stars."{{book ref|Skyward|1}} During this time, she learned many ancient legends of [[Earth (Skyward)|Old Earth]] from [[Spensa's great-grandfather|her father]].{{book ref|Skyward|45}}
 
Not much is known about what she did in the years following the crash of the ''Defiant'', though she claims that those who worked in the engine room, Clan Motorskaps, stuck together.{{book ref|Skyward|1}} Since at least the time of her son's death, she has been living with her granddaughter, [[Spensa Nightshade]], and [[Spensa's mother]]. Since Spensa's mother is forbidden a job, she assists in keeping the family financially stable by helping prepare algae wraps and the rats Spensa kills to be sold. While living with Spensa, she frequently tells her granddaughter the stories of Old Earth heroes that she heard from her father and says that all of Old Earth's great warriors are Spensa's ancestors.{{book ref|Skyward|1}}
The library had a portal to the nowhere, and Jorgen understood the need to open it to shift the battle to his side. So, he went to it and was able to communicate with the cytonics behind it which included Gran-Gran and the Kitsen cytonics. Cobb was also there, transported by Becca on that last hyperjump. Jorgen understood that long time ago, the Kitsen cytonics had accidentally closed the portal behind them and got stuck, they asked for help but time passed and they lost hope, until they heard Gran-Gran. Jorgen, with the help of [[Juno]] and his meditation, opened the portal and freed them all. With this, Becca and Cobb also recovered their consciousness.{{book ref|sf3|17}}{{book ref|sf3|18}}
 
Becca is present at militaristic meetings, providing her input after Jorgen's promotion to admiral.{{book ref|sky3sky4|2}} Becca helps Spensa, telling her to bring support when she goes to ask [[Peg]] to close the [[acclivity stone]] mining stations from the inside. Becca stoped Spensa from leaving by sitting in her cockpit, knitting a seat cover for the starships until Spensa realized her faults. {{book ref|sky3sky4|12}}
