Revision as of 03:43, 18 April 2019
I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. Finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm new to editing wikis, so I'm mostly going to be using this for figuring that out.
Current Projects
- Queen Tsa: Finished writing article; I have an ebook of Oathbringer coming in a few weeks, and I'll search that to make sure I'm not missing anything when it comes in.
- Gran-Gran (Becca Nightshade): Just started.
Becca Nightshade (Gran-Gran) was a member of the crew of the Defiant and is now a resident of Igneous Cavern.[1]
Appearance and Personality
Becca is mostly blind and has milky white eyes, having lost her vision a few years ago. She has sticklike arms.[1] Based on the amount of time since the crash of the Defiant, she is at least eighty years old.[2]
She is a fierce defender of Cytonics and believes the DDF falsified the account of her son's betrayal during the Battle of Alta because they were afraid of his Cytonic abilities.[3]
History
As a child, Becca lived on the the battle cruiser Defiant, where she worker in the engine room alongside her mother. When doing so, she practiced "listening to the stars."[1] During this time, she learned many ancient legends of Old Earth from her father.[3]
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.[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. [1]
Relationships
Spensa
Spensa's Mother
Abilities
As her mother, her son, and her granddaughter all have Cytonic abilities, it is likely that Becca does as well. The fact that her mother had her perform exercises to "listen to the stars" suggests that, at minimum, her mother though it likely that Becca would develop Cytonic abilities[1] and the DDF seems to believe that Cytonic abilities are inherited.[citation needed] Furthermore, despite her blindness, Becca is able to unerringly focus her eyes on Spensa during a conversation,[3] which seems similar to how Jason Write overcame his blindness by using his Cytonic abilities to Sense the world around him.[4]
