Born in 1993 Rebecca hails from the town of Keepton in the Alps. Her father was a local GP and her mother ran a florists. She has an older brother Simon and a younger sister Megan. The family would often spend summer holidays in different countries with her father encouraging the youngsters to get involved in adventurous activities.
At the age of nine Rebecca was considered to have significant potential as a cross country runner and was beginning to gain offers from prestigious private schools for scholarships. By the age of 11 her parents had made the decision that they would send her to Northfort Girls Academy as a boarder. While Rebecca seemed to plateau in running she did become an excellent science student and in 2011 graduated with top grades in Chemistry, Biology and Maths. She was accepted into the Army College of Higher Education to study medicine.
While at the College she was attached during her training to a unit attached to the Alpine Cadre at her request as it had ties back to her hometown of Keepton. She represented Duke Legion at several of the Ostlake Games with her best performance coming in 2013 when she won a Silver in the Triathlon. In 2018 she graduated as a doctor and as all students at the Army College do entered military service on a minimum ten year contract. She was made, rather unsurprisingly, a member of the Army Medical Corps but was attached to the Alpine Cadre after passing their specific training tests. She has since seen service in Seaforth, Academica and Mavrosia.
In 2022 she passed the various tests required to be a member of the Joint Special Forces Aviation Wing and has her winged dagger as a result. She has however not been permanently placed with the JSFAW but has served as a member of their teams who accompany the Royal Family on overseas visits, mainly as after the first sortie on Ironside One the King discovered her connection to the Alpine Cadre.
As of November 2023 she had just gained promotion to the rank of Captain.
She has served as a medical officer in the Cadre since 2016 and
