Rebecca Iko: Difference between revisions

Rebecca, or Bec as she is known to most people (if not all) grew up on Earth in a small town known as Campbelltown near Sydney, Australia, as the youngest of 4 with three older human-hybrid stepbrothers. During her childhood, she often faced teasing and judgement - most of which came from her mother. it's a subject she keeps private.

She often spent her time out of the house, and most of that time was spent at a now-abandoned train station. during her teenage years, she was also often accompanied by the Ex-Borg "Grace". They had a close relationship that unfortunately began its downfall in Bec's Academy days when she went one way and Grace went another. They haven't talked since then.

If it wasn't the train station, Bec would often be hanging out with her brothers. She filled the role of a mother and often they would discuss their paternal heritage (something strictly forbidden at home). Once they made it to one of Sydney's many multi-cultural festivals where each of them purchased a small sentimental item, giggling with glee and fear while on the trip back home. Only one of these little charms was found by their mother - Brandon's earring. It might have been one of the last straws that caused Brandon to leave (presumably) for Risa.

Bec applied for and was accepted into Starfleet Academy in 2393, however, she had to retake her first year due to failing, not one, but several subjects. Bec took basic classes in engineering, security and Medical, not yet quite sure which direction she would head into. That year's results were clear, as both engineering and medical ended up coming back with atrocious grades, despite her studying efforts. She continued in security for the rest of her academy days. Bec didn't have many friends at the academy, as she was mainly found studying or catching up on last-minute work, determined not to let her chance at being a Starfleet officer float away in the wind. When she got to Amity she found everyone clearly already forming friendships and acquaintances but found it surprisingly easy to scoot into those groups and determine her small corner of mates. She never thinks too much about climbing the ranks - other than getting out of the Academy.
