Description:
Becky is an attractive Caucasian woman in her early twenties. She wears her hair shorter than is the fashion, and prefers slacks or jeans when she can get away with it. However, Becky does own and know how to wear the latest Eastern fashions.
BACKGROUND
Rebecca Kingman (Becky to her friends) is the only child of wealthy cattle rancher Lance Kingman. Lance married late, and Rebecca's mother Colleen died when she was three. As a result, Becky was rather spoiled by her father early on, then developed a tomboy streak in her early teens. At a loss to handle his daughter, Lance sent her off to school back East.
Now she's graduated college, and returned to the Kingman Ranch, coincidentally just down the county from where the player characters are.
PERSONALITY
Becky is a feisty young woman who has conflicting impulses. She knows that in order to keep the ranch in her family, she's going to have to marry. But she hates the idea of being subordinate to a man. So she tends to run hot and cold towards men, particularly ones she's attracted to. Becky's one real soft spot is for her father, who is gettin up there in years.
Becky's goal in life is to keep the Kingman Ranch running successfully, and she'll do whatever lawful thing it takes to do so.
QUOTE
"This is the Twentieth Century, Mr. Eelsworth, and women have the right to vote now."
Becky has a pleasant alto voice that deepens a bit when she's angry.
POWERS/TACTICS
Becky has parlayed her education into an understanding of the business side of cattle ranching, though she's not particularly good at the actual cowhand part. She's bright, and more up-to-date than most of the men around her. Becky can use a gun if she has to, but it's not her first choice--a firm slap is more likely. She's on good terms with the local Sheriff, and is a member of a couple of influential clubs.
Becky prefers giving tongue-lashings to actual combat, and will (with some reluctance) defer to the nearest fight-competent male for instructions.
CAMPAIGN USE
Rebecca Kingman is the "fiesty girl" archetype of Western-setting Pulps. She's more likely to be someone's DNPC than a player character, but with a little upgrading (some combat skills or a high Paramedic roll) could become a Follower. Becky is suitable as a love interest for PCs or NPCs, or as a verbal sparring partner for the more sexist male characters.
Becky would not Hunt anyone herself--she'll call the sheriff.
