History

Rebecca was a Trueborn cadet of Clan Jade Falcon of the Hazen Bloodline.

Rebecca was trained by Falconer Derwin on Kerensky's Vision. Rebecca didn't take her Trial of Position and had to wait three months later to see a real combat.

The 12 October of 3151, a task force of Tamar Pact, the 1st Tamar Jaegers, led by Colonel Kritsada Sirisopa, arrived, to take the planet and training base, but their main objective was to take bondsmen as many cadets as they can. Rebecca received an old Hunchback IIC which threw sparks from one arm. However, they charged against the Jaegers, who began to give ground. Rebecca engaged a heavy Warhammer 'Mech, making him stagger after unloading her 'Mech's heavy autocannons... but Derwin was killed seconds after, and Sirisopa asked for the cadets' surrender. Rebecca, though her 'Mech was battered, spun toward the Jaeger commander's Cygnus which hammered the Hunchback with its autocannons, cutting both its legs. The OmniMech fell to ground, the last Falcon one to do so. During the fall, Rebecca's seat harness had snapped, and her head bounced against a control panel, so she had a broken nose and arm, and a black eye.

Rebecca was taken prisoner and carried to Sirisopa's new office, which was previously Derwin's. She was wounded but proud and arrogant, and when Krit said the Falcons had abandoned her, she attempted to attack him... but he subdued her easily and she promised to behave. During the talk, soon became evident than the young cadet had been feed with lots of propaganda and half-truths, and when Sirisopa tell her about Malvina's atrocities on Apostica or Arc-Royal, her confidence began to crumble, and after Krit promised her to allow all the cadets full access to the base's database, she listened him. After uncovering that Derwin attempted to kill all the combatants and base personnel with two Davy Crockett nukes, that shaken Rebecca and all other cadets to the core. After the 1st Jaegers returned to Arcturus, Rebecca was already Sirisopa's personal bondsmen, and as such assisted to a meeting of the Pact's high officers. Krit taught Rebecca silat Pattani, a form of martial arts, knife throwing and even some style of cook.

All Krit's training proved its worth the 27th April of 3152, when he and Rebecca assisted at a ducal marriage on Arcturus ducal palace: a group of rogue Falcons infiltrated on the wedding and attempted to assassinate the Pact's leadership, but they meet an unexpected opposition. When a fake server attempted to kill Sirisopa, Rebecca wounded him with a throwing knife. After he was killed by a soldier, she took the dead man's gun and handed it to Krit. Soon after, the group found another rogue Falcon had wounded Arcturus' duke, Sebastian Fyhne. Rebecca engaged the shooter, screeching a battle cry. That surprised the other Falcon, and Rebecca killed him with her knives, before tending the duke, saving him. For her heroic actions, Krit cut Rebecca's bondcord the same day, freeing her and welcoming the girl to Tamar's army. She, deeply moved, requested to renounce her claim to Bloodhouse Hazen, asking to be called Rebella Sirisopa. Krit agreed, and embraced the young girl which was now, de facto, her stepdaughter.
