As a child, Becca lived on the the battle cruiser Defiant, where she worker in the engine room alongside [[Spensa's great-grandmother|her mother]]. When doing so, she practiced "listening to the stars."{{book ref|Skyward|1}} During this time, she learned many ancient legends of [[Earth (Skyward)|Old Earth]] from [[Spensa's great-grandfather|her father]].{{book ref|Skyward|45}}
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.{{book ref|Skyward|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.
== Relationships ==
=== Spensa ===
Spensa is very close to her grandmother. She enjoys all of Becca's stories about the warriors of Old Earth and frequently looks to them for inspiration and courage.{{book ref|Skyward|1}} After she begins to find out the truth of her father's Cytonic abilities and his actions during the Battle of Alta, Spensa seeks out Becca for answers, though they are not entirely to her liking.{{book ref|Skyward|45}} Ultimately, however, Spensa chooses her grandmother's tales of heroism over the DDF's fears of the "defect" and both flies{{book ref|Skyward|49}} and travels to space{{book ref|Skyward|55}} during the Second Battle of Alta.
=== Spensa's Mother ===

{{theory}}
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{{book ref|Skyward|1}} and the DDF seems to believe that Cytonic abilities are inherited.{{book ref|Skyward|40}} Furthermore, despite her blindness, Becca is able to unerringly focus her eyes on Spensa during a conversation,{{book ref|Skyward|45}} which seems similar to how [[Jason Write]] overcame his blindness by using his Cytonic abilities to Sense the world around him.{{book ref|elysium}} If Becca can use Cytonics in this way, that would explain her ability to tell when Spensa has come to visit her before Spensa even says a word.{{book ref|Skyward|1}}{{book ref|Skyward|45}}
