Description
I can't believe I'm venturing back to this corner of the Disneyverse, but a few people have asked me about my creative choices regarding Rebecca and DWoW, so I figure I'd post an explanation.
Before I do, please note I excluded her heart cheek on purpose since it's not a natural spot so I decided she wouldn't have it n death.
Now then:
People who knew me during my DWoW days know I play Rebecca and know, in turn, she died a few years ago. What they may not know is why I have requested she remain deceased.
Anyone who remembers DWoW Rebecca remembers how fragile she was, mentally. Traumatized early on by a pup she thought loved her, driven by fatigue, shattered relief and a broken heart to self-mutilation, losing her big-sister figure... she was a shell of the girl living in De Vil Ville, surviving day by day in a war zone.
Actually, I'm gonna take a break from this and note that looking back, I'm not entirely happy with my choices for Rebecca's early storyline: now that I've a better grasp of her character I dont' think she would have hurt herself that way but I was trying to win the sympathy card (in character) over... everything else going on, which I did, but if I had the chance to start again from scratch, I would've drawn on her strength. She is strong, Rebecca is... but circumstances being what they were, I decided to call on my hears of experience in the tragedy genre and again, succeeded.
Now that that's out of the way, back to the story.
Rebecca's death was a blessing for her. Her body and mind were once again at peace. In the Palace of the Great Kings (at least at the time, things have changed since I left) the dead could spend their afterlife free of pain, anxiety, all of that. Rebecca knew she'd never be able to return to De Vil Ville, but now she had a new home, a better, safe, beautiful home she had no desire to leave.
If she had, it would have broken her beyond any feasible repair. Taking someone like her and tossing her back into a broken body, a war filled with the injured, loss, illness and constant tension ... it would have overwhelmed her. She wouldn't revert mentally, but being ripped away from her paradise back into this? Something in her would have snapped in far worse a way than before... I fear she may have become catatonic and maybe suicidal... and no amount of shipping would have fixed her. She never wanted to fight, and could not bare to see someone else she cared about fall ill or die like Penny had. I said she wouldn't revert and I meant it but she would have been left with severe PTSD and probably would have had to remained confined for her own safety.
I couldn't do that to her. In good conscience, I could not throw that poor girl back into the war. Fictional or not, beloved or not, her pain has ended and she deserves to rest in peace.
