Stories that Haunt, Heal, and Hold on 

    Name: Rebecca “Becca” Billings

 

Age: 6 years old

 

Role: Daughter of Reggie and Karen; one of the Tanner Six (unbeknownst to her at this age)

 

Residence: Tanner, Ulster County, New York

 

Appearance: Warm brown skin, soft curls, bright, expressive eyes. At six, Rebecca has a gentle, sunny presence — denim overalls, pastel shirts, and a natural, easy smile. She moves with the carefree energy of childhood, but her eyes often linger on things longer than most kids her age.

 

Personality: Curious, observant, and quietly thoughtful. Rebecca is warm and affectionate, especially with her parents, but she also has moments of deep stillness — as if she’s listening to something no one else hears. She’s imaginative, empathetic, and surprisingly perceptive for her age.

 

Strengths:

• Highly intuitive

• Emotionally sensitive to others

• Strong imagination

• Quick learner

• Naturally brave in small, everyday ways

 

Weaknesses:

• Easily overwhelmed by intense emotions

• Sometimes withdraws when frightened

• Has trouble explaining what she senses or sees

 

Background: Rebecca is the beloved only child of Reggie and Karen Billings. At six, her world is filled with family warmth, school, and the sprawling Victorian home she explores like a castle. She doesn’t understand the strange moments that flicker at the edges of her memory — the shadows, the whispers, the feeling that she’s been somewhere she can’t describe — but they linger.

 

Current Arc (Book 2 Context): Rebecca’s childhood memories begin to resurface as she grows older, revealing that she was one of the Tanner Six, children touched by an ancient evil. At six, she is innocent, unaware, and vulnerable — but the seeds of her future strength, intuition, and connection to the supernatural are already present.
