Rebecca

Rebecca Clovis is an Andras-born knight, Randolph Clovis's younger half-sister, and a former disciple of Pan Helliones. Her defeat by Theodore Miller begins a relationship that later lets her escape Andras, swear lifelong service to Theodore, and turn her martial training toward protecting and teaching his family.

Biography

Academy, Magic Contest, and National Service

Rebecca does not appear during Theodore's academy or first period of national service. The only “Becky” in the cited early chapter is the wife of a miller who opens her warehouse for the Miller Barony's victory festival; she is a separate person, not Rebecca Clovis. Rebecca's first unambiguous appearance comes later with the Andras delegation. (Chapters 51 and 86)

Elvenheim, Kargas, and the Pirate Archipelago

Rebecca enters Meltor as Pan Helliones's disciple and Andras's representative in a public duel with Theodore. Though close to Theodore's age, she is already a senior aura user whose paired scimitars deliver twelve near-simultaneous cuts and a short-lived storm of accelerated steel. She absorbs lightning damage without releasing her weapons and keeps attacking until exhaustion opens her defense; Theodore then defeats her with five combined shock impacts, and Pan formally concedes. Her loss helps Meltor obtain favorable armistice terms, making the personal duel a consequential act of national service even though Rebecca does not choose the negotiations herself. (Chapters 86–91)

While recovering, Rebecca explains the severe winner's custom of Andras and initially treats Theodore's request as a possible claim under that law. His real question concerns Randolph. She reveals that both were talented children of the fallen Clovis family, but their father could support only one candidate for mastery; Randolph fled rather than compete against his sister and left her the family's opportunity. Learning from Theodore that her brother survived and recovered their ancestral swords brings visible relief. Later references to her in Kargas compare other fighters to her or recall this connection; they do not establish that she traveled with Theodore during those incidents. (Chapters 90, 104, 122, 131, and 142)

Eastern Legacies, Quattro, and the Soldun Civil War

Randolph later returns to Andras to rescue Rebecca but finds her kept close to Pan and protected by the overwhelming threat of Zest Speitem. He joins Andras's knights and waits for an opening rather than risk her life. When both siblings are deployed to Soldun, Pan restrains Rebecca and claims that her shackles will destroy her unless Randolph leaves Theodore to release them. The threat proves false—Pan values his disciple and never intended to injure her—but it successfully removes Randolph from the duel. Rebecca's position is therefore central leverage in the conflict even while she is physically prevented from acting. (Chapters 221, 225, 226, and 228)

After Theodore defeats Pan, Rebecca and Randolph defect from Andras under Theodore's guarantee and Orta's protection. Rebecca then makes her own decisive choice: she swears the Clovis covenant of lifelong service to Theodore, promising that her life and sword will answer his command. She refuses to accompany him immediately because she judges herself too weak to protect him, setting sword mastery as the condition for returning. Theodore accepts the oath reluctantly, turning her escape from imperial custody into a chosen allegiance rather than a transfer between masters. The “Becky” mentioned earlier at Theodore's family banquet is Veronica under an assumed nickname, not Rebecca. (Chapters 186 and 228–232)

East Continent and the Northern War

Four months later Rebecca presents herself to Theodore's detached unit, having advanced to the last wall before sword mastery and the awakening of an Aura Ability. Theodore challenges whether she seeks battle merely as a springboard; Rebecca answers that she has sworn to be his sword and will accept whatever use—or restraint—he commands. He permits her to join on the condition that she obey operational orders. During the unit's infiltration she expresses disappointment that Theodore needs little close protection, but the corpus does not credit her with an independent decisive victory in this campaign. (Chapters 278–279)

After the northern war, Theodore considers Rebecca and Randolph as possible teachers for his younger brother Leonardo. Because Randolph's master rank and wartime service are likely to draw him into a high noble office, Theodore chooses to ask Rebecca instead. The assignment also gives her a practical way to protect the Miller family while she remains below the level at which Theodore would accept her as his frontline guard. (Chapter 303)

Prometheus and the Eastern Apocalypse

Rebecca has no established direct action in the Prometheus expedition or the Eastern apocalypse. The cited uses of “Becky” in this span address Veronica, Theodore's partner, rather than Rebecca Clovis. Rebecca's last established assignment therefore remains with the Miller family, training Leonardo and guarding the household while Theodore and other masters confront threats far beyond her stated rank. (Chapters 337–338, 367, and 377–378)

Marriage, Armageddon, and the New World

By Theodore's return before his wedding, Rebecca has become Leonardo's regular sword instructor. Under her teaching the fifteen-year-old can already manifest aura, while Rebecca herself handles his attacks without disturbed breathing. Theodore allows her five attacks and tests her balance with his own counters, finding master-level aura and stable technique, although Rebecca says she has only found the clue and has not fully awakened. She credits teaching Leonardo with helping her understand her own deficiencies. Theodore rewards her with an eastern curved sword for future use, and Rebecca continues to address him as her lord. (Chapter 381)

Leonardo's youthful affection for “Sister Rebecca” is discussed by Theodore and his family, but Rebecca does not state a reciprocal romance; any future relationship remains speculative within the corpus. The remaining “Becky” references during the wedding, Armageddon, and aftermath again refer to Veronica. Rebecca is not shown entering the space battle, and no death or later reassignment is reported, leaving her alive with the Miller household at the end of the supplied chapters. (Chapters 382, 384–385, and 398–399)

Appearance and personality

Rebecca has golden hair, green eyes, pale skin, and a disciplined body marked by training rather than ornament. At her introduction she wears armor and carries paired scimitars. Her cuts, lack of decoration, and distant expression give her what the narration calls a manly beauty and the presence of a steel knight; her resemblance to Randolph becomes clearer when she relaxes enough to smile and tease Theodore. (Chapters 86–90 and 231)

She is stoic about pain, direct about Andras's customs, and intensely serious about promises. Rebecca can joke, but her defining choices are made with knightly finality: she accepts her duel loss, waits through captivity, defects when freedom becomes possible, and offers Theodore an irrevocable oath. That devotion does not erase her judgment. She declines to follow him before she can contribute, accepts his restrictions in war, and later treats teaching as a path to her own growth rather than as an inferior duty. (Chapters 88–90, 231–232, 278, and 381)

Magic, abilities, and martial skills

Rebecca is an aura user, not a magician. Aura reinforces her body, protects her from spells, coats her blades, and permits bursts of motion beyond ordinary physics. Before master rank she can withstand residual lightning, remain combat-capable after a direct Lightning Spear, and unleash twelve alternating cuts quickly enough to resemble simultaneous attacks. Those feats have limits: her accelerated sword storm consumes aura and stamina rapidly, Theodore can redirect its relatively light blades, and exhaustion leaves her open to a decisive counterattack. (Chapters 86–88)

Her swordsmanship descends from the Clovis tradition but is not identical to Randolph's twin-falchion style. As Theodore later observes, Rebecca specializes in high-speed thrusts, while Randolph's paired blades are sharper and heavier. By the northern war she stands immediately below sword-master rank and is trying to discover an Aura Ability; years of teaching Leonardo bring her aura to a master-level quality, but Chapter 381 still describes the final awakening as incomplete. The corpus does not name an Aura Ability for her. (Chapters 87–90, 278, 303, and 381)

Rebecca also demonstrates the practical skills of a demanding instructor. Leonardo develops aura unusually young under her supervision, and she controls their spar without strain while encouraging his talent rather than claiming sole credit. Teaching helps her identify weaknesses in her own technique, showing that her progress comes through observation and disciplined repetition as well as battlefield pressure. (Chapters 303 and 381–382)

Power progression

Relationships

• Theodore Miller: Theodore defeats Rebecca without killing her, reunites her with news of Randolph, guarantees her defection, and accepts her lifelong oath. Rebecca treats him as her lord but refuses to become a burden; later she protects his family and trains his brother while continuing her own approach to mastery. (Chapters 86–91, 228–232, 278–303, and 381)
• Randolph Clovis: Randolph is Rebecca's older half-brother and the sibling who abandoned his own place in the Clovis succession so she could receive its training. His long effort to free her from Andras culminates in their joint defection. Rebecca makes her oath independently, though Randolph entrusts her to Theodore and remains protective of her future. (Chapters 90, 221–232, and 382)
• Pan Helliones: Pan is Rebecca's master in Andras and recognizes her as a brilliant disciple. He places her in the duel with Theodore and later uses her apparent danger to control Randolph, but he does not injure her and admits that he considers her too valuable to kill. Their relationship combines genuine martial investment with the coercion of imperial service. (Chapters 86–91 and 221–228)
• Orta: Orta accepts responsibility for moving and protecting Rebecca and Randolph after their defection. Rebecca does not develop a close personal bond with him in the supplied chapters, but his authority shields both siblings while Theodore is temporarily unable to return to Meltor. (Chapters 231–232)

Items

Rebecca has no permanent named inventory item required by the supplied link manifest. Her paired scimitars are her principal weapons during the duel with Theodore, and later she uses a single thrust-oriented sword while teaching Leonardo. The corpus does not give either weapon a stable name or a dedicated item identity. (Chapters 86–90 and 381)

The eastern curved sword Theodore gives Rebecca in Chapter 381 is described as the Wugou Sword and as a weapon she may be able to use after completing her growth. Because the supplied item inventory does not assign it a dedicated article for Rebecca, it is recorded here without an item link rather than treated as a separate catalog entry. (Chapter 381)
