** Becky is Evulz's [[UnholyMatrimony wife]] and [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen helps run his empire]].
** Every relationship Becky has has is with a villain.
* '''Downplayed:'''
** Evulz and Becky have ShipTease, but aren't explicitly in a relationship.
** Becky is the girlfriend of one of Evulz's {{mook}}s.
* '''Justified:'''
** Becky is just as power-hungry and ruthless as Evulz, so they [[BirdsOfAFeather have that in common.]]
** Becky is a MonsterFangirl.
** [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Evulz]] actually has [[AntiVillain some good traits]] that come out mostly around [[MoralityPet Becky]] and she loves him because of his better qualities.
** Evulz kidnapped Becky and she has StockholmSyndrome.
** Evulz hides most of his evil actions from Becky and she doesn't actually realise he's a villain.
** Evil pays well and Becky's a GoldDigger.
* '''Subverted:'''
** Becky is in love with Evulz, but he [[IgnoredEnamouredUnderling doesn't give two hoots about her.]]
** When Becky realises just how bad Evulz is, [[EveryoneHasStandards she breaks up with him.]]

* '''Exploited:''' The heroes kidnap Becky to distract Evulz from carrying out his EvilPlan.
* '''Deconstructed:''' Emperor Evulz being, well, evil, tends to be short-tempered, violent and lacking in empathy. He treats Becky more like a possession than a partner and ignores her wants and feelings, while also [[DomesticAbuse taking out his frustrations on her]]. Becky stays with Evulz despite his mistreatment because she's too afraid to leave him or because she futilely hopes he will change (or both).
