* IJustWantToBeNormal

to:

\n* IJustWantToBeNormal
AntiVillain: Unlike most of the super-powered criminals in the show, Rebecca wants to suppress her destructive powers with anti-epilepsy drugs and stop King from hurting other people. However, she injures, endangers, and in one case kills people with her powers during pharmacy robberies or attempts to stop her.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Rebecca hates how her powers cause destructive earthquakes that she can't always control. She tells King that she wants her old life back and if he can't give it to her, then maybe she should just kill him so he can't inflict the same misery on anyone else.
* JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife: Like most of the Global Tech super-powered individuals, Rebecca was recruited out of prison in the BackStory. She was serving a sentence for passing bad checks prior to the series and ends up stuck with destructive powers that she hates, and becomes a fugitive for killing someone while trying to steal drugs to suppress those powers.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Rebecca has very dark hair and very pale skin. She doubles as an AloofDarkHairedGirl due to her sense of bitterness and refusal to trust Jim when he tries to appeal to their CommonalityConnection.
