Personality

Traits

• Direct: She gives Bella straightforward explanations rather than treating the curse as an ordinary family secret.
• Traditional: She understands the importance of Beaumont bloodline, names, marriages, ceremonies, and family continuation.
• Patient: She takes time to explain complicated aspects of the curse to Bella.
• Serious: Becca treats the curse as a genuine danger rather than something to be dismissed.
• Protective: Her willingness to teach Bella suggests that she wants Bella to understand what she is inheriting.
• Secretive: Despite explaining a great deal, she deliberately withholds information about what Raker discovered.

Flaws

• Withholds important information: She knows more about Raker's discovery than she tells Bella.

• Family traditions being abandoned.
• The curse becoming stronger through disobedience.
• The family's history being forgotten.
• The consequences of someone attempting to defeat the curse without understanding it.

Relationships

• Bella Beaumont — Bella is Becca's most important relationship in the story. Becca is chosen to teach Bella about the Beaumont curse as Bella reaches the age when she is expected to learn the family's deeper history.
  
  Becca explains that the curse is connected to the Beaumont bloodline and that its rules extend beyond individual family members. She teaches Bella that family continuation, names, traditions, marriages, and burial practices are all connected to the curse.
  
  She also explains that the curse does not simply punish someone for falling in love. Instead, it can punish the person they love.
  
  Becca therefore becomes one of the first people to give Bella a larger understanding of the world she was born into.
• Bianca Beaumont — Bianca strongly dislikes Becca.
  
  Bianca believes Becca should not be the person teaching Bella and openly resents the decision. She claims that she would be a better teacher herself.
  
  Their conflict appears to be more than a simple personality disagreement. Bianca wants control over Bella's education, while Becca represents the older system of Beaumont knowledge and tradition.
• Beatrice Beaumont — Beatrice is the person who chooses Becca to teach Bella.
  
  This gives Becca a position of authority that Bianca cannot simply override. Beatrice's decision indicates that Becca is trusted with important family knowledge.
• Raker Beaumont — Becca knows about Raker's unusual relationship with the Beaumont curse.
  
  She explains that Raker refused to follow the family's traditional naming system and attempted to understand where the curse came from. According to Becca, Raker eventually found something, although she does not tell Bella what that discovery was.
• Baldwin Beaumont — Becca is aware of Baldwin's place in the family's history. Baldwin's actions and knowledge remain connected to the inherited Beaumont curse and its protection of the bloodline.
• The Beaumont Family — Becca's relationship with the wider family is based heavily on preserving knowledge. She is part of the generation responsible for making sure that the younger Beaumonts understand what the family has inherited.

Hobbies

• Becca's personal hobbies are not established. Her known interests and activities include:
• Studying Beaumont family history.
• Teaching younger family members.
• Preserving knowledge about the curse.
• Understanding Beaumont traditions.
• Studying the relationship between the family and the curse.
• Passing historical knowledge between generations.

Backstory

Very little is established about Becca's childhood or personal life, but her position within the Beaumont family is clear.

She belongs to a family whose bloodline is governed by an ancient curse. The Beaumonts have survived for generations by following a complicated collection of traditions and rules.

Becca understands that the curse is not simply a supernatural entity attacking the family. She explains that the curse itself is a rule, while the spirit associated with it acts as an enforcer of that rule.

The curse is tied to the continuation of the Beaumont bloodline. Family names, traditions, marriages, burial practices, and the creation of new generations all contribute to maintaining the system.

Becca also explains that outsiders can become part of the family through traditional marriage ceremonies. Once accepted through the proper ceremony, they become subject to the same family system.

One of the most important things she teaches Bella is that the curse does not necessarily punish love directly. Instead, the person a Beaumont loves may become the target.

Becca also explains that nobody has successfully defeated the curse. The Beaumonts have instead survived by obeying its rules and learning how to live around them. Some family members have attempted to reject the system, only to disappear or die.

The family's naming tradition is another part of this inherited structure. Beaumont children are generally given names beginning with B, although the original reason for the tradition is no longer known.

Raker Beaumont was one of the notable exceptions. He refused to change his name and became increasingly interested in discovering the origin of the curse. Becca knows that Raker eventually found something, but she refuses to reveal the discovery to Bella.

Eventually, Beatrice chooses Becca to become Bella's teacher.

This decision places Becca directly between Bella and Bianca. Bianca dislikes Becca and insists that she would be a better teacher, but Becca is given the responsibility anyway.

Her role is therefore not simply to frighten Bella with stories about the family. She is preparing Bella to understand the system she was born into before the curse fully becomes her responsibility.
