User blog comment:Neowitch/757 - The most disappointing female character in all of OP/@comment-1595565-20140820143237/@comment-10543621-20140821011307

Also I think one of the key points here is that Rebecca NEVER had the personality and temperament to back her abilities to begin with. The only reason why she got so good at surviving as a gladiator was entirely because of the skills Kyros taught her as a toy soldier, which was done out of necessity. She took the skills and adopted her own fighting style to suit her personality.

Her actual 'resolve' for wanting to go after the DF and mingo occured fairly recently, and we've seen that despite her the 'resolve' she made, she wasn't even able to change her innate personality of not wanting to directly injure anyone as seen from her colosseum fights. This more or less showed that she was never meant to be someone who could stand up and face things properly.

Also, to add on to the trauma bit, I think the fact that she only very recently regained all her memories and came to realisation that the toy soldier she's been growing up with was her own father, remembering the full contents of the tragedy etc, probably contributed quite a bit to the whole mental trauma issue and probably amplified it. I mean, if all of a sudden, all of these memories and realisations just flooded back, it's definitely going to be more traumatic than if you've known them all along, and have lived with those memories for a long time.

But to be honest, if there's one bit about her rescue by Kyros I didn't like, was the final scream of help. I understand that that was meant to hype up the epic entry of Kyros, finally managing to properly respond to his daughter's cry for help, but I do agree with Neo in that she could have at least dodged around a bit better and try and defend herself until help came, instead of lying there helplessly.
