Becky Blackbell

"You and I should be best friends. After all, I'm the only one who knows how great you are!"

- Becky to Anya Forger in Chapter 9

Becky Blackbell (ベッキー・ブラックベル) is one of the main characters of the SPY x FAMILY series. She is the daughter of the CEO of Blackbell Heavy Industries, a major military manufacturer. She attends Eden Academy as part of Cecile Hall, Group 3, and is Anya Forger's best friend.

Appearance
Becky has shoulder-length dark brown hair with uneven bangs that are swept to the side and held with a hairclip that resembles a lit bomb. Her hair is typically tied into two side ponytails. She lets her hair down when she’s not at school. Her light brown eyes are narrow with double eyelids, and prominent upper and lower eyelashes. The eyebrows above her eyes are thin and short, and there is usually a slight blush on her face.

Like all other female students, she is usually seen wearing the Eden Academy uniform. Her hair is typically tied up with pink scrunchies, though she wears ribbons instead during the interclass dodgeball match.

Personality
Becky is a very kind child, but with her being the daughter of a major military manufacturer, she is shown to be somewhat prideful and tries to be mature, initially attempting to take Anya under her wing as an act of benevolence when she sees her as a brat. She does not attempt to get close to Damian Desmond despite his social position, even looking down on their classmates who try to befriend Damian and even Anya, who was bullied by Damian's group during their orientation. However, Anya's smug smile later won over Becky's admiration and respect.

Becky is quite patient, going along with Anya's desire to be called "Starlight Anya" after her success at getting a Stella Star. She is also a caring and protective girl as seen when she often confronts Damian whenever he bullies Anya, even saying that she'll protect her no matter what.

Becky is seen to have a somewhat low outlook on monetary value as seen when she shows little interest in mentioning how she gained presents such as a diamond embedded doll, and her own small house in her yard for doing well in school. At the same time, she is well aware of how rich she is. Her wealth often gives her what she wants, and periodically she willingly uses it to get what she desires.

Becky is also a romantic girl, being a big fan of romance movies and television shows like Berlint in Love, which she enjoys watching in her free time. She even thinks that Anya's efforts to get along with Damian is because Anya has a crush on him and tries to help her win his heart.

Becky can be mean, though she rarely shows this side of herself. Whenever arguing with Damian and his friends, she throws back just as nasty insults when they insult her and Anya. When George Glooman arrived at school the day after he claimed that he would have to leave Eden due to his family company's apparent bankruptcy, Becky coldly told George to return the gifts their classmates gave to him, which she later brought up as leverage to get a macaron from him.

Before meeting Anya, she used to act cocky and often engaged in brawls with other kids teasing them for their lower social position, having no friends at all and her only bond other than her father was with her butler Martha Marriott who's been a mother figure for Becky. Thanks to her friendship with Anya, Becky has shown to change her behavior toward others. Prove of this is when she invites Anya to go shopping together in order to make Anya get closer to Damian (and also to buy clothes to impress Loid Forger), while in the begining puts all her effort in helping Anya, she later focuses in buying dresses for herself, but then realizes she'd forgotten about helping Anya and embarrased asked her if she didn't like going out for shopping, which Anya said she'd so much fun, something that made Becky feel genuinely happy and the girls spent the rest of the evening shopping together (to the point of forgeting the reason they went to buy clothes on the first place). Martha pointed out that Anya was the first person Becky has truly cared for.

Abilities and Skills
Becky is still a child so most of her known abilities are limited.

Strength: Her strength is limited, but she was taught by Yor Forger some basic self-defense. When Damian annoys her and Anya, she says that she could hit him with her fist, referring to the punch Yor taught them.

Intelligence: Despite Becky not being among the highest grade students, she is very intelligent and studious since she has basic knowledge of many subjects, and from what can be seen, Becky passed all her midterm exams and ranked 42nd place overall.

Maturity: Although at certain moments she becomes very self-centered and spoiled (and it is understood by the environment in which she was raised), she comes to make decisions with maturity and responsibility as she is frequently advising and supporting of Anya, guiding and helping her in situations the girl does not understand. Even when Billy Squire hijacks the Eden buses, she quickly creates a plan to let know the people outside about their current situation.
