Becky Blackbell

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

- Becky Blackbell in Chapter 9

Becky Blackbell (ベッキー・ブラックベル) is the daughter of the CEO of Blackbell Heavy Industries, a major military manufacturer. She attends Eden Academy as part of Cecile House, 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 at home. 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, attempting to take Anya under her wing as an act of benevolence when she views Anya 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 Anya who is initially bullied by Damian's group. Anya's confident smile later wins over Becky's admiration.

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 seen to also have a somewhat low outlook on monetary value as seen when she doesn't show much 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. Becky 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 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 effort to get along with Damian is because Anya has a crush on him.

She can also be cold and mean, though she rarely shows this side of herself. When George Glooman arrives at school the day after he claimed that he would have to leave Eden due to his father's company's apparent bankruptcy, Becky approached George and coldly said that he must give back every present their classmates gave to him.

Anya Forger
Anya is Becky's first close friend at Eden Academy. The two do not initially get off to a good start, with Becky viewing Anya as more childish than her and attempting to take care of her, causing Anya to ignore her attempts at socializing. After Anya smiles confidently at Damian's attempts to bully her, Becky changes her opinion of her and begins to view Anya as more mature, admiring her.

After Anya punches Damian in the face and uses his stepping on Becky's foot as an excuse, Becky becomes moved to tears and thanks Anya profusely. Becky and Anya become much closer, with Becky even offering to send Anya to school in her car. When their classmates isolate and gossip about them, Becky's honest and friendly nature is able to help Anya with her fear of school and her classmates' thoughts.

Becky is also one of Anya's 'favorite things.'

Damian Desmond
Becky is one of the few that do not try to befriend Damian for his father's position. She frequently defends Anya from his bullying, often expressing disgust when meeting him, and hinders Anya from apologizing to him.
