Backstory
Rebecca says what's on her mind, always. She appears cold, and arrogant, but her tough exterior hides a troubled past. At a young age, her father, an Englishman, abandoned her mother. To make ends meet, her mother worked as a cleaning lady (orang gaji) for a wealthy man. The man cared for both Rebecca and her mother very deeply and ended up marrying her mother. That was when Rebecca's nightmare started.
When she was 12, her "father" crept into her bed at night and all that was good and innocent in her died. Rebecca kept it to herself for a long time because first she was ashamed, and later because she saw how happy her mother was. She couldn't bear to take that away from her, and see her working as a maid again. At 13, Rebecca ran away from home. Her mother and stepfather found her and took her home. At 14 she attempted suicide by drinking poison. She was saved. At 15, begged to be sent to boarding school. Her stepfather objected, but Rebecca warned that she would kill herself.
In boarding school, Rebecca excelled in her studies, and every other girl hated her for her antisocial behavior. Her interest in journalism stemmed from the need to expose the truth. Once she left home, she never went back. She cut all ties with her mother, and her stepfather. After university, she joined the Tribune, and quickly became a top notch reporter. She has never had a relationship with any man. She left the Tribune, for The Voice because one of her colleagues "wanted to know her better (romantically)". Rebecca crumbles at the prospect of anyone getting to know her. Despite her facade of confidence, she always feels that she is spoiled goods, and not worthy to be loved. Or to love.
