Rebecca Pennyworth

Rebecca of Carteret, née Rebecca Pennyworth, is the Queen Regent of Carteret, and was previously its Queen Consort.

Rebecca was born and grew up in Denvorn, and her father was Queen Jovanna's Minister of Foreign Affairs. As such, Rebecca was part of the court since an early age, and was, along with her twin brother Reginald, a childhood friend of Prince Bastian of Denvorn.

Prior to leaving Denvorn Rebecca was one of the editors for her mother's press empire. Despite this, her father pressured her to convince Bastian to ask for her hand in marriage, anxious to be the grandfather of a King or a Queen. But as Bastian and Rebecca were never more than friends, Rebecca was deemed to be a failure by her father, something she was always self-conscious about.

Rebecca accompanied her parents and the Denvornian committee to Carteret for the celebrations of the centennial of the truce. There, she met Karl of Carteret, whom she initially disliked, especially after finding out that Bastian was interested in courting him. When Elaine of Erenford was abducted and Denvorn sent Bastian on her pursuit, she was offended when he chose her twin brother for his escort and not her. After receiving word of Reginald's death early on the campaign, she defied her family and set out to look for Elaine herself.

She teams up with Kent in Kightsbridge and the two arrive just short of rescuing Elaine, as she comandeered the Bobble-Headed Man's personal wing and crashed it on the slope of the Mother's Mountains. Later, they meet up with Karl and Bastian and Rebecca discovers that Kent is actually the missing Prince Seth of Carteret.

After Seth is stabbed by Junior, Rebecca scares him off and helps him heal, traveling to Forest City with him where he reclaims his throne. Shortly afterwards she agrees to marry him, becoming the Queen Consort.
