Rebekah Benfield

Rebekah Benfield is the second adopted daughter of Daniel Benfield. She is slightly careless and mostly silent, but has taken a large interest in sports.

Background
Rebekah was born on January 26, 2002, just over a year after Hannah. On a particular day in 2008, when she was six, she decided to be "it" and was the first to find the TARDIS, sitting on the corner of their church's lot.

Rebekah is usually seen as slightly fussy, but has gained some self-confidence over time. As Azumanga Who begins, she is nine years old.

Personality
Rebekah has a great interest in sports and is very competitive (much like Kagura), being the second-fastest runner in Daniel's first class. However, she is prone to fevers and on occasion has been dissected by aliens. She also plays "mental" games such as 3-D Chess, and lost several times in a row to Koyomiko.

Appearance
Rebekah looks like a typical nine-year-old, with green eyes and red hair that goes down to her shoulders. For special events, she wears a blue outfit similar to Hannah's.

Relationship with Daniel
"The fact that you don't use me or Sarah very much?"

Rebekah's relationship with Daniel is very slightly strained, being somewhat jealous of Hannah's constant being around him. However, she cares about her family very much and will do anything she can to help, as seen during the Great Battle.

She also enjoys her new friends and family, as seen during the second Culture Fest when she dresses up as a bear cub.

Azumanga Who
Rebekah is first seen examining the damage report for the TARDIS.

During the Great Battle, Rebekah rescues Sarah from being killed within a glass tube by using four inmates and an oxygen tank to free the small girl. After the two run from Susan Wise, they find themselves in a desert with no life of any sort; the two eventually die, never realizing that they were actually on a planet of sand in a universe of antimatter.

She is the same in the Realm of Possibility, except that she wishes to be a gymnast.

Azumanga Politburo: Project Alice
Rebekah's counterpart is Hakibar, who enjoys cooking with Chairperson Chiyo and is apparently well-liked by Comrade Sakaki.

Azumanga Randomness
In the original version of the forum-based story, Rebekah is usually seen with Sarah. Later, the two are slaughtered by a beast and their minds are put into Prinnies by Professor Saisei.

R&S Depression Syndrome
It is here that Rebekah dies, and it is revealed that she wanted such an end as she could not take what life was giving her anymore.
