Cave Expedition Rebecca
Background / History
Rebecca is a Nordic athlete and professional mountaineer who knows Juno through their shared interest in cave exploration and extreme sports. Her expedition experience makes Sam, Holly, and Beth seek out her stories before the group enters the cave system. 7 8
She initially agrees to let the inexperienced Li Dan join Juno's expedition after his money upgrades the team’s equipment. Alongside Juno, she leads the team toward the cave and participates in photographing a half-eaten deer carcass discovered on the trail. 7 8
When the entrance collapses, Rebecca attempts to keep the group calm by noting that the guidebook indicates three alternate exits. Juno then admits that she secretly diverted them to an unmapped cavern, prompting Rebecca to condemn the decision as dangerously reckless. 10
After Juno's grenade sacrifice against the Evil Spirit Wendigo, Rebecca and Beth wait outside the blast area while Li Dan returns to investigate. Rebecca later helps Beth and Li Dan align their accounts of the expedition, anticipating scrutiny because Juno is the daughter of a council member. 16
Personality
Rebecca is an experienced, thrill-seeking explorer, though she remains more safety-conscious than Juno. She warns Juno not to climb ahead alone and recognizes the danger of an unfamiliar underground system. 8 11
Under immediate threat, she can assess risks calmly. When the sighted Evil Spirit Wendigo confronts the group, she urges Beth not to fire until they determine whether it is targeting them. 14
Her survival instinct can override loyalty: while hiding with Beth, she does not warn Juno that Juno’s shouting has drawn a nearby Wendigo away from them. 13

Rebecca of the Diana Incident
Background / History
Years after leaving home because of a traumatic childhood nightmare, Rebecca returns only to find that her younger brother Martin is suffering from the same darkness-triggered hauntings. She posts online seeking help, and Li Dan contacts her while presenting himself as an exorcist. 44
Li Dan meets Rebecca in a remote Georgia town. Prolonged harassment by the shadow-dwelling entity has left her terrified and mentally strained; she initially fears that Li Dan may be a fraud before his display of levitating cards convinces her otherwise. 45
Rebecca brings Li Dan to her family home after picking Martin up from school. There, she learns that her mother Sophie knew Diana’s name and had previously been connected to her, leading to a furious confrontation between mother and daughter. 46
Sophie eventually reveals that the original Diana had been her friend from a psychiatric hospital and a cultist who sacrificed herself to an evil entity. The resulting evil spirit used Diana's flesh as a vessel, killed Rebecca's father and his employees, and became trapped within that same body because of its dependence on the vessel. 46 48 49 50
After Li Dan contains Diana, he deploys her as a supernatural servant in later incidents, including the mutant-spider crisis. Diana subsequently merges with Li Dan during the confrontation with Mary Shaw and continues to serve in battles, but is later listed among the entities that died in the Collingwood Mental Hospital incident. 52 53 58 94 106
Personality
Rebecca is deeply frightened by Diana but remains proactive in seeking help for Martin and Sophie. She carefully describes Diana’s behavior to Li Dan, while avoiding prolonged recollection because she fears that thinking about the entity will draw its attention. 45
Her fear is closely tied to darkness; she waits in sunlight because light is the only thing that gives her a sense of safety. 45
When Brett is dragged away, Rebecca is overwhelmed with guilt and panic, but she continues to rely on Li Dan’s intervention to save him and protect her family. 48
