Rebecca "Beckie" Royer (b. ca. AD 2080) was a teenager from the country of California in an alternate where the United States failed a few decades after its creation. In 2097, Beckie traveled to the country of Virginia with her grandmother, Myrtle Bentley. Her grandmother's brother-in-law, Uncle Luke, drove them across the border from Ohio into Elizabeth, Virginia. Luke brought a substantial number of firearms into Virginia with him, using his passengers' California passports as shields. Beckie knew what Luke was up to, but kept her peace until after he dropped them off in Elizabeth.
