Calling herself 'Witchfire' and making a costume that had a ridiculous neckline to get extra views and subscribers, Rebecca was a viral sensation. When Flashman Talent learned of her magical talent, Funky Flashman suggested she start a MeVids channel, get a costume, and film herself stopping some criminal activity to boost her profile (since heroes were all the rage at the time). Rebecca's modeling eventually led to some acting and when she felt that she wanted to make acting her main career, she decided she had to get a talent agency to better represent her. While her magical ability with fire related spells rarely had any hiccups, Rebecca struggled with basic cantrips and fundamental sorcery for many years. Rebecca furthered her mystical development through self-study and a few online contacts she made in a number of web forums to mixed results. She paid bills by working at various times as a receptionist for Queen Consolidated, a waitress, a bartender, and an amateur model. Rebecca ended up in Star City for a while. Rebecca took Occult's denial as an insult. Having awakened her magical nature and cutting corners in her studies had left Rebecca with an abundance of fiery essence and that came with a temper. Occult complimented her magical studies, but told her that he did not feel she was a right fit for the "Gentleman of Gehenna" but would put her in contact with others who could further her magical study if she desired. With her newly acquired looks, Rebecca went to meet with Richard Occult and gave him what she thought was some sort of audition for joining his secret society of wizards. Using magic to remove her years-old burn scars, Rebecca discovered she was remarkably beautiful.
Stripping out of her clothes and performing the spell in front of a mirror, Rebecca smiled at the results. The first such spell she attempted was "Unmake Fire's Touch" on her scarred skin. Though she could now conjure flame and make it dance, there were other spells she could not practice at the orphanage, as they would have raised questions. She instead got a motel room and locked herself in for the weekend. When Rebecca turned eighteen, she left the orphanage behind her and took a bus for Central City to meet Richard Occult, ready to show him what she could do. He also gave her a business card for " Richard Occult, Private Eye" and told her to come see him when she was ready for volume two. The man left her with the book, telling her to keep practicing. Curious, Rebecca asked him what it was and he told her it was a natural talent for fire magic. Still, the man was impressed, explaining that he also sensed the power brewing within her. She tried to conjure a ball of fire in her hand but instead managed a foul waft of smoke. After advising her that it was not nice to steal things, he asked her to show him what she learned. familiar.Ī month after she stole the book, the same man from the alleyway found her in the midst of reading the book at a park not far from the orphanage, under the shade of a tree. She had wasted no time trying to perform its incantations, but though nothing seemed to happen, Rebecca could feel something happening inside her with every attempt. Rebecca almost missed getting back to the bus as she became obsessed with reading this spell book. Just as Rebecca had suspected, the tome was a book of magic, but not just any magic: fire magic. When he stepped away from his things to claim his coffee from the counter, Rebecca quickly snatched a large tome off the table and bolted out of C.C. Curious as to the identity of this man, Rebecca followed him to a nearby coffee shop. When the man collected his things and walked away, the door faded away. While Rebecca was exploring the city, she felt a strange pull to an alley and saw a man walk out of a free-standing door that just magically appeared in the middle of the alleyway, untethered to any structure. Rebecca did not really care much for the superhero shtick, but enjoyed a chance to explore a new city and quickly ditched the orphans with the intent on meeting up back at the bus before the return trip. When Rebecca was sixteen, she and the other orphans she lived with took a field trip to Central City's newly-built Flash Museum.
Complicating things more was Rebecca's constant misbehavior: Stealing things, lying, and always pulling pranks on the faculty and her peers. This same fire had left Rebecca with burn scars and skin grafts over sixty percent of her body, as well as giving her a number of health problems that made her an unappealing child to adopt. Rebecca remembers a childhood spent in a Keystone City orphanage after her parents died in a fire when Rebecca was seven years old.
