Personality:
Rebecca suffers from chronic depression and it shows in different ways. Due to her complicated life and issues in the real world, she seems to be almost afraid to return to the real world, and although the desire is certainly there, it almost seems to have been pushed into the back of her mind altogether.

History:
Rebecca uses SAO as an escape from the real world. The actual tragedy is that Rebecca cannot walk in the real world. She is confined to a wheel chair with no chance of ever walking, due to a rare birth defect she was born with. However, with the invention of the Neuro-Gear, she found an escape from the constant medicine, taunting and outright misery, making her ponder if she ever truly wants to escape the only world in which she will know the joy of walking down a beach on a summer evening. The freedom of running through a field. Perhaps even holding the hand of a lover.

Due to her affliction, she has spent much of her life going through mild to extreme depressions. Due to this, her parents were more concerned for her mental wellbeing rather than her physical health. Thus, they brought her to counseling and attempted to find an out to her pent up frustration and anger.

Ultimately, the doctor mentioned MMORPGs and videogames in general. This was the point when Rebecca became addicted to them. However, it more boosted her self-esteem and overall morale rather than hurting her in any way. As such, her parents supported it. Especially with the creation of the Neuro-Gear.

After it was announced, Rebecca immediately signed up to be a Beta Tester. This was the one thing she'd been waiting years to come across. Something to make her life truly have meaning, at least in some way. Even if it was strictly virtual.

Which brings us to where we are today. Unlike most of the players, Rebecca wasn't entirely concerned with being trapped in the game. She didn't want to log out, honestly. It would only lead to more pain.
