Becky Lawson

Full Name: Rebecca Lawson

Role: Henli’s best friend and roommate

Personality: Becky is the friend everyone needs — sharp, practical, and completely unafraid to say the thing that actually needs to be said. She has a natural split between her work self, which is focused and no-nonsense, and her off-duty self, which is playful and fond of true crime documentaries and catching popcorn in her mouth. She doesn’t coddle Henli, but she’s never unkind about it either — she has the rare gift of delivering hard truths with enough warmth that they land as help rather than criticism. She reads situations and people quickly, tends to be right about both, and has very little patience for unnecessary overthinking. She’s loyal to the bone and the kind of friend who shows up, stays, and nudges you off the couch when you need it.

Interesting Facts:

• Becky was the one who suggested the Vegas trip that started everything — and it was her idea to hit the card show while they were there. She had no idea what she was setting in motion.
• She has what Henli calls a “split personality” between Business Becky and regular Becky, and the people who have only met one version would probably not recognize the other.
