Red

NOTE: Rebecca should not be confused with her counterpart, Sally, who has similar hair and clothes.

Rebecca (a.k.a. Bertha, Red) is a character in the animated series South Park and a student at South Park Elementary and up until the sixth season, she was a character who never spoke on her own and was usually seen at the back of the main characters' class. Now she has spoken in many episodes, been shown in almost every episode, and is arguably the third-most prominent female character in 4th grade, behind Wendy and Bebe. She sits at the front of the main characters class, usually to the far right. Rebecca is one of "the popular girls" in the fourth grade. She is almost always shown with the other popular girls like Wendy, Bebe, Millie, Annie, Esther, Lola, Heidi, and sometimes Sally.

Appearance
She has similar hair to Wendy Testaburger, another female in her class, but instead of being black, her hair is red and a little shorter. She also has very similar hair to another girl named Sally. The two both have red hair and look very similar. She used to wear a dark blue jacket with purple pants. Now she wears a navy blue jacket with buttons and mauve trimming at the top instead. Her hair is red, like Sally's, albeit with the pattern of the bangs going the other way and also shorter in length. Because of her hair, and the color of her jacket, she is often confused with Sally (a.k.a. Powder). Rebecca and Sally also have a very similar voice. The differences in their appearances are that Rebecca doesn't have a butterfly clip in her hair, and Sally is in a blue sweater, and Sally also wears green pants, unlike Rebecca's which are blue.

In "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", she was shown to be wearing a violet jacket with tan trimming and matching mittens, while on the bus with Bebe (who also wore a different outfit).

In "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", an episode of season six, she was given her first speaking role. In this episode, Wendy brought up that she could stand Bebe anymore. The girls begin talking nastily about Bebe. Rebecca then says: "You know what I heard? I heard that she made out with eight different boys in one minute." After this she didn't speak untill season eight in "The Jeffersons" where she says two words. In season eight again, in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" she spoke a lot. After this season, primarily "Stupid Spoiled Whore Playset", Rebecca was considered as a secondary charactor. In season nine she played an important role in Marjorine where she was one of the girls at Heidi Turner's sleepover. In "Erection Day" she speaks again to Jimmy. Her role has been gradually increasing since this. Before, people used to recognize her as the red haired girl who was seen in the background of many episodes.

Rebecca is shown to be on the school cheerleading squad along with other girls like Bebe, Heidi, Esther, Annie, and another girl named Mandy, who has a lisp like Stan's sister Shelly Marsh. Rebecca is shown to be leading the team along with Bebe and Mandy. They performed in Douche and Turd in front of the whole school indroducing their mascot, Mooey the Cow, for the school pep rally.

In "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset", when she was dressed as a "stupid spoiled whore", Rebecca wore a violet bolero jacket with brown fur trim, an orange string bikini top, a denim miniskirt, fishnets, and teal boots. She also had pink blush on her face, blue eye shadow, pink lipstick, and her hair was very glossy. During the whore-off scene, she wore a pair of violet gloves mainly because the outside was cold.

When dressed for the sleepover in "Marjorine", she wore a golden-yellow, blue button-down top with a deep yellow lace collar, and yellow, blue, and white striped pajama pants. Rebecca was partners with Craig on the egg science project in "Follow that Egg!", and could also be his cousin due to close resemblence in their fathers: Skeeter and Thomas Tucker, though it has never been proven.

Personality
Rebecca has played a modest role as a part of Wendy's gang. Sometimes, she has been portrayed as the more confrontational of the girls, demonstrated when she called out "Marjorine" (actually Butters disguised as a girl) and called her a geek and said she'd live alone for the rest of her life at Heidi Turner's sleepover, and when she warned Wendy about the corrupted list of the cutest boys at South Park Elementary.

Rebecca has also shown a bit of a kind personality; in some episodes she has been kind to many people and engaging in friendly conversations with many people, like in "Erection Day" she kindly greets Jimmy when he comes to talk to her, but when she hears what he has to say she becomes very disgusted with him and slaps him. Also, she hasn't been afraid to stand up for others: in "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs", Rebecca and Lola rush to Butters' defense after the four main characters criticize him for taking the credit for writing the title book.

A trait of courage was shown in "Marjorine" when the girls did "Light as a feather, stiff as a board", when Rebecca volunteered to go first. This is a very spirtual activity and when Marjorine (Butters) saw them doing this he was screaming and acusing them of being witches.

She has also been shown to like to party, like in "Marjorine" where she was shown dancing to the new Justin Timberlake CD with her friends after they gave Marjorine (Butters) a make-over. She was also shown in "Douche and Turd" that she was on the school cheerleading squad along with some other girls; another hint which shows that she likes to dance and party.

Rebecca also appears to be interested in music, particularly Justin Timberlake, as shown in "Majorine". When the girls were suggesting ideas of what they could do at Heidi's sleepover party, Rebecca stated that she brought the new Justin Timberlake CD and that they should dance to it. After they give Marjorine a make-over, they all dance to it, which also shows that Rebecca has a fun attitude.

Rebecca has been shown to be one of the very popular girls in the grade. She may even be more popular than Wendy or Bebe. In many different episodes, she has been shown in the background with many different girls. In the older episodes, she was shown in almost every episodes, being followed by boys, which could be suggesting that she is also very pretty and attractive. Also when Clyde became aware that he was the cutest boy in the class in "The List", the first person he asked out was Rebecca. In "Erection Day", when Jimmy found out he had to have sex with someone to stop having his erection problems, the first person he went to was Rebecca. Also in "Something You Can Do with Your Finger", when Cartman payed all of the girls to go crazy for there music video, he chose Rebecca and Bebe to hug and rub him over all of the other girls, there-again, showing that Rebecca is one of the cutest girls in the grade.

Rebecca is also shown upset like jealousy, mad, or sad In "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", she is shown upset with and gossips Bebe with Wendy and the other girls. In "Elementary School Musical", She is seen sad and then said " I'd give anything to be with Bridon Guermo, but he'd never go out with me. I'm nobody." Wendy even told Red that it's not true.

Commercialism
In "Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods", Rebecca is shown in the Cheesy Poofs commercial that Cartman was supposed to be in. During the episode, Cartman was bragging to the third grade class (which they were in at the time) about how he won the competition and how he was going to be in the Cheesy Poofs commercial. Everyone was jealous of Cartman but Rebecca must have been selected to be in the commercial by the company. She was actually shown more in the commercial than Cartman was.

Relatonship with Stan
In "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset", she held Stan down and tried to kiss him. Although, it is never implied, it's a possibility that she might had a crush on Stan. But it is highly unlikely because every girl in that episode was acting like that of a whore, so it may or may not prove anything personal between the two.

Relationship with Bridon
In "Elementary School Musical" she has a crush on Bridon Guermo, as do the rest of the girls, and says that she would give anything to be with Bridon Guermo, after Bebe brings up that she saw him at the movies seeing High School Musical 3. But then she points out that he would never go for her because she is nobody. Wendy tells her that it's not true and then breaks into song.

Friendship with Terrance Mephisto
In "World Wide Recorder Concert" they were seen sitting side by side while performing at the concert, and while riding then leaving the bus. Also in "Trapper Keeper", they are sitting next to each other on the the bus behind Cartman and Kenny. But Rebecca also sat with Kevin a lot in the old episodes so there is no proof of any relations between the two.

Relationship with Token
Rebecca was shown to be dancing with Token in "Hooked On Monkey Phonics".

Relationship with Clyde
In The List, it was revealed that Rebecca was dating Clyde, but this was only because of the girls plot to get free shoes from him. So we can not say that she actually "liked" him, especially because on the real list that one fan calculated, Clyde was listed number thirteen, meaning that he was one of the bottom five cutest guys in the class.

Relationship/Conflict with Jimmy
It appeared in "Erection Day" that Rebecca may have had a bit of a liking for Jimmy, when he approached her, she seemed really friendly and a bit shy, however this turned right around after Jimmy asked her immediatly to have sex with her. She then slapped him, called him a jerk, and walked away disgusted with him.

Relationship/Conflict with Butters
Rebecca's first interaction with Butters in "Marjorine" was a rather unpleasant one, as previously discussed; however, she was quick to defend him against the boys in "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs", telling them not to pick on Butters because he was, as she put it, "a very fragile artist."

Friendship with Annie
Rebecca and Annie have appeared together in the background from early on, though it's become more common to see them together in the more recent seasons, implying that the two may have a close friendship like that of Wendy and Bebe's but Rebecca has also been shown being followed by many boys and girls, showing that she is very popular and has many good friends. And still of all these appearances, she has been shown with Annie the most.

Relationship with Kevin Stoley
In the earlier seasons, Rebecca was often shown in the background with Kevin, usually hanging out or at lunch (the two were even shown to be trading sandwiches in "Sexual Harassment Panda"). The two of them also appeared together at Cartman's party in "Damien" and held hands during "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut ". In addition, Kevin is seen looking sad at the dance in "Hooked on Monkey Phonics" right near Rebecca, who is dancing with Token. Around the fourth season the lunch room's design began changing as the main boys were more often seen with other children, and the two were no longer regularly shown together. In addition, newer episodes such as "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" and "Fatbeard", portray Kevin as a geek with an obsession of Star Wars, and Rebecca is shown to be one of the popular girls in the school, making it highly unlikely that their friendship has continued. Also, as Rebecca's role in the series has gradually increased, while Kevin's has remained the same. The two have not been shown together with a few exceptions, such as "Lice Capades", in class in "Fatbeard" and arguably "Super Fun Time" (They are missing for the majority of the episode, and only appear at the end.)

Name Dispute
Rebecca's name is often given as "Red" in the scripts and on the official website. She is also referred to as "Red" in "Follow that Egg!" "Marjorine " and "Elementary School Musical", making her real moniker a bit of a mystery. But it might be a nickname, as many of the children are either called by nicknames, like Butters whose real name is Leopold, or by their surnames. She is called Red because of her "Red" hair.

Though she was referred to as "Bertha" in "Erection Day", her name wound up changed to Rebecca in The List.

She is not to be confused with the similarly-named Rebecca Cotswolds.
