{Imagine Knowing Me}

Personality:
Rebecca Isobel Boots is a person with many sides. Her personality can range from sweet and silence to fierce and demanding.
(*) IN THE CLASSROOM
Dr. Boots is a teacher who tells it like it is. She lays out her demands and expectations on the first day you walk into her classroom, and from that point there are little to no bad surprises. She might bring in baked goods or show a movie instead of lecture, but there aren’t any surprise tests and quizzes. She demands excellence from her students. She knows the students at Hastings are some of the top, and Rebecca wants them all to succeed. Therefore she does not hold their hand and walk them through the class. If they show up and try, the students will pass. If the students chose to sleep or skip her classes there is no sympathy on the part of Dr. Boots. You fail and you do it yourself.
(*) IN LIFE
Rebecca Boots is a bright person. An optimist despite the terrifying number of statistics in her job that would make any person want to believe otherwise. She enjoys cool evenings and comfortable silences, but has been known to be the life of a party. Becca is a naturally social person who enjoys watching as much as talking. She is sweet and open upon first meeting. Rebecca has a real knack for making people feel at home and comfortable. If you cross her there is a dangerous temper and silent fury that will overtake the world. That is not so much fun.

Any Secrets?:
(*) She has been divorced.
(*) She is terrified of cats.
(*) Rebecca has never wanted children.

Physical Appearance:
Rebecca is a tall female with very striking features. The first feature noticed is her height. She stands at an athletically lean 5’9 and a quarter. Even though she is a seemingly ancient 32 years old, Rebecca is still lean and athletic, and enjoys going to the gym and playing a number of sports. Her height served her well in her teen and college years, as one of her scholarships was for basketball.
Rebecca’s features are distinctive and quite striking. Her cheeks are sharp and high, giving her the distinguished look of aristocracy. Dark eyes, almost a mix of coal and chocolate, hint at the mysterious law filled soul that lies beneath the surface. A strong straight nose and soft lips finish out the facial features on this lady. Olive skin covers her all over, the deep tanish color that leads to dark colored winters and even darker summers. It is also handy since Rebecca has never sun-burned in her life. Her favorite feature is her dark hair. The hair is long and full and shiney, all the things you hear about in commercials. The color is so dark a brown it can be mistaken for a deep black, pure and not the scary kind of black that shines blue in sunlight. The hair is wavy and normally worn in layers, the sneaky kind that escapes a little bit from ponytails and buns.

Biography:
Rebecca Isobel Boots was born on a muggy summer day in England 32 years ago. Her mother was Welsh, her father Irish, and her brother was technically a Scottish citizen from his birth in Ireland three years before. It was a running joke that the Boots family had covered every nationality available in the United Kingdom. George and Meredith Boots were loving parents who adore their two children to no end. Rebecca was born into a loving wonderful family who traveled and lived together. Her parents were a true love story with a love that ran so deep some people didn’t know when George ended and Meredith started.
When little Becca was 10 years old the family moved to America. George was an important business man and his latest venture was taking the family to California. The elder Mr. Boots latest idea was a film production company that landed the family on the banks of Hollywood. Young Becca and her newly teenaged brother, Alexander Derek, were thrown into a world far different from the life they lived around the UK. It was hard making friends at first thanks to the weird accents and lack of social training in the eyes of young Hollywood. The Boots were more careful children, initially they did not party and go crazy like the other kids around them at the time. Soon though their happy family was wrapped up in film politics and crazy meetings for the films their father’s company was producing and financing. The two children were not protected like they were in England. Meredith was still there for the family and her children, but it was not enough against the influence of the place where they now resided.
Over the next five years Becca and Alex got more and more immersed in the lifestyle afforded by living with the Stars. They were pulling away from the once tight knit family and were now partying and shopping and eating with paparazzi. They were dating in the circles and trying to avoid the drugs normally found in the same circles. Their once weird accent became a distinctive “cool factor” affording them something no other person in the group had. Being from the UK went from alienating to awesome.
Alex left Becca for college. Despite the party lifestyle the two were always driven when it came to grades. Becca was 16 when Alex left, and it was hard for her. Her best friend was miles and miles away, and she was even more jealous that he was able to go home to Oxford for college. In response the young girl threw herself into her dangerous circle of friends even more. It was at age 17 that the unfortunate marriage happened.
The story is that Becca was dating a young movie star. He had quite a few hit films coming up and was working with directors whose names were as magical as wizards wands. Their love was like a fire – so bright and flashing at first, but it would burn hard and fast before dying. Before it died there was a lot of alcohol, some drugs, and a lot of sex. This sex lead to a pregnancy. This pregnancy lead to a shotgun wedding before the parents found out. The problem is the tabloids followed and the parents and agents and a terrible number of people found out. It was mayhem for three months. At the end of those three months there was a mysterious hospitalization and a quick divorce. Becca has never spoken of the miscarriage since then, and was wounded by the fact that the boy she was so foolishly in love with was not by her side, but rather at a party with socialites and starlets. Wounded by the fact that he accepted the divorce in stride and never question, and was wounded by the fact that he has been married and divorced three time since then.
Her parents solution was to send her off to Oxford with her brother. This is where Becca found law and criminology. She threw herself into studies, taking the maximum amount of hours each semester and attending summer course at Oxford as well as multiple other small English colleges. In two years she completed a four year degree. She applied to Harvard and went there for her masters, completed in three years. She was now only 24. Her immediate concern was a PhD. She started doing semester courses at Harvard and summer courses at Oxford with her brother. It took her 4 years, but she graduated with her PhD in Law and Criminology right before her 28th birthday. Two years later she was appointed as head of the prestigious Law and Legal Studies Department at Hastings University. She took the position and has been teaching and researching ever since. Her past in Hollywood has been left behind, and she hopes never to return.

{But It's Better If You Do}

Family At Hastings: None really. She has some close friends that are her chosen family.
Sexuality: She can be compared to a ruler
Crushing?: Not on a student. She is single though, and looking for some lovin’.
Current Residence: Rebecca has a house in downtown Easton. She lives near the park and enjoys drinking her morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the area. The house is medium in size. It has three bedrooms and two and a half baths, and is in the old colonial style.
Classroom Description:
Rebecca Boots keeps a very organized and student friendly classroom. Well, as student friendly as a law based classroom can be. There is a podium at the front, as is the norm in classrooms, but Dr. Boots does not always use it. She is an avid fan of powerpoints and media presentations, which would explain the projector and dvd set up in her classroom. There are not desks, but rather tables with comfortable chairs situated around the rooms. Rebecca is a huge fan of groups and students working with each other in class. She despises giving out of class group projects though.
The walls of her classroom are simply decorated. Instead of the elementary school set up that a lot of teachers use in this college, she has some of her favorite artwork up. There are Van Goghs, Picassos, and some other assorted things. She has a couple of maps, it helps for references. She tries to make a comfortable environment without the normal sterile-ness found in many classrooms. Hastings is unique in the fact that each professor gets their own classroom.
