'''Rebecca Hawkins''', known as '''Rebecca Hopkins''' in the Japanese version, is a character in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' second series anime]].
Rebecca is, in the original Japanese version, the youngest person to become the American Duel Monsters champion, formerly held by [[Bandit Keith]]. In the English anime, she is the Intercontinental Champion. Rebecca is also the granddaughter of [[Arthur Hawkins]]. She is twelve years old in the original Japanese anime. In the dub, she is eight, ten in [[Waking the Dragons]].
Rebecca is the granddaughter of [[Arthur Hawkins]], an old friend of [[Yugi Muto]]'s grandfather, [[Solomon Muto]]. Rebecca encountered Yugi as he returns from [[Duelist Kingdom (island)|Duelist Kingdom]]. She accused Solomon of stealing her grandfather's prized "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and demanded he Duel her for it, when asked about how she knew that Solomon "stole" the card, she replies that [[Bandit Keith Howard]] told her, although it can be presumed that Keith merely lied to her out of annoyance, indicating that she tried forcing the information out of him. As he was recently discharged from the hospital, Solomon cannot Duel, so Yugi Dueled Rebecca in his place.

She and her grandfather returned in the [[Waking the Dragons]] arc to help Yugi and his friends against [[Dartz]]. Here, Rebecca appears noticeably older-looking and wearing glasses (to the point that everyone barely recognizes her) and is also in college — much to the shock of Yugi and the gang. She helped by researching Dartz's Dartz’s Three Swordsmen and hacking into [[KaibaCorp]]'s ’s computer system to track others via their [[Duel Disk]]s. She also seemed to be slaving under the delusion that Yugi was her boyfriend (her "darling" in the Japanese version, a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]''), — something which made [[Téa Gardner]] jealous. This didn't didn’t seem to be a pretend crush as she was devastated when Yugi's soul was taken and tried to defeat [[Valon]] in vengeance. However, she and Duke were defeated by Valon easily.
