    Rebecca (Thomas & Friends)

    Rebecca the Happy Engine
    "Yay me!" More like no you! Also... Mattel, stop creating pointless characters to replace the original ones.
    Gender: Female
    Type: Useless Engine that was responsible for the death of the original series
    Species: Train
    Portrayed by: Rachael Miller
    Status: Alive
    Media of origin: Thomas & Friends
    First appearance: Big World Big Adventures!


    Rebecca is one of the new main characters introduced in the Big World! Big Adventures! era (seasons 22-24) of Thomas & Friends. She was created to replace Henry on the steam team. Like with Nia, she wasn't well received by fans and critics of Thomas and Friends. She is based on the BR/SR Battle of Britain/West County/Merchant Navy Class locomotives and was voiced by Rachael Miller.

    Why She Deserves to Be Exiled from Tidmouth Sheds

    1. Like Nia, she is a filler character who serves no purpose other than replacing Henry in the Steam Team and adding gender diversity to the show.
    2. Although She's very friendly towards other engines her personality is annoying, uninteresting, and bland as she is the "happy-go-lucky" stereotype, similar to Coconut Fred and seasons 6b & 7 SpongeBob.
    3. Her voice can be annoying to some.
      • Her catchphrase is "Yay me!", which is shared with Coconut Fred; it's cringe-worthy.
    4. Unlike Nia, who had a whole special to introduce her, Rebecca comes out of nowhere with no explanation or backstory whatsoever, like all of the new characters in the Bob the Builder reboot. Her introduction is also very rushed.
      • Also, like Nia, there is no explanation as to why she lives at Tidmouth Sheds.
    5. Once again, just like Nia, her reason as to why she replaced Henry in the main cast gets very confusing and disappointing. Some websites say that she was added in since the series faced years of criticism for lacking female characters, while the Thomas & Friends fandom site says that she was put in to fix the gender imbalance at Tidmouth Sheds.
    6. She is also a karma houdini in "Chucklesome Trucks", where she completely gets off scot-free even though she got Thomas, Percy, and James into accidents. Worse still, the Fat Controller actually praised her for getting her trucks delivered on time despite what she did.

    Happy/"Yay me!" Qualities

    1. Her design is good as it makes her stand out from the other engines due to her streamlined appearance and cool paint job.
      • In fact, this is probably one of the only reasons why some Thomas & Friends fans root for her.
      • On top of that, her yellow paint does suit her cheerful and happy personality.
    2. Despite her clichéd personality, there are several episodes where she is genuinely likable.
      • In "Apology Impossible", for example, she was tolerable as she was quite calm over getting stuck behind the other engines and wasn't even annoying at all.
      • In "Thomas' Animal Friends", the series finale, she cheers Thomas up and tells him not to let anyone make fun of him for the things he likes.
    3. Despite the flaws, Rachael Miller did an okay job voicing her.
