Rebecca's a beautiful girl, and I couldn't be more happier with her! Of course, it's rather difficult for me to leave negative feedback because a bangless brunette with hazel eyes is one I've been wanting for so long. I was going to customize one myself, but then we get Rebecca! So, like I said, it's hard to criticize a long-awaited-for doll.
Like others have said, Rebecca's eyes are the exact same as Mia's. They look a bit greener than my older #21's, but that could just be my eyes playing tricks on me. Her hair looks to be about the same shade as Marisol's, but is noticeably shorter/curlier. The curls seem like Nicki's, although I've yet to see a Nicki in person to confirm this. It intimidated me at first, as one side was definitely less curly than the other, but, since my own hair is rather similar, I've gotten used to it. I've finger-curled her hair into larger sausage curls, put it into a side ponytail, etc, and the curls have held up. I reset them occasionally when they are getting mussed, but I generally care for them with a hair pick, a water spray bottle, and a bit of braid spray. I've even brushed her hair, usually before I put curlers in. However, I always wet the hair before I brush. The ends of her hair are a teensy bit dry now, but in general, I am pleased with how they have held up. I'm not so scared that I'll lose the curls anymore, as her hair re-curls very easily.
Rebecca's meet outfit is one of the cuter ones. I like the burgundy/maroon color and the low waisted style of the 1914 era. The tights are black and not ribbed like Samantha's. The underwear is the same underwear that Sam, Nellie, Kit, Ruthie, Molly, and Emily wear. Her boots are cute and are a lot like Samantha's summer boots, except Beckie's have velcro and are more of a cream color. The gold, plastic barrette is cheap, but no cheaper than Kit's meet barrette, in my opinion. I haven't had problems taking it in and out of her hair.
Overall, I give Rebecca an A. No + because her hair can limit her playability.

This is her right out of the box, messy curls and all:
I customized her with a light dusting of freckles across her nose and cheeks, as you'll see in these photos:
