Vivacious and flirtatious, Rachel is the perky older friend to Daisy, and the unofficial "center" of the seniors friend group. A girl who knows her worth and is always ready to stick up for those she cares about, she sometimes sets her own feelings aside if those two concepts collide.
Personality
Before a reader can get to know the other facets of Rachel's personality, they are first immediately met with her staunch defense of those close to her. In Rachel's very first appearance, she delivers a swift smack in the face to Tess, citing Roger breaking her brother's arm, and has to be talked down from her anger by Jessica.[1] Though she can still hold a grudge, Rachel is not one to let these things rule her life; once it became evident she'd have to share space with Tess in Pillow Talk, she accepted the situation and confidently walked through the doorway, saying "not like I was gonna leave!"[2]
Rachel is promiscuous, and she isn't particularly shy about it. When Lucy apologizes to Jessica and Rachel for insinuating they were such, Jessica clarifies to Lucy that Rachel "actually is a slut," to which Rachel laughs and describes an intimate moment with Paulo.[3] Rachel is quick to suggest sexual favors as a means to tide over conflict, suggesting Jasmine give Paulo a "BJ" after an argument.[4]
