Information AboutRachel (animorphs) |
|
Rachel is an Animorph. Before the war, she was very involved in Gymnastics and had a lingering obsession with Fashion . Her parents were divorced. Rachel's father is Dan, a news anchor on television. Her mom is Naomi, a lawyer. She has two sisters, Jordan and Sara, both younger than her. Her mother and sisters are later told the truth about the invasion and are relocated to the Hork-Bajir colony during the end of the war, largely against their will (they attempt to escape a few times). Jake and his brother Tom are her cousins. Her fellow Animorphs (Marco in particular) sometimes call her "Xena, Warrior Princess" and "Ms. Fashion". She is best friends with Cassie, though this relationship is often strained throughout the series. Rachel also has feelings for Tobias and the two started dating near the middle of the series. In the beginning, Melissa Chapman (daughter of the Controller Chapman) is one of her best friends, but the relationship decayed and Melissa is only mentioned few times in the series. Rachel's recklessness develops into disturbing, violent, sometimes and struggled with it through the rest of the series, never quite getting back to becoming a "normal girl". In the last book Rachel is sent to kill Tom. She succeeds in doing so, but in the end she is killed by some of Tom's minions. When Jake, Marco, and Tobias set off to go save Ax, they name the cruiser-class ship they board in "The Rachel" in her honor. Her last name is not known for certain, but many assume that it is Berenson, like Jake's. (Which would make her Jake's cousin on his father's side.) It is stated in Megamorphs #3 that Rachel is half-Jewish on her father's side, as is Jake, and when a mutual cousin appears during the David trilogy (Animorphs #20-22), it is mentioned that they have not been close to Rachel's family since the divorce and her dad moved out. Also, Rachel is not invited to Grandpa G's funeral-- Jake's mother's grandfather-- in Animorphs #31.
