I hate Rachel but at the same time i like her character. I mean, i don't know if i would have liked the story that much if she wasn't here. She is Baam weakness, she is what Baam lacks. Baam sure is very kind (he has changed a little tho) and is willing to save everyone in the tower and that's very nice of him but it's not realistic. I don't know a single person out there who would keep this mindset after all the atrocities that happen in the tower. I mean, how many times did we see people dying ? Almost everytime. I just re-read the webtoon and i was at the point where Hockney talked about his eyes, you know with that girl he wanted to paint and was killed by a needle in her neck... He said that as if it was normal, and it may be for them. Same, people being beheaded is a common occurence. This tower pushes almost every people's feeling to their extreme limits. Wether it's love, friendship, desires, selfishness, hatred, revenge (etc.). And it's normal but baam doesn't have any desire to kill, he isn't selfish (when it doesn't come to rachel), he doesn't even have hatred toward most ennemies... He is the one who isn't normal. He's a weird individual in this tower.

Rachel, has a huge desire and sadly, her dream takes priority over everything else. We don't know everything about her past yet. She is weak but dream of something incredible (seing the stars - which implies to leave the tower, which is a huge feat!), she is ugly and if we don't take in account the plot armor (lol), she doesn't have anything for her. Climbing the tower was/is the most important thing for her. Climbing the tower is hard and few are the people who manage to do it. To do it, you need luck, power, and other things. She doesn't have any of those (except the plot armor).

On the other side, Baam never dreamed to go in the tower, he already realised his dream (which was to stay with rachel) but yet, he came in the tower and had that incredible thing called "insane talent".

Let's be honest here, i would be pissed. Seing your dream disapearing far away when you really desire it while this person who doesn't give a fu** has what you want. Moreover, Bam is supposed to have an insane destiny... He's the child of the prophecy.

In the anime, we had more informations about here. I don't know if SIU was okay with what they said in ep.13 but anyway. Bam is a light. A light that is so bright that it will enlighten the whole tower. Next to that she is nothing. She is so weak, a so "bad" person next to Baam that she cannot even be his shadows. I lived that with a friend, he was all good in everything. it destroyed me. Sure I didn't try to kill him but i ran away from him. It was too painful to stay withto someone that bright because it hurt my feelings so bad that I could have been burnt if i stayed more longer next to him. In the case of rachel, this "burning light" is literally chasing after her. honestly, I were her, i would have been so pissed & that even if this person is super kind. Then, if you add the tower that destroy your mental sanity, it isn't surprising to see Rachel be a psychopath.

Baam is too perfect, Rachel is human (maybe a psychopath but she is still human). i disapprove her behavior but at the same time i understand it. I hate her but i like her a lot at the same time

A good character :)
