Talk:Irregular/@comment-39688167-20190603163751

I've read this proposition a long time ago on the official translating site for ToG therefore, it's not mine, and I do not take credit for it. It goes something like this:

Both Bam and Rachel are Irregulars.

Regulars are chosen by Headon.

Irregulars open the door to the tower by themselves.

Bam opened the door to the tower, but Rachel fell through the door first, that is the reason why Headon told her "you were not chosen". Later Bam entered the door in search of Rachel believing the tower had chosen him, after the tower chose Rachel first, which prompted Bam to accept Headon's request, and enter the tower in search of Rachel.

Going by this logic, Bam is an Irregular because he opened the door, while Rachel is not. She wasn't chosen by Headon nor did she open the door herself and yet she was permitted to enter the tower by Headon on the premise that he would make her the heroine of this story.

The only conclusion/prediction that could be made from this is that Rachel is something completely else, "A true Irregular" one not chosen by the tower, and one that didn't open the door to the tower. That could be the reason why she seems helpless/powerless and that could be the reason why some people fear her or use her such as Gustang. Because maybe she has dormant powers, and her dream of seeing the stars is so strong that she will do anything for it, even ultimately killing Zahard if she had to in order to reach the stars, therefore going beyond floor 134, and therefore maybe playing into Headon's plan of ending Zahard's rule and starting a new age in the tower where people can climb all the way.

This is supported by SIU saying that she is an Irregular, but not elaborating on it further.
