The immediate implication was that Rachel snuck in when Baam was supposedly chosen by the Tower and that she didn't deserve to be Chosen. There's also the thought that she did something to manipulate Baam and Headon knows this and is using this too to toy with her.

I believe that Headon actually did choose Rachel (making her a Regular and not the Irregular people believe she is) in an elaborate trick in order to get Baam to follow Rachel into the Tower. I think Headon fully realizes what Baam is (even if we don't) and that he is using Rachel to manipulate Baam into climbing the Tower.

But I also think Rachel is quite powerful herself as we see the shinsoo swirling around her. Once when she rages at Headon and again at the very end of Volume 1 when she states to Hwa Ryun that she is seeking the stars because she is afraid of the night (Baam). She may not have control or even knowledge of it yet, but then her power might be to manipulate others. I've even had the passing wild theory that she is Eurasia Enne Zahard. The problem with this theory is that Enne was rumored to be a great beauty and Rachel is often referred to as being plain. Still it would be one possible explanation for that image of her with her screaming with her hair being held by a giant fist (Zahard's?).
