I would disagree there, I think SIU has kept Rachel pretty consistent. I've seen that people like to compare this with the Edin Dan incident but there is a big difference, psychologically, between killing someone and merely injuring/crippling someone.

Rachel stabbed Dan's legs out of frustrated rage, which is a more common human reaction than one might think. The red mist descends and all she wants to do was make Dan suffer; Rachel clearly had no intention of killing him otherwise she would've stabbed him in a more fatal place (head, neck, chest etc). We see here another common human reaction: Rachel is suffering from the psychological trauma of taking a life (even if it was only somewhat indirectly her fault). It might be a little bit of a stretch, but you could actually parallel Rachel and Baam in this regard (due to his inane inability to actively kill someone).
