Rather than saying she is "bad", I prefer to say she is "mysterious". We have no idea what is going on in both Baam and Rachel's head and their past. There are too many speculations about their past and their interaction but since SIU said that Rachel is a really charming person so I decided to take his words for it.

Moreover, I dont even trust anything Headon uttered. He managed to "trick" Baam into climbing the tower. If Headon was trying to stop Baam as an irregular, he sure does a very poor job since he obviously said words to give him the necessary push into climbing the tower like "a girl all alone in this tower.....it sure does worry me...." Headon also said the necessary words to push Rachel to climb the tower like "she doesnt deserve it unlike Baam and yadah yadah". If Baam's obsession to see Rachel is his push, then Rachel's desperation to climb the tower is her push. Now, we have both dangerous irregulars

I dont want to discredit Rachel but I have to say that Hwa Ryun (or Headon, I really dont know at this point - I mean, there are only a very few people in Season 1 to know Baam is an irregular so how does Hwa Ryun knw he is one at the right time and place? Coincidence? I think not!) is the one who manipulates the situation to make sure Baam did join the FUG. And this is the reason why I dont understand why readers like Hwa Ryun when she is one of the people who caused the current events! She is a Guide so she must know all possibilities that are going to happen so she tries her best to make sure everything is going according to what she think is best (she practically admitted it in chapter 111 Season 2). She is as bad as Headon when it comes to manipulating Baam. Like in the Hell Train arc, she made sure Baam joined the Hell Train by mentioning "Rachel" and sting him on by saying "Maybe because Rachel misses him". I seriously dont trust their words at this point.

I cant believe I am saying this: if Rachel is really trying to save the destiny of the tower as she said, then she might be like Lelouch from Code Geass. U know, killing and manipulating people to reach their goal? Poweful and capable people by their side while they themselves dont really enter combat? Maybe physically weak? Misguided methodology of doing things while causing a lot of grief to other people? Or even better someone who can (or try) change the state of the world? The only difference is their appearance (like Lelouch is more good looking) and we see things from his POV. So whether if Rachel is good or bad is up to the readers............
