Notes and Trivia

 * SIU has stated himself Rachel is the female protagonist. However she's not a heroine.
 * According to SIU, Rachel's name comes from the Bible. Her name could be an allusion to a famous literary pun, from a Sherlock Holmes story called "A Study in Scarlet". In a certain scene, a detective called Lestrade thought the blood-stained word "rache" referred to "Miss Rachel" because he didn't realize "rache" meant "revenge" in German.
 * According to SIU, both Rachel and Baam are deeply connected. To Rachel, Baam was the night and her darkness and to Baam, Rachel was his star and his light. It's unknown if Baam's new name (Viole), which also implies "star" in Korean has any foreshadowing or implications for their future relationship.
 * She's the one who told Baam of his birthday (which would become his name).
 * "SIU: If you get to know her, Lahel (Rachel), in fact, is a really charming character, haha. (12/14/2010)"
 * SIU once wrote that Rachel was his favourite character of the Tower of God story.
 * SIU has confirmed she's an Irregular, a fact accepted by the Korean fanbase. The term Irregular (비선별인원, biseonbyeolinwon; "members who have not been chosen" or "Irregulars") is actually used to refer to her and other Irregulars.
 * Androssi Zahard and the Traveller have mentioned that they sensed something strange about her the moment they met her; a sense that she was from another world and somehow dangerous.  Androssi indicated that this sense was the reason she avoided attacking Rachel in the initial 2nd Floor test, though she later said she was just an ordinary girl.
 * SIU stated that both she and Baam are quite knowledgeable about the Outside.
 * SIU has stated that if Baam is a "Typical Hero", Rachel would be a "Normal Person". So he wanted to make a somewhat awkward situation where people would be angry at Rachel yet make her feel more relatable than Baam.
 * SIU himself sees Rachel, not as a villain, but the opposite of Baam. She is a character he cares about a lot too, despite her getting hate. He has lots to say about Rachel, though he intends to say it bit by bit as the time goes.
