Well I never said that he actually did take anything from her, at least not actively. If you think about the cave as a prison and Baam is a dangerous prisoner with enormous potential, enough to bring danger to a giant structure such as the Tower, then throwing a little girl like her inside to look after him, you can imagine that she doesn't have the happiest of lives up there, if there even is anything worth mentioning (Rachel mentions towards Headon that she knows of him from a book, maybe that's almost all she has up there, some things to make her life a little easier and a bunch of books about the tower that she's supposed to tell Baam so that he can develop the desire to climb the tower). Or maybe she wasn't supposed to go there, but she still did because going down there in that hole and risking her life was more promising than the life she had above the cave. Either way her life is probably tied to that of Baam and so from her point, if it wasn't for Baam there might be no reason for her to be stuck in a place like that as well. That's all assuming she knows things about Baam, but as I've mentioned that is my base assumption.

Now to the part that you mentioned with the guy pulling her hair. I'll get to that point in a while, today I'll at least start with Entering the Tower and Headon's Floor, but I'll answer you quickly. We don't even know if that actually happened. The flashback shows how Rachel tells Baam about fighting and then she asks him if he would fight for her. I don't know if you are aware, but the way most people use Shinsoo or at leat the way it is explained to beginners is by imagining things (now Baam didn't get that explaination from Laure yet, but it is still the way it would probably go instinctively ). Now the scene with that person pulling her hair might have actually happened, but I find it a lot more likely that it's actually him recalling their conversation and imagining her being in that situation, rather than him regaining a lost memory as he often states that Rachel was the only person that came from the light into his life. But whatever that doesn't really change much. Her life must have been pretty miserable either way, whether there actually was someone up there or not.
