I don't know why people think she tried to kill him. We don't know what Headon and FUG and Hwa Ryun told her but at the 2nd floor Baam was in the middle of 2 guardians playing around, FUG (high ranker included) and RED at a point where he was very weak, not for a regular but for his status as an irregular. Her actions were guided by Hwa Ryun and if FUG wanted him dead I don't think they'd need Rachel to do that at all. And climbing the tower with him would be a possibility if they were normal regulars but as you can see in the plot the regular tests are not the problem at all and almost all of the big parties in the tower knew of his existence (from Headon to FUG to great family heads (Gustang) to at least 1 princess (yuri) to RED).

As to her wanting to see the stars. That might very well not even be true. If you think about where she was and what she knew (something we don't know everything about) there are a few things. She knows about the tower, while still in the cave, but she also knows about the outside world (stars). She probably knew that there was a way to enter the tower from the cave (when she actually enters it) and from her reaction when Headon tells her that Baam is the one the tower wants she seems angry in a way as if it was always about him, possibly suggesting that she always knew it was him who was going to go there. Maybe she was supposed to stay in that cave all alone after Baam one day leaves to climb the tower and compared to being all alone in a cave the dream of seeing the top of the tower and the stars don't seem so bad to me.

You are saying she has no redeeming qualities and people are always calling her useless but are also judging her decisions as if she had the whole world opening its arms for her. She might very well not have much of a choice especially if she intends to stay ahead of Baam (if that is her role), who also has a lot of 'help' from FUG and affiliated parties.
