Rachel's character is a mystery, up to the point where there are mixed opinions about her personality. She is generally considered popular and nice, but also rebellious. She partied a lot, took drugs and had an affection for punk-rock.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄:

• It' s confirmed in the Commentary that the Doe is the presence of Rachel that ⠀guides Max.

• At some point in the game's development, Rachel was going to be called ⠀Jessie. The file name for the photo of Chloe and Rachel found under Chloe's
⠀bed in Chrysalis is "TX_Papers_PictureChloeJessie01_D".

• It is foreshadowed that Max and Chloe will find Rachel in the junkyard; the doe ⠀Max tries to photograph originally appears directly over the spot where she is ⠀buried. There is also part of a punk-rock shirt, similar to her style, torn and ⠀hanging near the spot. The game asset for this shirt is listed as ⠀TX_Fab_JnkRachPnk_D, which suggests that it did indeed belonged to Rachel.

• The Director's Commentary confirmed that the name Rachel was chosen ⠀because it's a hybrid of the first names of the directors Raoul Barbet and ⠀Michel Koch.
