—Description

Rachel (レイチェル, Reicheru^?) is Allura's maid and close friend, and she is responsible for Allura's education and well being.

Story

Trapt

At the end of the game, it is revealed that she is Allura's older half-sister who desired to summon Malphas to complete her dead mother's plot of revenge against Olaf for abandoning Rachel's mother. Rachel had learned about the power of Malphas from her mother and after acquiring the powers necessary to summon various traps, became a maid of Allura in order to gain Olaf's trust.

In the evil ending, she is murdered by Allura.

In the possessed and good endings, if Allura refuses to fight her she is crushed under falling debris. She is successful in summoning Malphas in the latter endings after she injured Allura with a knife, using Allura's spilled blood to summon Malphas.

She fights using a dagger and can use Allura's own traps against her due to them sharing Malphas' summoning power. The only difference is that Rachel has no accessory on her arm when she uses her powers.

Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess

“A servant and tutor for the Branded Princess Allura. She craves revenge against King Olaf, Allura's father, and to satisfy her desire, she got close to Allura. She succeeded in trapping Allura, but Allura was taken from Rachel before she could finish her plans. Awaiting Allura's return, Rachel awakens in Dark Side Heaven.”

Rachel returns in the Rachel Pack DLC, where her story branches to Q101: Servant of Nightmares to Q110: When Day Beaks. In this pack also includes edit parts for enemies, which only include her dress.

Rachel, labeled as the Servant of Nightmares, is dragged into the Quest Tree after presumably preparing to sacrifice Allura to Malphas. She and Velguirie fight over who gets to have Allura's soul. She is only playable as a costume for Allura, so they share abilities like her Fiend Arm Surge.

In Q110: When Day Breaks, Velguirie summons Allura to fight and capture Rachel. After a long battle, Rachel laments on her and Allura's relationship, and how Allura is still a part of her. Before she goes back to her world, Allura tells Rachel that even after everything that has happened between them, she would always be her friend. After Rachel leaves, Velguirie watches in satisfaction.

Trivia

• Her father being human, and her mother being one of the Marked, this would make Rachel an inbred.
  • However, it is also a contradiction. In Kagero: Deception II, the TMD's reason for kidnapping Millennia was to turn a child into their personal killing machine, but since they could not breed amongst themselves, they had to take a human child.
  • Additionally, unlike the TMD's blue blood, Rachel bleeds red. This may be due to being part human.
• In the Deception Studio, if you equip a female unit with Rachel's attire, the Boulder element is automatically selected as their weakness, crudely referencing Rachel's fate in Trapt.
• Rachel's Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess model uses the exact same appearance of Allura, even with Allura's headband being black, her hair being grey and eyes being violet.
• Rachel is labeled in Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess as the "Servant of Nightmares".
• Rachel's Deception IV artwork is based on an illustration on a Tereka card.
