Bringing someone along?: Her familiar, Nago.
Character History: BlazBlue wiki
Nago is one of two familiars Rachel usually has around with her. He is a shapeshifting black cat, able to transform into a variety of objects: a cannon that shoots out lances, a chair, or most commonly an umbrella. He acts as snobbish and arrogant as Rachel, only showing respect to his mistress (or affectionately termed 'Princess'), but this doesn't stop her from beating him at times as well.
Personality:
As the current head of the Alucard family, Rachel is a highly-educated, refined, and upper class kind of individual. On the surface she is your stereotypical aristocrat, and it's evident from the way she dresses to her hobbies. She speaks in a highly sophisticated manner, thus resulting in cryptic sentences that more often than not carry thinly-veiled insults for those who understand. Despite her upbringing, she looks down upon others and often talks to them using demeaning nicknames such as "child" or "idiot." Granted, almost everyone could be considered a child in her eyes, but it doesn't make it any less insulting. However, she doesn't carry any actual ill will towards others; she just finds it amusing to toy with them or rile them up. As much as others try to insult her back, it's nearly impossible to break her cool, the only ones capable of doing so being Terumi (someone she actually hates) and Ragna (someone she actually cares for deeply).
She can be snobbish, arrogant, and rude, but she's powerful enough to get away with it. Due to the repeating time-loop and her position as an "Observer," being bored is one of her biggest problems. While usually quiet and reserved, her boredom often drives her to go and pick fights with other people. She acts disinterested, even with her apathetic threats of grievous bodily harm, but with how many insults she'll throw their way you'd think otherwise. Of course, she does know perfectly well how to act like a proper young lady, though she hardly ever acts like it. Even her familiars Nago and Gii aren't safe from her; Rachel tries to use as little physical effort as possible, and as such she uses her familiars to do battle for her, attacking and becoming shields for her. She also tends to beat them when she feels that they're being idiots or if she's simply frustrated, much to their chagrin.
For all her arrogance and haughtiness though, she is a bit of a child inside. Her hobby of drinking tea may seem mature and adult-like, but the snacks she loves to eat with it are not. Sweets and desserts are among her favorites, especially cakes--milk crepes and financiers specifically. She also seems to hate vegetables such as bell peppers and tomatoes. However, what she specifically hates is tomato juice, which may just be an extension of her loathing her vampire instincts. She finds the act of drinking blood to be barbaric and disgusting. Her hair ties often give others the impression that she looks like a rabbit which irritates her to no end. In battle, she claims that she hasn't been defeated but has simply grown bored and teleports herself away. Given her great powers and using her familiars as shields, this may hold some shred of truth, but to others it would appear that she is simply a sore loser.
Above all, she loves her world. As an Observer, she is prohibited from taking any direct action herself which leads her to bothering others in hopes that it will trigger something to break the time loop. To her great distress, her efforts tend to be futile. Her frustration has grown to the point where she once dropped all pretenses of grace and eloquence to punch Ragna in the face and tearfully ask him why he can't learn from his mistakes and break the loop. Being someone she actually cares for, albeit she'd never admit it, it truly saddens her to see him trapped in the time loop. Her own repeated failure to break the time loop has even caused her to question if she is truly fit to be the head of the Alucard family.
Even after losing her position as an Observer, Rachel is a self-centered, proud character who refuses to admit to any sort of weakness or flaw; implying she has feelings for Ragna is bound to earn you a beating, and even after being tricked and defeated by Terumi in a Bad End she continued to insult him. However, at heart she is simply trying to fix her world and help the people in it.
Extra:
Character Abilities: First and foremost, Rachel is a vampire. While she doesn't need to feed off of human blood (in fact, she hates doing so), feeding off from someone can give them supernatural abilities or turn them into a dhampir. Other abilities include a mastery of sorcery, displayed by her control over wind and lightning. She can even use herself as a lightning rod and won't be electrocuted, though she can simply use Nago to summon lightning rods as well. Silpheed, her ability to control wind, can push both herself and other people or objects in any direction she desires. She can also create portals that will teleport her to anywhere she desires, though she hasn't exactly mastered this particular skill yet and will sometimes teleport to somewhere she didn't intend to. Rachel is also capable of creating a kind of pocket dimension called Requiem which intersects with the dream world where she waits for the next time loop to start. Lastly, her dress can transform and shapeshift into a variety of different forms, from a drill to a fork and knife. Suffice to say, Rachel is one of the most powerful characters in her canon.
Possessions: Just her clothes and Nago!
Anything else: Her mental age is most likely far older than her physical age not only because she is a vampire, but also because she was recently stuck in a time loop for an unknown amount of time. Several repetitions and divergent paths had to take place before it was finally broken, so who knows how old she really is.
Samples:
Action/Communication thread/post sample: d_m post
Log/Prose sample:
As the rose petals from her teleportation settled around her, Rachel opened her eyes to find a dreadfully familiar sight. The 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi lied before her, its people hustling and bustling the same as always, so blissfully unaware of how they've lived the exact same day hundreds of times over. It almost made her wish she was just as ignorant; at least then she wouldn't be so terribly bored all the time. Prohibited from stepping onto the stage, and prohibited from informing the actors of the plot--with such restrictions placed on her, finding something remotely interesting was a challenge.
"Princess~" Nago sing-songed from above her, his voice as gratingly cheerful as always. "What shall we be doing? It's not everyday that you decide to step out of your castle after all."
Floating next to her, Gii hummed in agreement. "I'll say. I don't know how much more I can take, what with you always bea--"
Whatever he was about to say next was forever lost as Rachel quickly smacked him in the face, sending him to wobble pitifully in the air. Nago laughed haughtily in the air, saying something along the likes of "that's what you get, Gii," and Rachel had half a mind to punish him as well. As it was though, such effort seemed utterly pointless, so she settled for simply sighing and looking pointedly at her bat familiar. "Gii. Shut up."
"Y-Yes, Princess..."
"Nevertheless," she continued, flipping out her hair as she surveyed the crowd, "I suppose we shall find someone to entertain me today. As hopeless as this bunch is, something interesting is bound to happen given enough time. They shall receive severe punishment if they dare to disappoint me; I've been patient long enough, and it's high time I see some changes."
Which was certainly true, in her not-so-humble opinion. She had only been going through this ridiculous play for, what, an accumulation of a couple thousands of years or so? Give or take a few thousand more, of course. She had long lost count by now, but that only further emphasized the need to gets thing starting. How much longer did she have to trapped in this insufferable time loop?
"Ah, Princess, look up ahead! Is that Ragna I spot over there~?"
Amidst the crowd was an unmistakable red form, his bright white hair and perpetual scowl completing the out-of-place look. Smiling lightly to herself, she waited for Ragna to start coming her way. As foul of a mouth he had, he was sure to be entertaining in his attempts to best her, if only for a little while. At this point though, she was willing to take what she could get.
"Why I believe it is, Nago. It seems we have found our reprieve from boredom for the time being. Now, let's be sure to greet him, hm? It would be quite rude of us not to, after all."
"I think you're the only one here that's bored, Princess..." Gii whined pathetically, finally done being dizzy and making his way over to Rachel. Unfortunately, that only earned him another punishment as she grabbed and stretched him like a rubber toy while she waited for Ragna.
