rachel is genuinely so refreshing for a female character. she is not gonna beat around the bush, she doesn& #39;t give a shit about the protagonist and she is willing to commit murder and more just to reach her goals

rachel turns around the tropes i hate most that are handed over to women in male-oriented works and that& #39;s why i like her

1. her existence doesn& #39;t revolve around a man and she& #39;s actually super selfish and determined to reach her own personal goals

2. beauty/romance/etc isn& #39;t the center of her character. instead it& #39;s actually a fascinating weakness she has because she hates her appearance and all to a huge degree but it isn& #39;t like. her Goal or whatever to become beautiful or attaining beauty isn& #39;t her entire character

instead her complicated relationship w/ her appearance is tied into a much more deeper intrinsic problem with her and it& #39;s her desire to be more than what she is (a fairy tale princess/legend/etc) which doesn& #39;t match with her very plain looks.

3. she isn& #39;t a "pure" "clueless" female character or a "super" "evil" female character who& #39;s "evil" because she& #39;s a woman. rachel is just a very manipulative horrible person and that& #39;s it. she& #39;s a character of her own. no connection to weird prejudicial thoughts of women
