The First Maraudette: Could you do a rant about Rachel? Personally, I like her and I would live to know what you think about her.
Rachel.
Rachel and I have a love/hate relationship.
Some scenes I love her, some I'm ready to punch her in the face.
Let's start at the beginning,
It's Titan's Curse and Percy just ran her through with a sword. I thought she was so funny and I loved her. I got a little sad when she wasn't mentioned again...
But I read The Battle of the Labyrinth and I was so pleased that Rick brought her back! That's when I shipped Percy and Rachel. I was postive that Percy was going to have a normal girlfriend and they would be happy together! And then Annabeth and Percy kissed and I hopped off that ship fast. Anyway, when Rachel hit Kronos in the eye with the hairbrush that's when I started to dislike her. Yup, a normal mortal can hit a Titan in the eye with a hairbrush and run away like a boss and he doesn't even do anything about it!
But it is Percy Jackson... anything's possible.
And at the beginning of The Last Olympian when she kissed Percy. I felt pity for her I mean she knows Percy doesn't like her that way.. but when she comes in the helicopter acting like a hero I got annoyed. Seriously? Your just a mortal, I know your seeing freaky things but couldn't you tell Percy later? He's in the middle of a battle! But, without Rachel I guess Percy wouldn't be able to defeat Kronos so thank you Rachel...
And then she became the orcale... WHAT? Rick! Seriously? Couldn't she have a normal life?
I know without Rachel so many things wouldn't happen and I'm glad we have Rachel.
Now, just because I don't like Rachel that much doesn't mean I'm a huge fan of Annabeth, yes I ship Percabeth but that doesn't mean I love her. I think Annabeth is worse then Rachel (but thats another rant...) and just because I don't hate Rachel doesn't mean I think her and Percy should date...
I think Rachel haters need to calm down! She isn't trying to break up Percabeth because when they kissed there was no Percabeth! She doesn't hate Annabeth, yes maybe Annabeth hates her but no where in the PJO books does it show any sign of Rachel hating Annabeth. And, Rachel is an orcale now so she can't date guys so she isn't trying to steal Percy, she "broke up" with him in TLO.
So to answer the question, Rachel grew onto me so yes, I do like her.
But, I don't ship Prachal (Percy and Rachel) I'm more of a Rapollo (Rachel and Apollo) person.
Quick question: What's Rachel's flaw? That's been bugging me all day...
Thanks for reading! For all those Rachel fans, could you answer that question for me? Thanks. And next rant is on Hera!
