Rachel's a rather happy, entertaining character, added for more of a support class, and for a happier character to be in the party. And no, she's not there for fanservice. She's there to actually contribute to the game.
Rachel's from Quetzalquartz, which may explain why her last name is similar to "crescendo", a musical term for gradually getting louder. Her backstory involves some interesting issues with the police force of Quetzalquartz, as well as a strange group of people who use the moon and stars to guide them through things. Through these issues, she develops a few abilities, including the (not too useful) ability to change her hair in whatever way she likes. Rachel's abilities are based mainly on healing the others and providing help for the party. Like Joshua, her abilities can be amplified by different types of music, though it's a little more limited in terms of what they do. Instead of what Aspect the music calls, the change actually is mostly based on the overall mood of the song. If the song calls up the Earth Aspect, however, it'll still help a bit.
Rachel's dual knives and slight thieving abilities help out in combat, and though her normal attack stat may be a bit weaker than the rest, the effects she can apply to herself, the others, and her enemies more than makes up for it.
Rachel's gone through MANY redesigns. This is mostly caused by me having to learn how to draw girls instead of guys all the time. Early on she actually looked rather similar to Josh, but over time she began to develop her own look. Most of the time, you'll see her in the more recent drawings with either brown or blue hair.
Or no color.
Eh.
^^That's the current design. The next picture has her in a different outfit, one designed as a sort of "Vanity Armor" set. In-game it's called "Cover Armor", and I'll go over that next.
Now that the party members have been introduced, it's time for a concept or two.
Huzzah!
