* EveryoneHasStandards: She's willing to viciously break a man's femur for trying to [[BerserkButton trying to shoot one of her dogs]], but she's clearly bothered by the Siberian killing the same man by [[EyeScream plunging her fingers into his eyes]].
* FireForgedFriends: With Taylor. Rachel was ''not'' happy with the former joining the Undersiders early on, going as far as to physically assault her in the team’s base in one of their early meetings to try and drive her away. Over time and across many death-defying experiences, though, they start to grow closer (helped along by Taylor [[DefeatMeansFriendship beating Rachel up in return]]), culminating in Rachel saving Taylor’s life in the Leviathan battle, sacrificing several of her dogs to do so. By the end of the series Rachel is arguably Taylor’s best friend amongst the Undersiders (and possibly her closest friend, ''period'').

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: An interesting example by way of PaintingTheMedium. Taylor’s narration normally code-switches between other characters’ cape names and real names based on [[{{Kayfabe}} whether or not they’re in costume at the time]], but she exclusively refers to Rachel as “Bitch” due to their [[TeethClenchedTeamwork fraught relationship]]. After they [[FireForgedFriends start to grow closer]], though, Taylor’s narration switches to near-exclusively referring to Rachel by her given name, even when in costume, illustrating how their bond has changed.

* CharacterDevelopment: While she never fully overcomes her anger issues and isolationist nature, Rachel becomes a ''lot'' nicer and more approachable over the course of the series, willing to work through her own mental problems for the sake of others, as is best shown by the close bond she forms with Taylor even after they initially hated each other.
