[edit] Character History
Rachel originally appeared at Hoover Dam in The Titan's Curse. She warns Percy Jackson about a squad of skeletons who are about to attack him.
In The Battle of the Labyrinth she unexpectedly shows up at Percy's new school, Goode High School. She is able to see that two cheerleaders are really empusai and is able to help Percy escape from Kelli. Later, Percy asks her for help in navigating Daedalus's Labyrinth in order to locate Daedalus. She sets off with Percy and Annabeth through the maze. The demi-gods are worried someone will miss her, but she explains that no one would care if she were gone and leaves it at that. After finding that Daedalus has struck a bargain with Kronos, she escapes with Percy and Annabeth. Eventually the trio finds Kronos's headquarters. Kronos has, however, inhabited Luke and attempts to chase Percy down. Rachel appears with Annabeth and Nico and throws her hairbrush at Luke's face, which momentarily confuses Kronos. She also mysteriously manages to convince a limousine driver to ditch his client and take her and the others around to look for an entrance into the Labyrinth. She also assists in finding the lost god Pan and is present for his death. Later she parts ways with Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Grover, and Tyson, but not before revealing that her father is a wealthy businessman who buys up land and turns it into malls. But Pan's death had affected her. She expresses interest in hanging out with Percy again, much to Annabeth's dismay. Percy promises to call her and mentions that he has memorized her number, much to Rachel's delight. Later, during his birthday party, Percy laments that he thought of inviting her over, but was too afraid to try.
