Soon after, Rachel found out that Tom was wanted by the government for domestic terrorism. When Tom later showed up at her house, Rachel refused to let him in, which led to an argument with Maddie. However, Ozzy soon revealed that Tom was carrying an unconscious and alien anthropomorphic hedgehog named Sonic. Upon seeing Sonic, Rachel immediately fainted. Afterward, she got tied up in a chair so that she could not call the authorities. Despite her pleas and complaints, she could not convince Jojo to untie her, and Tom and Maddie soon took her car so they could get to the Transamerica Pyramid with Sonic.

After Rachel recovered from the snow blanket however, it was revealed when Sonic got tasered that her wedding had been fabricated by agents from G.U.N. as a part of Operation: Catfish, a military operation meant to capture Sonic, with Randall's guests, the priest, and even Randall himself being G.U.N. agents. After Commander Walters then made his entrance, Rachel demanded an explanation, prompting Walters to explain the origins and purpose of G.U.N.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3[]
Rachel doesn't appear in the third film. However, Maddie disguises herself as Rachel when she and Tom use hologram devices to sneak into G.U.N. Headquarters. She and Randall were mentioned as husband and wife by Tom and Maddie, meaning that they made up and got married as well that she joined G.U.N at some point too.
Personality[]
Rachel is a straightforward, no-nonsense woman. She dislikes being lied to and prefers it when situations are handled in a legal way, as shown when she threatened to call the police on Tom when he did not explain why he was wanted by the government. She also dislikes Tom and is always bothering Maddie to divorce him. Regardless, she was willing to help her free him from G.U.N. so that she could confront Randall.
Rachel possesses an intimidating and quite explosive personality. Known to have a big temper, she will loudly protest her dislikes, like when Tom and Maddie took her car. When pushed over the edge, Rachel is notably impulsive and exceptionally loud, as well as unafraid to take matters into her own hands, even during her times of extreme emotional vulnerability and sadness. She is likewise very threatening and not afraid to resort to violence when seething with anger, showing no hesitation to run over Randall following Operation: Catfish and confronting him about his deception. For all her temper problems though, she is not unreasonable when angry, as her emotional vulnerability can make her lower her guard and make her willing to listen to explanations and even forgive others for upsetting her.
Relationships[]
Jojo[]
Jojo is Rachel's daughter. In addition to including her in much of her life, Rachel spends a lot of time with Jojo. She also never yells at her in spite of her temper, even when she willingly ignores her. She also always addresses her in a gentle and composed tone.
Maddie Wachowski[]

Maddie Wachowski is Rachel's younger sister. While Rachel is close to her, to the point that they have their her own parting gesture and is willing to house her and include her in her life, she does not approve of her marriage to Tom, having deemed him unworthy of her. As such, she constantly tries encouraging her to divorce him. However, Maddie always ignores her attempts, opting not to engage in such conversations. When that does not work though, they tend to argue a lot. Even though they do not agree with each other about many issues though, they are able to join forces and work as a well-oiled team to achieve their goals, like when they worked together to get through several G.U.N. agents.
Tom Wachowski[]

Having been noted by Randall to not care for Tom Wachowski at all, Rachel dislikes Tom immensely, having declared him no good and unworthy of her sister Maddie's love. As such, she works towards getting Maddie to divorce him, and is willing to talk about him behind his back. Notably, when Tom was wanted for domestic terrorism, Rachel would refuse to house him and not even give him a moment to explain himself, showing an utter lack of trust in him.
During her engagement with Randall, Rachel showed a more accepting side of Tom, although it was still laced with contempt; while she would offer to bury the hatchet between them when he came to her wedding, she would also give him the warning not to screw up her wedding or she would end him as she ended up annoyed when Sonic tried to call Tom on his phone interrupting her wedding a few times. Nevertheless, she was still willing to free him from G.U.N so that she could confront Randall.
Randall Handel[]

Randall Handel is Rachel's current love interest. Having fallen genuinely in love with Randall, she would appreciate him for both his handsomely good looks and personality, to the extend that she would agree to marry him. However, after learning that her wedding was a set up by G.U.N. and that Randall was to marry her as a part of Operation: Catfish, Rachel slipped in an unparalleled fit of anger and sadness that made her doubt everyone around her, including Jojo. Feeling deceived and betrayed by Randall, Rachel sought to enact terrible retribution upon him using the worst kind of physical violence she could think of. At the same time though, his deceit also left her emotionally vulnerable and confused, which prompted Rachel to ask him directly if their love was ever real before attempting to seriously hurt him. In the end though, she forgave Randall after he admitted that he truly loved her.
By the events of the third film, they became husband and wife.
