Overview

Head of the infamous Alucard vampire family, Rachel has spent countless years watching as the world repeated the same 100 years over and over. However, the world has finally broken free of the bonds that held it for so long, and Rachel is determined to put an end to Terumi with her own hands.

In the BlazBlue universe, Rachel is an extremely powerful individual, controlling wind and lightning. While she will rarely directly interfere with the events that surround Kagutsuchi, her primary goal is as an observer, and gently (or less so) nudges the pieces into their places. She has several servants under her command; Nago, a cat familiar, and Gii, a bat familiar, which serve as her weapons, furniture, and anger relief. Her butler, Valkenhayn R. Hellsing, is also notable for being a werewolf, as well as one of the Six Heroes.

Amusingly Rachel herself never actually blocks or gets hit when in battle, the spritework always shows Nago (when being hit) or Gii (When blocking) taking the hit instead, so her health bar is probably better described as Nago's health bar.



Drive: Sylpheed

Rachel's Drive lets her summon wind in eight different directions. Wind affects all of Rachel's projectiles, movement, and her opponent's position during combos. The number of wind stocks available is indicated by a gauge at the bottom of the screen, above her meter bar, and each gust consumes one stock on a total of four available. The Sylpheed Gauge regenerates at a decent rate while Rachel is on the ground and much more slowly while Rachel is in the air. Her wind will also rapidly increase if she stays completely still for a few seconds, though she can still attack and receive this bonus burst of wind. Since wind is used for various actions such as movement, mix-up, zoning and combos, it plays a core part in Rachel's game plan and thus requires careful and judicious management.
