Rachel

  Today let’s take a minute to discuss Rachel (or R.E.D., if you prefer).  I know a lot of fans out there, for some weird reason, hate her; but I don’t understand why.  Rachel is such a great character! Fans that hate R.E.D may say something like, “Oh, well, I hate her because she wanted to date Percy”.  Now put yourself in Rachel’s position…You meet someone like Percy and he doesn’t have a girlfriend, and you like him.  Would you want to date him?  Of course!

  If that's not why you hate Rachel, then I challenge you to give me another reason that actually makes any sense.  There is nothing else you can have against her.

   Rachel became CHB oracle in the Last Olympian;. I think that there couldn’t be a better position for her in the world of the gods.  Her personality fits very well, and it was about time that they got rid of the old, muffied oracle. 

  Rachel’s cave/cabin is really cool.  I wouldn’t mind living there; it seems very nice for a cave. 

  I really like that Annabeth and Rachel are now friends.  I knew that they would be good friends; it was just that Rachel had to decide that she wasn’t the right person for Percy before Annabeth could really consider them being friends.

I need to ask a question though.  Do you remember when Rachel wanted/needed Percy to go on vacation with her in order to tell him that he was not the one that the Great Prophecy was talking about?  Well does anyone understand why he had to go on vacation with her to be told that?  I have yet to really figure that out.

  Now I want to go back in time real quick and talk about the first time that Percy met Rachel.  I was laughing SO hard then.  It was just one of those moments.  I mean how odd is it to take out your pen sword when someone sneezes.  Then, that person asks if you always try to cut people in half when they sneeze.  That is just one of the best quick meetings yet for Percy.

  I want to get one thing clear before I go.  I am a complete Percabeth fan(Nothing else makes any sense!) I am, however, a Rachel fan.  Summary:  Percabeth > Percachel, but I don’t hate Rachel.

  Thanks for reading and feel free to comment below!
