More About My Character:

-Personality: Rachel has changed quite a bit from the shy, scared first year she used to be. She's much more confident and allows herself to do stupid things for the fun of it without thinking about it too much. She is a very broad minded person and does not tolerate stereotypes, even thought she occasionally uses them herself. As a typical Ravenclaw, she tends to over analyze unimportant things in her head; but when it comes to serious matters she regularly blurts out what she thinks – and usually believes that those comments are stupid (very inconvenient, but true). She's very talkative as opposed to what she used to be, and has many great acquaintances at Hogwarts that wouldn’t be able to live without.

Rachel is an extremely self-judgmental person, and always worries about how she might appear in front of others. Back in her younger years, that only included verbal comments and jokes but lately she has grown to care a lot about her appearance and tries a lot harder to look pretty than she used to.

She dislikes overly-confident people, people who believe that they are above everyone else except for Willow Kovak and can get really annoyed when someone acts stupidly on purpose. She can tolerate people who aren't particularly smart, but she absolutely loathes talking to people with no common sense or a sense of what's going on around them. Unless they're hilariously funny, in which case she excuses them as simply slightly "ditzy".

Rachel takes her school work and duties very seriously, and being a Prefect only boosted that (she was prefect from her fourth year right through to her sixth year - three whole years). She likes the idea of helping out others, although she will be more inclined to assist those who come and ask for help rather than the ones who just expect the Prefects to help them with anything. She is exceptionally sharp-eyed when it comes to spotting those shy young first years who would love some help but are just too timid to ask for it, as she once was.

Her experience with boys over her previous years had taught her a lot about herself, what she can and can't tolerate and just how vulnerable she can be. Entering her last year, Rachel is hoping to be able to fit in some 'Rachel' time as well as studying for her NEWTs.
