Rachel

Rachel, labeled The Free Spirit, was a contestant on Total Drama Lakeside who was placed on the Killer Wildcats.
==Biography==
Rachel is an identical twin, and lives and goes to school in the northeast. While her twin and her parents have always been more by-the-books and concerned with actual, tangible ideas, Rachel has been the exact opposite for as long as she can remember - a response to growing up in a household that was, for lack of a better word... boring. She's intensely extroverted and a social butterfly, and not everyone can handle the amount of passion she exudes. She loves abstract concepts like nature, art, poetry, and astrology, and spends lots of her free time frolicking in the woods and finding new artistic muses. Sometimes, this involves the use of certain substances as well. Very unpredictable, she'll sometimes disappear for weeks at a time, only to come back like nothing happened and say she was "finding herself." Rachel is also a serial monogamist and has had many boyfriends, often waiting only a week after a breakup to dive right into a new one. She gets bored with them fairly easily, since most of them can't catch up with her physically or mentally.
Rachel joined Total Drama because she figured it'd be an adventure, and she wants to find a new muse, whether human or natural.

==Trivia==
*Rachel was the final character created for the story. She was inspired by a girl I met in Dublin, Ireland one night during my semester abroad.
*Although Rachel was always planned to be a pre-merge boot, my goal was to make her a fully realized character and not the usual one-dimensional caricature that characters like her usually are.
*The circumstances of Rachel's elimination were originally different—she was planned to leave one round later after being swapped to the Cheeses instead of Christian, and her carefree nature would've annoyed the likes of Kaitlin and Whitney. I figured this was too anticlimactic a way for her to go out, considering the Miles plot.
*I briefly considered having her and Miles actually get together, but decided they worked best as friends.
**I also briefly considered giving her a boyfriend at home who she would've neglected to mention, something that was foreshadowed in her bio above, but thought that'd be too similar to Erica's situation and wanted her to reject Miles for a different reason than that.
