===Relationships===
====[[Taylor Hebert]]====
Rachel tried to hurt Taylor in her first meeting in an attempt to keep an "outsider" from joining the group.<ref>[[Insinuation 2.8]]</ref> Rachel gained respect for Taylor after she retaliated for this assault.<ref name="11ae77" /><ref>“It’s easy,” Rachel said, taking over while I was distracted.  “You hurt people until they stop doing whatever it is that irritated you.  ''Taylor'' kicked me in the head the first time we met, and she was way scrawnier than you are now.  I stopped doing what she hated me doing, setting my dogs on her.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/31 Excerpt] from [[Cockroaches 28.1]]</ref>Taylor made an effort to get along with her that Rachel truly appreciated.

Thus she felt deeply betrayed when Taylor's reasons for joining the Undersiders were revealed. She voted against Taylor rejoining the Undersiders and tried to get her captured though she felt regret over this.<ref name="11ae1" /> They eventually repaired their relationship.

Following the Undersiders [[Coil's Betrayal|falling out]] with their employer and proving that Skitter had not actually betrayed her, for what Rachel thought was the second time, she held Taylor's hand as they went to the hospital to check their injuries. She likely referenced Taylor when she said that she could stand one or two of the Undersiders.<ref name="16.13" />

A notable shift in their relationship occurs when Taylor starts referring to Bitch as Rachel in her inner monologue. Rachel began to trust Taylor explicitly and was shocked at [[Extermination 8.8|both]] of her [[Skitter's Surrender|betrayals]],<ref name="I21.ye2">“Tell me what?” Bitch asked.  She glanced around.  “Where’s Skitter?”<br /><br />Nobody volunteered an answer.<br /><br />“Is she hurt?” Bitch asked.  She didn’t even sound concerned.  When nobody spoke up, she expanded her question.  “Is she ''dead''?”<br /><br />“Fuck it,” Regent said, “I’ll say it.  Skitter’s at the PRT headquarters.”<br /><br />“So?  We break her out.”<br /><br />“She went there on purpose,” Regent said, almost offhandedly.  ''Carelessly''.<br /><br />Parian couldn’t help but notice the way Bitch clenched her hands, one gripping the metal chain until her knuckles went white.<br /><br />“Regent,” Grue said.<br /><br />“What?  You don’t want to deliver the news, you don’t get a say in how it’s presented,” Regent retorted<br /><br />Bentley and the wolf cub both planted their feet further apart, while the pitbull was looking around, all of a sudden.<br /><br />''There''.  Bentley’s shoulders were bulging slightly.  Bitch was using her powers.<br /><br />“''So''?” Bitch asked. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/interlude-21/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.y]]</ref> not believing them to have happened.

In the end, they were close friends. After Taylor's disappearance after Gold Morning, Bitch constructed a private memorial to her on Earth Gimel.<ref name="e.4 e5">“A memorial?” Vista asked, laying a hand against the largest stone.<br /><br />“Yeah.”<br /><br />“Can I ask who for?  Or is that a dumb question?”<br /><br />“Dumb question,” Rachel said.  She leaned back, resting her head against the stone behind her.  When Vista didn’t respond, Rachel relented.  She pointed at where the two trees rested against one another by the cliff face.  “When the weather was warm, there was a bee’s nest there.  The buzzing doesn’t bother me as much as you’d think.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/11/12 Excerpt] from [[Teneral e.4]]</ref>

====[[Lisa Wilbourn]]====
Though Lisa can get along with Rachel, it is Taylor that makes the connection that Rachel's power has fundamentally changed her mindset.

Tattletale acted as an interpreter for Bitch before and after Taylor's time with the Undersiders, and made sure Bitch's group had everything it needed when it moved to Gimel.

====[[Brian Laborn]]====
Rachel respected Brian as a person and as the leader of the Undersiders,<ref name="11ae77" /> but she did not have much connection with him, simply following his orders.

====[[Biter]]====
She was happy that he didn't make their sexual relationship "more than it should be."<ref name="e.4 e1">“Damn, ''civilization''!”  Biter commented.<br><br>“You think we can get any fast food here?”  Cassie asked.  “A burger, pizza, um…”<br><br>“Fried chicken,” Biter said.  “Hell, I’d go for just ''french fries''."<br>[...]<br>She was losing Biter.  This wasn’t the life for him.  He was loyal, he wasn’t dumb, and he wasn’t a bad lay, if she was in the mood for that.  Didn’t, unlike some, make it more than it should be.  He took it in stride. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/11/12 Excerpt] from [[Teneral e.4]]</ref>
====[[Missy Biron]]====
Rachel and Missy struck up a friendship after Gold Morning.{{Ref||Teneral e.4}}

Two years later they continued to be friends. 

They understand each other as only good friends can.{{Ref||Last 20.end}}
====[[Kenzie Martin]]====
Her relationship to Kenzie is a study for how Rachel has matured since her years in Brockton bay. While originally furious that kenzie 'stole' a puppy,{{Ref|At the edge of the clearing, looking a little more hostile than friendly, a snarling dog-mask flipped down to cover her face, Rachel stood with one wolf and one dog at high alert to either side of her.  Yips hung further back.<br/><br/>“Rachel,” I called out.<br/><br/>She indicated Kenzie.  “My business is with her.”<br/><br/>“What happened?”<br/><br/>“She knows what she did,” Rachel growled.<br/><br/>“Um!” Kenzie started.  “Uh, sorry?  I-”<br/><br/>“Hand him over.”<br/>[...]<br/>He put his gun away, moving with care, and then reached down to retrieve ‘him’.<br/><br/>Kenzie had had a puppy zipped up into her jacket, camouflaged with her projector tech.<br/>[...]<br/>Rachel looked at each and every one of us, as if we’d perpetrated the crime in question, and didn’t so much as look at or respond to Kenzie.<br/><br/>“-so I didn’t even realize it was a problem, I’m sorry, I am, I was distracted-”<br/><br/>Rachel stormed away, snapping her fingers for her dogs to follow.<br/>[...]<br/>I adjusted my grip on her.  Looking a little nervous, phantom hands gripping her by the waist and hips, she pulled on the jacket.<br/><br/>“Kenzie took a puppy,” I explained.<br/><br/>“Fuck.  Okay. [...] Might be fixable,” Tattletale amended her statement.|#Radiation 18.8}} she was able to forgive the girl a short time later with only one near death-experience precipitating this change.{{Ref|“You can come again sometime,” Rachel said, her eyes on the growing fire.  “When the kids aren’t there.  They’re a pain sometimes. Especially ''yours''.”<br/><br/>She’d looked at Victoria as she said it.<br/><br/>“Mine?  Kenzie?”<br/><br/>“She yaps.  ''Constantly''.”<br/><br/>“I didn’t think she was invited back.”<br/><br/>Rachel sighed, heavily, grabbing wood by the points the fire hadn’t reached and rearranging it.<br/><br/>Missy glanced at Victoria, behind Rachel’s back.  Victoria at least seemed to sense it wasn’t a good idea to push further.  Missy avoided asking for clarification.  She’d heard parts of it.<br/><br/>“You can’t separate them.”  Rachel’s tone was morose.  “I won’t leave her unsupervised.”<br/><br/>“She’ll be ecstatic,” Victoria said.<br/><br/>“She’ll be ''good'', or else.”<br/><br/>“It’ll be good for her.  It’s been a rough couple of months,” Victoria said.<br/><br/>“Mm.”|#20.end (Epilogue; Vista)}}
