Editing Rachel Lindt (section)

====[[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>
