Rachel was the second-born of a rather poor family in the Lower District of Gladiolus. They grew up as steadily as they could, her father the only one with a job during her earlier years, leaving her mother to care for her and her older brother. She really couldn't complain as life was pretty good for those living in a poor environment. She felt very close to her family, certain that as long as she had them, everything would be fine.

However, when she was ten, there was a draft in the city. Her father was taken in, though he assured everyone that he would be back. After he left, Rachel's mother had to find a job, but both Rachel and her brother went out looking for odd-jobs to do themselves to try and help. It took time, but they were able to find a type of routine... that is until they received word not even a year later that Rachel's father had died in action. That day, a part of the girl's security shattered.

By fifteen, Rachel had become rather cautious and protective of her mother and brother. She found a small job for herself, bringing in some money on her end as her brother had been accepted in a school to become a magitech researcher. The money he had saved up allowed him to enter without much difficulty as he was actually rather talented, Rachel often finding him tinkering with different things and even making others from scratch. She was happy for him, as well as their mother, though Rachel was worried that if he left, she'd never see him again. Just like their father.

A year later, Rachel and her mother had been living rather well. Her brother had been keeping in contact with letters and such, keeping Rachel's mind at ease while he was away. But not even this would last. As Rachel and her mother were coming home together one day, a group of thugs rushed them and drug them out of site. Rachel fought back, breaking free at one point, but as she tried to help her mother, she was blindsided and knocked out. By the time she came to, no one was nearby with no sign of her mother.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Her brother returned as soon as he heard about their mother's disappearance, but even having her brother there didn't help Rachel. First her father, then her mother. To Rachel, the world just seemed cruel and malicious. She'd be better off if everything and everyone just died off. Then, there would be nothing else to worry about. Little did she know what she would hear later.

News of the 'cult' reached Rachel's ears, making her wonder what they were about. She found a meeting one day, and listened to the message being spoken. 'Salvation for the faithful.' 'The world being cleansed.' It sounded exactly like what she wanted. Other around her seemed quick to either agree or disagree about the words preached, and Rachel didn't blame them. It sounded too good to be true. However, she wanted to believe what she heard.

Rachel felt her brother would object, so she left one night, taking what she needed, including a finished magitech project that her brother made a couple years ago, feeling she would have better use of it. She would find the 'cult' and join as a member. If everything that they said was true, she wanted to be a part of it. She wanted to find her own 'salvation'.
