Rachel was a member of Group B and the best friend of Aris Jones, with whom she had a telepathic connection.

Biography[]

The Fever Code[]

Rachel was introduced in The Fever Code as being around fourteen, and Aris' partner in building the Mazes. When an outbreak of the Flare spread to nineteen WICKED staff members, Rachel assisted Aris, Thomas, and Teresa in euthanizing them. She did not relish the idea, however, and bitterly stated that WICKED's official motto should be "the ends justify the means."

The Scorch Trials[]

In The Scorch Trials, Rachel was first mentioned by Aris, who explained that she was the only one who cared for him, and they became friends shortly after Aris had arrived in the Maze. Rachel could communicate telepathically with Aris, like Thomas could with Teresa. From what Aris said, Rachel was Group B's equivalent of Thomas – the second-to-last newbie.

However, after Group B escaped from the Maze, a girl named Beth, who seemed to be Gally's equivalent, stabbed Rachel and killed her. The scenario was almost exactly the same as it did for the Gladers, except no one jumped in the way of the knife like Chuck had for Thomas. This lead Thomas to believe that he should have been killed if it were not for Chuck's sacrifice. It was later revealed that Chuck had been under WICKED's control when he jumped in the way of Thomas.

The Scorch Trials[]

In the The Scorch Trials, Aris shows Thomas an area where covered gurneys were wheeled into a locked room. Aris reveals that the vents wouldn't go into that room, but he had a bad feeling about it, especially since the number of gurneys wheeled in equals the number of people that were called earlier in the day to be "Released" from the base to a safer location.

Once Thomas swipes a WCKD personnel's credentials, he and Aris slipped into the room, discovering multiple teens from various Mazes hanging from the ceiling. Thomas mistook one girl hanging limply from one of the machines to be Teresa, but as he pushes her hair aside, Aris discovers that it is Rachel. Aris sadly explains to Thomas that she was called on the first night and that he comforted Rachel, saying that everything would be all right. Both deduce that Rachel is not dead but being kept in a coma-like state as her blood, tissue, and other organs are harvested to produce a Cure to the Flare.

The Death Cure[]

In the The Death Cure, Rachel's name was engraved on the Memorial Rock along with the names of victims during the war against WCKD. Aris most likely put Rachel's name on the rock.

Physical Appearance & Personality[]

In The Fever Code, Rachel was described as having dark skin, dark eyes and tightly curled hair.

In The Scorch Trials, Rachel had light skin and dark hair, causing Thomas to momentarily mistake her for Teresa. In The Scorch Trials Graphic Novel, Rachel was depicted with short red hair.
