Well, it should be noted that Rachael wasn't inserted into the story "from scratch"... she (or, more accurately, an angel character that filled a similar role) has existed in the draft for some time. But until about a month ago, that character was little more than a placeholder -- we knew what that that angel needed to -do-, but not really who that angel -was-.

Giving the Angel Rachael a personality modeled after Rachie turned out to be a perfect fit... and, we hope, a fitting tribute.

I never knew Rachie... I don't pretend that the character we wrote is fully representative of her. I don't think it -could- be. What I hope is that, in the end, we created a character that Rachie would be pleased to have her name (and memory) associated with.

It's all just one mistake after another.
