If she lived...
« on: January 20, 2009, 02:15:46 AM »
If you think she would have done something else, please post it. I joined this site recently so if this was a disussion not long ago then I apologize, but I'm really curious what you guys think she would have become. And to add to it all, if she lived what would you think would become of the other characters affected by her death? (i.e. Jake and Tobias?)

I dunno. i think she might have ended up like Jake, restless, and purposeless. But she may still have been able to be with tobias...though I'm not sure how long that would have lasted.

I agree with that myself. Tobias and Cassie tended to be the more moralizing of the group, Rachel and Marco more about the results no matter the moral dilemma. Even Tobias probably would not have been able to stay with the Postwar version of Rachel. I think ultimately Tobias would have always sought seclusion as a hawk.

I believe so. He would hold on to the fact that she could be the old Rachel that he loved. But long term, not sure. He insists that he would morph human and stay that way because it would mean that he was out of the fight. But was that the reason or the excuse? Even the other Animoprhs say they thought he preferred this body (hawk) and even stated that they had never asked him but thought perhaps he became a nothlit on purpose. Rachel had her issues but so did he, who knows if that would have lasted...

Well, in one of my fanfics I figured that Tobias and Rachel would get married and live together, but Rachel would turn to some extreme sports (rock climbing in particular) to get that rush she wanted.

I never really considered that . . . that's quite plausible . . .

I remember Jake deciding to fight against terrorists to have something to do. Rachel would likely do that too. She might join the military or become a policewoman. Or maybe extreme sports or something. There are a lot of things to do.

Jake wouldn't have been as depressed if Rachel and Tom survived, though he may be down about past decisions. Rachel could have helped him with that.

I could imagine Tobias becoming a Human nothlit after being convinced by rachel and his mom. Maybe taking a job as a pilot after that.

It's the kind of ending I would write.

If Rachel lived, I think that Tobias would be a lot more friendly.  He kind of vanished after Rachel died.

yeah cuz he really had nothing to live for anymore. he was one of those that needed that unconditional love, that attention. And when its not there, they would rather be by themselves, even if it hurts, hoping someone will come and rescue them.

Rachel was like Tobias's beacon to follow.   When she went out, he had no where to go and became lost.  He was constantly in pain.  If she had not gone out, he would have continued to follow her and be out in the world.

Wow.  Sudden weirdly deep words.  Sorry.

Yeah, if you ignore Ax and his mom. I can understand him not liking Jake, who gave the order for her to do that mission, but it's not like he didn't have anything left at all.

He kinda only had the sky.  Which was where he found comfort, as he says in 3.

i tink he jumped the gun. but then again, you lost the only girl you've ever really loved who loved you back. Sure, Ax and Jake were there, sure his mom too, but its not the same as your significant other.
