Cultured, knowledgeable, and calm, yet haughty, domineering, and self-centered. She almost never takes action on her own, and is almost always attended by her companions Nago and Gii.
 
Her Drive's ability, {{h|Silpheed}}, allows her to control the wind on the screen, making her a one-of-a-kind character. Throw items in the wind and manipulate the opponent's characters to be gracefully victorious! <ref>''BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle Official Website (JP), Characters, [http://www.blazblue.jp/tag/character/bb04.php Rachel Alucard]''</ref>

  BBCF strategy
 
--><section begin=BBCFstrategy/>
Rachel manipulates the wind using her Drive "Silpheed" as she fights. Getting used to timing D attacks properly takes practice, but once learned, she's a character with unique and enjoyable moves.
 
At mid-range, use the long-reaching → + B or projectiles like Tiny Lobelia to control space between the opponent. When → + B scores a Counter Hit, it causes a stagger. If you use ↘ + D from a jump cancel, you can go for a close quarters combos with Jumping B. When Tiny Lobelia hits the ground, it creates a lightening rod. Launching Lotus Barrel with → + D then dashing allows Rachel to close the distance quickly.
 
Once in close, go from standing B, jump cancel Standing B, then quickly ↘ + A + D or ↘ + C + D. Jumping A or Jumping ↓ + C can even hit a crouching opponent, making it a good way to break crouching guards. Mix Standing B → Crouching B to break their guard. If the opponent closes in from the air, counter them with → + A. It can be jump cancelled only when it hits, so if you keep inputting a jump, you can go for a midair combo immediately if it connects.
 
When under pressure from the enemy, Crouching C is effective since it has a guard point against attacks. If you have Heat Gauge, a Counter Assault is also a solid choice.<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Tutorial Mode, Character Specifics, Rachel Alucard - Lesson 03 - Strategy Lessons''</ref>
