Description
Rachel Gardner, called Ray, is a 13-year-old girl with long blonde hair reaching her hips and blue eyes of shifting saturation. She dons a black-and-white striped shirt, black shorts, a loose white cardigan, black buckled boots, a plain black choker, and carries a small black messenger bag. Standing 156 cm tall, she possesses a petite frame.
Born June 10th to an unemployed mother and police officer father, Rachel endured severe neglect and abuse. Her parents despised each other, blaming her for their failing marriage and her perceived lack of empathy. Her father spent family funds on alcohol and prostitutes, leaving their home decrepit, forcing Rachel to wander alleys alone.
A pivotal incident unfolded when she discovered an alley puppy. Seeking permission, she witnessed her parents argue; her father stormed out and her mother slapped her. Finding her mother's hidden handgun, Rachel attempted to capture the puppy, which bit her. She shredded the animal, sewed it back together, and placed it in a box. Later that night, she saw her father stab her mother to death. When he turned on her, she shot him in self-defense. She then sewed both parents' corpses together, creating her "perfect family."
Authorities institutionalized her, fearing she might harm others seeking "perfection." Her therapist, Dr. Daniel Dickens, became obsessed with her blank blue eyes, reminiscent of his mother's. Using his authority, he transferred her to an experimental building, making her master of Floor B1. He modeled it after her home, filling it with deadly traps, and provided gifts including her parents' corpses. Discovering a Bible left by a murdered nun triggered a breakdown; she developed dissociative amnesia, intense guilt, and a belief God would never accept her. Hoping to restore her former self, Dr. Dickens sent her to Floor B7 as a sacrifice, placing a handgun in her bag.
Waking on Floor B7 with amnesia, she recalled only her name and a hospital visit. Following computerized prompts and wall messages, she navigated to Floor B6, encountering serial killer Isaac "Zack" Foster. After he killed an injured bird she tried to help, she sewed it back together and buried it. When Zack nearly killed her, her memories resurfaced after Dr. Dickens triggered a flashback by stating her parents were "in Hell." Paralyzed by trauma, she became apathetic and requested Zack kill her. Designated sacrifices for breaking rules, they formed a pact: she would aid his escape in exchange for her death.
Ascending the floors, she remained detached yet strategically resourceful. She outmaneuvered Floor B4 master Edward Mason, rejecting his offer to kill her because Zack had "sworn to God" to do it. On Floor B3, she and Zack defeated Catherine Ward, surviving gas chambers and lethal injections. When Zack was severely injured, she ventured alone to lower floors for medicine, treating others as obstacles with ruthless pragmatism. Floor B2 master Abraham Gray, the facility's architect, accused her of selfishness and using Zack as a substitute for God. Her fixation on divine atonement intensified, leading her to view Zack as her new "God."
Reaching Floor B1—her domain—she recognized the recreated house and stitched parental corpses, triggering hysterical desperation for Zack to kill her immediately. Dr. Dickens, having survived, manipulated Zack into leaving her locked in the room. Zack discovered her past as the floor master through Gray: her dissociative amnesia stemmed from guilt over killing her parents and her actions as B1's trap-setting master. Confronted with this truth and fearing Zack would reject their pact, she shot Danny to claim the kill herself. She then turned on Zack, luring him into her traps. After he subdued her, he helped her accept her actions were driven by a desire for connection, not divine judgment. They renewed their oath with mutual commitment.
Escaping the collapsing building, Danny shot Rachel, but Gray intervened and killed Danny. Zack surrendered to police to ensure her medical treatment. After recovery, Rachel entered rehabilitation for delirium and attachment to Zack. Weeks or months later, Zack escaped custody and retrieved her from the center. They vanished together, leaving only his knife behind.
Her personality evolved from initial stoicism—a trauma response—to fleeting expressions of fear, anger, and compassion. Labeled ruthless and manipulative by other floor masters, she lacked inherent malice but struggled with empathy and moral comprehension. Her fixation on God shifted from seeking atonement through death to viewing Zack as a divine figure, ultimately reconciling with her true wish: to be wanted in life and death. Despite emotional limitations, she formed a genuine bond with Zack, prioritizing his safety and demonstrating loyalty, such as defending him despite personal risk.
